I've never had a boyfriend befor. Whenever im upset i just want one so bad because i want the feeling someone loves me and that there is someone there i can talk to. I think im pretty and so do my friends but im a little chuby. Im blonde,tall,pretty eyes, and im very nice. The only problem is that im really shy. I try to be outgoing but i care to much about what people think. How do i get over that? How do i get a b/f? Thanks to everyone that answers my question and ill rate high for good answers.

First - wear what you like, dont think 'oh thats nice, but i dont think i would ever have the corage to wear it because its quite bright/skimpy/unusual' - dont care about what other people think, just wear that top/skirt ... whatver .... that you like.
It might be hard at first to not care what anyone thinks, but just wear what you like, go out and try not to think about what anyone else is thinking, just think 'i really like this top, its so cool that i bought it'.
Also, to seem more outgoing you need to wear maybe, um, sexier clothes, go out with either - a mini skirt, crop top, backless top, boob tube or a cleavege-flashing top, you might think these sound slutty but if you wear, say, a mini skirt with a tank top and a jacket it wont look slutty. If you're going out somewhere (like to a party) then i think its ok to wear a boob tube/backless top with a mini skirt, but not a crop top with a mini skirt. But whatever, its bst t just wear one of those items of clothing all the time.
Guys like confident girls so at first, just fake it, go out of the house while thinking to yourself 'im gorgeous and all the guys love me' cos you will start to believe it and that will make you more confident.
At school/college/uni if anyones having a light convo (say about last nights tv, the school disco or whether orlando or johnny is cuter) then join in.
This should make you seem more confident, sexy and outgoing.
Hope i helped,

VERy unshy. if you want to be more outgoing, start with what you say. try talking a bit more, or saying things a tad daring. i don't know if you are below/above this, but here is an example:
you normaly would say: oh dear. i lost my book.
outgoing person says: crap! i lost my book.
crap is a pretty small cuss word, but it's more outgoing and bold than oh dear. that can also work with what you wear. if you wear conservative clothing, try wearing tighter clothes, or shirts that show a wee bit 'o' tummy.
trying not to care what people think. that is one problem girlfriend that most in this world face. and here is all i can say to help you: just pretend. if you want to wear a flashy, sexy top but you are afraid/you know that people will make fun of you or question you about it, pretend they won't. when you walk out of the house, wear the top and wear it proud. and if you are questioned, get right in there and defend yourself:
questioner: why are you wearing that?
you: because i want to. i think it's cute!
how do you get a b/f? this is gonna sound cheesey-BE YOURSELF. if no one at your school/work place seems to be interested in you, than that's their problem. don't change you just so you can get a b/f. it's not worth it. a great guy will come along eventualy, and you will get him no problem. just wait. and don't try to hard. that really will get you no where. ;-)
