Your first problem is in your question subject line: "I'm fat and not too pretty" - the problem being that you're lacking any self confidence. \n\nWhen you want to talk to someone, don't think about what you AREN'T, think about what you ARE! \n\nIntelligent, quick-witted, talented. Whatever you may be. And use that. \n\nFunny? Tell him a joke. \n\nArtisitcally talented? Ask him if he draws - do a quick sketch and ask his opinion. \n\nIntelligent? Ask if he understands a problem in class, try to help him out if not - and discuss it with him if he does, or try to understand it more with him.\n\nYou don't have to be pretty or thin to get a guys attention after he speaks to you - that's only if you want him to think "i'd like to get her into bed" on the street. :)

just be your self...act natural, don`t try to impress him by being someone else...and after that either he likes U, or he doesn`t...if he does good for U, U wouldn`t want him to like you for something you`re not and if he doesn`t, U don`t wanna have anything to do with someone who doesn`t like U for what U R...don`t U change for anybody!!! nobody`s worth giving yourself up for!!!

Ask yourself if you really want to date someone who doesn't like you the way you are.  Better to find someone who loves you even if you think you are overweight.\n\nOr you can lose weight, but do it because you want to feel better for yourself, not because some dumb guy expects it.

You're young.. don't start changing yourself to be some body's type. If you do that, all your life you will change into somebody else's "type". \nJust be yourself, and if yourself is not a type for him, then you're definitely someone else's type. Look around you, he's not the only cute guy.

Ew...that's awful!  Your height and weight are pretty average in actuality.  Okay, so you aren't a skinny, boney model, but who is?!  If he's being mean about it, he obviously doesn't care about your feelings.  He only cares about what you look like.  Try talking with him at first.  But if that doesn't work, leave him.  There are plenty of guys out there that will think you're beautiful, even if you gained another 20 lbs.  No reason to stay with someone who makes you feel bad, especially over something as superficial as weight.  Stay true to yourself and good luck!

Never feel that you are not good enough for someone. He may like you for who you are no matter what you think. Just because he is handsome doesn't mean that he isn't going to like you. Just follow your hurt and take things as the come. If you guys do hook up then have a ball and get to know each other. It isn't about looks that make a relationship, it's about what's in it!!! GOOD LUCK

If you are just looking for a guy that likes you for your physical benefits than he will probably slap your but or try to be really nice to you but if you are looking for a guy that likes you for more than what you have to offer on the outside he would respect you, be nice to you, try to be around you all the time(if he is really bold), and talk about you nonstop. (and you probably aren't fat at all)

I have the same problem. What I do is give him compliments. Not strong ones like "your hair looks sexy like that" but something nice, and subtle like "oh hey, that shirt looks really nice on you" or something equally friendly but still flirty enough to make him wonder.

He would pro ably be flattered, and in fact he pro ably feels the same way about you, you just probably seem a little distanced from him because it sounds like you aren't making the effort to be with him alone, as a guy let me tell you we can be really stupid and blind...Let him know but not straight up tell him he looks cute blah blah make it seem like your interested than call his ass!

Don't be anything but yourself. Try starting a conversation with a simple "hello" or compliment. If he doesn't seem interested then move on to someone else. You can't make someone like you. There's someone out there for you and only you.\n\n♥Rachel

Definately tell him and get some closer for you.  I doubt weight had anything to do with, you sound like you are pretty skinny.  So don't go trying to get into the double digits, just stay as you are.  Sometimes some friends should stay as friends, if anymore, could make one feel weird.  Just talk to him, let what you need said, be said.  Stay friends and walk away smiling.  Know this, you are young and have your whole life ahead of you, the right man will come along.  Don't feel insignificant, because he chose someone else.  It just wasn't meant to be.

Well, be on top of your game all the time when you are around him or see him... when you are with your friends, look like you are having a blast!  Guys love a girl that knows how to have fun!  Smile!!!!  A man is attracted to a great smile!  Men are visual creatures and need to be stimulated that way!  Wear nice clothes, I am not talking about trashy or skanky, and you dont even have to show a lot of skin, just look like you took some time to get yourself together!  Don't act needy....men hate the clingy needy girls....If he likes you back, he will get the clue.....\nMake yourself available, but not too available....if he asks you out, dont say yes right away, MAKE HIM WANT YOU!!!!!!!

First and formost you must be yourself becuase afterall, you want him to like YOU. if you act a different way from the way you normally act then it kind of defeats the purpose. I know I would want a girl who was confident in herself and her appearance. Approach him happy with a smile on your face. Not too big because as you stated before, you do not want to look desperate. Me being a guy, I can tell you that if he likes you he will probably just come out and tell you. You won't have to look too deep inside his soul to find out. Good luck with that and I hope all goes well!

If you like him then just tell him and he will be flattered even if he doesn't like you back.  Who doesn't like flattery?\nIf you aren't the brave type then ask general questions like, "So what kind of things do you like in a girl?" Hopefully he'll start listing traits you have and that will give you a clue.

Don't just "like" someone because they are "hot".  remember, he is a person just like you. He looks good?\nSo?  And you think you don't?  Then so will he.  Show him you have a good personality, and maybe he will take notice of you.  OR>>>>  maybe when you least expect it, another boy will show you interest!  \n\nRemember...Like someone because they have a good personality, and they are kind, and good to all people.  That way, you will know he will probably treat you good too.

just be yourself. if you have to change yourself for a guy to like you, then he really doesn't like you. you shouldn't have to do ANYTHING different for ANYONE to like you. your you and if they cant except that then its there lost. don't change a thing!!!

I think just keep making small talk with him.  Becoming his friend first may lead to a closer relationship with him.  It sounds like you're showing interest without being too pushy.  A lot of guys like a girl that is challenging and has her own interests.  I'm glad to hear that you don't want to change your style or compromise your moral beliefs to earn attention from a boy.  \nAnd by the way, congratulations on losing weight.  I know it's one of the hardest things in the world to do.  :O)
