I want a boyfriend, but I don't think anyone likes me.
Question Posted Monday May 6 2013, 1:15 am
I am a 14 year old girl who desperately wants someone to love. Yes, I know that this age, kids aren't really serious about it. I have been bullied in the past since 5th grade. I wasn't exactly the sweetheart either, but I have changed. I'm known as the weird girl. I have only one friend that sometimes, I'm not sure I can trust. I have achnea badly sometimes and I refuse to wear make-up. I believe that it doesn't really do anything anyway. Could someone please give me some advice?
So, expand your friends. Find new friends, new guys friends. And eventually one may end up having feelings for you or you might have feelings for them.
You can always fix acne with face wash and if it doesn't work, go see a dermatologist.
All the guys I ever dated were my friends at first.
Just don't go looking for a boyfriend when you choose friends. Hang out with them and enjoy yourself and then your feelings might start changing.
It'll take time but it'll happen. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

Find guys for now who are willing to be just friends who are males, not the boyfriend dating type. That will develope naturally in the friendship stage. I will bet there are also some guys who are not popular either. Often, it can be the odd guy out, the computer nerd types that end up making the best boyfriends, lovers and husbands. My husband admits to hanging with the nerd crowd when young.
Acne isn't the prettiest thing to look at, many teens have some acne at some point during their teen years, but it's part of growing up. If it gets extreme, you may want to see a dermatologist.
It will be hard to get the others to see past that to the real you inside. I raised my daughters to look past the outside. As a result, tho they were petite, most their girlfriends were overweight, heavy acne or unpopular for some other reason and they made the best friends ever. You may have to wait for the kids to 'grow up' a bit. But its worth a try to start paying attention to see if there's any nerd group guys and befriend them all. All guys want a chance to get to know a girl. Start as friends..it's low pressure for both of you. Best of luck to you dear [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
