Why don't guys like me?

2 months ago · 5 · boys, +8


320

I know what everyone says- oh, you're just being insecure, of course boys like you, you'll find someone eventually-

but what if I don't..?

I know I'm pretty. I have a really nice face, I have cute clothes, I wear makeup, I show skin..

But its never enough. My friends are always talking about their "boy troubles." This one guy was being super annoying, this other guy won't leave them alone. This guy asked her out to homecoming but she didn't want to go with him. This guy is really cute but she doesn't think he likes her (HE OBVIOUSLY DOES!) They switch from one boy to another, then tell me all about how annoying it is that guys have crushes on them. They've kissed people, gone on dates, been in relationships. Boys love them.

What about me? Why doesn't that happen to me?? I don't get it.

Am I just unloveable...?

    This is an observation NOT a criticism. Having an ego ( eg “I know I’m pretty”) can be a turn off so you could try being humble instead.

    After all, some people have a face that could light up London after dark but if they’ve got a horrible character then they're ugly.

    There's nothing wrong with knowing you're pretty. I have friends who are aware they are pretty and how it impacts their lives, positively and negatively. They appreciate their appearance without being ego-centeric.

    I also have friends who are pretty enough to be intimidating. People think they're too pretty and therefore out of their league.

    Be brave. Ask the boy or girl you like out on a date.

    And so you know, you do not have to show your skin to attract someone. You do not have to wear make up either, or even do your hair. You only should do those things because they make you feel good about yourself and for no other reason.

    The people I know how get the most dates are devoted to their passions. You can see how intense they are working towards their goals, and they get many offers.

    I would suggest just working hard towards a goal or two that you find interesting. Sports, grades, clubs, whatever. When you do, guys will talk to you about what you like, and from there it will be history.
