How to find a good guy?

What do you define as a "good boyfriend"? If you criteria is the typical "tall, handsome, wealthy, race-specific and obedient", then you will have a tough time finding your type of guy as a boyfriend. If you search with open eyes and look for the real important stuff such as personality, cleanliness, what he does, what habits(smoking, etc) he is not into, then chances are you have been standing next to potentially good boyfriends every day. Try looking at the boys whom you would say, "nice guy but not my type". You must might be surprised.

I applaud your desire to date, not enough of that going on these days due to girls' independence and selfishness. I wish the best for you.

Well, I have to agree a little bit with budphillips, because you shouldn't try too hard to find a boyfriend. Remember, the pressure is really on guys... let them do most of the work.

But to answer your question, I would say there's nothing wrong with putting yourself in places where good guys hang out. Good places for a teenager are at the local park, at some local entertainment events, or maybe some after-school activities. That way, you already have at least something in common with someone, and you can build on that and get to know what kind of person they are.

You shouldn't go LOOKING for a boyfriend. Some girls [and guys as well] become so obsessed with the IDEA of HAVING a boyfriend or girlfriend, they'll date people that are not good for them. It's tough to get out of those relationships.

I know it's frustrating, it's a time in your life where you really want to mature quickly and all your friends are trying to find boyfriends and it's a real confusing time, I remember, and recently talked a high schooler through the same thing.

Don't rush out and try and find a boyfriend. You'll find a good guy when you're ready to, and you have the rest of your life to have a boyfriend/husband/whatever. Enjoy your time with your family, friends and the boyfriend thing will work itself out.

I'll repeat, don't date someone just because you want to date someone. Those situations rarely work out.

Functions are a good place!
School functions, church functions, community functions, etc.

The people who show up for these events are usually the ones who care & have something better to do than lay around on a weekend or go out cruising, ultimately looking for trouble.

Look for the guys who seem to care for a cause. The ones who like helping people, prioritizing their education, and really are concerned with the community and its benefits. They have great virtues & morals and would make a fantastic admirable match. The first one to come may not be him, but he's not the last either!

Try finding activities you like, join a club, visit a new coffee shop, hang out at the park, ... Try out new things with your best friend and have fun. You'll meet new people and maybe you'll become friends with them. But don't start searching for a guy because (and this sounds stupid but it's true) when you search them, you won't find them. You will meet him when you least expect it, that's how it always goes. It's all right to look around, of course.
