Why don’t guys like me?

I’m nice, smart, fun, Some what pretty, I’m young and I can love if I had the chance but I can’t get guys to like me for long term. I’m not good enough I guess but I’ve tried with certain guys and they turn me down. I can’t get the guys that I want, the only guys that come to me are the ones I would never date! I do not drink or smoke yet only guys that drink and smoke want me. I don’t like football yet only football watching drinkers try to talk to me.

I am not god at flirting really, yes I flirt but I think I try way to hard and it freaks the nice guys off and they talk to me again. I’m not saying the football guys are not worth my time but I’m not into to those types of dudes.

I know this will sound weird but I like big guys with simple lifestyles. The perfect man for me would be a smart, in his 20’s, chubby, white, simple, shy guy. Yet the load mouth jocks try to hit on me.

I’m not home girl, I’m not a jock, I’m not a preppy, I’m expressive, I’m into art, Music, jazz and I wear a lot of dark colors but guys that are the same way won’t even look at me!

What do I do? Stay single and alone forever?

Well, since I am the moderator and know these things, I can confirm Queen is not the post writer, she was just rounding up some people who might have some advice. (Here is where I raise a quizical eyebrow at Lobo.)

Personally, I think this is just something Anonymous has to be patient about. I can’t say what your problem is or if you even have a problem. You sound young, and it may be that you are looking for a relationship when guys your age are just looking to screw around without real commitment. But if you are patient, eventually a good prospect may come your way. Also, don’t give up and stop meeting new people.

Oh wait. I was fooled about who wrote the post to begin with. My apologies to Lobo who seems to have been accidentally associated as the posts’s writer. This is a bug I will get fixed.

Not sure. There is something buggy going on here. Anyone who touches this post get’s attached as the owner. Like I said, I’m reporting this issue to ChuySkywalker so it can get fixed.

Im an Artsy person too, I do ballet, love jazz and classical, and I once only whore black and dark colors in my life. I LOVE rocker bois! But I am not like that anymore (clothing wise)

U can’t change who u are, but maybe the clothing is affecting ur relationships with the nice shy guys you want. But that is all against what I believe in, changing the way u r and stuff that is.

Im not a good flirt either. When flirt it’s either too shy, or to loud and crazy. This is something you can’t rele help.

Don’t think you are hopless. I used to date the guys that turned out to be Bisexual at the end of the realtionship, and that was somthing I didn’t want. But eventually this guy I am dating is evrything I have dreamed of, even tho we r going thru rough times.

Don’t think ur love-life is over, let love come too you and eventually the rite giy will find you. Date other people, and people who like you. I NEVER wanted to date a jock, but I am and it has been wonderful so far. and I love him, so give some of these guys a chance too, u never kno what u will find. But don’t looked too hard, that will discourage you cuz that is how I can get, let everything come to you.

Patience is the key, that’s wut I found out! : )

I’ve got kind of the same problem, except the other way around. Im a guy, and none of the girls like me. I dont know what to do either.
Just try not worrying about it for a while. If you dont put yourself out there, the guys will think, “hey, she’s not a slut. she seems pretty nice.” And then they’ll talk to you. It might not work for a while, but then when you are going to give up, it’ll happen.

its not over hun. U know inside that u are perfect. Just wait and see who comes to you and maybe try someone in that range of people who you dont wanna date you may be suprised. Boys dont express their feelings someone you like could like you alot they may just not act like it. so keep ur head up and keep truckin u’ll be fine!!

opposites attract-
swear down.

im 15 single and only had 1 bf which i wish i never had dated in the first place.
he was rude to me, kept calling me dum and never really appreciated me. i feel lonely and a bit depressed but the only thing that kees me going everyday is the fact that, all of this will blow over-one time,or another, and i WILL find a boy that does like me for me. not for the colour of my skin, for how light skinned i am, not for sex, money or just because they feel bored and they feel they can take advantage of me whenever they feel like it. (messing me about like some flightless bird!) the whole reason y i didnt want 2 start datin ppl wuz bcuz i knw boys wud just do something that would get me upset and wont even bare thinking about i wud do if i weerent as strong minded as i am. i may seem sensitive on the outside but inside the minds too dark and distrubing to see. right about now, boys are just a waste of time in MY life. they just mess me about and arent worth the time. theres only oe person i9 should be looking after and thats is me. if u dont then LITERALLY, no one will. if u let yourself go and focus on other ppl then that means that person will have twice the care and attention and you wont have any and if it was meant to be like that then u wudnt have a body of your own. every1s got a body and every1s got a mind, they use theirs for themselves and u use urs.
p.s. he whole BOYFRIEND THINGis wayyyyyyyyyyy to degrading and depressing, no point, they’re just going to end up hurting u over and over again. its awful :(

YOU’RE ALL BEAUTIFUL! I’m a very confident person, and i think I’m pretty, im just shy. The guys that I like are the ones that see you when you think you’re invisible, and talk to you when you’re alone at a party. Those are the only guys worth your while. :) Good Luck on finding your Prince Charming
