how old are you?

Regardless of age, you should not allow your dating status to dictate how you feel about yourself or how much you value yourself. There are plenty of wonderful people out there who are single and happy in that situation. Everyone wants to fit in and have a girlfriend or a boyfriend since it seems like the right thing to have in your life.

I have said it before and I am saying it again being 17 sucks. I hated being a teenager, I hated being in HS it felt like a horrible, never ending prison camp. My life didn't start to get better until after HS so I always like to remind teenagers that there is a big huge world outside of your HS walls.

With that being said maybe you are trying too hard. Have you tried befriending girls you are interested in and getting to know them a bit before suggesting a casual date? Do you any opportunities to meet people who go to other HS? My cousin is 17 and she has never dated a boy from her HS she says all the time that if those were the only people to choose from she doesn't think she'd ever date.

My only other advice is feel confident in yourself and feel good about who you are. You cannot expect a girl or a relationship to build up your life. You need to make your life happy outside of those things.

Yup... the teen years sucked... ill agree with that... and hey, when you get out on your own (if your not already) and get a career going, which you really need to focus on (college), then things will start to pick up for you. I was 20 and out of college before I started to have some relationships... so don't feel so bad. I know exacly how you feel. I went through the same thing.

I'd also add that it may help you to relax and not stress about it so much. You'll find love when you're not looking for it. :)

I can relate to you. I feel the same way.
Ive never actually had a b/f and it sucks.
I want a boyfriend about as bad, or possibly more than, you want a girlfriend.
LETS HOOK UP!!
Haha just joking but seriously, put yourself out there more.
At least that's what everyone tells me.
Haha.

But if you ever want to talk to someone who can relate to you...
Hi.

Don't rush the realms of your life. Things will come in due time.

Relax first, It sounds like your trying to hard. Be yourself, don't follow the crowd, and just feel safe in your own skin. Did you ever think maybe the girls in your town are too snobby or stuck up? Go out and try to meet as many girls as possible, soon you will find one you mesh with. Just don't act like an idiot and turn her off. Open doors, pull out her chair, treat her with respect and I guarantee you will be the envy of all the girls.
Good luck

Hey, Mate you say your trying your hardest, well lets sit back and take a seat enjoy life being single at the moment. I was in the same situation as you like 6 months ago... and my life has turned around in the last 2 - 2 half months, eventually things do work out and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. I suggest you stop trying your hardest and start trying your hardest to enjoy life being single it doesn't last forever you know!!

There someone out there for you, and everyone else just people haven't relised yet, yea it maybe your HS Crush or that friend you always had from childhood. They maybe haven't relised that they actually like you or that they have strong feelings for you... and another thing is enjoy single life cause you can't get in trouble for anything when your single :D :D
