    Am I too fat to get a boyfriend?
    Okay so I weight 149 pounds and I am 5.5 feet tall... I have a lot of guy frieends.. and people often tell me I am pretty with a great personality.. but I can't get a guy to like me as a girlfriend.. is it because I am a overweight? Will girls like me end up alone without bfs? I am really scared.. I am already 17 and I've only been asked out once.. I need advice on what to do

    First of all, I want to point out that 149 is NOT fat. The average weight for women in America is 163. You are still young and your body is going to change many times.

    You said that people often tell you, you are pretty. It could be many reasons you haven't had a boyfriend... Maybe you are shy. Maybe boys are intimidated by you. Maybe you don't put yourself out there. Again, could be many things.

    If you are concerned that your weight is an issue then perhaps, some jogging and eating better will help. BUT, do it for you, not for anyone else, and do it in a healthy way.

    Lastly, NO, you will not be alone for ever.

    You are absolutely not too fat to get a boyfriend.

    I was 240lb for most of my teens and early 20s and I had boys lined up. It helped that I was tall and fit and confident. Most of the time, I forgot about my weight, and so did everyone else.

    In fact, when I lost weight, I got less attention from guys. I think that because I looked more ordinary, I didn't stand out any more.

    Learn to dress yourself to suit your body, have confidence and you'll be a knockout.
