Do I have to be popular to snag a BF?

I’m not a popular girl at my school. Does this mean I’ll never get a boyfriend in my teen years?

HIS ANSWER: “Absolutely not. For most guys popularity isn’t that big of an issue and for the majority of us it won’t have an effect on whether we like you or not,” says Langston, 15. “As for the guys who use popularity as a deciding factor in relationships, well they aren’t the guy for you and you will be much happier without them.”

DECODED: Boys so don’t care about popularity! Honestly, they think all the social climbing and back stabbing is way unattractive – guys just want a sweetie who will treat them well, and whether you have a million friends or like to hang solo, it’s your personality that’ll draw 'em in. And those guys who actually do care? Trust me, ya don’t want to get anywhere near 'em – that’s a major sign that they’re not worth your time.

YOUR MOVE: Don’t worry, chica! It doesn’t matter if you aren’t popular, so don’t waste time trying to improve your social standing. If your classmates would rule you off because you don’t sit at the “right table,” look for boys outside of school who aren’t so shallow. Be confidant and let your fabulous personality shine and you’ll have quality boys lining up in no time.

all the good guys in my school are the popular guys.. the others are either the nerds, gays, or just plain weirdos. so in my school if you want a good guy, you have to be popular.. so id say the best advice in here would be to go after a guy from a different school! i found one from a different school and he actually got to know the real me, and not just my social place.. Smile

Wow, sorry, but this seems like kind of a silly question to me. My boyfriend and I are self-declared nerds and would NEVER have been considered "popular", but we're unbelievably happy with each other. Interestingly, on the last day of school, a whole gang of popular girls came up to us and told us - in complete honesty - that we were adorable together.

Boys in my middle school only date popular girls so I hope that changes in high school because it seems like girls and boys date each other for popularity and not because they really like each other.

MOD MOD MOD!!!! so im going to the mall really soon, and i want to break out of my shell and talk to some guys.. haha, i know that might sound weird, but do you have any tips on how do start a cono or introduce yourself? thanksss




Hey girl, that's tough when you're in a public space like the mall. Maybe complimenting a guy on something he's wearing or asking one for directions? It's the most practical way.
