I'm now a freshman in college and now am more confident and can be myself. The thing is, I still don't have a boyfriend. There's been a few guys that were interested but none that fit my criteria of being smart, funny, cute, and Jewish, among other things. I just don't know if this is typical. I mean, are there lots of great girls who are single? Or do I still have some issues that I have to work out before I can find a great guy who I like and who wants to be with me?

 It's possible your standards are too high. Or maybe you just haven't met the right guy!
If you find you're rejecting every guy you meet because of this, that or the other thing, it might be time to start giving some of those guys a chance. You don't have to do too much--just spend time with them and let them get to know you, and you get to know them.
Another good thing to do is just to spend time with guys as friends. It might be confidence-building to see that men can enjoy spending time with you, because you're a likable person.
I hope this helped!
