Girlfriends (boyfriends) and getting them.

[Kuilui]

Yeah... All of my girlfriend's always put the moves on me first. The only advice I can give is don't look, they'll find you. Not really helpful, sorry.

My dad gave me similar advice years ago. I got hit on several times over the years by girls I never paid attention to. Not on purpose mind just never happened. I wasn't really into any of them though. Also the OP said dating at 16 is late...eesh I'm almost 21 and I've never done anything at all. Farthest I ever got was a hug lol.

Well I haven't had any girl problems because the girls I go for most of the time have the same interests as I and we can always talk about everything behind heaven and earth, just be your self and don't listen to all this How I met your mother crap or "players" or anything like that, because people like that are very often terribly terribly lonely my friend.

But getting a boyfriend that's a different story because the guy I'm in love with is in a relationship with another girl >.< She's nice and all but I still hate her guts! XD

will let me independent, and won't talk down to me.

let me independent? i didn't realize independent was now a verb. XD

Hahaha, proofreading is for chumps! (and so are typos, so guess that makes me a lazy chump).

Put yourself out there. Eventually another individual will latch onto you with the power of a crab on steroids. At that point, you've a significant other who demands your constant attention and resources. Congratulations, you lucky successful evolutionary link, you.

I see what you say about confidence...and yet I completely go against it.
Due to some...events...I'm not the most confident man in the world, and yet my girlfriend still loves me wholeheartedly. I guess the real advice is to be yourself. As much of a cliche as it may be, it's true. You can never hope to have a decent relationship if you're trying to be someone else. A good sense of humor never hurts. And good god was I lucky to find a girl who's okay with me being a bloody nerd.

Are you...me? DOPPELGANGER KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!YAAAARGH

OT: Just start talking, and have a little bit of confidence, or if you're like me, think 'f*** it, if I don't do this now I might never get the chance again'. And the guy I quoted has some good points too. Oh and be patient too, don't rush it. I will personally admit to never having a real girlfriend or kissing a girl till I was 20.

I have no problems getting girlfriends... the only problem is I seem to like the people I can't have... ie. my ex.
Yeah, so I'm fucked there until that goes away. I need to do a lot of painful waiting.

Oh? I am lazy too so why not we be lazy together? hmm? XD

I would, but that seems like work.

There is plenty of reasonable advice already but I'd say the key is far more simple than most people realize. All it takes is the courage to ask the person who piqued your interest. Yes, you will get shot down from tiem to time but don't take it personally. That doesn't mean just open with that as your question. Have a conversation first. Even this isn't tricky. All it takes is saying hi and little is asked of you in such a situation. Even if you are rebuked in the initial encounter realize that you have invested nothing more than a greeting. I'm sure most would agree that is a small price to pay for the opportunity to connect with another person (for any reason). If, after a talk you find yourself taken by the person, invite them on a simple date. Something that's easy to walk away from when things don't work out. Chances are very good that the other person may have an interest as well.

I don't know how it happens. I think what attracts me to a guy is confidence, and how inventive they are at getting my attention. No, im not saying write my name on a football stadium or something. Its little things, like, actually bothering to know who I am, not being afraid to get into a debate with me, and not attempting to do your best impression of a leech. Also. I cannot stand uncleanliness. x.x

when a guy is interesting to me, and hints that he would be interested, but doesnt pressure me, it can totally be a turn on. That generally will make me go ahead and ask. If you don't seem all that interested, or try too hard, im not going to go for it.
