okay, i have been in your shoes so i can understand where you are coming from, its not easy dating  a white guy,most times when i and friends go out (they'd stare, smile, wink), they do all that but never approach, 2ndly am still a virgin, am 19 and am in my 3rd year of university..so u know what....take this from me....don't worry..talk to people, being shy can be very good but you need to come out of the cocoon okay (at your own pace) don't mind what everybody says, it's your life.....i saw your pics and your'e a pretty girl so just go with the flow for now......i was also raised to feel the guy had to make the first move,  but you soon realise its a 2 way street (someday your'e gonna feel daring and you'll go for it) just take things easy.....when it comes, it comes..if not go out there and get it (cautiously)......as for having a child like face...watever....it's your face.....if they aren' t impressed by that wow them with your mind.......\nhope this helps......

your not too young.\n\nbut if you need to ask how to get one, there must not really be a guy that you have on your mind yet. \n\npretty much just be yourself. dont push yourself to be easy.  to try to get a guy, because then hell tell all his friends that your easy and youll just be used... you have to look for a nice guy who will respect you and youll be happy with. find a guy that shares some intrests with you.\n\nalso dont act like a ditz. youll just down grade yourself into looking like an idiot.\n\ngood luck.

here is a little formula I like... your age -7 multiplied by 2. IT tells you the oldest you can date and it will work. (14 -7) x2 = 14.... (13-7) x2 =12 (hence its broken there for 13 is too young to date.)

my best advice would be to just go out on a date...it doesn't have to be with someone you're attracted to if that's easier...maybe a male friend...someone you know will me nice to you...so you can see how it should be.  Maybe meeting someone someplace like church would help...or a group in your area for people who've had abuse in their lives.

Midwestern USA female\n\nI am about 18 years past my dating days, but back in the day I normally would wait for the guy to call for the first couple weeks of a relationship.  However, if I wanted to kiss someone, I normally did. Once someone said, "I was going to get to that."   \n\nThere were dances you could ask guys--it was expected--never had good luck with those.\n\nMen definitely approached and I usually informed my parents of dates, there were no restrictions--except when I was 17 and was flirting with a 24 year old grad-student--I got a bit of a lecture.  I had a curfew 11 on school nights and 1 on weekends.  I didn't starte dating until I was 15.     \n\nThere are varied physical intimacy from where I am from. I was pretty conservative.

Look at your profile of questions asked, I think you need to decide if 4 months has been enough? Are you looking for a relationship that will one day result in marriage, looking for a relationship so you're not alone, or are you looking for sexually adventure?\n\nI don't think you'll find your future lifetime husband at a bar or club. And you really won't find a one-night stand at church.\n\nMaintain an active lifestyle. If you go workout at the gym, make yourself available to be asked out by guys there. You'll have something already in common.

I had the same problem when I first moved here (Texas).  I came from Upstate New York, where guys are way more foreward---  people are more reserved here in that way, it seems.  Put yourself out there---  ask someone out for coffee, ask to meet for lunch, you know, little "safe" dates.  After a few of these, you should know yourself if this is a person you really want to date.  Don't do the bar scene dating---  you meet so many crazy, wild people who don't really want a relationship.  Another idea:  ask close friends or relatives to "set you up".  Or, you may try Yahoo! personals.  It sounds risky, and may be, but I met the most awesome man online 14 months ago and we have an incredible relatioship!

Become a whole and complete person.\n\nGet a hobby or two, or six. Learn new things, travel to new places, spend time meeting and hanging out with new people. Do all of this for you, not to get a boyfriend.\n\nInevitably, one of the many new people you meet will be a boy whom you find attractive, and who finds you attractive. Since you'll have these hobbies, and you will have been travelling, you'll be a very interesting person as well. This will interest him, and he will ask you out.\n\nOr, you'll learn how to be bold enough to ask him out. Either way.\n\nOh, one more thing: for the love of all that is holy, stop using the word "like" in the middle of sentences. I guarantee that at least a couple of boys who would have asked you out decided not to do so because of that annoying habit, just like if they saw you biting your nails.\n\n"I want a boyfriend, because my friends are going away. What do I do?" is the proper way to say it, and that'll attract a far better class of boy.

It isn't easy getting back into the dating scene but the good news is that it is possible.  Bookstores are a great starting place because you know that you already have that passion for reading in common with people there.  Start paying attention to who you see there and just like back in high school take time to simply say hi every time you see them.  Look into other interests that you have and how you can connect with similar people by pursuing those interests.  The Internet is actually not a bad place to look either though you do have to be careful and fight through all the idiots.  I would say that the Internet is a lot like the old bar scene where there were a hundred losers per every good person there.  Have faith, I survived to find love again and so will you.

No rush!  I have a daughter who is 18, slim and attractive, and has not dated yet.  Her schooling is more important to her.\n\nThe best dating will happen in your 30s, if you are not married by then.\n\nKissing just leads to other stuff.\n\nWhat do you say to him?  Ask him for help on something as an icebreaker.  You will be able to tell if he likes you after you guys interact a little while.

Go to many many local events such as concerts etc, join a club such as line dancing if your into that or a bowling leag. Go to every event your friends may have, a wedding party etc. You can also place an ad in the paper or search for a singles dating place/party in your area online, we have them here in town and i need to go there since im single myself lol. Yahoo personals can be a lot of help too, you just need to be honest about youself and know what you want and be clear in your profile, dont leave anything out such as a picture of yourself, i wont click on any profile without a picture.\nMatch.com and Harmony.com are 2 very good places to place a personal as well, just make sure you fill everything in and it may get you somewhere, oh and keep it local because you dont want to travel thousands of miles to meet and then find there is no sparks. Before meeting her make sure you know A LOT about her, never jump into it and dont believe everything she may tell you and always reply to her e-mail, communication is the keyword when dating online.

Have a friend set you up on a date.  Or, take classes at the local college.\n\nYou will meet someone that shares your common interests.

Absolutely, I am a true believer in that. Just start small. Try new things like going to the gym, joining some type of organization that will get you around new people. You may even meet new friends that way. You may even find someone and ask them out on a date. Take things slowly to find out what you really want and don't want. If your really interested in dating people now, try a dating service or try online dating, just becareful and use common sense. Definitely don't rush into anything! Take your time and look around!

Dating is really more challenging than it sounds. We are trained for every other social setting, but like having your first baby, there's no manual than can really prepare you. Most of us flounder and make mistakes and learn from them, and it sounds like you're in that state. Give yourself permission to not be perfect at something you're learning to do, and let what has happened in the past become a tool to take you where you want to go. Here's a site with some tips and ideas: http://www.vitaminsdiary.com/dating/\n. If you keep trying, the man you're looking for will come. \n\nRegards,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592
