Boy Trouble

i feel as though i’m ready for a relationship now however being at an all girls school through secondary has made it hard for me to talk to guys naturally!
Obviously i’m friendly, kind and understanding but i always get anxious when talking to guys!
wondering if anyone can help a sister out with boy trouble!
I also need to find a social situation where i can meet guys, whether it be in person or on a social media of some kind (it’s just to get things going, i really have a fear of being alone forever)
Thanks again to anyone who replies x

Are you able to go out outside school with your friends? Like at a weekend or after school? I tend to find that one can attract attention by simply walking around an area where boys tend to be. I wish you luck OP!

thank you, i live in the most remote village full of OAPs, so probably not full of young people! 😂
I do tend to go on walks quite often with friends but have never managed to stumble across anyone else (it’s seriously that quiet) Thanks again for your reply and you’re welcome to follow me on insta if you like @flowrrsandpetals

Just talk to them the same way you would talk to a girl. The reason you are anxious is because you're overthinking it and convincing yourself it's difficult. Instead just talk to them like you would anyone else and it becomes nothing to be afraid of.

Sorry I can't really help you there. I went to an all girls school too and didn't really start to meet boys until I went to uni. Hopefully someone else can give you good advice on where to meet them and good luck!

I think that there are many boys who are in the same situation as you.I think if you just wait around but stay active with people who you talk to, you should start meeting people. Im not sure, i'm kind of in the same situation as you.😂😂😂. But don't worry. If you go to university there will be a lot of people for you to meet. Im pretty sure ur not going to be alone for ever, so don't worry about that.

Tbf it doent matter where you go. Whereever you go, people will be there. No matter what you do, ur gonna be meeting people. Just make sure u stay in contact with people. Imma be going to 6th from next year. Try getting a summer job? I heard that thats a good way to meet new people. Also just ask to add people of facebook or insta.

Follow some fit boys on insta, then when they accept your follow request or follow you back, slide into their dms, add their snapchat, get some streaks going, then meet up and hang out and have a mad time. If you don't know them then when you message them you can legit say anything and have all the confidence in the world because you can choose whether or not to meet them in the end

not really sure that’s my sort of thing! i would never lie to someone to make myself seem better through social media, that’s who we are taught to look out for, not become!
