I have been single for my "whole" life ph and if I get any answers that say stuff like "your too young" or "you have your whole lifetime" my 5th grade sister have dated 5 boys so yea and everyone else has at least one so yea I need to know because I'm too shy o tell the guy I like that I well like hi any tips?

The question is, why do you want a boyfriend? Do you want one because everyone else seems to have one, because that's what it sounds like.

You are too young, and you do have your whole life in front of you, but if you really want to date someone, why not wait until you find someone that you want to date, instead of wanting to date just because everyone else is.

[Alty]

Ah, I see you don't agree. Thanks for the reddie. You really are mature. NOT!

Okay, so you want to date so you can fit in with everyone else. So find some guy, who cares who he is, and ask him out. Keep asking until someone says yes. It doesn't matter who he is, what he's like, or even if you like him. You don't want to date someone because you care about him, you just want to date because everyone else is, so find some random guy and date him. Then you'll be like everyone else, and not at all original.

I myself thrive on doing what I want to do, and not conform to what others think, but I'm not a sheep. If you want to be a sheep, it's easy. Just do what everyone else does.

Good luck.

I suggest that you only start dating if you have a crush. It sounds like you just want one. Is there a guy that you actually like? Here's my advice: Get a piece of paper and write down a well thought out list of why you want one. Also FORGET about the other people who have one. Most of those relationships are really only online or they say hi to them or something. In 7th/8th grade boyfriends and girlfriends are really only for show.

Don't spend your time on just one boy. Be friends with lots of them. Get to know all types of guys. Trust me! By the time you are able to go out on dates, you will have your head on straight as to which guys are worth your efforts, whereas the other girls will still be clueless and be chasing after the worthless ones.

First I would say that if someone is in 5th grade they are not really dating, many 1st graders say they have a boyfriend, but it is not one of a more mature dating.

13 is really too young for serious dating but if you do things in groups with boys and girls of your age, friendships can develop

[Alty]

That's my point exactly Chuck. At 13 they're not really dating. It's kid stuff, because they're kids.

My concern with the poster is the fact that she seems to want to "date" only because everyone else is.

I still say that it's better to be yourself than be a sheep.

Id just leave it fall into place don't rush yourself because other people are doing it if someone jumped off a bridge would you do it to easy no because your not stupid get sum1 to ask you because ull find out soon if you ask sum1 u like out but they say no Ur upset and it will turn U off boys for life unless you like dem and sum 1 says to you they like you bck den you ask and plus 13yr olds can get into a real date I'm 13 and with a boy 3yrs he asked me out.

It's true that if you want to date someone just because everyone else is, then you shouldn't. However, if your feeling lonely and you need to share a special bond with someone, there is no harm. You could go out to the mall or somewhere and meet someone, or you could ask someone you already know. It honestly does not matter whether you've known them for a while or not, anyone can have a chance.
Im thirteen as well but I am a male. I've personally had a lot of friends who are girls, just friends, and I'm saying this from experience. Anyone has a chance, once you get to know them completely.

And when your parents say no, then what? Do it anyway because you're 13 and know everything?

Ya... I thought so. ;(

[Puppyluv2000]

Ok I'm going to say it's OK I'm the same way right now I have 2 boys fighting over me and won't give up plus I'm 12 sooo I don't know Im sure your very pretty and plus must have a crush who likes you back like I said I don't know

[Grantmaster5]

If you don't care who it is, ask a boy who doesn't have a girlfriend because most any boy will say yes to a girl because I speak from experience, a lot of boys that like a girl won't say anything because boys are terrified of rejection, Absolutely TERRIFIED! And the good thing is that if he does say no, you just put yourself out there for other boys to know that you are available who might have thought otherwise.

Well me myself I'm 13 , I have a boyfriend and I've been with him for just over a year about 15 months and how I got with him was I got to know him and flirted a little and he ended up liking me... and if this doesn't work then your trying on the wrong boy Hope this helps!
