Chase, or be caught?
17/f
To begin, I don`t need a boyfriend - most times I don`t even want one. However, sometimes there`s just those summer nights when I`m sitting down at the beach when I wish I had someone to share it with. I think I`d make an awesome girlfriend if I had the chance.
I have five guys (that I know of) who say they like me. I rarely talk to them, but all of a sudden they`re all wanting to get to know me. Out of the mix, there is one guy who is someone that I`d potentially like to get to know.
Here`s the catch. I like a guy who I`ve ever only spoken to once.. on facebook. I know, right? Ridiculous. He went to my school for eight months but never got to know anyone other than his sports teammates. Now he is living quite far away again. I always tried to get his attention, but he is going to be a professional sports player so I figured a ton of girls would be after him. He`s smart, athletic, & good looking. Once I caught him reading shakespeare under the table in science when I walked past his class. I`m serious! He seems so interesting.
Anyways, he doesn`t come back for another two months (he only lives here during the sports season). I`d really like to have someone to go to the beach with me now, but I don`t think I could commit myself to anyone while knowing the sports guy is coming back.
Do I just live another two months of my life as I have for years? I`m perfectly fine without anyone, but wouldn`t that just add to the excitement of summer if I had someone? I`m not entirely sure if I`d ever have anything happen with the sports guy. Most people would say he`s too impossibly perfect, but I like a challenge. Like I said, I`d make a great girlfriend, I think.
Sorry for the length of this question, but I thought some background would help to clarify the situation. What might you do if you were in my situation? Thanks so much, your help is greatly appreciated!

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
date non-exclusively, and then when you and a guy are ready to commit you move it up a notch. if that still feels like more than you want to deal with, grab a group of friends and have a beach bbq...or wherever the allocated bbq pit closest to the beach is. that way you can still hang with whichever guy(s) you want.

Understood!
You are only looking for a male friend to spend some time with. Nothing is wrong with that at all. If there are 5 guys that like you, chose one that you think you may have more in common with and ask if he would like to hang out sometimes, as a friend only with no intent of anything else right now. Upon choosing the one guy you befriend, you may grow to like him more and forget about stud sports guy. "smile" but, if you don't and still have an interest in him, wait until he gets back and let him know you are interested in him - hell, since the other guy will be a friend ONLY he could give you some advice from a male's point of view and even encourage you. He could even get a girlfriend so that you and her become cool and double date with sports guy.
Also: you are cool with being alone but that's not what you really want because you reiterate it too much. "smile" and there is nothing wrong with desiring male companionship, It's all about how you carry yourself girl! have fun.
