Is this normal

4 months ago · 3 · Question, +2


148

I’ve noticed that no guys my age ask me out. I’m 16 , and if I like a guy I have to be the one to initiate everything. However, guys that are 19/20+ ask me out but when they notice that I’m 16 they leave. Why is it that the guys my age never do?

    Maybe because you look older.

    Males and females mature at different rates. Females mature earlier.

    It is completely normal if guys your age don't ask you out! It's true that teenage boys can be a bit more clueless, shy, or simply uninterested in dating because they're young. Don't think there is anything wrong with you! You are absolutely desirable, but don't stress too much about it. When someone really likes you and asks you out, it will be even better! If a boy doesn't put in the same effort you are, he's not worth it imo.
