This is my billionth question, so... I don't get much advice
Question Posted Friday June 15 2007, 9:17 pm
I really want to ask a guy out. I know a few guys, but the problem is... Nobody will be caught dead dating me. If a guy is dating me, he'll be taunted until he brakes up with me. I'm not a geek or anything. I wear glasses, but they actually make me look better than when I don't have glasses on. I don't act like a geek either. I act ok. a little weird, but ok. I've only dated three guys. 1, hurt me physically. 2, was really annoying and was checking other girls out. 3, dated me for three days and broke up with me because he never got to see me.(He goes to another skool across the state)I don't think I'm ugly, or stupid. I'm confident in stuff like that, but i don't know why guys won't date me. My one friend says it's because I don't like/wear make up and dresses/skirts and well... girly stuff. I don't like that stuff because I'm a tomboy, but i still like dating. I mean sure my first experience was bad, but still. I need advice on how to date and who to date.

Being a tomboy can have benefits. You can easily make lots of guy friends. Tomboys can relate to guys. That doesn't make them any closer to being a man then any other girl.
Having lots of guy friends means lots of guys who you are comfortable with, and lot of guys who could be potential boyfriends that you would be comfortable dating since you are already familiar with them. Friends are people you can trust. If you can trust these guy friends, you should be able to trust them if they become boyfriends. Trust can really make or break a relationship.
So maybe a lot of guys like feminine girls. Just because you're a tomboy doesn't mean you're not feminine. Most tomboys aren't like...manly. Being feminine has lots of parts to it. Not just fashion, make up, purses, gossip, or other stereotypical girly things. These things don't really separate girls from boys. I mean, these things weren't always in existence. Girls and boys are just naturally different.

You're probably a pretty, confident girl now.. you just need to find a boy who will see that in you and love you for it. The boys you've dated in the past seem like pretty bad expeirences, but that doesn't mean all boys are like it. Sure, you could change how you look and act to the "norm" of what boys may like, but then you're not really being yourself. You should love yourself for who you are whether boys like it or not. A boy will eventually come around for you.. but just don't rush into it and find a bad one who is going to treat you poorly. Good luck :] [ raychullx's advice column | Ask raychullx A Question ]
