I can't seem to find a girl that likes me because all of them seem to like the jocks and bad guys. I am what you would call a geek, not the biting chickens heads off kind but the computer geek knows everything science kind. I can't find an attractive, or even unattractive female that likes me. I have found a few girls that might like me but the one problem is I can't ask them out. I am too afraid to be rejected and i always struggle with words around girls. HELP IS NEEDED!

It's absolutely normal. I was the same way. When I finally got a girlfriend, we talked on AIM for a couple of weeks before we started going out. I told her I was nervous, and that helped a little. It also took Valentine's Day to help me ask her out officially.

Don't despair. Not all girls like jocks and bad guys. As said, once you develop a rapport with someone it will get easier. To be shy is normal. Be yourself and you'll be fine. It's a wonderful thing when you find someone to share your interests and ideas with. I am an artsy/Trekkie/computer geekess and when two geeks meet and fall in love, it is heaven, trust me.

Try looking in the right places, slallow -airhead types are looking to up their image by hanging with who's supposed to be cool at the time.
Lot of hot females have the same interest as you,get in the right venues to begin your search.

trust me, there are women out there who'd rather have a smart, sensitive guy than a big dumb jock. i'm engaged to one. we met online, but you might find someone in other spots. don't give up!

I'm a geek!
The best idea I can give you is don't try to act cool, and everything will come to you. I was practically the same as you, until (luckily for me I moved schools) I firmly decided not to try to act cool, but still be outgoing. Don't compromise your values! Use long words. And call people stupid if they start complaining. To my surprise my "experiment" worked and I am quite popular at my school despite of my absolute geeky personality.

Thanks again everyone, I'm working on relaxing my hold on my personality, and slowly changing to who I am, instead of who people think I should be :) I'll get a girl yet!
