why won't any boys ask me out? is there something wrong with me?


Question Posted Friday February 1 2013, 4:50 pm

I'm a 13 year old girl. I am straight. I have some acne (not tht bad), I have long brown hair with blonde highlights, I weigh 103 and I am 5'7. People refer me as independent, cute, awkward, funny, shy, sweet, nice, beautiful, smart, optimistic, cool and fun to be around. I have been on the honor roll since 6th grade(in 8th grade right now). I like dance, track, playing guitar, video games, photography and singing. I am not popular but I am certainly not on the bottom of the list. Why won't boys ask me to be their girlfriend, is there something wrong with me?

What is this? 1913? If you want a boyfriend ask someone out!
Lots of boys are shy and maybe would assume you wouldn't want to go out with them (boys are insecure too). Also if they are 13 they maybe aren't as mature as you yet.
Watching TV and talking to your friends (friends always lie about these things - life lesson!) you would think that everybody had a bf/gf but really at 13, I wouldn't recommend it. Enjoy being single and IF you meet someone you can't imagine not being with then ask them out. If you just want a bf for the sake of appearances then that's rather shallow and not fair on the boy who could have genuine feelings for you.

There's nothing wrong with you. You already know you're a great girl. Guys your age just don't focus much on dating in 8th grade. Girls do, and some guys might ask a girl to be their girlfriend but it's always awkward when you're young.
You're only 13, you have so much time to have a boyfriend. Right now, you're doing fantastic. Boys are really immature when they're in middle school and 9th grade. When you get older, you'll realize it. Then when you're older, you'll end up dating because you're pretty, you have something going for you, you're smart, and you have talents. Right now, most guys could care less.
Just enjoy being 13 right now.

Guys will typically look for girls who are similar to themselves. Think about the guys who are asking girls out at your age. Would it be safe to say that they're mostly very popular, athletic boys?

Yes, there may be an odd couple here and there, but for the most part, wouldn't you agree that the types of guys I described above are the ones that ask girls out?

That being said, you seem like a very academic, mature, scholastically involved and motivated girl. Unfortunately, the academic, mature, scholastically involved and motivated boys are often thinking more about all of the above than about girls - for now.

In high school, their focus will turn more to dating, and that's when you'll start getting asked out. There's nothing wrong with you. Enjoy not dating. Once you've started to date, there's no going back to not-dating, you know? Even if you stop actually going out on dates, your experiences and feelings towards guys totally change.

This sounds a lot like the questions I used to ask on here when I was 13! I'm much older now, and I can tell you that while you might not get a boyfriend now or for a few years, in the long run you won't care. The relationships your friends have now really aren't true love, and they probably won't really concern them five years from now. You also need to know there's absolutely nothing wrong with you! At your age, boys really just ask any girl to be their girlfriend whether they like them or not. Just keep having fun with your friends and in a few years you'll be having tons of fun with nice boys.
