I've never had a real boyfriend nor have I had my first kiss yet. I'm a really attractive, smart girl, and I'm not weird. I just haven't been given the opportunity. I've tried twice to create opportunities for myself to get a boyfriend, but it never worked out. It is not my first priority, so I never really TRIED to get a boyfriend.
However, I was recently talking to someone, and she explained that I cannot be afraid of getting hurt. It's better to get hurt sooner rather than later, and it's really changed my point of view. I know and criticize girls for acting stupidly and thinking that a guy likes her when he doesn't, but they're just blinded. I thought that I could learn from their mistakes, but the truth is, I can only learn by experience. I can't watch someone drive and criticize them when they crash because at least they are even driving the car. They'll learn from the crash, but I never will unless I drive. It's just so easy to see a situation and say, "Wow, that girl is an IDIOT," but one day, that girl will be me.
I do not REALLY like anyone right now, but I'm just concerned that I won't get enough relationship experience in my high school career. I don't want to get hurt, but I know it's unavoidable. Does anyone have any advice for me? I just don't feel like I should be wasting time on stupid horny guys who don't actually care about me now. It seems that MOST (not ALL) guys are that way at my high school.
