Not having a boyfriend

<p>how do all you females feel about not having a boyfriend. can you not find one or do you just choose to stay single? i dunno it kind of makes me sad when it comes time to high school dances that i dont have one :(</p>

<p>If you actually go out of your way and let guys know you like them, they'll go out with you.
Most guys are pigs, and may not like you, but will go out with you because they think it gives them the right to try things with you. I'm pretty sure if you flirt, 99% of the time, the guy will go out with you or at least flirt back.</p>

<p>staying single. I don't know why, but I'm just not attracted to the ones "available" to me (not that they're ugly) and the ones that are good-looking the girls are always all over (ew). I never attend any dances, and I'm not planning to attend the prom. There's so many better things to do, and I'm saving having relationships for later. </p>

<p>Oh, and I don't understand what people do when they "flirt". Am I the only one with this problem? -_-;</p>

<p>My friend Amy showed me this site called myjellybean.com if you look for flirting tips(it's somewhere in there) you'll get the idea, I mean it has like a million (some of them are pretty basic, though). Anyway, If you can't find it (or don't bother), just... tease them, or tell them sweet things, say their name a lot. </p>

<p>Usually, If you feel any sort of connection, people will assume you're flirting. It's ovbious to the people around you and to the guy you're flirting with(unless he's a total unexperiance, never done anything with girls type) even if it's not ovbious to you. Plus, guys love attention, os basically in my opinion anything goes...</p>

<p>I don't care...I don't want a boyfriend. I'm not a boy-hater, and if you have a boyfriend I don't think it means you're boy-crazy...I just don't think any of the guys in high school are boyfriendable. The few people I know whom I would date are people whom I could always date later, when I have time for that. Right now I'm just too busy and focused on finding out who I am (and where I'm going to college!)</p>

<p>I'm kind of glad I don't have a boyfriend because I can concentrate on school more. No distraction from him and no drama!</p>

<p>Dont worry about it OP. I went through a long time where I felt like there was no one out there for me. Crazy as it is, because of this website I now have a girlfriend. We've been going out for almost two months now. Youll find someone soon.</p>

<p>Right,MallomarCookie, I bet deep down your desperatley romantic and very lonley:) Just kidding... Anyways, Usually the best boyfriends for someone who can't find Boyfriendalbe guys are guys who are like your best friends anyways, and want to take it further...</p>

<p>Oh, and just to comment, not all of us are shallow pigs who just want sex. Some (including myself) actually want a real relationship, and dont autoreject people just because they arent a model.</p>

<p>After a failed relationship this summer, I've decided that I'll only date a guy who's willing to give his all for me, that is worth the effort I'd put in. When that perfect (or near-perfect) guy comes along, then I'll think about having a relationship. But for now, none for me. High school boys are mostly too immature to hold a relationship.</p>

<p>SorryJpod, but I think like 9 out of 10 guys would have sex with a girl they really don't care about.</p>

<p>I'm content being boyfriend-less (never had one yet, and I'm in college!). I wouldn't go so far to say I'm HAPPY about it, but I'm still content.</p>

<p>I think, most people who REALLY want a boyfriend can get one (unless you smell or something ;) ), because these people will take anyone they can find. I, on the other hand, won't just settle for anyone, and am willing to wait until I find someone who's right for me. I'm not saying the guy needs to be perfect, or that the first guy I date needs to be the guy I'm going to marry. But I'm not going to settle.</p>

<p>Still, I can't help wishing I had one sometimes...</p>

<p>OP: For high school dances, it's still fun to go with friends. That's what I did. I'm not going to lie, at the time I wished I had a date. But I did end up having a great time.</p>

<p>I'm one of 51 students in the class of '07, girls outnumber boys by far, I won't date younger guys, and even if I did there's no one at my school that I'm even remotely attracted to. My last crush graduated in '06 two weeks after I asked him out; he had a serious girlfriend anyhow, but I didn't know that at the time. I'm almost 17 and I've never even kissed... that's what I get for having standards.</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm bitter. It's not that I'm not fine on my own, but it'd be nice to have someone.</p>

<p>The closest I've gotten to a girl is sampling their hair for DNA in Biology. I've never actually touched one, except for when I trip over air in gym and touch their socks on my way to the ground. -_-
If they didn't know who I was, maybe... :p</p>

<p>I think my own input into the business would be too great for the output. In other words, my loss if I have a bf.
I'm just skeptical, pessimistic, and misanthropic about these things.
And yes, I have no love interest whatsoever at the moment.
Except for my books. :)
I don't see anyone who really attracts me.</p>

<p>I don't really care. Dating in hs = dramaaaaaaa.</p>

<p>Yeah, and Ihate it when guys don't get "no." I have had guys ask me out but a. I can't date b. I don't want to date right now...c. not my type anyway</p>

<p>i guess how i act kinda comes off as flirting to some guys. i don't really mean to! i like being personal with people (guys and girls) and i just naturally smile a lot, give eye contact, and say their names.</p>

<p>there have been several opportunities where guys were about to ask me to "their girlfriend", but i choose not to have a boyfriend. certainly i have crushes, but i don't want to be in a relationship yet.</p>

<p>first off, too much drama. second, loss of time. third, i am kinda of picky. lol
not necessarily in looks, but how they act, such as if they're immature, etc.</p>

<p>i want to wait till college before getting into anything serious.</p>

<p>school> all else</p>

<p>In college you can focus on dating a lot more. Just wait a little longer. It pays off.</p>

<p>"Preppy girls never looked at me"
- Weezer</p>

<p>Yeah so I'm getting the consensus is all college bound chicks are too absorbed in their own apps to worry about relationships.</p>

<p>Well, I had a boyfriend for a little less that 1.5 years (from the middle of 8th grade until the end of freshman year), and trust me, I discovered it just wasn't for me. In my experience, having a boyfriend causes you to develop this crazy dependency on him, and you convince yourself that you need a boy to make you happy. Which is absolutely not true. Thus, I have concluded that high school relationships are a distraction from other more important things, such as academics, and 98% of the time, they never last. So I'm holding off on the boyfriend thing until college.</p>

<p>Although I still get dates to dances and stuff. (I mean come on, one date for every single dance throughout high school? Live a little!:))</p>
