Wow, the answers on here are really great! Try joining some co-ed clubs if there are some available. Even if you just get some exposure to new people, maybe you can meet someone you like. This may sound a little old fashioned, but some girls meet boys (that may go to other schools) if they go to church or the local arcade, or the mall. \n\nAsk your friends, and thank your lucky stars that you have gotten some really great answers right here already! (NOT THE SUICIDE SUGGESTION!) but anything I could say to you besides "broaden your horizons" would only be a repeat...You could also try community organizations, or working with volunteers that help with projects in your community! I think when the time is right, you will find a boyfriend, in the meantime just have a lot of friends, and you do not have to be lonely, there are people in your community that you could help, and learn something at the same time (maybe even meet someone, summer is on the way!). \n\nIf we could just order a man from a catalog, many of them would probably be returned for one reason or another, it's hard to know when you are young what you really want. So the choices are not good where you are, look elsewhere! When the time is right, you will meet someone that you DO like, and he will like you too!\nHave fun!\nruthie~

for starters, no one will be 100% like you. everyone will do something in differently from somebody else...\n\ni suggest you think through these pointers: of all the friends you've made, think of the ones who actually made your day enjoyable. or those friends who listened to you when you were angry or sad. or those friends who you feel so comfortable with you let down your guard. even if they're different from you, these are the friends you should spend time with and get to know them better. you don't make instant friendships unless there's chemistry.\n\nand, i wouldn't suggest you avoid your friends, because there's no guarantee there'll be a person like you in high school. remember everyone is different so just mix around and enjoy :)

you should be happy that you're single cos you'll get to do more things with your life.you should just start hanging out with your friends and just forget about getting a boyfriend now.give yourself more time and you'll have more space since you're single.

Just go slow.  You have lots of time to grow up and figure things out.  Don't give into pressure to have a boyfriend.  The right time will come.  Concentrate on school work and doing the right things.

You don't need a boyfriend until you are done with school and living on your and are ready to start a life. Just live a little and go to Church and find a male friend there. Eventually, he might become the man you want.

Just wait, concentrate on school, and have fun with your friends. Soon enough you'll find a good bf. :)

I don’t mean to sound cynical, but honestly, you’re 12 years old… you have an enormous life ahead of you! You’re going to have plenty of time for boyfriends and relationships, perhaps even with better guys that only want YOU, and don’t have another lady waiting around. \n\nWhen I was in middle school (I’m now in high school), I was in a situation all familiar with yours. I, too, had a guy who also had the “feelings” towards me… but, of course, he had another girl (and hell, maybe others!) whom he liked - oh, I’m sorry, “loved.” And as much as my infatuation grew and grew, I knew he was not the type of guy for me. \n\nBesides, let’s get realistic: most high school loves don’t even make it out alive. You’re in middle school, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to waste my time on instabilities. Not to mention, you’ll most likely get hurt by this boy, too. \n\nI, personally, don’t think it’s something you should gamble. It’s your feelings on the line for some hardly established guy to play on…\n\nP.S. I realize I might sound a little impertinent and perhaps even nagging, but all girls in the world deserve a guy who only has eyes for her without leading anyone on.

it is not true that no one likes you, as u say you feel more confident when your friends are around.  i quess that makes you like able because u have friends.  perhaps you feel uncomfortable on your own  i presume u are young because u go  to school.  just going to school can be distressful and your age is stressful because you are just learning about yourself.  being free and happy comes with a price, and the price is self confidence.  learn to like yourself, and understand your limitations, and that u are a important person.  learn also to accept some of the things u don't like about yourself, and if possible work on these things u don't like about yourself  being more content and self confident in yourself will make u feel more free and happy.  u may see a lot of things u don't like about yourself, and feel, that the guys are not interested in you, because they can see these negative things about you.  that might not be true, it sounds like your must feel negative about yourself, and it may show in your interactions.  don't be too hard on yourself, nobody is perfect.  if u feel more confident about yourself, and have a sense of humor, that may attract more boysl   \ngood luck, hope this helps, and take care of yourself, a new hairdo or a consultation with a beautician can go a long ways

you need to talk to a conselor or a close friend or member of your family. try hanging out with people from other schools. see if that helps.

Here's the best advice anyone can give you or Haley - Neither of you really love anyone (except maybe your families).  At middle school age you don't have the capacity to do anything but infatuate over each other.  She doesn't "pick out" a boy - this isn't the JC Penneys catalog.  She (and you) need to wait until you know what's up.  Unfortunately, if you look at some of the posts on Y!A, some people never know.

The best way to get a boyfriend?  You could go to Boys-R-Us and buy a few freshmen. They're on sale as of today. Buy one, get the other half off. You decide which half you want; top or bottom. \n\nNow, the serious answer: Just hang out more with friends, or cousins, they might have friends you can "hook" up with, or get to know them, become friends, eventually go out. That's how me and my girlfriend met. I was at the start of my tenth grade before I met Samantha, and before her i had never been with a girl. Ive dated but not actually had a girlfriend. But, I hung out with my cousin more, and met my girl through him. I hope my solution works for you, if not, good luck with getting a boyfriend\n\nP.S. Actually my girlfriend is the girl above me, the one who said,"Be yourself." She's a girl of few words...not really, but i guess she forgot how we met. She coulda helped you better than I can,if only she just thought of me when she answered you. Good luck. Dont be fake. You really do have to be yourself.

im 16 and there is nothing wrong with not having a boyfriend now...you should wait to go out with a guy that you really like and not just some loser who doesn't care about you!!!

i would say 'see ya later' and go on with my life. i know it must be hard since you have liked him since the 5th grade but if he doesn't want a girlfriend at this moment, don't wait for something that may never come.\n\njust go on with your life and don't be afraid to meet other guys. you never know, you might meet someone who wants to be with you?
