Never had a girlfriend

[JakeD14]

This is really starting to bother me because my other friends have had girlfriends except me. I'm not really good friends with any girls to start with and I don't know how I could become friends with them or start speaking with new people without getting rejected. Any advice?

firstly, try not to compare yourself to your friends.

if you end up talking to some girl, and it goes from friendship to more than that, then that is partly luck.

ideally, just try making opportunites, just try being more chatty.. you make friends through friends, so try putting yourself in situations where that can happen, be more sociable and friendly.

most girls like chatting and getting to know a guy first, so try creating those new friendships that can give you the opportunity for something better to happn:)

Yes. I am a junior in HS and until this year I had never had any good conversations with girls; never had a good female friend; never really had the courage (apparently) to just talk to anyone. Something came over me at the beginning of this year. The entire first 3 months or so of school felt unreal to me. It was a very strange feeling but it wasn't a bad feeling, just curious.

This feeling of dreaminess led me to stop giving a crap about most things...whether that have a positive or negative effect on my life (e.g. grades went worse but...)

My social life has never been better. I mean, with the girls. I no longer feel like I have to talk to them as if they would rather hear different things than guys would. They aren't really that different and they enjoy pretty much the same thing as an average guy I guess. I'm not trying to sound like a douche but I'm not an average guy so that might help me relate more to girls...

Anyway, here are the tips:
-pretend that girls are guys
-but learn their limits
-seriously be yourself, don't try to create another persona just to talk to girls. If someone doesnt like your real personality, find another person
-learn to stop caring what other people think of you. Filter yourself less often
-enjoy it. Girls can be really fun to talk with, and almost always have more to say than guys. They are almost conversationalists by definition. You can learn many things from them.

By the way if you haven't figured it out, the first step to getting a girlfriend is getting used to talking with and being around girls. Which reminds me, bask in girls as much as you can, like I kinda mentioned before, they are very entertaining and interesting
