im 14 and never had boyfriend. most of my friends have. am I just a loser? I dont mind it much im happy and everything but usually when people find out their just like "OMG YOU NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND?!" and it just makes me feel pretty dumb. i like this one boy but I know I dont have a chance with him because im not exactly pretty.
When you are younger and have a boyfriend it is pointless alot of the time, because you are either too shy to talk to the guy, or vice-versa, or he is immature and doesnt understand you.
As for the boy you like, try getting to know him as a friend first. He may decide that he likes you, and could end up being yoru first boyfriend. [ laltmeyer's advice column | Ask laltmeyer A Question ]
My first boyfriend was in 7th grade, and let me tell you...it was a waste of time! Most 7th graders dont know what it takes to have a good relationship.
Don't worry the right boy will come along...you have plenty of time to find one. And as to those people who tease you, dont listen to them! You dont need a boyfriend to function.
And about not having a chance with the guy...how would you know? Every guy likes different girls. Just because you dont think you're pretty doesnt mean he wont.

If you like htis boy well then tell him how you feel, etc. You dont have to be pretty or ugly, etc to like someone or for them to like you back. Good luck.

kittygurl90 answered Friday November 17 2006, 4:19 pm: I wouldnt worry about it, you'll find the perfect guy someday. I mean, seriously, how many high school sweethearts actually last until they get married? hardly any. Im almost 16, and ive never had a boyfriend, and im completely okay with that. Im extremely happy, and i know its king of embarrasing when someone finds out youve never had a boyfriend, but its better than haveing like a new one every month, and getting a reputation for ALWAYS having a boyfriend. hope this makes some sense. good luck.

MissBonne answered Friday November 17 2006, 12:43 pm: So you've been living life 14 years without a boyfriend? What, you're supposed to be dating since you were - ten?!
Good for you, stay single.
You are not a loser. You are not the only 14 year old out there without a boyfriend.
Usually, my rebuttal to that is something along the lines that boyfriends take too much time and you love living the single life.
As for prettiness and confidence with boys, take it one day at a time. When you do things you like and you're good at - you shine. People always notice that and eventually someone will ask you out. [ MissBonne's advice column | Ask MissBonne A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Friday November 17 2006, 12:32 pm: When people say that they aren't picking on you or trying to make you feel bad. They are complimenting you. It's nothing against you or your choices. They are very surprised that you've never had a boyfriend. Even though you say you're not pretty, I'll bet you are and I'd even say that you're smart and have a great personality too. You must, or those people wouldn't be surprised at all.
When people used to say that to me, I would take it the same way you are. I'd be embarassed and try to defend myself. After awhile, though, I realized what people meant when they said it. It made me feel really good about myself from then on and confident that someday I would get a boyfriend. Sure enough, I did. It took 18 and a half years, but I am glad I waited. I missed out on all the drama of high school relationships and landed myself in a very stable relationship with a really great guy.
People will say a lot of things. Try not to take it so much to heart. They really don't mean anything by it. They're being kind of ignorant. Just because someone is attractive and smart doesn't mean they're easy and it doesn't mean that they wouldn't be completely happy single. If you're happy, that is all that matters. Don't worry about what other people think. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]
sara1yo answered Friday November 17 2006, 11:56 am: At 14 I had a boyfriend, but truthfully I kinda with I didn't. Because thats the time when you just start to live your life the way you want. Dont let it get to you when people say OMG YOU NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND?! just say yeah I havent and I'm happy and thats all the matters. Because at the end of the day all that matters is how you feel about yourself and your life. And most of the time you feel a lot better when you decide things for yourself and do them the way you want to do them. Also, every girl is pretty in her own way. NEVER EVER let someone tell you different. If you dont think you're pretty then he probably wont think that either. Because they say the best thing a girl can have is confidence. So have some confidence in yourself and just talk to him and get to know him. In the end it could work out your way, and maybe not. But everything happens for a reason. So all you have to do is take the good with the bad and be happy when you're sad. Because like they say.. everyone minute you spend mad is 60 seconds of happiness you'll never get back.
happychicka answered Friday November 17 2006, 9:09 am: you are not a loser if you have never had a boyfriend! If your happy than thats great, and thats all that really matters. So it doesn't matter if people go "omg! youve never had a bf!" because its your life not theres and you get to choose how to live it. Hope I helped = ) [ happychicka's advice column | Ask happychicka A Question ]
PANiCxATxTHExDiSCO answered Friday November 17 2006, 6:47 am: Yeah, I've never had a boyfriend either.
No, you aren't a loser.
If they freak out that much when they say you've never had a boyfriend, there's probably a very good reason for that. I'm sure you are a beautiful person inside and out.
Just go for it with the boy. Write him a note and ask him out or ask him out in person. Even though it might be kind of akward and make you nervous, in person is way better. More people say yes when they're asked out in person.
Not everyone goes out with someone for looks. Most normal guys who aren't morons don't care as long as the person is average looking.
queenhearts answered Friday November 17 2006, 1:22 am: People are probably surprised because they find you to be a great person with a good personality and looks.
It's much happier to be without a boy. Haha. Believeee me.
Not exactly pretty? But everyone's pretty! If someone doesn't think you're pretty it's because they don't understand that everyone looks good in their own way.
Like some girls have these big beautiful eyes. Or small lips. A feature that enhances their face. Everyone looks good. Some guys are just blind and they just want someone that looks like one of those maked up eating disorder models. [No no girl at their age is really like that]
MelLeDisko answered Friday November 17 2006, 12:52 am: Alot of people haven't had boyfriends at this age. Trust me, if this was a few years back, everybody'd be in the same boat as you. I know I'm 15 and everything, but younger people for some reason are trying to seem older and there's kids dating who are like, 10 years old. I think it's nuts, so there's nothing to be pressured about or anytthing. You're not a loser, you're fine. I find it funny how everyone's trying to grow up so fast.
I'm 15, never been kissed, have had boyfriends yes, like three each for a week. So my "boyfriend records" aren't that wonderful either. I get joked about with my friends sometimes and I laugh, but obviously it bugs me. But I just think,"Well, when it all happens for me, it's going to be great and not wasted like they did just to get it over with or to say they have someone."
You're young. Live life and enjoy it and have a great time, boyfriend or none. The world isn't going to end if you have one, but try meeting and talking to more guys. Maybe have big hangouts and have your friends invite their guy friends or have them bring their boyfriend who can bring their guy friend along to have fun too.
And like I said, when one'll come along, he'll come along. But don't even think there's something wrong with you, or that you're a loser.
H0LDM3CL0S3 answered Friday November 17 2006, 12:46 am: Alot of people don't have boyfriends at the age of 14. I'm 14 and plenty of my friends have never really had a boyfriend. Totally normal. If you like the guy it's worth a shot with him, you never know what could really happen. And there's a match for everyone so don't cut yourself short just because you're "not exactly pretty" .. because not everyone goes for looks. Most guys at the age of 14 do however, just let them grow up and figure it out on thier own that looks aren't everything.
