I Don't Have A Boyfriend! Advice?! Help?!

Dear Average Teen Girl,
I am 15 years old, almost 16, and I don't have a boyfriend. I really want one, and feel down and upset. I told my crush that I liked him, and now he is ignoring me, which makes everything seem worse. I don't know what to do. Any advice? How do I get a boyfriend? I have a school dance coming up and have not got a date for it!
From,

Dear I-Just- Want-A-Boyfriend,
I am 17, and have never had a boyfriend. I sometimes feel the same way and wish I had someone, and the same thing happened to me when I told my crush that I liked him. 
You are still young.
You should think about the positive points of not having a boyfriend, yet, in your life.
Why not go to the dance with a group of your girl friends, or not go to the dance and go out with some friends.
Don't worry about not having a boyfriend, and don't change yourself to get boys to like you.
If you wait, the right boy will come to you.

Valentine’s Day: Winning Your Crush Over

DON’T play coy: If you want to get on a certain dude’s radar, he’s going to have to notice you first. If you pretend to ignore him, how will he ever get to know you?

 

DO flirt with your eyes: Show your interest by keeping eye contact for a sec or two and smiling before looking away. You’ll catch his interest and he’ll be intrigued.

DON’T overwhelm him: If you come on too strong by getting up in his face and wrapping your arms around him all class period long, he’s going to be confused and maybe even a bit scared. Desperation won’t win any crush over!

 

DO take it easy: You want to show your interest without being too crazy-in-love because some guys get freaked out by lots of affection from girls they aren’t dating. Brush against his shoulder, put your hand on his briefly…use little signs to show you care.

DON’T hate on love: If playing the moody card is your game plan, prepare to lose this round. Getting into the whole “anti V-Day party” scene is going to send him the wrong message.

 

DO hint at not having a valentine: Casually bring up the holiday when you two are talking, and mention that you’re swingin’ it single this year. You don’t have to act upset or excited about this prospect. Just mention it so he knows, then let it go.

DON’T stalk his social media: Sometimes it can be super-tempting to read up on all his interests on Facebook and retweet every 140-character post he puts up, but the lesson here is hands off! It can be super creepy for him to get all of those notifications.

 

DO make him think of you: If you really want to take the convo to the virtual world, that’s fine. Just remember to make your main way of contact F2F, and try to be the first to leave the convo. By telling him you have to go before he does, he’ll realize he doesn’t want you to go.

DON’T let him rule the world: So you def wanna be with this guy by V-Day, but there’s no reason to let him command every convo and interaction you have. By letting him walk over you, he probably won’t take you seriously.

 

DO take charge: You’re the one showing interest, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to take the conversation where you want it to go. Talk about what you like and your passions, and he’ll realize just how cool you are. But make sure to maintain a balance and ask him questions about him as well!

DON’T attack with candy: When V-Day finally comes, you don’t want to overwhelm him with a dozen red roses and gooey love poems.

 

DO be casual and sweet: Wish him a happy V-Day and give him a kind card. It will show that you’re interested without putting him on the spot.

 

By now that sweetie should be your Valentine. Still a no-go? Try the no-games method: just ask him. Mention that you don’t have a Valentine, and ask him if he’d like to fill that spot. If he’s a decent guy. He’ll probably accept your kind offer.

And if not? Smile and wave buh-bye. At this rate he’s probs not worth your time. So find your gals and don’t let him get ya down. Boys come and go, but your girls are forever!

Please Note:
You are still probably too young to date or have a boyfriend even when your friends are encouraging you and you really want to. 
You might even have more fun holding a small party at home and inviting a couple of friends.
You don't want to stress over boys too much.... it may ruin the fun and the day.
