I am going to be a senior this year and have never had a boyfriend...ONLY crushes. I have never been kissed and only have been on one date....and that was for prom. I am kinda a shy person but I thought that I would have a bf by now. All of the guys I like are preppy and popular and I am neither of that. Did anyone else not date much in high school but later on found some one?? I want to grow up and get married but based on high school...I will probably be an old maid. And I highly doubt I will get a bf my senior year. Everyone I know has had a boyfriend....and i haven't. I am scared some people will start to think I am a lesbo even though I am NOT! I know that there are some guys that like me but I don't have the same feelings for them that they do for me......is that okay???? Someone....can you please give me advice? Thanks
Whenever I tell someone that I have never had a bf before they start making fun of me and calling me weird and it makes me feel REALLY bad about myself.

Try not to stress about it. Focus on what is importnat now, school and the rest will come later. If you really want to find someone now, you could ask someone out. Maybe they are intimidated by you, or don't think that you would want to go out with them.
I didn't have a lot of boyfriends in HS either... none in fact, just like you. But I focused on my friends and my family and my classes. In college I dated as much as the next girl, but I was picky with who I went out with. That is okay too! When you find someone worth being with, you will know. And it will happen!

Well, first of all, it does get better after high school. Also, try looking at the not so preppy guys. There are some great guys out there that you might find to be "geeky" are the best. The best place to meet intelligent guys that you might otherwise overlook for me is the local coffee house, not Starbucks.
I did date in high school (I'm not going to feed you a line), but it wasn't until college and later that I discovered that the guys you might look past treat people with more respect. My man now has an IQ of almost 200. He's brilliant and quirky and was a little akward in high school. He's a lot more successful than the jocks and preppy kids, and full of conversation that doesn't involve sports and gossip.

I had the same problem in High School and Im still faced with it after college, all I can tell you is to go to the person you like and flirt with them, be patient and wait to find out if there single because the information will come out while your just minding your own business. Next just grab there arm as you occasionally walk by and not stalking them...lol and say how u doing everytime you see them and they'll get the hint if they dont respond than you have the clue and can move on. If they say whats up and carry convo you got it, than u can give them your number on a piece of paper and wait patient for that phone call back, thats what I would want. Unfortunately for me the women I like are already taken.

I was just like you i never had a in-school boyfriend no one at school really knew who or if i had a bf all the way to my senior year. you are looking to find a bf @ your school and that may be the issue, u may have to venture out and find other ways to meet new people thats what I did and thats how I started dating i used to think man i will never have a bf.... but only 4 years after graduation I have had so many relationships its un real... not all sexual. You are shy to sometimes you have to come out of your shell and make your presence known and then people will start to take notice. in due time!

Hey I didn't have much of a life in high school either. I can tell you from my experience, don't worry about it. Once you get out of high school and get into life, you will truly see just how many people there are out there. Life does not end after high school.

Give life a chance. It is not required to be like others, or do like them.
You will find some one in time.
