I need some help…
So, I am 17, homeschooled, and live sort of in the middle of no where. Is there any advise you peeps could give me on how to meet girls? There isn’t many sports that I could sign up for, because they are all school system inclusive. Help?

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Here is my advice:
You will soon be a legal adult: Move.
Do you have a job? Lots of people who date meet at work.
Aww.. Hmm… Well, are there any activities that you can sign up for that are provided by the community rather than the school system? Like a habitat for humanity or a volunteer program. You could start volunteering at a nearby hospital. Not only will it look good for when you’re applying to college, but that could be a good way to meet girls as well. And as its for a good cause, it’ll make you seem like a caring and considerate guy, which a lot of girls look for in a guy. ;)
You could also get a job… see what places are hiring in town and go apply. A lot of your co-workers might just be females your age.
your local school! we have kids here that are home schooled. the moms just go to the school and ask for them to be included in the sports, dances ect…they let ya!
They don’t let me. I’ve tried.
And I do work. At walmart. The only people who work the night shift like me are old asians. like 80. There are some girls my age, but they… aren’t my kind of girls.
Aww, well what are your kind of girls? perhaps if we knew more about the kind of girls your looking for, we could help you figure out where to find them.
I would prefer a christian one. not one who uses the f-bomb every other word of goes out and gets stoned. At the same time, I don’t want one that is super uptight about every thing. I dunno. Someone who isn’t afraid to be stupid and have fun, but is well set in her faith.
I know it is a lot to ask for… I go to church, and have been to others with no luck.
I work at The Home Depot part time (you have to be 18 to work there) and I know many nice young women and young men your age who date each other. The young nice ladies are out there, don’t give up hope or faith!
Does your church have youth rallies?
Hmm.. well.. are you sure there aren’t girls who go to your church that fit that standard? Have you looked into joining a youth group with your church? That would be a nice way to meet kids your age that feel the same way as you do in terms of your religious beliefs. :)
Ask your parents about maybe joining a summer camp this summer, and do some research and see if you can find any religious summer camps in your area. Or on Sunday when you’re at church, ask around or see if they have any signs posted up.
I have. In any place that is within a 2 hour drive, you need to be 18. I’m already in two youth groups, and I’m looking for a new job.
One more thing, dont lower your standards on what you are looking for in a woman either. God will send you the right girl. Are you going to be graduating this year and attending college? Lots and lots of young women attend college.
no. I have one mo year before college. I thought I had found the perfect girl, but she doesn’t feel the same way. I’m not going to stop looking tho.
As you shouldn’t! I truly believe that God created someone for everyone, and somewhere out there there’s one specific girl for you and when the time is right, you will find each other. As Laurie said, don’t give up hope. :)
You’ll also find that its easier to find what you’re looking for when you least expect it or when you aren’t trying. Just let nature take its course and it’ll happen on its own.
I know, but I have been single my whole life, and I feel a tad alone. It kind of sucks.
King_sik, your life has just begun! Sit back and enjoy the ride!!!!
Tell me about it, but I’m just being patient as of right now. I have my whole life ahead of me to find the guy for me and when the time is right, I will. You just have to keep reassuring yourself that the same will happen for you.
But what if it doesn’t?
My biggest fear in life is living out my days alone.
You are WAAAAAAY too young to be worrying about that. So, stop right now! I didn’t start dating until I graduated school, and I went to a public school. So dont worry.
Don’t think that way. Negative thoughts will never get you anywhere in life. You just need to remain positive. I know sometimes life may seem hopeless, but you can’t give in. Its really easy to, but you need to hold out hope and try to be as optimistic as possible. Listen to Laurie and enjoy your youth while you still can. I’m 20 years old and I’ve never had a boyfriend yet and I’m surviving. Right now my main focus is on school and my grades. My love life will happen when God wants it to happen.
I worry about EVERYTHING. I can’t help it. It’s just eating at me and I can’t stand this feeling of being alone.
Worrying is a part of being human. You just have to learn to control what you worry about and how you worry about it. Never, ever give up hope, love is out there for you. My first date wasnt until I was almost 19. Just because you are 17 doesnt mean you should have a girlfriend. Focus on you :)
Why do you hate yourself?
Go out to a mall or something on a weekend then find a cute girl.. just put yourself out there and be confident
Just go for it, meet some friends, get some best friends. Just go out there and have fun.
