When I was younger I didn't know what love was so I just dated because...well I really don't know. I've only had 3 bf's. (I'm a girl) & that was between the ages of 8-13. At 13 I got a reality check and figured out what love was. Since then I have not found anyone personally appealing which pretty much means I haven't had a crush on anyone in 3 years. Sure I think some people are visually attractive but that's not a crush. I'm sick of being lonely. To the point that I might be depressed. What do I do???

If someone is visually attractive to you, or just an interesting person, give them a chance. I know you may read on here or hear friends saying how much in love they are with some guy. The reality is they should not really be tying themselves to any one person at your age.
So my advice is to relax and stop worrying about it.
It will happen. Take time to get to know they guys you meet. As another suggested be friends first. No
need to be lonely! You just don't have to be madly
in love with someone to enjoy their company. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Then the same thing will happen at 18, then again at 22, and again at 25, and on and on, for a long time. Just wait it out, the right person will come along.

It's great that you see the difference; a lot of people don't. That being said, emotional connections don't just happen overnight. You are NEVER going to meet a guy and feel connected to him right away. You have to get to know people in order to really know them. Try making guy FRIENDS and see what happens from there. And I don't mean casual guy friends. Try making BEST guy friends. [ scootermclisle's advice column | Ask scootermclisle A Question ]
