Just relax (yeah I know it's easy to say that!!) and try to have fun, rather than focusing on finding a boyfriend... Because looking for one like that it's easy to set yourself up for dissapointment, because you only notice things related to getting one.. But you are so young and could have so much fun with your friends, and even on your own ! Just for fun as well you could play with your look, die your hair or go to the gym or do something that will refresh the way you feel about you and that's a confidence boost!

Ask yourself why you think you are shy? Is there anything in your past or have you not had much to do with th opposite sex?Your low confidence and self esteem originates from you believing that you cannot do things, or from people maybe not encouraging you to do things you want to?Try looking in the mirror and saying things to boost your confidence, such as "I am pretty" or "I am good at sport." Anthing that will make you more confident. Or you could try getle exercise, this makes your body feel better and you will therefore feel better in yourself.Most guys don't like over-confident girls because they feel intimidated. They like girls that are sometimes shy but who will stick up for themelves when they need to.Use this to your advantage! Try eye contact and hold it for a while longer than usual and then look away, now you have him hooked! If a guy is interested in you it is for who you are!
