Why can’t I get a gf/have friends??

0

I’m going to be rambling on a bit in this post, so sorry if it gets a bit tedious ^.^
I’m 14, never had a gf, no friends, failing school, the only thing I like is food tbh :pp and basically any person that says hi to me without being forced to.
So I am a loner, asking why I don’t have any friends *facepalm* I’m not a loner on purpose, but I don’t want to be that popular kid that everyone likes, I just wanna have some mates.
Also I’m probably the only kid my age who hasn’t had a gf yet, which is because a) The girls all say that I’m “ugly” or “creepy” and they won’t even say why or how I’m creepy (is it height because they always comment “you’re so tall” or something along those lines) and b) they’re all too busy throwing themselves at all the other guys haha. please don’t say something like “you’re so young you’ll find someone” it’s really just what everyone says haha

Yes, I know the feeling. I am around the same age and all of my friends are starting to get bfs. Do you try to talk to someone? Do you joke around? People like confidence and humor, just try not to be cocky. Plus, if things aren't working out in school, just remember that it isn't the only place in the world. The way I think of it; This is just a phase everyone is going through, and if not, I can always start over new after I graduate. Maybe you can think of that every time someone says something to you. Also, do you actually go up to a girl and talk about how hot they are (and nothing else)? Girls HATE it when guys do that! They especially hate it when they won't stop flirting (and don't know how). That could be how they think you are creepy. If you are STILL sad, then just think that these people aren't worth your time because you probably wont even remember them/ know them after graduation.

When I was younger and people started getting into relationships I remember being really confused by it. When I hit high school, I was less surprised by all the relationships but it still didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, what the focus was. I'm 18 now and I've never had a girlfriend or a boyfriend, I've never been asked out by anyone or asked anyone out, and that's okay. I don't know if this is the case for you or not, but sometimes people feel like they SHOULD have a girlfriend/boyfriend just because other people do and they think that's what's 'normal'. Just remember that you're at a point in your life when you probably aren't really exposed to THAT many people (at least not in the grand scheme of things). If you don't date now, so what? Sometimes our social circles are incompatible with our desires, especially when they're limited. You may not be able to change other people's minds about you to MAKE your current social circles fit your desires, but as you get older your social circles will expand and opportunities for friendships/dating will appear. I know its hard to hear things like 'just be patient' when you want things to change right away, but in some cases giving things time and going with the flow is all there is for it!

I'm 20, and I've never had a bf. I'm not freaking out because we have to remember that we're still young and shouldn't be pressured into one just because other people around us are getting into relationships. As for friends, I didn't get them until late Freshman year of high school--I guess you can call me a late bloomer on the social spectrum. But like Life Unexplained said, school isn't the only place you can make friends. Be yourself, join a club if your school offers any, and try and talk to people. Then everything will fall into place when someone accepts you for you. If you're shy, don't worry. So was I, and in a way, I still am. Good luck on your situation, and just know you can message me anytime and I'll find time to get back to you (busy college student). I can relate to you (well, except for wanting to be in a relationship), so don't worry. Everything will work out eventually. And starting to make friends here can also help you out--you can get a little support group to guide you to making great friendships or something! :)

When I was 14 I didn't have a gf and I am 18 now and still don't have one. It doesn't matter if you have one or not because girls come to you. Best thing to do in any situation is to wait a little longer. I am positive you'll be dying to ask out that girl in your chemistry class your junior year of high school. But also the easiest way to get more friends and/or a gf is just put yourself out there! Try theater, or joining a club. Your friends are the people who you have the most in common with!

Well :D I don't think you are the only one in that age that has never had a bf/gf. I'm 100% sure of that part :P Anyway, maybe till you find that *special* person you can work more on yourself and hang around in places you like. If you have many issues with yourself and your gf also has many issues it would be very hard as everyone would be often moody so someone has to be on the right track and place of mind somehow. For that reason if you feel you need improvement at something go ahead and do it. Don't think you are ugly and that's why you have no gf. I know some people that are very pretty but still don't have one and it's not always an issue that their character is nasty but they look nice; sometimes there are other factors like not finding the right person or not being ready for a relationship or people being so shy :) So give yourself some time and also try to be friendly. I'm not sure why they call you "creepy" or "ugly" as I don't really know you but if beauty is in the eyes of the beholder it is a fact that someone you like might find you handsome one day so don't let that pull you down. I don't think you are missing anything in that aspect to be honest as few high school relationships last for long terms so till you are sure you know someone you really want to invest time on and that person likes you back don't feel pressured to be in a relationship.
