Please don't answer this is you're going to be really mean and insensetive.
Lately I've felt so lonely, and I know I do not need a boy to make me happy, it just sucks because its my nature to want to love someone, and be loved back. All my friends seem to be in a relationship, and I know you dont need to be, especially in highschool since they normally dont last, but that still doesnt change how I feel about it.
How am I supposed to put myself out there?
I really dont have a lot of guy friends..
please help?

Be smiley; be happy; let yourself be noticed (but don't be obnoxious!) However, don't act like you desperately want a boyfriend. Here's how your outlook should be: "Sure a boyfriend would be nice. But being single is pretty great too."
Think about it like that, even if you don't find it to be a true statement.
Never let go of your standards and go out with someone merely because he likes you and asks you out. It's good to be choosy in love. Also, never change yourself so someone will like you.
Take small steps. If you're in a group with a guy in a class, talk to him. Ask him about class, express a feeling you think he might share: "That test was so hard! I'm scared." Ask him for help even if you don't need it. That sort of thing.
And me, i don't have very many guy friends either. Just a few here and there. The key to making those friends, though, is talking to them.
And, if there's just a small, small feeling you have that someone you like, likes you back... they probably do! I have heard that many times and it might just be true. Take this, for instance.
There is this guy in my class, who I've only talked to maybe 10 times, ever, in the past year.
Well... I added him on myspace and he commented me, complimenting me on my choice of music-- he said one of my bands listed (of perhaps 15) is his favorite band. Of course, that doesn't seem like a big deal, but to me it was. I mean, a random post like that... who knows what it means?
So basically the point of that story is that you should get a myspace or facebook, if you don't already have one. Add some guys you like, and just comment them: "Hey! What's up?" Who knows what might happen from there? [ xwishonstarsx's advice column | Ask xwishonstarsx A Question ]

But f you want to put yourself out there then maybe you could just go up to a guy in your class that you think is cute or something and just start a conversation with them. or if you want to start slow then just ask them if you can borrow a pencil from them or somthing just so they can notice you and talk to you a little more. hopefuly this is what your looking for.
