10 easy pts for those who really help me. Boyfriend/dating advice?

I'm still a teen (16 )and I've never had a boyfriend before in my whole entire life and I want one really badly. So I was wondering where and how to get a boyfriend. All my friends around me have one or had one at some point in their life and I seem to can't get one. Why is that? I get so jealous when I hear about other girls talking about their boyfriends or their ex. Are guys intimidated by me or am I not pretty enough? I feel like if I don't get a boyfriend so I will go the "other side" if I have to(even though I don't go that way. It's just to make a point). I don't know what to do anymore I'm getting frustrated and jealous. Prom is next year for me and I won't have a date, but that is not my main reason. I just want a companion to love me and to get gifts from on V-day and my birthday etc. and make me feel special . Which is why I would rather date an older guy if i can't get a boyfriend my age.

1. all u got to do is just ask someone out and thats about it i am on my 3 boyfriend i am going to stay with my last one because i love him
2. don't be in a hurry
3. maybe you aren't doing enough flirting. find a cute guy in your school who you like and do some heavy flirting. then if that doesn't work. go to places you like to go. bookstore. coffee shop. mall. give it time. soon you will find that person.
4. I'm sure your pretty its just guys haven't noticed you yet or they are taken. Try hanging around the same place most single cute guys are in and make a scene but in a good way, they'll notice you and like how you have guts
5. I feel you. I'm sixteen, and I too haven't had a boyfriend yet. It feels quite lonely sometimes when everyone seems to be happy with that point in their life, and we're left out in the cold. But think of it like this. I'm quite an independent person personally, having another person to look out for too when I'm trying to take care of myself at our age can be difficult. Guys are thinking of things, while us girls are looking for more emotional relationships. Remember, our time will come. And if it's time was now, it would come. But if not, then, that's cool too. Besides, wouldn't it be better to focus on school, grades, and improving you before jumping into all that?
6. I havent had a BF yet and Im 19. Its okay dont rush it you want to get a guy you really want. you need to be picky. its best to picky, dont be like your friends because they are just going to get hurt in the end. wait for the right man to come to sweep you off your feet. when hes the right man youll know.
7. Honestly you are better off with out one. Yes they may give you special attention on a couple of days, but they also come with a lof of drama too!!!! I have always felt that dating older guys has worked out better for me. Good luck! If a guys doesn't ask you out, maybe you should suggest you have lunch together with a special someone...or the movies. It doesn't even have to be just the two of you, you can always double date, which at your age is probably better. Don't push it either, otherwise you will end up with some jerk.
8. I am also a teen gurl! And To get a boyfriend is to find out who u like first! And when u go around that boy make sure u look your best! Try to like drop ur pen/pencil and let him pick it up, and like act so hott in front of him!! You will get him!
9. If the only reason you want a boyfriend is because your friends have them or just for gifts, you're looking for all the wrong reasons. To want to be loved and feel special is one thing. You, my dear, have expectations that are all take, take, take, and no give. What is in it for the guy? I suggest you grow up a little more and find better reasons to want a boyfriend. These are not the right ones.
10. start flirting with guys if they aren't with you...go to parties...&& don't be afraid to shake ur booty!!!...lol...hehe...just have fun && be comfortable around them...but don't be too clingy && stuff...
11. most people will say youll get one soon. But I say become a slut!
12. i am in the same exact boat as you are in,all my friends are in serious relationships, and having sex and i had a boyfriend for 3 years, but we broke up. I learned that you need to be able to be happy with yourself, inorder for someone to be happy with you. Just try to be alittle bit more daring, maybe a little bit more outgoing, try going to new places, talking to new people, i seriously think it works, but just remember to stay true to yourself, it really helps. Have your friends introduce you to new people, and have those new people introduce you to there friends, if you need any more advice just email me =) i love giving advice, esp. when i am in the same boat as you!
13. it'll come just that.. you dont know when patience will help, but then its nice to have a boyfriend.. well if someone has asked you out at least then your definetly not a loser or ugly or something at all if you like someone just be more open go more out there be flirty and hav fun getting to know him! GOOD LUCK
14. going over to the other side, even just joking about it, will get you a lot of boyfriends. just ask your female friends to ask their boyfriend's, friends ,if any of them want to date you. sometimes when you are not seen dating, guys think you are unavailable. by at least asking around, the word gets out.
15. you just haven't met that wonderful guy yet. he will come around when you least expect it. just be yourself. don't try too hard. be nice and friendly. be patient, he will come. you could also ask one of your friends if they have a brother or friend that you would want to get to know. good luck!!
16. maybe other people will have better advice, but there really is no trick to getting a boyfriend.. the best thing you can do is be social and friendly, talk to lots of different people and be yourself. if you do find someone you like, try taking the initiative and talking to them (not necessarily ask them out, but show them some attention). The last thing you want to seem like is that you are desperate for a boyfriend, in my experience thats the last thing that attracts a guy. Also, don't take this the wrong way, but you might want to adjust your attitude a little. Having a boyfriend is about being with someone you enjoy and that YOU want to do things for, not someone to buy you things and make you feel better about yourself. I think you are approaching the situation with the wrong attitude. I can't imagine anyone wanting to date someone who just wants things. Relationships are not one sided, and boyfriends are not just there to do things for you. If you do get a boyfriend and go into with this attitude the relationship will not last long.
17. Hang on there little missy....the boy who is gonna be your boyfriend just hasnt noticed you yet,,,,,it will happen dont push it so hard and if you really want gifts for v day and birthday and christmas and all the other reasons young people buy thoughful junk for each other, but gifts are the wrong reason to have a boyfriend, and until you figure out what a boyfriend is all about i think you should pay attention in class, keep a smile on your face and be your happy go lucky self and the boyfriend of your dreams will come along, and believe me a year is a long time......I have spent every day of the last 18 months missing my husband who passed away. be patient the boyfriend will be there, you just have to wait just like all the rest of us had to, and going to the other side is a real drastic decision to even think about, you are 16, you have many many days to live before you are too old to have a boyfriend, and an older more experienced boy will not be true to your heart so leave that thought alone...
18. You should be glad that you are so special and not like your friends who have already given themselves to men at a young age. The man who will find you will get you all for himself right. Just learn to be patient. Find things to do not to think about guys so much. Find a pen pal online maybe because this way you can really get to know a man. If you meet a guy and you don't love him then you will be unhappy with him. Just pray to God to send you a guy to love. Try the online pen pal way too. Just keep praying and it will happen. Also study up on relationships and become a relationship expert before finding a guy. Remember having things in common is the prime ingredient in lasting relationships. Go to www.ucg.org to study their booklets on relationships, etc. And keep praying and you'll be ok.
19. Get more involved in things going on in your local community,just get busy in sporting organizations church groups,hiking clubs groups that involve boys and girls,then let nature take it's course it will happen for you as it does for everyone.
