Alas like many other people on here I have never gotten a girlfriend or have even come close. I've never been complimented on my looks and only made fun of. Not even a glance form someone else. So why do girls always ignore the nice guys (I've been told many times I'm really nice) and just look at the popular guys, the basketball and football players. Its making me give up hope on thinking I am good looking enough to actually go out with some one.

yes you are attractive. Also I know where you are comming from but in a different way. I have never had a serious relationship and I am often looked at as one of the guys. I am told by those who don't know but see pics of me that I am attractive. Don't give up hope. continue to be a nice guy. I am only 16 but I understand a lot even with my lack of experience. It seems as if girls our age want to be hurt. theyt want to be misserable. they always go for the jerks because that's who the other dumb girls are after. Believe me I have friends younger my age and older to much older than me. Once they grow up and get out of high school they will realize what they really want and need. I'm serious keep up the good work. I am constantly struggling to find guys like you at my high school. There are guys that would like to date me but they are jerks. Also I have problems that people think I'm emo because I wear skinny jeans and band tees everyday and I have black hair annd my ears are guages and full of other peircings. Guys think that if they don't dress like me I won't be interested in them. I'm just throwing that in there because I know that can be confusing. some girls do date outside of cliques. I too am a math nerd. I know in my heart that if I hang in there I will make someone very happy one day because I have a lot to offer that others dont, I know I am special as are you. Also I like star wars and other dorky things more than a normal teenage girl should and have a lot of guy intrests. but I am looking for someone who willl treat me right and like me for hats on the inside. I know it seems weird me telling you all of this but I'm trying to get it in your head that there is hope and that you should excede you boundaries because maybe the girls you would least expect to like someone like you will... actually like you. trust me.

hey (^-^) I know just how you feel, I am 17 and never had a boyfriend either. I can't recall the last time I was ever complimented on my appearance by anyone other than family which don't really count the same. I've never even been asked out by anyone, so I feel ugly and undesirable too. It gets to the point that you think that you just aren't worthy of anyone loving you, well that's how I feel. I try to focu on the fact that when the right person comes then they will love me for me and I am fine waiting until that person comes. That might sound stupid but that is the only thing that gets me through. sorry I can't offer advice but ust know that you aren't alone. (^-^)

just because it seems like people will be shallow and only like a certain type of person doesn't mean that its that was forever. Out in the real world people like things that really matter, so don't worry.

lol I played basketball in school, and I've never had a girlfriend either. I wasn't popular, I rarely talked to anyone, and I focused on my academics over everything else. I have been complemented a couple of times. Before it gets brought up, I was a starter and we won most of our games, so I didn't suck. I guess I'm an oddity. I was never really surrounded by girls. The ones that were around were not my type. I was always shy around the ones I liked anyway. I felt I had to share all of that for whatever reason.

Your profile says that you are 17, so you have plenty of time to find a girl. If you at least make an effort with girls, one of them will surely be interested in you. Chin up
