As a 17 year old girl, people say I’m a catch but I’ve never dated yet. May there be something wrong with me?

People say I’m pretty and I have a good body shape. I’m also told that I’m smart and genuine, but for some reason I keep attracting the wrong guys. Guys that are vulgar, desperate and don’t share similar morals and values as me. One problem that I have might be the fact that I’m introverted and that have close friends. How can I find a respectable, smart guy that actually wants to be in a committed relationship? What might I be doing wrong?

There is nothing wrong with you if you haven't dated yet. Everyone has their own pace and timing when it comes to dating. It's great that you have positive qualities and that people think highly of you.

It's important to remember that you have control over who you let into your life, including the guys you attract. It sounds like you may need to be more selective and firm in your boundaries. If you are not interested in guys who are vulgar, desperate, and don't share similar morals and values, then don't give them the time of day. It's important to know your worth and not settle for less.

Being introverted and not having many close friends is also okay. You can still meet new people and potentially find a respectful, smart guy through other means, such as hobbies, activities, or online dating. It may also be helpful to work on building your confidence and social skills, which can make it easier to connect with others.

In summary, there is nothing wrong with you and you deserve to be with someone who shares your values and treats you with respect. Be selective, set boundaries, and don't settle for less than what you want and deserve. Keep an open mind and continue to meet new people in different ways.

Try looking at the guys that DON'T approach you. The aggressive ones are the f-boys and wannabe f-boys looking for quick sex. Try looking at the guys that are looking to go to college, the guys working while going to school. I would say there's nothing wrong with you. You're 17, and seem to want the right kind of guys, just make sure you screen these guys and don't do anything until you're sure they're the right kind of guy. Trust their actions, not their words.

Ok who tells you you’re a catch? Your female friends? Females IOP tend to do a disservice to their friends when they lie to them about how cute they are or how it was his fault he don’t deserve you when in reality a lot of times it’s them. If boys are telling you that then why aren’t they asking you out? As to why you attract these types of dudes maybe subconsciously there’s something there that you put out that you don’t know about that draws them in.

Didn’t I say in my post that I didn’t have friends?

You are just jot ready yet. You cannot rush the ripening of a peach.

I bet you'd probably have more luck with that if you try to find and approach one such guy yourself. Have you tried that?

At your age, good luck finding any of that.

I know it doesn't seem like it to you but 17 isn't that old for not having dated.

[brandon1122]

That sucks. You are 17 so take it really slowly. I don't think that anything is wrong with you.

Yep. You're emotionally unavailable.

Where are you from? I'd love to date you!

Why haven't you?
