Search Results: crush on an older guy

Look, maybe I'm imagining things but I feel like the moment I reacted the age of 14 having a platonic relationship between a guy and a girl became nearly impossible.

Since a young age I was always a nerd, and as many of you might know it's hard to come by 6 year old girls who are willing to play GTA so from a young my friend group was pretty limited to all guys.

It was only in the last year of middle school that I finally started developing some decent female friendships and then highschool came and it all crushed down. All my childhood guy friends decided to go to a different highschool then I did and I was pretty much stuck in this new environment, surrounded by my new female friends.

And that was the moment I started noticing something odd.

You see, I don't want to brag or anything but I consider myself to be quite good looking, in fact, I've been asked to model a couple of times just like my mother did when she was younger. But I almost never got hit on during middle school.

I always blamed it on me probably not looking good enough or guys preferring the more provocative type of girls which would roam the school rather then an art/theater loving nerd.

But when I entered highschool it all changed, and I mean, REALLY changed.

I'm a pretty friendly individual so I like to walk around classes and talk to different people, and so, surely enough, I soon got acquaintanced with a couple of guys. At first I didn't think much of it, I only thought that I'm making new friends and that's all, but turns out the guys had a different thoughts in mind since they began confessing to me, one after the other, and after being rejected they would stop talking to me and pretend as if I wasn't even around.

Now, I'm scared of attempting to talk to any guys that I'm interested in only as a friend since it always ends up in the same way.

So here is my question, do platonic relationships with guys stop existing after a certain age or there is simply something wrong with me?
