ok, i'm 15 years old and have never had a bf. i guess that probably has something to do with the fact that i was homeschooled up until high school. but i'm not weird or anything... i know how to socialize!!!!! anyways, and i'm also a jehovah's witness and can only date other JW'S. so yea, its hard for me to find a guy. but still... why can't i find any guys that like me. i just don't get it!!!!
*sigh* i feel like i will never be with someone

Now is the time for you to come to know Jehovah your God.
Now is the time for you to come to know yourself.
You will be a different person at 18, than you are now at 15.
You will be a different person at 21, than you were at 18.
Spend this wonderful time getting to know who you really are, and not what someother person wants you to be.
Been there,
done it,
and also raised two children in the truth.

I think it may be easier for you to find other JW's to date when you go the big conventions. I am friends with a couple JW's so I understand your religious requirements. Don't think there's something wrong with just because you don't have a boyfriend. If you and your parents don't go to the big conventions ask them if you can go to one. I went to a couple district conventions and once to the annual one at the San Francisco Cow palace. Plus a lot of people think JW's are a cult so you have that stereotype working against as well. I also dated a guy in high school that was one and we had to keep our relationship a secret because I was "worldly" (I hate that term), his father was an elder. So it didn't last for very long. I may not agree with your religion, but I understand what you are going through.

Ok, reality check luv, you are 15. As you know if you are a Witness, dating is for marraige. I am 22 and not ready for it myself. Legally you can't get married for quite a while. Don't rush it.
As for getting boys, and people in general to like you. Honestly, wanting to be liked/likable is one of the oldest issues of humanity.
Try to like yourself. That often helps draw in others. Don't force for a group. IE, don't strive to have "guys" like you. Try to make yourself likable in general. Sometimes friends can come from a grouping we wouldn't expect. Example, you might find out that an older sister and you are really good buds, and you didn't even know you 2 were so much alike.

Stiff upper lip!! I don't understand why you can't date a non JW, sounds like a religious thing which I respect. Well it sounds like you're going to have to wait until the right guy comes along, it might take a while but don't go out with just anybody just to be in a relationship. Sometimes it's better to not be in any relationship than be single. So hang in there, a good guy will come along. Sorry no amazing words of wisdom there.

it seems tough now, but when you do find that one person it will all be worth it. I thought I would never find someone and now I have that person. Don't worry....there is nothing wrong with having no boyfriend, especially at your age. I wasn't even allowed to date until I was 16, there is NO rush.
