Lately though it seems that I can't attract or meet any new guys, one's that are my age. However, I seem to be bringing in loads of attention from attractive men ranging from 29 to 36. They're all very handsome and successful, and I'm aware of what they really want from me, so I don't get involved. I won't lie, the attention is nice, but why can't I catch the eye of someone my age? I just don't understand... Does anyone have any advice, preferably from a male's perspective...? Reply to this Question

Wow old guys like you but your age does not. At seventeen it seems like the world but who cares. When you are not looking for a relationship and trying to help others the right person falls into place. At this age you are so busy you do not want a guy. Be friends cause until they know what they are going to do they are worthless to you, unsettled and immature, so enjoy them as friends its less intimidating and way more fun. That way you can concentrate on school college and the whole life in front of you. That sounds stupid but enjoy all the great qualities you have and thank whatever for not liking freaks that are seeking underage ladies.

It's nothing you've done wrong - they're just intimidated by your looks, your brain and your confidence.
I would say, be a little more proactive when you are interested in a guy your age. You might need to convince him that you're interested before he'll believe it! Start a conversation, ask him out to a movie/concert or whatever, and be a little more transparent with your feelings (once you think he's a good guy) than you normally would think necessary.
Oh, and kudos for not falling for one of those older men - chances are if they would date a 17 year old (no disrespect to you of course) they are not as great and successful as they appear. Good luck to you!
