A good friend of mine who is 16 has never had a boyfriend and told me that she is loosing hope to finding a boyfriend. I know that she doesn't really talk to guys all that much but I think that it is because she doesn't know how to start a conversation with them. Because she told me sometimes when she says hi or what's up they just kind of give her a look that says " why are you talking to me?" and says hi back in sort of a question. what should I suggest to help her feel better?
First off, "giving up hope"? She's 16. My roommate in college didn't date anyone till we graduated and now he's engaged. He seems to be doing fine.
Sounds like you need to be a wingman or wingwoman for your girl. This is a situation where you need to talk to one guy while with your friend and one of his friends are around to. It will sort of be like forcing the other two to talk to each other.
The reason why she's probably getting rejection from other guys when just saying "Hi", is because they might be confused, if they don't know her. Try the usual girl stuff. Make brief eye contact, smile all those things. That's what perks my interest in a girl.
I think once she stops looking for a partner, that's when the perfect one for her will turn up. And on the conversation thing if they can't appreciate a simple hello from What I'm sure is a lovely lady, their not worth the hello, she needs to know that. Hope everything goes alright for you and her.
I know how she feels; I had the same problem b/c all my friends were dating. Just try to be there for her and let her know she has so many talents and interests that can occupy her time (like stuyding. lol) If she's patient and not looking for it, one day a great guy will come and that just may be one of her best relationships.
