I'm 17/f. I'm about 5'11". I've never been kissed, been on a date or had a boyfriend. Not to sound arrogant or anything but I am pretty. I have a great personality. I feel like I'm the only girl my age who hasn't been kissed, etc. I'm afraid I won't experience anything till college. Kinda like Felicity (old t.v. show). It makes me really sad, especially when watching romance movies. Any advice?

Maybe you could ask one of your friends to set you up on a date. It may not lead to that elusive first kiss, but once the word gets around that you're not unapproachable (and that may be how the poor, short boys see you) you could find yourself with some more offers. One of them will eventually click. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
loves2shop86 answered Monday July 24 2006, 10:57 pm: hey!
well ok first of all, there is this little quote that i really like, so i might as well share it with you: "a girl that is easily kissed, isn't worth kissing."
this is soo true. sure guys like to hang around easy girls just so that they can get some action without the commitment, but in the long run, no guy is going to look for an easy girl to be in a relationship with. you really have nothing to worry about. i didn't get my first kiss until i was 16, and my sister and 2 best friends didn't get theirs until they were 18! they are all very good looking, but they also have self respect for their own selves and don't throw themselves at the first guy they meet.
for some reason, it seems like everyone today is 13 and running around having sex with different boys every night. i'm sorry but that is soo ridiculous and unhealthy. 17 is young... don't let those little 13 year old, immature girls fool you and make you think otherwise. you have sooo much time left to live, and so many boys to kiss. when you finally find the right boy and kiss him, it will be a special kiss. the fact that it's something that you are WAITING for will make it that much better when you finally get it! and trust me, you will get it sooner or later... probably when you least expect it!
so don't stress over it, and don't pay attention to what people say. after all, if you don't kiss anyone people will talk about it, and if you kiss someone people will talk about it. basically, people will always have something bad to say about everything, so just learn to ignore it! it's your life, and whatever is supposed to happen will happen. it just takes time. so try not to overthink it too much and don't stress. :) you'll get your kiss before you know it! haha just enjoy yourself for now, because trust me... kisses lead to boyfriends, and boyfriends usually lead to problems! lol let me know if you need more help! :) [ loves2shop86's advice column | Ask loves2shop86 A Question ]
eternitysofbliss answered Monday July 24 2006, 10:11 pm: Go to the movies or beach with your friends. Play a game where you see how many guys you can kiss in one night. Go around to as many guys as you see and talk to them and try to get a kiss. Viola you've been kissed. Next, just make yourself available to guys. Go out with mixed parties and what not.

xomichelle891xo answered Monday July 24 2006, 9:46 pm: Have you ever heard the saying,
"Girls are like the apples on the tree. The best ones are at the top of the tree but sometimes guys are too afraid to climb up to the top because theyre afraid theyre going to get hurt or the ones at the top are TOO good for them. So, they take the rotton apples on the ground because theyre safe to get..easy to reach."
Ha, sorry that quote just summed up everything I had to tell you. If guys around you arent seeing that youre pretty which Im sure you are and have a good personality then theyre not worth your time! Sometimes its also good to wait because Ive seen friends do things with guys and regret it. Your first kiss should be meaningful with someone you really LOVE, not a drunken hook up or a forced thing. You shouldnt kiss someone or go out with someone just because everyone else is. Wait till the time is right! And until then flirt it up. Enjoy being single because after all, you dont need a guy to make you happy. I know..cliche. But, its true. There are way more important things like just being a teenager which being with a guy can take away from, friends, family, hobbies, talents, dreams, goals, ambitions. Im 14 and Ive done NOTHING and I dont think Im ugly..but it depends on the guy. Im sure youre just the apple on the top of the tree!
sassysara answered Monday July 24 2006, 9:26 pm: I had the same problem in highschool (I am 5'10") and alot of guys are intimidated by the height thing. You won't have to wait until college, most boys are having their final growth spurt around now, also maybe your "too" pretty so guys tend to assume that you have guys banging down your door. Try to be a little more approachable, by joking around with guys etc.
Guys are oddddd creatures, but don't worry it'll happen for you!! Also ask your friends for suggestions, you never know they may see something you don't.
orphans answered Monday July 24 2006, 9:22 pm: well shoot wanna date? hahaha
but seriously. there's nothing wrong with that. i didn't get my first kiss til i was about 17. granted i'm one ugly mug looks don't matter in these things it's about going out and finding someone. i mean you gotta go out, talk to people, not be afraid to tell em about youtself and just wing it. and beyond that there's no advice to give. everyone is different but you gotta present yourself as best you can as who you are. otherwice you're gonna be worse than felicity, you're gonna be like a nun.

DefinedEyes answered Monday July 24 2006, 9:22 pm: Well you have the confidence and the looks,
focus more on yourself, not on getting guys.
And remember just because your seventeen and havent been kissed yet, its not a big deal. There are tons of other people who are feeling the same way you do!
Sometimes people dont get boyfriends or go on dates until college, when the guys have matured ;)
Dont worry about, I know how you feel about watching romantic movies and craving to have someone :( like the notebook! omg that movie makes me feel so pathetic sometimes! But yeah your not alone in feeling the way you do.
hang in there :) [ DefinedEyes's advice column | Ask DefinedEyes A Question ]
Exquisitechick answered Monday July 24 2006, 9:22 pm: Youre 17, you probably have a car.Why dont you go out with friends and if you see a hot guy make the move.
Remember to give eye contact and smile a lot. Then he will probably come over to you. If he doesnt, then keep doing the eye contact/smiling thing and after a while go over to him and start a convo.
