    My son is 14 and has never had a girlfriend, mainly because my rule is no dating until 16.

    You're not the only one that doesn't have a girlfriend, and frankly, those that do in the 6th grade, aren't really dating. They're children. Dating at that age is really nothing.

    They call it dating, but really, what can they do in the sixth grade? You're what, 12?

    They hold hands during recess, they share their lunch, they text, and that's it. They can't really date, because they're not old enough. Most of them can't cross the street without an adult. Think about it.

    Having said that, it sounds like you only want a girlfriend so you can fit in. I realize you're a child, and fitting in feels like it's really important, but, do you think having a girlfriend just to fit in is a good thing? Wouldn't you rather have a girlfriend because you really liked a girl, and she really liked you?

    Last but not least, in order to date at your age, you need your parents permission, and she does too. Are you even allowed to date? My kids aren't, and one of them is a lot older than you.

    Kiddo, welcome to being a kid. No matter where you are there are always going to be kids that gossip, there's always going to be the pressure to do what everyone else is doing. You either become a sheep, and follow the crowd, or you stand your ground, no matter what the cost.

    Fact is, the kids that don't follow the herd are the kids that most of the other kids wish they could be. It's so easy to be a sheep. It's much harder to be a leader.

    Why are you so determined to be a sheep?

    That is what you consider dating?

    Sorry typos I'm not saying I'm following a crowd or being a "sheep"
    It's just typical to just be like others like not all the 6 graders are in a relationship I'm saying like 70% do but someway along middle school that's considered weird or "slump" as they say

    But kiddo, you're not interested in a girl. Your post said "How to get like any girl in 6th grade. Like I feel left out cause all my friends have a GF and make fun of me". You want a girlfriend so you can fit in, and your friends stop making fun of you (not great friends if you ask me). That's being a sheep, doing something because everyone else is doing it and you want to fit in.

    There's an old saying "if all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you"?

    What's the worst that can happen if you decide to wait until you're ready to date?

    No, I can't answer the question you asked, because I don't agree with an 11 year old dating, and unless your parents agree that you can date, giving you advice to get a girlfriend is not legal. I won't be a part of that.

    Good luck.

    1.Get to know her
    2.Talk to her not a lot and not little
    3.Just be yourself around her
    4.Once you know her and she understands you, you can ask her out
    5.Note: If she says no go and just be her friend.
    6.Also don't bother her and keep asking her if she says no!!
    I hope you think this is helpful

    Did you read the part about this kid being 11? You didn't add number 7,8 and 9 to your list.

    7. Ask your parents if you are allowed to date.
    8. Ask her parents if she's allowed to date.
    9. If neither of you are allowed to date, than you can't date.

    Also have to ask, who is he talking to, who is he being himself around, who is this girl? She doesn't exist. He's not interested in a girl, he just wants any girl he can find so that he can fit in with all the other kids texting and pretending to date.

    You asked if your post was helpful. I don't see how it could be, you didn't address his question, or the ramifications of it.
