I always fancy someone but I'm far too shy to ask them out and I won't let my mates ask them out for me. This is really getting me down and I really really want to go out with someone very badly.

This is from martingreg3. So you want to have a boyfriend. Is this just because others have boyfriends or do you like boys. How many boys do you know. Even slightly, I don't mean your brother. We always do things for reasons. Generally Humans are not too stupid that is why there are so many of them. But we are talking about you, you see Miss Oz has told you certain things based upon presumably her opinion. She will not have to live with the results of her opinion, if you follow her advice. You will. If you enjoy it, well good for Miss Oz, if she gets it wrong, sue her. That should put the cat among the pigeons. What would I advise. You I am afraid have not told me enough. You just want a boyfreind and are 14 years old. Do you like football, football likers form 1 queue non footballiker form another. take your choice. Out of interest what is you aprents attitude. Yousee although I went to a public school all boys quite a few had sisters, and I lek people and I find people interesting. Now by the time I was 7 I knew I was a boy I knew that most boys were like me. Other than my attitude to girls which was probably affected by the fact that I had nearly all girl cousins and no sister. So girls were normals and good fun to play with provided you made it interesting enough. getting away from your parents was the first game, that was three, the second staying away all day. once you reliably came home preferably dry and not too muddy you were allowed to disappear. I had the key of door at eight. So is it because you have not had the opportunity, or is it because you are just intested to find out. Well start either by knowing something about football or just hang around with a boy or two who does not run, be your self and some fun and tell your parents and if they complain say Mr.Gregory said so. try not to get pregnant, do not go on the pill and do not do it until you are, unless you have to and ask as many questions as you can. But give the guy a chance to answer. Try and laugh.Mart.

that is so young, and to all the posters saying they are 15 or 16.
having said that though, my advice is to take action now though and dont wait for it to "just happen".
when i was 14 i thought it would "just happen" too. now Im 21, with no signs of ever getting a boyfriend. ive never kissed someone either.
and if you think im young to, visit the forum incelsupport.org. people on there are in their 50s and have never had a bf/gf.

 There's no rush. I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 17; it didn't kill me to wait and it won't kill you. Waiting for someone special to come along is much more rewarding than just making a play for every guy you kinda-sorta like. If you're lonely, hang out with your friends and family more. You're still a child and have many years ahead of you to experiment with romance; don't worry about what other people's love lives are like either, you don't need to be with someone because it seems like what you should do, or what everyone else seems to be doing. If you really want to go out with one of the guys you fancy, just try to approach them with confidence; you say you have a killer personality, talking to the boys is the only way they're gonna find that out!

I've been asked out a few times by guys that weren't exactly...all that great [One had a killer personality, ok looks but you know how us teenagers are, always so superficial] I've got lots of close guy friends and i long for a boyfriend, not to seem popular or "cool" but just to experience it. I have long legs, hourglass figure, blonde hair, freckles and blue eyes and I think I'm pretty but I long for someone else to tell me that.
Then again, at our age, love is not exactly a priority. School and educating yourself should always be at the top of your list. You've got plenty of time ahead of you, think about love then. That's what I'm going to do. And I'll wait until someone asks me out. 3

I cant really say wether or not its good to be in one.
Im in one at the moment.
I didnt get myself a bf till i ws 15.

All of my friends have boyfriends and whenever we hang out they always have their boyfriends with them. Don't get me wrong their boyfriends are my best guy friends too but I just can never seem to find a guy. I'll walk down the street and college guys will honk and wave and yell at me cause they might mistake me for their age. How come guys my age won't like me? I'm 14, going to Highschool, 5'4, dark brown hair, and i think im not ugly and all my friends question why i don't have a boyfriend. Frankly, I think it's just because i'm not forward engough. I have been lately but im trying. Good Luck!

I have an older sister who is gorgeous and just broke up with her bf of 2 years and 7 months...and now she is with another guy and they are already kissing. Its hard for me to look at them kiss and hold hands knowing that it will never happen to me. I am 14 and I am going to Highschool. I belive if you try and open yourself more to guys they will find you more attractive if they get to see your true Peronsality. I am a very funny person, but you have to get to know me very well. I am also very shy when it comes to guys, but I am trying!

EVERYONE has or has had a boyfriend so i cant really talk to anyone about it. i guess all i can say to you is to try to have fun in high school, i guess eventually everyone finds someone. even if you do want it to happen sooner rather then later!!

