I'm 17 & I've never had a boyfriend so obviously there's something wrong with me looks-wise, but all my friends have got boyfriends except me. It annoys me cos they're all trendy & outgoing but there not all exactly gorgeous or even pretty some of them but I wear trendy clothes, try to make an effort basically, I'm 7st 3 & 5ft 3 so that might put guys off 2 cos I'm short, I suppose it doesn't help that I don't go on nights out but that's because I'm 2 shy & I don't drink, but even tho I make an effort with my appearance, guys just don't even notice me it's like I'm invisible!

Update: Nearly all of you have said wait until college because it will be better, but I'm from england so I've been at college since september! Nothing's changed =(. It's not that I'm desperate or anything, it's that nobody has ever even showed any interest in me b4    5 months ago

I feel you, that's good you don't drink and it is hard to go out with friends and hangout if everybody is drinking but you. Being shy well that's you and I wouldn't change that too much because some guys like shy girls but it wouldn't hurt to try to talk a little more to guys and girls but don't change who you are. I'm in high school now and I really haven't dated anybody because I don't party so I guess where in the same boat lol. Good luck!

Your worried about not getting a boyfriend ?, no offenses but its not then end of the world. For me looks are by no means everything I have a few years on you and unlike most guys I don't place as much value on looks as everyone else at least I don't think so personality and certain specific qualities have to be there. I also don't deal with all the lies and bs and drama and games that you all seem to play but I still get it anyways because they want reassurance well I am smart to their games. And just because you on the up and up with clothes trends and whatever else is by no means a reason to think your single if you think that is why they your going after the wrong kind of guy (who is superficial and materialistic), there is nothing wrong with short I don't find a problem with ones height unless she is way taller than me...lol, just be yourself act natural you have more to you than just the physical, like a personality and a brain don't take this the wrong way but use them you may very well be surprised if your personality doesn't catch ones attention and yes I realize the physical is what we all see first but again is by no means close to everything its nothing personality will make me more attracted to her, looks are just a little bonus if you will. I really wouldn't stress over it.

You're still 17. You have plenty of time! You're in high school. People are immature in high school. Just be yourself, hang out with your friends and a relationship will come along. Enjoy your high school years.

Don't worry. You are fine. Find things that make you feel good. Focus on the things that make you feel good and remained focused on school. Like some of the others have said, college will be so much better. More men who enjoy variety instead of the same thing warmed over. Take it from me. I am 5ft 3 too. You will see. Tall guys like shorties!

I'm 18 and I'm still single...and I'm 5'3", pretty shy, and don't go out partying or drinking. I think the biggest issue for me is that I'm shy, not my looks (and I'm sure it's the same thing for you). But you shouldn't get so stressed out over guys. You're better off waiting for someone you're interested in than going out with the first guy who asks you out.

I'm in the same boat. There's a quote on the internet that says "If your single make the most of it. It doesn't mean that you aren't good enough for anybody, it just means you haven't found anybody good enough 4 you. " I've never had a boyfriend and can't wait to find out what it's like. Just be patient, appreciate your friends, and have some confidence. I have faith the guy you truly deserve will come with time.

sadmeganhappymegan Me too. but its really hard to wait for something that seems unfair that you don't have because everyone else around you has.
i don't care about his looks, I care about his values and his self.

peace,love,&veggies.

Lim 5 ft so height has nothing got to do with why your not getting fellas! ! I would say either fellas think you'd turn them down or don't approach you cause your shy but yet again it doesn't help that you don't go out on nights out! You don't have to drink either I don't some nights and I still meet fellas and have a brilliant time!

First off 17 is young and there's a lot of time. Don't worry about it too much.

Secondly, your shyness is almost definitely hurting your chances. People notice people who are out there and talking.
