why havent i ever had a boyfriend?

Okay, I'm a female 19 year old, and I've kissed alot of guys. My friends all say that I can get any guy that I want whenever we go out or anything, and its kinda true sometimes I guess. The trouble is, ever time I really really like a guy (when I only like one guy for ages and ages) he never seems to like me back. then I end up feeling really bad, cause I never wanna tell them how much I like them because I never seem to be getting anywhere. I've never had a serious boyfriend, but I wouldn't bring that down to me being unattractive (this isnt my opinion, its others). I mean, some guys do really like me, but if I don't really like them back I never wanna take things further. Its just annoying that the guys I really like are never the ones that seem to return the feelings.

Any advice? any at all? :frown:

The thing is when you really want a boyf you don't seem to find when and then when you give up or aren't looking the right one will turn up!

actually i tried that with a kettle one time but for some weird reason it actually didnt boil lol.

maybe what you need to do is tell the guys you like how you feel about them. for all you know they may like you too and just think you dont like them

Maybe you want what you can't have?

or maybe it's just sods law that you can't get one, you will find someone eventually :smile:
(cheesy i know, but good looking people always manage to find someone)

To the OP,

I haven't had a boyfriend either. Don't worry; it will happen at some point. Just enjoy yourself and be happy. The right guy will come along and you'll probably wonder why you worried. There's no reason why anyone doesn't deserve to be loved :hugs:

yeah, but thats the point. i don't wanna just pull guys anymore in a meaningless way, I just find myself doing that because the guys I like never like me back, or if they do they never ever say anything, i dont know.

well from a guys perspective ive also kissed my fair share of girls, but ive never been in a serious relationship, cuz i never really wanted one, so i wouldnt really worry about it!

that is SO true.. I met my bf at the train station.. random and unexpected:cool:

Maybe you just like the kind of boys who aren't good at taking control of a relationship, and that just makes it appear like they aren't interested.

girls seem to think that guys should be the ones to ask them out and it makes it scary for us poor males so if you like someone go for it, i'm sure the guy would be over the moon

reason 1:
You rely on guys to approach you. I know it's the 'mans job' but this is seriously going to hinder your chances, most men are scared to death of doing this.
possible reason 2:
you are stand-offish or hostile towards male approaches. I don't know if you are but it's possible and this is likely to hinder any possible relationships.
possible reason 3:
you don't get out enough and therefore limit your possibilities of it happening. Again, I don't know if this is the case.
possible reason 4:
you are ugly and your friends are just being kind. This is unkind but possible - you should know if it's true.
possible reason 5:
you are so beautiful men are scared to approach you. I don't believe in this one personally myself but maybe it's different there.
