I'm fourteen, and I've never had a boyfriend. I know alot of girls havent yet, but also alot of girls have many boyfriends and are in serious relationships. I'm not at all bad looking, and im not very shy, so i was just wondering how to get the guys to like me? I know its a dumb question. I try to flirt alot, and they flirt back but they never really like me. I have a nice body and I'm athletic. I'm just afraid of going through my highschool years boyfriendless.

People who are in serious relationships at fourteen likely won't last. The chances are small. Besides, you don't want to get in a serious relationship until later on because you have so many years to come before you have to date, get serious and get married and that whole other life that's waiting.
What you should be asking is: How do I get guys to talk to me more? There's no solution or answer to: How can I get a guy to like me?
A lot of girls have boyfriends or flirt a lot because they are loud and get a lot of attention. They talk to the people around them even though they have no idea who it is. That's basically people's ways of making new friends and developing new crushes.
Don't start to question your looks and your body. There are a lot of girls who won't get a boyfriend until later on too. You aren't the only girl in your age range and your grade that doesn't have a boyfriend. Sure, they may have had past boyfriends, but who cares what your past is? If you have to lie to make yourself feel better, then lie. Say "Yes I've had 2 or 3 boyfriends in the past" it's not a big deal.
If you do end up going through highschool without any flings or serious boyfriends, which I seriously doubt that you won't, then people around you aren't going to care or even notice that, and if they do, then are they really worth lidtening to? The only people that will know are your friends, and as friends, they will stand by you and come to you when they have a relationship problem. Plus, you say that you do flirt and the guys flirt back but they all end up not liking you that way. I really don't think that you know that. If you really think a guy is interested, talk to him everyday you can.
