my teeth aren't perfect either, and i've always been really conscious of them. in fact, in my life i've often asked myself the same question you're asking. but i've had plenty of dating experience, and boyfriends! (i'm 28)
when i mention my concerns about my teeth, people look at them and laugh, they say i'm crazy, that my teeth are fine (actually, i sometimes get compliments on them!). and everyone knows how well i take care of them too (brush at least twice daily; floss daily).
just take care of your teeth, make sure they're clean & that your breath is alright, and keep in mind that we're *very* often more critical of ourselves than others are.
i bet you're beautiful! so don't let your worries keep you from smiling. if you ARE finding that you're too embarrassed to smile (i was, and still am very aware/self-conscious of my smile), then like some others said, you might consider getting braces -- they have those "invis-align" ones available these days, so you can barely tell they're on. also, if you whiten the teeth (there are many options for that too these days), it will probably give you a boost of confidence.
good luck. =D

A lot of people think that a not-so-perfect smile has charm and character. As long as they're not too bad (missing), I wouldn't think that it would be a problem.
I have perfectly straight teeth on the bottom but my top two front teeth are crooked a bit and someone I managed to go out with several different guys before I met and married my husband.

I think it's ok to have teeth that aren't perfectly straight (even after four years of braces mine aren't perfect!). As long as you take care of them and you don't have bad teeth or extremly yellow teeth I wouldn't worry too much. But then again you can always get braces if you are worried. My 29 year old friend just got a lovely pair of train tracks!

Well, slightly crooked teeth aren't bad, but if your teeth are all sideways, then you may want to consider braces. It'll not only help you personally, but in the future, as well. Most employers are lying if they say that looks aren't a factor in their selection.
If you have a good personality (and your teeth aren't yellow or discolored :)) I don't imagine any worthwhile guy would be so picky.

My teeth are not staight either but I've dated some cute boys in my time. I don't think it has anything to do with how straight your teeth are sweetheart. If a boy doesn't want to date you because of your teeth, why would you want to date him any way!

That should not be a reason why someone would not date you. My teeth aren't very straight either and that hasn't stopped girls from dating me. I'm also a musician and a public figure and it doesn't come up in any conversations. It depends on how you carry yourself. Have self-confidence and you'll be fine.

Aw, everyone is different. I personally have a thing for teeth, I prefer a good set of teeth, to say, a crooked pair. But my bessie mate is the complete opposite to me. Dont let a thing like that bother you...

Of course that's not a valid reason not to date someone! My ex-friend has really bad teeth but pretty much every guy sleeps with her so I'm sure it's not that off putting!

A little imperfection in another human being can be a source of great comfort and reassurance when one is not quite perfect oneself! I'm sure that there's far more to you than your teeth and it is those other qualities which will make you attractive to the opposite sex.
