single and not loving it
OK I'm 17 years old, and never had a boyfriend. Sure Ive had people ask me out, but they weren't my type, and it has been about 3 years since a guy has liked me. Recently I have started liking this guy, but he doesn't seem to notice me. How can i get him to like me, let alone notice me? and is it pathetic to have not have a real boyfriend by now?
thanks for your time!

First off, at least you know what guys are your type! Most girls go through high school, figuring out what their type is and sometimes by the time they are in college, they still dont know! So good for you, that you know what your type is. Next, im sure guys have liked you but guys wont always tell a girl when they like her just like a girl wont tell a guy. we have all scared ourselfs into rejection. You cant make anyone "like" you and you shouldnt. You should have someone like you for you, sounds corny, I know but its healthy to have someone like you for you. I didn't have a real boyfriend till my senior year and now when I look back at it, I dont think he was a "real" boyfriend. He was my boyfriend but if I stayed with him, I wouldn't have grown up to the person I am today. No, it is not pathetic. Youre young and should take your time finding someone. They will come sooner or later. You can start talking to him to get him to notice you. If you have a class together, ask him if hw was due, how his weekend was. Small talk really. If you go to school together but no class together, try doing extra curricular activites that you know he will show up to. If he is a sports guy, go to a basketball game, in your team colors with a couple friends and be loud. :) No one will recoginze you unless you talk to them though. Good luck!

My first date was in college. I was 19 years old. Its not pathetic. Honestly, this might sound strange, but maybe its a "compliment" that high school guys haven't been throwing themselves at you. At that age most are only interested in one thing (do I need to say what that thing is) and maybe you give off a vibe that lets guys know you're a little better than that. It feels lonely now. I know. You feel like you're not like the other girls at an age when you just want to be like everyone else. But there is no pressure! You have many years ahead of you to date and find a fantastic guy that is right for you and likes you for who you are. It will happen, I can promise you that. Try not to be so down on yourself. Having a boyfriend doesn't make you a better person. As for this guy you like, if you try things to get him to notice you it will only look desperate, and that's a surefire way to turn a guy off. Just live your life, continue to be yourself. He'll notice you because he likes who you are, not what you do. I know its hard, but it won't always be this way for you, I promise.
