My question is, why don't girls like it when I talk to them and they seem to just not like me? I'm still a V and I rarely go on dates. Now I have no confidence in myself :(

 You sound like a dreamboat to me. At 17 you've got lots of time to find just the right lady. Be friendly, stay active, have fun with club activities, you'll enjoy yourself and you'll find a lovely lady.

 Hi Sweetness,
Your *sad face* made me want to give you a big hug. Life can be very harsh when we are going through our teen years. I know that it's hard to feel comfortable and get more self assurance when you are young and feeling a bit nerdy, but I suspect that it's your stature and size that might be tripping you up a bit.
You are a very big man! That can be a bit intimidating to a girl! They might be a wee bit overwhelmed by how manly you are - girls tend to go for the more average sized "cute" (read: non-threatening) guys at your age. I wouldn't worry too much about all of this, your confidence will grow into your size and all the girls will love you in a few years. Women always say that they want a big tall guy! If I were you, I would just throw myself into all of the interests and studies that you enjoy and before you know it, you'll probably meet someone who is like-minded and who appreciates your good nature. Take advantage of the time that you have in your young life to try some of the things that you have always wanted to get involved in. That's another great way to meet people with similar interests.
Some of the best looking men that I know now weren't the most popular teenagers and they have probably come out as better, smarter and more empathetic men because of the challenge that they faced by not having the best time in high school. Adversity can actually be a big character builder, even if that seems like little help to you right now. Things will improve, I'm quite sure it! Take care, hope this helped you out a bit.
