Sometimes i talk with boys but because of my insecure i don't know what to say. And i think that if i have a boyfriend he will get bored soon with me. For that reason i never accept invitations.. how should i act?

Have you got some male friends? If not, try just becoming friendly with some guys, then when they don't get bored with you, it'll help with your confidence for dating. When I was 17 I thought no guy would like me, and what was special enough about me for someone to want to be with me and only me?! Sound familiar? If it does, forget thinking like that! It's not a case of him getting bored with you if it doesn't work out, it just means the two of you didn't click in the right way, so then you can think about why you didn't click and it helps you refine your ideas of what you're looking for. Sure you get hurt sometimes, but you'll survive!! I started accepting invitations when I was 17 and I'm now 23 and wouldn't trade any of my experiences for anything!

Just act like yourself boys will like you for you, and if they don't they're not worth it

I may not be no expert lol. But i think i can give sometimes good advice. I think you should stop being so insecure and as a girl your age have some fun and experiece the teenage love life. Dont ever think of the negatives there for thats whats bringing you down from having a boyfriend. If they ask you out for a date its because they are interested. Dont fool your self. Have some fun and instead of thinking in the negatives how about think about the positives :)Goodluck!
