guy help: I have not really dated anyone ever and was wondering what females - Help.com

How old are you?

ah…the course of true love never did run smooth!
don’t worry…. i’m sure you’ll find someone yet… destiny will look after you. u sound ok to me, but i’m taken. :P

Yeah, I’m curious about age also. So many people feel like they will never date or find that special someone but then I find out their age and they haven’t even gotten out of their teens. I don’t mean to make that sound bad, it is just that my point is, there is so much time yet to find someone. It usually don’t happen overnight or when you want it to. It take a bit of time and we tend to get to anxious and want instant gratification. Relax, be open, and be patient. :)

Oh and to answer your question - ha! - I looked for honesty and openness but I sometimes thought I was unique cuz I had a lot of friends when I dated who looked for good looks and image. That stuff just didn’t matter to me and I actually ended up meeting my future husband over the internet when neither of us were looking for a relationship (especially online). I fell in love with him before I even saw him in person.

OH! See, you have lots of time. Be yourself or you will hate the relationships you end up in if you act like someone else.

You will do fine, just give it time. Do you have a girl in mind?

Keep trying. Rejection is an part of the process. The main thing you need to focus is on is remaining cofident, but sweet. Even when you don’t feel confident, fake it!

I second all of this! Try not to let rejection get you down or stop you. Stay positive, you’ll find her!

This post made me say aw lol… your only 17.. honestly dont rush the dating thing because in all honestly it hurts like hell if it doesnt work out.. and girls at 17 can be really judgemental and cruel(i know cuz i was a 17 year old girl only 3 years ago!) and i have a 17 year old sister. My best advice for you is to stop looking for a “girlfriend” or somebody to be with. Start looking for a good friend who is a girl instead, get close to a girl so that you can start learning how they think and also if she doesnt end up fallin head over heals for you, girls always have friends, and if you show her what a great guy you are she will most definately talk about you with her friends!!
