Is there any way to make me look more feminme?
I have issues with my appearance. I want to look like a GIRL.
I want to feel confident. But I don't think I look like a girl.. Every other girl looks beautiful. To me, I'm not a girl but I'm not even a boy. I have no gender in my eyes?
People have said that short hair fits me perfectly but I don't think my face.. would work with it. I have a boyish features yeah?

- Always have lipgloss- it helps
- Wear something girly- a purse, a shirt with a little lace on it, kitten heels, curly hair

First of all, let me acknowledge that I am old enough to be your father, so rest assured that what I'm saying is not in the context of whether I would date you myself - I'm rather more attracted to women twice your age. :) On the other hand, I'm also a professional photographer who specializes in high school events such as Proms and Homecoming dances, as well as studio portraiture, so I've seen a LOT of girls your age at a time when they're made up to look their best. Therefore, consider the analysis below as a professional one.
I don't see boyish features in your face, to be totally honest. I think your eyes are quite feminine, and the dark (almost black) color gives you a mysterious, smoldering look.
You have very full lips as well, to the point that if you were to wear makeup I would caution you to use a subtle lip color so that they didn't stand out too much. This is also a very feminine trait.
As for your hair... the length in the first picture does indeed work well for you, but it would also work well it it were longer. I wouldn't cut it any shorter than that first picture; the "framing" effect of your hair in the is flattering and you wouldn't want to lose that.
The lighting of the first picture also makes it appear that your hair has highlights. I can't tell if it really does, but that might be something to try. You might also think of using a VERY subtle auburn color, to give it just a hint of red.
Remember, femininity takes many forms. You're not a blonde blue-eyed cheerleader, true, but you do have a sensuous look and - in spite of what you may think - very deep and very womanly eyes. The raw material is there, and I suspect that as you progress through your teen years, the female in you will come through more and more.
As for practical advice: try going to a professional stylist, who can do your hair and makeup for you, and give you some tips. The makeup won't make you more feminine, but it might give you the ability to see yourself that way, and that's the key.

I think the best choice for you is probably growing your hair out if you really feel you don't look good with short hair. i used to think the same thing actually but now my hair's longer and i feel better about it. but anyway, i actually think you're pretty, and so do other people apparently but none of that matters if you don't believe it (i've learned).
ANYWAY! suggestions; Layer-y girly-ness, Extensions. extensions make everyone look girly [ Ahnee's advice column | Ask Ahnee A Question ]
