16/F
So.. I havent ever had a boyfriend.
Ever, never been kissed.
I just really want a boyfriend.
I know everyone says, eventually I will find someone, and that I'm young.
Because there are a TON of people that have boyfriends and girlfriends at my age.
I've just been thinking, what is wrong with me?
I look decent, I care about people, I'm creative and artsy. Why cant I find someone?
Is it because my standards are too high?
I dont want to make them too low.
Has anyone ever felt like this?
And - I am quite happy.
I dont need a guy to make me happy,
its never healthy to need,
but to want is another thing.
So whats up?
[thoughtful answers please,
not stubborn arrogant cocky ones.]
Just keep being yourself and keep it confident. It's proven that the majority of people are attracted to confidence in their partner.
Anyway, just keep going to a lot of social events where you can meet new boys. If the boys around you aren't cutting it, don't try to make it work with them. Meet new ones! If you like music, go to shows. That's a great way to meet people. Go to as many parties and get togethers as possible. Ask your friends to introduce you to new friends, you don't even have to tell them that your intentions are to find a boy.

A lot of people think when they don't have a boyfriend, or haven't had their first kiss yet that there is something wrong with them. And sweetie, that is not the case at all. I'm sure you're a wonderful and beautiful girl, inside and out. Sometimes it just takes longer for some people to get their first boyfriend/first kiss. It has nothing to do with you. It's just how everything is planned out.
Lots of people your age haven't had their first boyfriend/first kiss yet, either. Don't think you're the only one, because you aren't. Everyone takes time for something like this to happen. Some get their first boyfriend when they're 12; others when they're 16 and some even only have their first boyfriend when they're 18-30. It just depends on the person and if they're ready or not. It doesn't really matter if you didn't have your first boyfriend, yet. You're only 16, hun. You have tons of time for boyfriends, believe me. But, I promise you in time, you'll find that special guy. You just have to give it some time. For now, enjoy being a teenage girl and having fun with your friends; you only live once. [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

Never had a boyfriend, never been kissed and I'm turning 16 in July.
This is actually normal for alot of girls out there, some aren't even kissed until they're 18 or so, so don't feel like something's wrong with you.
Sometimes the right good guys don't come along for awhile, and believe me, it'll be worth the wait.
Alot of guys out there are jerks and immature anyway whenever they're teenagers so whenever you do meet someone, hopefully they'll be acting more their age anyways and you'll have a great time with thtem and whatnot.
And plus, there's so many girls out there are sorry to say, slutty or something and of course, guys are going to be more attracted to them.
( I'm not saying ALL girls are, just some )
And so it might not be you,
it's just the guy.
You and his personality might not mesh well together, or maybe the guy's intimidated by YOU,
and think YOU wouldn't ever want to date him at all.
I just think of it this way ; whenever a guy DOES come along and I really like him and he becomes my boyfriend, our first kiss'll be really great and I'll remember it and it'll be nice.
I hope I helped. [ MelLeDisko's advice column | Ask MelLeDisko A Question ]
