AS that you are 15, I can only tell you my story and hope that you find something to use from it.
When I was 15, I dated older guys. I looked 18-20 and acted older. I was pagent beautiful (for real) and guys were like magnets, but I was actually very shy and it came off as "stuck up". Older guys got that...and approached me differently. The guys my age were led by their little head, not the big one and it was so obvious.
I was very mature- at 15 already had and drove a car while attending high school and worked 30 hours a week, and kept the food cooked and clothes clean for my family. Not to mention we lived on a farm and I fed cows every morning at 5am. I was helping my family with money and saving for college. So dating was not something I could afford to do "time wise". I did have a boyfriend and we talked daily and saw each other about 4 hours on the weekend, he was very religious and secure.
So my perception of a sweet, romantic, prince was not my ideal guy. I didn't want the "highschool romance" that all my girlfriends were freaking out about. I wanted a career guy with good security, great manners and was my equal or better. If he was all about the "romance", then he had too go... I didn't have time for "playing house" with him till I was over 23 or out of college.
I didn't even consider "your type" till in college and "you" were my play toys... I never planned to marry a bohiemian. Here's the "rub"- I was in college on a music scholarship and drama minor and surrounded by "you" guys.
I married a computer nerd that was pre-med and is now a doctor.
AND- he is a tyedye t-shirt wearing, romantic, kilt wearing, guitar playing boheiman doctor. [only reason his hair is short is because of his job] So- that's my story. Best wishes.
The reality is.... I think that "We" know what we need and what we want (two different things) in a relationship. I had no desire for marriage while young and no kids for sure, so I avoided anything that would cause either till my goals were met.

No offense dude but maybe it's because you come off as whiney. Also (and every woman on here will disagree with me but it's the truth) You cannot treat a woman as a princess. She may say that's what she want's but she will lose respect for you and walk all over you if you do. You can treat them great but you also must let them know there are boundaries and limits to your "niceness". Besides...the best thing would probably be just to look for someone to hang out with, and if that girl happens to become your girlfriend great if not no worries. Don't try and pressure them into becoming your girlfriend. You'll get the pressure of becoming a boyfriend/fiancee/husband soon enough...why rush things now?

15 can be a very lonely time. Your a young kid and yet a man at heart. Like others before me have said have some patience and a female will come into your life, probably when your least expecting it. Let it be known that your single and looking and this may be a big help also as some of your friends may have some suggestions for you on whom to hit on. Good luck to you and I'm sure the gals dig your hair and personality.

Why are you so desperate for a GF? You seem to have a lot going on for you right now. Only when you're happy with yourself and confident, other people will see that in you, especially women. I'm sure you would treat any girl with respect and like a princess but those are things you have to tell them...not us. You'll find someone, you've got lots of time. Be cool.

Sweetie - you're only 15. You have the rest of your life to find someone to love - don't rush it. You are cute, you are a great student - all in all you really seem to have it all together! Take your time & the girls will come, I promise. When you do find the right girl, you'll know - don't just settle for the first one to pay you any attention, okay? Don't worry so much about it - this is one of the most carefree times in your life - just enjoy what you have right now!! Hang in there & don't give up hope - she'll turn up one of these days!!

Well, first things first, you're only 15, girls don't really know what they want at their age because they are going through a lot. What might not be attractive now, could be HOT in only a few years. Even though you sound like a good guy, these girls might not know that. I recommend putting yourself in their environment. For instance, if you like the artsy kind of girl, try taking classes or become involved in groups where these type of girls are around. You need to make yourself available to them and then show them that you are a nice guy.
One last thing, if you DO meet a girl, you can't be pushy. You need to come off like you don't need her, which will probably make her more interested. If you go in too strong, then she will lose interest.
Good luck.

Popularity and confidence be a leader or a strong emotional person. most people have been strangely attracted to not so good looking people as beauty comes from within, love yourself first, doesn't really matter what you look like cause once you really and truly love yourself others will be attracted to you too.
Do not be a door mat it can be a cruel world out there, you are the one in control not some woman who you want to treat like a princess she will walk all over you and take what ever she can if you let her. be nice and caring and you will be a babe magnet.

Try to relax and wait for the time to come. Have you tried asking girls you like out? Girls your age don't usually ask out boys. Try and hang out places that more girls do. So you have more of a chance to get to know more girls. If you’re shy try asking groups of people to do things girls and guys. That way it doesn't have to be so uncomfortable for either side. My nephew just turned 16 and he was always unhappy without a girl friend. Now he hangs out with groups all the time, going to movies playing sports ect. He always has a girlfriend now. He got his happiness by having many friends that were girls and just hanging out together. Give it a try. Some day some lucky girl will walk into your life ;)

You may be all those things that people say you are but are you shy?
If you are shy then you are probably just not putting yourself out there and letting anyone get to know you and if you aren't shy then I would say that you should just start flirting with a girl or some girls that you like and see where it goes from there.
You know tell a girl you like that she smells good today, or tell her that she looks nice, put yourself out there flirt a bit and then ask for some numbers something will eventually pan out.

Maybe you are thinking about it too much. It seems to me that as soon as you quit actively looking for that special someone, you have the best chances of finding them.
Plus, you are 15 and girls that age are fickle. Don't worry, they'll come around. But until then, figure out who you are and what you want...that way, when you find what you're looking for, it will only be that much stronger and apt to last. Good luck.
