Well, I am 15 years old and I love the idea of love. But the thing is I dont have a boyfriend and I want one really bad. It seems as if all my friends have one and its like no one is there for me. I guess what I'm asking is; How on earth do I get a boyfriend?

(I have had boyfriends before and my longest relationship was 13 months)

mrg123 agony auntI think the answer remains pretty much the same to be honest, are you interested in any of these boys as more or are you simply saying you are not because you want them as more as individuals because you want one in general. Maybe none of them are the right type for more?

ilanah tromans agony auntaw i know exactly how you feel, but you cant force yourself to like someone it just happens naturally, but trust me you will find someone, just speak to boys as mates and flirt with them, chances are you'll fall for one of them it always happens to me, just tske things slowly and out of the blue you'll find someone when your least expecting it, hope this helps!

CassadeeT agony auntOkay, I didnt mean to sound like "omg i wannnnnnnt a boyfriend like i need one to be happy" no I meant like yeah I want a boyfriend, but I'm not dependent on having one. Its just nice to have one. All I wanted was like advice on how to talk to them or like get them to like me. Cause I have a lot of guy friends but thats kinda all they will ever be just friends cause they are like brothers to me.

Well, I hate to tell you this but all the good men will be terrified that you are so desperate for a boyfriend. All the bad men will jump to the chance if they think they can get away with it.

You need to slow right down. Getting a boyfriend actually isn't that hard - getting the right one is, and with the attitude "I want a boyfriend really bad" is something that will put guys off.

If you want a guy, you need to be cool, you need to be yourself, and you need to have your own life. Putting all your happiness on the idea of a boyfriend is a bad idea - no man can make you happy all the time.

So, slow down, step back and enjoy your own life. Get to know guys, get to know how we think, understand us more if you really want love - because if you come across as desperate, very quickly you'll attract either no men, or the wrong man.

This is not the kind of thing which you force yourself into. Well, you love the idea of love and you want a boyfriend. It'll be beautiful. But if you rush things and date any guy just for the sake of it, you'll not feel the connection and thus, it'll not work out that well. When you'll fall in love, you'll know it. Then, go for it.

mrg123 agony auntWell, i'm 30 and your longest relationship is only 7 months shorter than my longest so I have to start off by saying hats off to you for that. My advice to you is don't go looking and dont think about it too much because its absolutely true these things tend to come out of blue. Also, if you are looking you tend to look in the wrong place and I can imagine you giving too much, too quickly because you want this so bad.

Also, you have kinda contradicted yourself by saying;

"It seems as if all my friends have one and its like no one is there for me"

then

"I have had boyfriends before and my longest relationship was 13 months"

Clearly there are people out there for you and in time you will find them. In the meantime I think you need to chill out, be yourself, have some fun, enjoy your teenage years and the right person will find you at exactly the right time. Good luck :)
