OK, nobody's answered you so here are a few thoughts.

First, not all men are looking for women who play "hard to get" -- what you want is one who likes who you are anyway, not someone who likes a fake you! Just be yourself, really. Yeah, I know, I'm old enough to be your mother -- but it's true even among guys your age. One of them is out there wishing he could meet someone who is real instead of playing games.

Second, I would say try getting involved in some "co-ed" activities where you are meeting people in situations where the focus in not on meeting people, but on getting something done, doing something you care about: charity work, crafts, bike riding, etc. Then you will be meeting as friends, and just as you made women friends you'll make men friends... and meet their friends... and you never know what happens after that.

Good luck! lupin.

dating can be difficult for anyone so join the millions of teens who are feeling unsure how to start. Go to the things that you naturally enjoy for example if you like basketball show up and start conversation about the players with a true fan, Stay away from too many drinking parties and if you go never leave your drink or leave the first floor espeially in colleges. Class is another place where to meet people with interesting lives and go early enough, just say hello, Dog shows have a great crowd if you like them and dog breeder are passionate about their canines and love to talk and teach. I hung out with boys and loved sports and I'm ADD/ADHD so it was easier to be friends with them so maybe hanging out with the boys is a place to go. Don't be too flirty (the girls) will hate you, don't be sluthy, don't be drunken -----; and if you feel uncomfortable in doing something then listen to the discomfort, don't be gullible , keep a sense of humour ; and when with your friends always have them watch your back and you watch theirs. Never leave with someone after a night of drinking (try not to get drunk) Go ou,t have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself, make eyecontact and smile invite the person over.

I understand! I have had learning disabilities since I was 2 years old. i was always in my own world. Big fan of the arts and music therefore, people took me was the artist, punk lol. But i found music my escape from reality. Where I was brought up it was the cool kids against the the freaks. You can tell I was not the coolest kid in town. I had so much to deal with at that time I wasn't really interested in boys at the time until college then all hell broke lose. I turn into the quite artist type to the party girl which got me into major trouble but out of that chapter of my lie I found a really close friend. That close friend turned into a boyfriend, Probably with marry one day. We are to peas in a pod. People have said he got ADD was not treated or diagnosed but we are same. All I can say is don't get hung up on boys you will find the right one sooner of later, it took me 10 years to get him. The best part is he was out of my league at the time. I always ask him want is it about me because I'm not the hottest girl in town or the smartest it is my personality he says. How fun loving I'm and laid back I'm. You sound a lot like me about 10 years ago. just enjoy life the pieces to the puzzle with fall apart. J
