Cant get a boyfriend because I look young

Im 24 years old, female and have never had a boyfriend because apparantly I look 12 years old. Im petite in build and Ive been told I have a 'childish looking tone' to my face. I get ID'd sometimes for lottery tickets etc. Ive tried to have really short hair to try and look older but its not worked. I saw a guy who i used to know at uni and he said that he found me attractive personality wise but that he was hesitant about hanging round as he was worried what people might think. It probably explains why I dont have many friends either.

Ive been to a pub about twice in my life and you know how older men look around when someone walks in, well they did that and one of them shouted out 'bloody hell look at her shes about 10 years old'. They looked and I heard one of them say 'they are getting younger in pubs these days'. People say that its not my height (im about 5ft) its my face that looks really young. I think i have an oldish look to my face and people agree but they say that when they first see me they assume im about 12 or 13 and that its probably because i dont wear make up. Im flat chested too with boyish fairly muscular figure. I actually do wear make up i put on eyeliner, foundation and blusher everyday so thats its slight but noticable.

Im not into heavy makeup or jewellry at all in fact i should have been a guy i only really wear jeans and t shirts. Just wated advice. How can i get a boyfriend (who isnt a peodophile before someone says it) if I only look 12??

I would recommend just growing out your hair. Hair is perhaps one of the most obvious symbols of femininity a girl has to offer. Having very short hair does nothing to dispel the masculine traits you are already bussing around. There's every possibility that guys aren't interested because you remind them of an 8-year old boy.

So yes, my advice is grow out your hair.

being honest.. I'd say to not rush into finding a guy - find time for yourself first! meet new people and chill! Guys will come to you if you've got the confidence Besides, a great man will not look at you on the outside, but past imperfections

good luck x

When my hair is grown out I look like a witch plus its very unmanagable and frizzy despite efforts. I do seem to get marginally more attention (like 1 guy a year potentially interested lol) when it is tied back, so i cut it short. When I think my hair looks ok someone makes a comment liek my hair looks rough Ive been told that my hair is bad so many times. People tell me that im 'natural' because i dont do my hair and makeup etc but I spend loads of time on my hair (straightening it ... people say it looks much better straight) and do wear a bit of makeup. My family say that short hair suits me and makes me look older but then yea its guys opinions that matter.
