I've never been asked out

yeah, i hAve to get this into the open. I'm 16 years old and no guys asked me out, no guy's ever kissed me and no guy has ever taken an interest in me. I didn't used to care, but I confessed this to one of my friends recently and he (yeah, i have male friends) was all like 'i thought everyone had there first kiss at like 13', and it's got me thinking really. It doesn't help that my best friend is extremely popular with boys and thinks nothing of it, when we were at a festival together, loads of boys spoke to her, I just got some drunk guy resting his hand on my shoulder for like 5 minutes after i tripped over his feet, such is the joys of my life. I'm quite shy and I would never ask a guy out, I'm too scared of rejection especially since a lot of the people I've liked over the years were friends of mine.
My other problem is making friends, I do have a few, but they aren't like proper friends excepting my best friend who is going off to college in September whilst I'm staying in sixth form. So I'm going back to the loner girl I was in year 7 (hopefully minus the bullying this time).
I'm going to post a picture just to make sure I'm not utterly repulsive.



Edit:This is a really old thread, please read all the way through before replying

 

I think you're adorable. Then again, I'm a girl, so maybe that's not much comfort.
But you are in no way repugnant.

Not everybody gets their first kiss at 13; there is no set age for such things. It happens when it happens. It happens when it's supposed to.

You say that you're shy, which is probably something you exude to other people. Most guys are not going to hit on the shy girl because it takes more work for her to open up, versus the loud and outgoing girl who opens up without prodding.

Take baby steps towards becoming comfortable in your own skin. Confidence is the biggest attraction factor for most. I'm also very shy myself, and on days when I let my shyness and low self confidence get the best of me, I talk to no one and no one talks to me.

On days when I cast aside those demons, however, I find that people are more willing to speak to me and I to them.

 

that's a load of shit that most people have their first kiss at 13! what ya need to work on is your self confidence! you are beautiful so no more putting yourself down okayy?
when you feel ready and you like someone YOU should make the first move on a guy, instead of waiting for them to come to you.
six form is jokes, it's a lot different from high school. most of the nasty people leave and it's easier to make new friends. just be yourself, smile at people and you'll have friends in no time

 

Maybe some guys ARE intrested, and are just shy.

 

Wanna go out?

 

Or Girls...

 

Hey, don't worry about it. Hell, I didn't get my first kiss till I was 18. Age is just a number anyways, don't feel compelled to obsess over it. And yeah, rejection sucks a lot, but hey, it's life and neither you nor anyone else will make it through life without a few scars.

Best of luck to ya! You'll find someone, sometime, somewhere...

 

Not to worry, you are a cuttie. If I have a son close to your age, they'd be giving you a foot massage and kissing your neck. They take after their old man.
Not to worry boy's your age are shy, they'll come around.....

 

wanna go out?

 

I was 17 before I ever had a girlfriend
I am 18 now
it's been nearly 7 months and we are both happier than ever

my brother was in his 20s before he ever had one
he is 25 now, engaged, and his fiance is pregnant

your time will come.

 

Ur shyness and social anxiety could really make a large shield. Maybe guys are AFRAID to ask YOU out. U are so quiet, and maybe unapproachable, because you seem to have more self confidence in their eyes, guys like girls that show them a signal that its ok to make a move, theyre afraid of rejection too! and no your not repulsive! your very cute! my sister is alot like you, and she has the SAME problems! and just reading your thread reminded me of her SOOOOO much. and my sister is beautiful! but shes just too shy and unaproachable!

 

oh, also time takes a big part in that as well., when your ready, it will happen. All of my friends got married around 18-20 yrs old, and I felt like why am i not married too???? Now theyre all divorced, and i got married when i was 26, and i couldnt be more happily married! it takes some of us a long time to find our soulmates! but it is SOOOOOO worth the wait! good luck to you. and u will find someone for you in no time! just dont put so much pressure in it! relax.

 

Hey i haven't been kissed or asked out - its the 20th century if you like a guy then ask him out thats what i do and it works for me plus trust me i am so not pretty!!

 

Don't worry...you'll get asked out one of these days. I've never asked a guy out before. They always ask me. It's been that way since 6th grade. Your not ugly...your really cute. And don't ever be scared to do something. If you like a guy and he's single then ask him out. And if your not really outgoing then just write him a note. I'm outgoing so I would just ask in person if I ever had to ask a guy but you seem like the kinda shy type. So write him a note. And if you don't think you can manage that,even though it's the worst way to do it and the least personal; just ask him out over the phone or on the internet...something. But first make sure he's single...lol. I had my first kiss and like 12 or something...so not everyone has it when they're 13. Just hang in there...some guy will like you and if he's not the type to make the first move then you do it. 82% of guys like it better when the girl makes the first move.

 

You are not alone at all. I'm 18 and never had a boyfriend or first kiss. i've been asked out/ knew someone liked me only a few times, but it's never been anyone that i like. i'm also shy and wouldn't want to confront ppl either, but i don't think its anything to really worry about. just go with the flow. Ur still young and have plenty of time for things to happen. and ur picture is very cute, so it has nothing to do with ur appearance, or even your personality. some guys are just shy like you are, so they just may be afraid to approach you also. so, i think if you really like a certain guy, maybe u should make the first move, but if not then ur time will definitely come.

 

i'm 32 years old, married, and have never been asked out. go figure.

 

your a very pretty girl, they just got straight to the point, huh.

 

The first time my husband met me, was 8 years ago at a party at my house, hes was drunk as fuck and told his friends he was gonna come up to me and ask me to marry him. but they told him to cut it out, hes drunk, and i had a boyfriend. who knew? 8 years later and We DID get married!

 

nah. i just always had to do the asking. t wasn't as scary as i thought it would be.

 

no it really isnt. Guys LOVE it when the girl asks them out, then they dont have to be the nervous one.
