 Broaden your social and educational horizons, join a club at school, join the newspaper, learn a musical instrument, try-out for a play.
As for your friends the teens that become the most successful are the ones that didn't get all caught up in teen romances. Use your time wisely, and don't waste time dating now. College/uni will offer more men to you then your imagination can fathom. You will also be many steps ahead of all the teens that wasted so much time on school girl/boy crushes .

reader, anonymous, writes (10 November 2006): I don't think there is anything wrong with you. I don't really think 16 year olds need to be coupled, as they are missing out on a great time in their lives to learn about who they are through hobbies, school, and extracurricular activities...without a partner always taking up their spare time....It is great to have friends and even a love interest, but I would not stress out over not having a "boyfriend". Try to get busy with activities and you will have something to talk about with people that lights you up, which will help with the feelings of shyness.
Being shy is one sign of intelligence, perhaps you are just a bit smarter than the rest of your class or group of friends...I don't believe that everyone at your school is a part of a couple, start making some new friends who share some of your interests and like going it alone, you will be amazed at how much fun you are having!
