how do i become prettier and get a guy to notice me?
Question Posted Tuesday March 22 2011, 9:11 pm
Well I am a 14 year old girl and I feel like out of my friends I am the ugly one. The guys always talk to them and ask them out but never me. I know I need to be more social but I don't know what to talk about. I need advice on how to make myself prettier and get guys to notice me.

First stop thinking of yourself as the ugly duckling, it is self defeating. You will understand this statement more as I go on.
You are 14 years old, you are just starting to mature and are going through puberty. Your body and yes your facial features will continue to change for the next 4 to 6 years and you mature and you body continues to secrete certain hormones. The hard facts about maturing is we all mature at different ages and rates, hence the term late bloomers. I will tell you that I was a guy who was a late bloomer and I benefited from it buy watching and learning from the guys who matured faster than I did. In other words I learned from their mistakes.
As far as beauty is concerned, there are different types of beauty. There is beauty that is only skin deep with nothing behind it to satisfy the other senses we humans need. Hence the term airhead.
Then their is the beauty that lies just below the skin. This is the person most people are looking for. This person is a conversationalist, nurturing, joyful and just plain fun to be with. This is the type of person most people look for in their future life partner.
Then their is the truly ugly person, this person can have magnificent looks but just below those looks that person is spite full, resentful and truly hateful. This is the person no one really wants to be with. Hence the term, Bitch.
You are 14 years old and still developing. You are today a beautiful person. Just who and what you will turn out to be is your to define. If you focus only on physical beauty you are doing yourself a disservice.
It wasn't that long ago that women were restricted as to what they could become. Today a girl can dream to be an astronaut and grow up to be come one or a pilot for an airline.
Today a girl can grow up to be just about anything they want to be; the are able to do this because they do not think of themselves as just beautiful or ugly. If you limit yourself to these two choices you are doing yourself a grave disservice. Yes I understand the need for a social life and the pressure surrounding having one in school. But life does not begin and end in High school or college. It begins when school ends, hopefully with a college degree.
High school and college are a place to hone your social skills and you will; just set you mind to the fact that you are a beautiful person and you will attract the right kind of boys. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If you feel uncomfortable in your body or the way you look , you don't have to change your self or rge way you look ... I was not so pretty when I was 12-15 i started coming yo my own at about junior year .. I ne'er wore make up till then ... Now I think I'm really pretty ..
The way you brush your hair you can change but don't trow on all kie ds if make up .. Do a very natural make up set up a lil blush skin color lip gloss .. No eye liner may a lil masquera .. They have tutorials on YouTube on make up .. But don't do things different ly once you start getting asked out .. Be more talkative .. My younger sister Is 13 and she is one of ge popular girl and she is her self to tge fullest mad goof ball .. [ chelly's advice column | Ask chelly A Question ]

Don't change yourself for a guy.
You are beautiful just the way you are. You shouldn't change your appearance just for a guy. You are beautiful in your own way out of your friends. Sure, guys may not notice you as much, but you are young. You will learn more and more about love and relationships as you get older, but know this now. No guy is ever worth it if you feel like you must change. A guy that really is into you will accept you just the way you are.
As for feeling ugly, don't feel that way. You just need a self confidence boost. Get a pedicure with friends or have a makeover party. Do what makes you feel pretty. Wear something that makes you feel confident in yourself. I hope I helped! Inbox me anytime if you need anything :) [ romeoandrebecca's advice column | Ask romeoandrebecca A Question ]
