I'm 19, single, and have about 0 guy friends.
4 Comments

Hello world,
I thought I'd get away from personal friend advice and see what the world has to offer me=). So, I've been alive 19 years, I've been single all of my life. I've never been in any relationship and it hurts me just about everyday. I don't have any close guy friends or guy friends period. I've very outgoing and I don't know what my problem is. I have so much love to offer but no guy has any interest in me it seems. I don't get out much but I'm out enough to be looked at (which there are no lookers). Everyone I know tells me i'm so pretty so it's not my looks. I don't think i'm attractive so that could be my fault but no guys talk to me so i don't know. What's wrong with me? And i know 19 is young and I have to wait and i have so much living to do but i feel like i'm not going to ever have a relationship at the rate i'm going. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Do you think it's normal?

To start, I believe that from an early age kids learn to be disempowered, and that young adults and teens struggle to realize that they have the power to affect things.

Almost nothing that is important will happen in your life unless you make it happen. I myself struggle with this because my passions are mostly extreme stuff so friends are mostly all guys that are older than me. Anyways before I suggest anything specific, here are my questions for ya

What do you do to try and meet guys?
Do friends know that you're single and ready to mingle?
How often do you go to parties that you only know one or two people?
Are you a regular at any teams or social clubs?
on networking/dating sites?
Also, what kind of guys do you like?

Looking pretty will always help, and it certainly opens the door. (Literally! http://isitnormal.com/story/big-round-bubble-buns-29461/)

Tune into the "I'm single" channel. Notice guys looking at you. They are, trust me. Broadcast the "I won't bite if you say hi" signal. Scream it without saying a word.

Let guys know it with your eyes. Don't be shy. Show off your best features when you dress. Eat right and exercise if you need to.

My story is pretty similar to yours. Same age. same situation. No guy friends and no relationships to speak of. The difference is i get a lot of looks. i consider myself pretty attractive but I attribute most of those looks to the confidence that i exude. You said your lack of relationships hurts you everyday... WHY? Dont sweat the small stuff. He'll come along before you know it. i promise :)You need to think about all the positive attributes you have and flaunt them! i've been told that guys find confidence attractive, so start with a confidence boost! good luck!
