I'm 5'7, smart, stronger and more athletic than most of the people I know, I'm pretty chill, I'm extremely friendly and easy to get along with. I talk to girls quite frequently at school, I don't have an amazing social life, but I always try to be the best I can be whenever I get the chance. My best girl friend, who I've known for years, (and has a boyfriend) told me I'm cute and she wonders why I have no luck. I'm just confused. I'm contemplating just giving up and waiting 'till I'm older to pursue a relationship. :/

Regardless of reality showing you this, every girl here will either dissagree or dislike this comment.
Atleast I don't comment with something that has nothing to do with the topic of discussion.
or looking for a nice friendly guy to take advantage of, that they can walk all over and get to do whatever they want.
it's hard finding a good girl. but like someone said below, don't go out looking to "get a girlfriend," too many people have this mindset and date people that they aren't meant to be with (and they know it), and then they wonder why their partner is cheating and lying to them (they don't love you like you love them), when the time is right you will meet a great person who will be into you for the right reasons, and it will be wonderful.
No you just dang short little fella woooppp!
Or do you just sit there and expect bitches to come to you?
Anywho, myself being a female, I can tell you that any guy who thinks he can be an asshole towards me will be shot in his throat, and I'd feel good about myself from the time I pulled the trigger all the way to the prison cell, that being said, I like guys who are kind, confident, and has a good head on his shoulders. Most girls do. The fact that you feel like you can't get a girl (since you're leaving this post) shows me that you don't have much confidence in yourself, and that shows. We females like guys who believe in themselves, not to say that we want someone who is big headed, but we definatly like guys with high self esteem and a lot of confidence. Have you tried talking to a girl you find attractive? Ask her out. You know, all girls think differently, so just because one girl doesn't like you doesn't mean another won't. Are you shy at all? Try to be more outgoing, if so. I know I like guys that make me and aren't afraid to be the center of attention, and don't be afraid to flirt a little too. I mean, you don't have to come off as a complete perve, but a little bit of flirting never hurts. You also say you like athletics, well, try talking to the cheerleaders or some other girls that you see in the gym a lot. 9 times out of 10 the girl who likes you is going to be interested in the same stuff you are. I know I always find myself attracted to the artistic and unique types, as I am artistic and unique myself. I'm sure you can get a girl, and there's no doubt in my mind that there's a few girls who are crushing on you right now. Remember, we get nervous around you guys too. Like a said, just have confidence in yourself, and don't listen to what other guys say because they don't understand the minds of females any more than you do. This is coming from a female herself, and I know you have what it takes to get a girl:)
But if I man decided to treat me like shit, I would cut damn his liver out!
