okay this might get long.
i wear glasses and everyday i wear my curly hair into a ponytail.
i have two friends i'd always hang out with: luisa and jen
so here's how it goes
the boys in my english class (it's after lunch) always talk to luisa and jen. friday a boy named chad tried to 'kidnap' luisa, and earlier that week he was totally hitting on jen. he never like bothers with me - nobody does. i don't wear makeup and i hate fitting in.. should i start being different to be noticed? i've never had a boyfriend in reallife because guys never noticed me - what should i do?
runawayxlove answered Saturday January 13 2007, 9:56 pm: hey, okay well DONT EVER CHANGE FOR ANYONE! not even guys. if they dont see whats good in you then thats there loss. in time there will be a guy that likes you for you and not the makeup you wear or the clothes you buy. but if your really feeling insecure about it then maybe make some small changes, nothing drastic tho. examples: getting your eyebrows done, just putting on mascara for makeup, etc. [ runawayxlove's advice column | Ask runawayxlove A Question ]
bernie_gabrielle answered Saturday January 13 2007, 9:52 pm: If you want attention from guys, you should try to look pretty. Get contacts, do your hair, wear some makeup. Trust me. It works. I know because I used to be like you. In 8th grade, my principal (and I go to a Jewish school) said "You're very pretty, but you don't show it. You should wear nicer clothes and maybe try some makeup." From then on, my life changed. [ bernie_gabrielle's advice column | Ask bernie_gabrielle A Question ]
sis321 answered Saturday January 13 2007, 8:54 pm: The decision is up to you but my advice is to try a little makeup and different trends and try contact lenses
But my real advice to you is if he cannot see you for what is on the inside then ask yourself is he relly the boy for me?Ask do I want a boyfriend who only cares about looks?ask these to yourself and whatever you decide is totally up to you but really he aint worth it I been there and done that and aint going back I also wear glasses and moved to contacs,tried makeup,and new outfits and it helped so trust me it will work out fine
and try different hairstyles too.

you shouldn't have to be different, wear make-up or anything to be noticed by a guy!!!
People should accept you for you!! theres no point being someone your not just to win a guy!!
There will be a guy waiting around the corner... having a boyfriend isn't everything... try doing different hair styles... you also shouldn't be descriminated because you wear glasses...
cutie_brunette82 answered Saturday January 13 2007, 8:16 pm: if you really want to b noticed, just put on a little tiny shade of makeup at first, then you can start to put more on as you progress. you can't like pack your face with makeup the first time you start wearing it becus people will know your tryin to fit in and puttin a lot of effort, and thatz not really cool. but anyway, then just start talkin to guys you find things in common with and pretty soon, you will be popular.

If it really matters to you, try wearing your hair down once in a while and maybe a little eyeshadow here and there.
Just remember, it's the inside beauty that counts.
mycalina answered Saturday January 13 2007, 8:12 pm: I had the same problem. Still do some of the time. But not "fitting in" doesn't mean you have to fade out either. I stand out a lot, just because I wear unusual clothes. But guys aren't really a problem. If you pick one, and start small, like making friends, but not too pushy, just be there when he needs someone, and work your way up. You might make some progress.
