Grace,

This is normal!  Wether you are 16 or 65. People were meant to be together. However, all the advice given is definitely worth listening to. Clearly you may be feeling left out, lonely, or even as if something must be wrong with you. So focus on your positives. your blessings. What is your special gifts that you can offer the world? This won’t take away the loneliness factor, but it will help you focus on why you were created and why you are special. and remember that it would be a privilege for a boy to want to know you, when you focus on your gifts.

High school is tricky because so many people are just into “looks” and whom they think is cool. But that is not really what a good relationship is about. So while you may want that movie scenario, that stuff is not real, and is highly distorted. take a look at all the relationships movie stars, TV folk and reality people are in that are disasters. they are lonely too. So fill yourself with positive thoughts, with knowing your strengths, with allowing others to see your light and beauty – and it will come. You do have to sometimes work at it, and that comes with trial and error. A lot of trial and error. But look at it this way, you are learning and each time you take a step forward and try to get to know a guy, you are learning what works and what doesn’t. Use your teens and your twenties as a place to practice how to talk with, flirt with and be friends with guys….and you will learn what a true – solid boyfriend will look like and you will eventually find your self in a great relationship. It will come-have faith.

Enjoy the journey Grace!
