<p>@StarbucksBarista: There was a girl I always wanted to ask out in high school, but she was one of those types. I avoided asking her out, because I figured-- since she was stunningly gorgeous, intelligent, and funny, and had yet to have a boyfriend-- that she had turned down all the people who’d asked her out. Turns out that isn’t the case. I think guys, myself included, were just nervous because of how assertive she seemed. Perhaps you should try asking someone out yourself?</p>
<p>@JimboSteve, yeah I could see that perspective. I think part of my problem is that I’m stuck in this fantasy that a handsome prince will sweep me off my feet ;p I’m really old fashioned so I believe that guys should ask girls out. I can see why guys would be intimidated though. I would never want to ask someone out who I thought would reject me…</p>
<p>What’s so bad about being single?</p>
<p>I see high school as a time to be selfish; I don’t want the responsibility of having to worry about somebody else too. If you really want company (and this advice would apply more to girls than guys…), find a friend with benefits. It’s a low-investment relationship (if that) with substantial rewards… However, both parties must have clear rules laid out early on and be completely honest.</p>
<p>Honestly, I still spend my fun time with Mario Kart and other wii/computer games. That may be just me though.</p>

<p>the timing worked out once and yes, he was a ****** bag, so it did not go very well.</p>
<p>dating wise, im alone. junior in high school. i try to convince myself im not ugly, but it looks like i am. have good friends including female friends though. so its all good.</p>
<p>@heartist: Sex is a commitment waiting to happen. Dating is a benefit you get from attractive friends.</p>

<p>No, guys don’t like that. There’s your contradiction. Audrey Hepburn never ‘roared’.</p>
<p>I was in the same “forever alone” situation a month ago. If you were to ask me on December 19th, 2011 if I would ever get a girlfriend, I would have responded with “no.” A month later, I’m no longer single. The best thing you can do is not waste time looking for a relationship. Just let it come to you naturally.</p>
<p>I haven’t dated anyone in high school either, or even hooked up with anyone. I’ve certainly had my chances, but it was never with the “right” girl.</p>
