Ok honestly I don't care if I sound desperate but here it goes...
I HAVEN'T HAD A REAL BOYFRIEND....EVER! And practically everyone I know does! One of my cousins is married, one of my cousins has a boyfriend, the whole school (almost) is going out with SOMEBODY! I'm 13/f
I'm so sick of being single it bothers me so much. Everytime I even get close to having a boyfriend they either transfer or fall for some other girl. I'm not ugly-BELIEVE ME! I get a lot of compliments about that stuff...
I've heard the saying when girls are so beautiful that the guys just settle for something less because they're afraid of rejection but...I don't really think that's the case all the time because I've been asked out before...
BY PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN LIKE THAT ARE YOUNGER THAN ME THAT I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE THAT FOLLOW ME OUT OF NOWHERE IN PUBLIC!
How am I ever supposed to get a boyfriend?
I'm not mean
I'm not aggressive
Could it be the people I'm hanging out with?
I'm not loud
I'm not quiet
I'm not weird in a bad way..I just don't get what's wrong with me.
My mom is always telling me "Whoa, you're certainly not going to be one of those girls stuck home on a saturday night in highschool once you get older...but what if i am?
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't want to be boyfriendless forever. I know I probably won't but it's killing my self esteem!

SilentOne answered Saturday February 17 2007, 4:26 am: I might be the oddity, but seriously, 13 is not a bad age not to have had a gf/bf yet. I didn't have one until I was 18. Maybe it would make it seem a little less important if you figured out why you want one. What is a "boyfriend" to you? Why do you need one to have good self-esteem? If I had to rely on another person to feel good about myself, I would be really worried.
Being too "needy", or too "fast" is a no-no though. If you act as if you're too keen to have a boyfriend, or you take relationships too fast, lots of people will kind of back up and go "whoa, hey wait slow down a bit" and get freaked out by it. Same thing if you call them too often, or act as if you NEED them too much - Clingy=bad!
Hope something in there helps, even if it just lets you know you're normal.

runawayxlove answered Friday February 16 2007, 5:20 pm: hey, well believe me having a boyfriend isnt everything. sure it makes you feel good about yourself and being loved feels wonderful, but having bestfriends is way more beneficial. you cant find love. true love will come to you when you least expect it. some girls get there first boyfriend at age 14, but then some get it at 19. you just have to wait it out. it will come for you, believe me.
