Why can't I get a boyfriend?

Question

I'm 18 and sometimes people outside stares at me and compliments me saying I look pretty/beautiful/sexy and I would smile and say thank you. I'm a nice person with no evil intention, I never backstabbed my friends, even they say that I'm so nice. Even when I go outside to malls and stuff, all I get was just stares or whistles or compliment, but no one ever asked me out. Why can't I be like everyone else who has a nice decent bf?

Answer 1

Fine....I will be your bf. What time should I pick you up?

Answer 2

You know, some people just are too pretty--they seem to be far out of reach so no one tries--a lot of guys are scared of losing or being rejected. I don't know--I am just stating a fact about pretty girls. How about forgetting the worthless malls and joining more interesting clubs that can be a nice source of meeting nice guys. You have to find better places to hang out and be seen. how about coffee shops or places that are a bit more intimate. You are 18--time to forget hanging at the mall--you know all those people--you aren't doing anything there. You have got to broaden your horizons and find places to meet new people and do different stuff. Just the fact that you say guys whistle at you says that they are immature and not worth your time. I don't know where to tell you to go--but the mall is NOT a good place for you.

Answer 3

You know what, be thankful you are who you are. Lots of girls your age already have babies and broken marriages/relationships and fighting with their ex's for child support or more attention, or something. Before too long some nice man will come sweep you off your feet. Just don't think it'll never happen again and that you have to settle for the first one that comes along. In the big picture you are still way young and have lots and lots of time to pick a good one, so make sure you give yourself that opportunity.

Answer 4

I can ask you the same question because i too don't have girlfriend. Many of them complimented that i am handsome & good looking. May be we both are shy or very busy in our carriers but i am not at all disappointed because one day i am sure that i will get a nice girlfriend. Bye and never get disappointed.

Answer 5

eh, guys are weird.
If you're perfectly normal you are boring. etc etc

If it's been 18 years and you've had no boy interest, you may not be doing anything wrong at all.

But you could always make a move, find a nice guy...even if you don't like him so much and just talk and stuff and if it doesn't ask u out just eventually ask him to the movies. At least you'll get some experience with dates, etc.

Answer 6

Honey don't beat yourself up about it, maybe guys are intimidated by your beauty and they're scared to approach you because they're afraid of rejection. I use to get that all the time, the right guy will come along. I would suggest you make an attempt to talk to the guy of your choice. This is the new millennium girls are asking guys out now. Shoot your shot and see how it goes!

Answer 7

there could be a couple of reasons. i have an older brother in college right now and he keeps talking about this girl in his classes who is very pretty and all the guys like her, but nobody has ever asked her out. he says its cuz he is too scared of asking her out because he fears she is going to reject him because she is so "pretty" or he thinks she already has a bf. like the rest of his friends and classmates. i think its just because they are a bunch of wuss bags and are intimidated by her. so like basically you could be like that girl and the guys could think the same thing my brother and his football friends are thinking.

so that could be a reason why. if i were you i would take the plunge and flirt with a bunch of guys andmaybe they will start asking you out.

good luck with everything.

Answer 8

Just relax - are you going places where you can have decent conversations and actually get to know boys? Or are you just walking around places with your friends? Maybe you're intimidating or maybe you just don't create an opportunity for someone to approach you. Don't stress at this stage of your life, just enjoy being 18

Answer 9

There is probably something about you that makes you seem unapproachable. it could be your appearance, or your mannerisms, or maybe your reputation. I suspect that once you get a little older and start hanging out around grown men, this won't be a problem for you.

The big boys aren't afraid of you. But you should be a little afraid of them because most of them really only want to use you for a little while.

good luck.

Answer 10

You probably don't seem accessible. sometimes guys are intimidated by attractive, nice, connected women.

What have you done to get a BF - or are you simply waiting for the guy to come after you. This isn't the 1950's after all.

Answer 11

its not that i went through the same problem i would always be heartbroken because my best friend would be like yeah im talking to this guy and so on. i would ask myself y i couldnt have one but it all arrives at its time. yah i would get the same compliments to. but after awhile guys where like chasing after me and i didnt know wut to do and i certainly didnt want to hurt them but i had to tell them i didnt feel nothing for them now i have a boyfriend and he is a great guy he always tells me how much he loves me and cares about me. he's even talked about kids with me and moving in with him.dont worry i was the same and sooner or later u'll find that one guy its just a matter of patience and time when you least expect it. well best of luck!
