Every time I am in the company of boys my age, 15/16 years old, they never approach me. I am 5ft 9in, have long blonde hair and know that I'm a nice person, and I can say that I am attractive. I don't understand why boys my own age NEVER approach me; I can talk to anyone, whether they're 8 years old or 80 years old. What puzzles me is that boys of 20+ always approach me and chat me up, and I am able to hold a conversation easily. I am not self centred, or stuck up; I am simply confident. It has come to the point where whenever I'm out, or at a party, boys just avoid speaking to me. What do you think is the reason for this? I am so perplexed...
The school jocks may approach you if they know your in their class or school because they are more self confident than the average boy. If your not into the jocks then you are going to have to be the one to approach a boy you may want to get to know better. Expect the boy to be tongue tied at first as he will be somewhat awed that you have approached him. You are going to have to find away to put him at ease. You might want to say something like: "Hi I'm Kathy I've seen you around school and have always wanted to get to know you, your Jim correct." Maybe not those exact words but something like that.
Whatever you do don't dumb yourself down just to meet a boy. That would be disrespectful to yourself and the boy you are wanting to meet. Just be yourself. Once you have broken the ice and the boy sees you not as an unapproachable older women you should be able to build a relationship from there.

kayalark answered Friday December 9 2011, 10:04 pm: The reason older guys come and talk to you is probably because you look older. Also, a reason guys your age may avoid talking to you is because maybe they are intimidated by you. If you look older, they also may think you are older too. But, it is not necessarily a bad thing. This could mean these boys think you are cute and they would like to talk to you but like i said, are intimidated. Just go talk to them. :) hope this helped! please feedback. :) [ kayalark's advice column | Ask kayalark A Question ]
