When you're friends question you about it, just be like "Yeah, I haven't had a boyfriend yet.. I'm just waiting for the right guy to come along.. taht's all."
Don't just go and find one just to say you've had one before, really look for a guy you really want to be with.
A lot of people are shy when it comes to talking to flirting with a guy or even talking to him. When you find someone you think is cute or want to get to know, just pretend like you're going to be talking to a friend. Just smile and giggle and stuff.
When you flirt with a guy and a guy see's it, he'll flirt back with you. If you want a guy to have your number just be like "Call me sometime" then they'll have to ask for your number!!
I hope this helps and if you need anymore help, just leave a message in my inbox.

Some people take a little more time to find their first boyfriend, and when you do find him, it'll be even more special.
I haven't had a lot of boyfriends, only about 3, but they were mostly all long-term boyfriends.
The right guy is out there for you, you just have to give it sometime. Don't look for love, let it find you. It'll come, I promise you. ♥ [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]
Teza answered Wednesday December 21 2005, 8:35 pm: It's normal that you haven't had a boyfriend yet. Those girls shouldn't act like it's a big deal because it's really not. The reason I think you might of not had a guy approach you is because you don't talk much to them. You have to let loose & just be comftrable with talking to guys & be confident. People have a thing of thinking that they will embarass themselves and that they will do something or say something stupid & it's not like that. Just have fun flirting with them. You're a girl, you'll enjoy it. The more guys you flirt with, they will get to know you better and better & even like you. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Anyway, im guessing your question is how to get a bf? If not srry, leave me a question. Well, you CANT be shy. You should get some guy friends and hang around guys so you can see how they talk and their intrests. Gotta make friends. Then start hangin out with them & the closer you get the easier it is. Remember to flirt.
hco_babe answered Wednesday December 21 2005, 8:11 pm: its alright if youve never had a boyfriend. a lot of girls i am friends with didnt have boyfriends until just a little while ago, and they felt just the same way you did whenever people would talk about hanging out with their boyfriends. if you think youre ready to have one, then you just need to start looking for some options. im going to go along with the reason that they are scared of rejection, because obviously people think youre pretty. = ) heres what i would do. start talking to guys. be friendly, dont be shy. just be nice, just in case your friend is right, so guys know youre truly not a bitch. be fun and friendly. have a party. tell your friends to bring whoever they know that you dont know, this way, you can meet new people. the reason you havent had a boyfriend yet might just be that the right guy for you hasent come along yet. so have a party, this way you can associate with more guys and they can get to know the real you and get to like you more, and hopefully you can get closer to one guy. sorry this was so long. im always here for you hun.

Well, I'm kinda in the same boat you are, I guess you could say. I've never had that one boyfriend that I fell head over heals for. I've never really had a boyfriend before. I'm probably the shyest person you'll ever meet, and when it comes to boys I just don't feel good enough for them & then in the end they get hurt because I go way TOO slow. Like, just previously I had my actual "FIRST" boyfriend, but I broke up with him - he was moving way too fast for me, and that might sound cheesy but we didn't do ANYTHING at all. I don't know, he just wasn't my type & I can't ever stick to relationships so I'm totally giving up. =[ Sorry, woah life story about me, but I'm just trying to say it's not abnormal for people our age to not have bfs/gfs. =] So in that sense, you're not weird or anything.
You act like yourself. Don't act like somebody else, and don't act anything but yourself, seriously. Don't change yourself for somebody, because they won't be able to take you fully in =] Your best friend seems sorta mean for saying that you might look like a bitch or something, and that's why guys don't come to you. Lol. Sorry that just sounds really mean. You just need to put yourself more out there, and find ONE guy that you could potentially see yourself with. Maybe like a best friend or something? I can't really say what you should do, because I don't know what type of person you are.
But, yeah just put yourself out there, and keep your eye on one specific boy. Talk to him on AIM/in person/on the phone about relationships and he'll ask you, and you'll say you haven't had a boyfriend yet. =] Some guys think it's cute anyways! Just act like yourself and don't try to be anything that you aren't!
