Why don’t boys like me?

I’m 16 and I know I’m still young but I’ve never had a boyfriend, which is actually unusual in this generation.

I don’t think I’m the best looking girl ever, but I don’t consider myself so ugly that no boy could ever find me pretty. I don’t even have any guy friends. I think it’s probably because there are a lot more prettier girls at my college, and they’ll probably more likely wanna go for girls like them.

I wish I could have boys attracted to my personality instead, but I’m not a loud person in class or in general. My personality only comes through when I’m with my close friends, but I only have like acquaintances in my lessons. I’m so awkwarddd.

I find myself being attracted to nearly any guy I see who is remotely good looking, even if they aren’t that good looking tbh, and wishing they would fancy me, but I think I just crave attention from boys. 😅 I can’t really explain it properly but I hope you get what I mean. How can I get more boys to be interested in me, as myself?

Boys your age only want to "pump and dump"

Boys your age only want to "pump and dump", if sex isn't a disposable commodity in your eyes then you're better off waiting until a guy really can commit to you. Perhaps you might be lucky and not have to wait too long for such a guy...

How can you get them interested?
Go up to them and talk to them, if you're unattractive/obese then wear makeup or lose weight.
Thats litterally all you need to do. Flirt a bit if you have to and show you're interested.

I think your main problem is not going up to them and talking to them from what you've said. It may be hard and you may feel weird/awkward while doing it but yea, talking to them is all you can do. Find something to talk about and whenever you get the opportunity to, do.

My best advice would be to get to know them as a friend first. As a 15 yr old boy, i would be much more interested in dating someone if i knew them as a friend, rather than some random girl who likes me. Once you know each others personality, you might like them, or vice-versa. Also not all boys are interested in sex (tbh most aren’t). Choose the quiet ones with similar interests to you. Good luck

I get what you mean but even if I did that I’m so awkward that I’d probably make a fool of myself. The guy I like isn’t in any of my classes, so there’s no way to subtly bring up a convo. & Tbh I’m not obese, I’m actually too skinny and guys don’t really like that at all these days. 😓

I'm nearly 20 and a man who hasn't ever had a girlfriend, I'm chilled about it. You may meet people at uni or something, it's not about the quantity of the relationships, but quality!

I agree with you tbh. I guess being in a relationship is fun though, even if you don’t get married to the person. People always remember their high school/college relationships, although some have bad experiences. 🤭 Thanks for the advice.

Ay, even if you are awkward then its still worth it as you improve at talking to them, some guys find it cute if a girl is shy when talking to them. Idk how to approach someone thats not in my classes, I dont know how to do that myself but at that point I usually just dont bother xD its just 50x harder to go for it. If you're "too skinny" thats fine, most dudes like thin girls (not unhealthy level thin ovc) I personally just prefer "healthy" as I imagine most people do. - not obese or super super thin.

From how you've described yourself the problem is clear: you're too quiet and boys aren't getting to see your personality because you reserve that side of yourself for your close friends.

It doesn't sound like that boys dislike like you; it sounds more like you're not showing enough of your personality for them to even really be interested enough in getting to know you.

if you're shy and average looking then its hard af
