Just be yourself, try and look your best and don't come across too loud or pushy. Be bubbly and friendly and let your personality attract them. Smile too, there's nothing more attractive than to see a girl smile. You are still very young and have plenty of time in the years to come to date guys. It WILL happen when the time is right so don't worry about it.

Again, I'm a guy. I'm several years older than you. What works for me is to do my own thing and naturally make friends with people with similar interests. Also, is there anyone you really admire? It's okay to show that admiration, and it's a great way to make friends.

Wierd.
I used to be really bothered about this but I think i've come to accept it. I think some people are popular during school because of how they look, and purely that. These girls that do get boyfriends, well in my school anyway, are bitches to be frank, and wear lots of make-up and go out and get drunk every night.
I know this is probably going to sound a bit odd, but I just take a step back, you will only be in that school for another three years maximum, in which looks and popularity mean everything. My friend, who is 19, that it changes as you move up through education, or life depending on which option you choose.
She went to college and said that the boys had changed a lot since leaving secondary school and were more interested in girls that were nice, funny and clever. Looks and popularity didn't seem to be as much of an issue. She recently went to university, and she says it matters even less then. I think everyone has just grown up, and their hormones have settled down and their bodies kind of understand what's important in a partner.
So, I think you should stop worrying about boys noticing you, and just get on with life. Work hard at school, and have a laugh with your friends.
You mentioned that you didn't have many, perhaps now is a time for you to stop wanting to be popular and noticed, and be recognised by people who love you for being you, rather than how much make-up you wear, or whether you damage your liver everynight.
