Q: Am I Ever Going to Get a Date?

Im going to be 16 soon and ive NEVER been on a date. Is that wierd? my family tells me in gorgeous but i dont see it but im happy with myself. I make friends easily and most people call me a social butterfly, and i talk to guys all the time! its just wierd, when it come to guys my friends always tell me that certain one think im pretty, typical guy stuff, but when it comes to dances and dating ive never been on one, or asked on one for that matter. Ive been offered modeling jobs before so I hope its not that im hideous os anything.

it really frustratingg. I dont know what im doing wrong. I try my best to be a really nice person but im obviosuly doing something wrong

my older sister is absolutely no help. shes been dating guy, her first bf, for almost two years now.

any advice!?

You're not doing anything wrong, but i do want to point out that it's not really about looks! I'm sure you are a nice person so no need to rely on what you look like or how many modeling jobs you've been offered Very Happy

I had never really been out on dates until I was 17 and I'm now almost 20 with the same guy. Just be yourself and stop thinking about finding a boyfriend because somtimes great guys come when you're not paying attention.

Not willing to wait? Who said a guy always needs to make the first move? Good luck!

Well from a guys point of view:
Guys are very shy. Most guys wont go after the beauty queen because we have too much pride and don't want to be shot down, that's why you see a lot more "pretty" girls getting dates than "gorgeous" ones. If you see a guy you want, then flirt a little, he will get the hint.

You're not doing anything wrong at all, just flirt a bit with a guy you like and he will get it. But models usually find it hard to get dates because guys believe that she has guys all over her and she is out of his league.

probably guys are just imitated with you. guys are like that especially if they like you. so don't worry why you haven't had any date yet. you're still young. and believe me, it'll soon come.

I don't really think a rave is a productive place to find a boyfriend/girlfriend.
Nor is it particularly safe either...

Rave

Raves are VERY kool. I do NO drugs whatsoever & have met some talented people there in fact i met a London film director & as a consequence acted in her Vampire Film! Also met a cute Polish boy there......

Whether you do drugs or not doesn't make them safe. The chances of others doing drugs around you are extremely high, and why would you surround yourself with that? Furthermore, why would you tell a 16 year old girl to subject herself to that? Not that she's silly enough to listen...

Kool

yes of course. 16 yrs old better to join some college courses - more productive....learning meeting other motivated people....But i should add I have an ambitious 16 yr old and he is not silly enough to follow the crowd no matter what his surroundings or mates are indulging in....he is venomously against alcohol and drugs. Funnily enough he was invited to a halloween rave last nite and declined saying he had college work to do 4 the following day! Anyhow i do agree much better really to go to college or teenage discos etc....

Well good for your son. I have a hard time believing though that any mother would direct someone to a rave to "meet people"