I'd rather have fun with my friends, like you're suppose to when you're a teenager. And concentrate more on my school stuff. Everyone i know who got a boyfriend, they totally changed; the way they act and everything, just to impress him.
We shouldn't be worried and depressed about not having a guy. because God doesn't want us to be doing that, because the lives he gave us weren't ment all for guys. :P

Hiya,
You will find that it is 10 times harder for a boy to ask out a girl because they dont deal with thier emotions very well, they are terrified of rejection. If you like someone just go for it, it doesn't need to be walking up to them in school and asking them out, if you have a group of friends, get friendly with his group of friends and suggest meeting up after school as a group. You will be able to get a better read of how a boy feels about you this way. Realising that everyone your age will also have these feelings makes it easier. Asking a friend to talk to the person is an excellent way to break the ice without doing it yourself if you are shy. If there is someone that you like, you could always just say to them "I like you" if you get a negative response from them, you will more than likely be over it quicker and it will be all forgotten about, whereas if you leave the feelings to fester, then you could be obsessing about someone for months, without really knowing how they feel. Life is short so take that leap of faith, have confidence in yourself and at the end of the day if they aren't interested then its their loss. Good luck!

 OK, you are only 14, you're not exactly that old, but if this is bothering you, then do something about it. It works both ways. Do you like someone? If you do, why don't you go ask him out? If you're tired of waiting around for someone to ask you, then just do the opposite.
Why won't you let your friends do this for you? Sometimes, it may be easier that way. It would definitely sound A LOT better coming from you though, that's for sure.
If you like someone, why don't you just become their friend first, before you go and ask them out. Talk to them a little, ask them some questions about themselves. Or if you want, you can just ask them if they want to hang out sometime or go to the movies. See what you two have in common and then go for it.
There's definitely nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend yet by the age of 14. You have the rest of your life ahead of you, but if you want one now, you may have to act upon it yourself.
Good Luck.... hopefully you find someone and get the nerve to ask THEM out:)

reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2005): You are only 14 you don't have anything to worry about. However, if having a boyfriend is that important to you then maybe it's your confidence. You seem to be a very confident person but that just may be a cover. Try making yourself feel good about yourself by having a day at the spa or something close to that atleast like getting you hair done. Then try talking to the boy you fancy and if you like him enough you can just take a deep breath and ask him out the wors thing that could happen is that he says no which isn't the worst thing in the world. It wont kill you just make you stronger. If your lucky he'll ask you out.

You made me smile describing yourself as 'killer personailty'. You know there is nothing wrong with you. And who says you need to have a load of BF's under your belt by 14. I sure would of got better grades if I never dated till I was 18 and wouldn't be back a college now aged 30!.
So fancy boys, ask them out, dont ask them out, just dont worry about it. Peer pressure is a big thing for kids your age. Do what you feel, be strong and make your own choices. You sound like you are smart enough. Go with the flow. There maybe one day, when you say 'I never want a bf - at least for a little while;0)

Hi, Believe me you can probably get any guy you want. Although you are slightly young most guys will still be interested in you. I wouldnt worry about not having had a bf by the time you are 14 that is nothing to worry about, but if you want a bf then you have to take the first step. Find someone, like you said you fancy that guy, then slowly become more and more friends with him and maybe ask him to cinema or something, at 14 he will be as shy as you and will not say no i promise!

Enjoy the uncomplicatedness of being young. Ask yourself why you want a boyfriend so much. yeah, it is nice having a boyfriend, but you need to be happy with yourself first, and remember- you not having a boyfriend doesnt mean you're not good enough!! Im sure you are perfectly good enough, but gee wizz, dont rush this stuff. And ask yourself- do your friends have boyfriend? Is there a little bit of peer/ group stuff going on? All the best!! :)

I bet you that you will find a boyfriend easily! If you obsess about getting one all the time, it doesn't help much, because then,people will feel that you are kind of desperate to get a boyfriend.It's not good to be desperate.My advice is to rent movies where the shy girl in the corner gets the boy! Get inspiration! Everyone eventually gets a boyfriend you know! I don't know of anyone who has never had a boyfriend.So, you too will get one! I had my first kiss at 16 and I was feeling the same...feeling that I would never have a boyfriend! Also, good things happen to those who wait, so I bet you will get a killer boyfriend! It's not how old you are when you get one, it's how good he is!Sending you good vibes!
