How do the rest of cope with not having the opposite sex finding you attractive? Up until this point in my life I have not been concerned with it; hoever, lately I find myself more and more aware of it. It is difficult to not let me effect me and I just need some positive encouragement... something I can not get from my friends at this point. Anything will be greatly appreciated.

I'll let you know when they stop finding me attractive. I don't know...lol... I currently stand 6' and am a size 10 and have a boyfriend and guys who hit on me all the time but when I was bigger (16) I still did some dating but my selection of guys was smaller. Granted, I was still in highschool then but I won't lie, bodies are important to guys and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Not that they all want tiny or girls with the best bodies, they just don't usually want sloppy unhealthy bodies. I'm sure some guys find you attractive and if not, you just need to put yourself out there more. Good luck.

oh and about how i cope with it... I just move on. I know im not ugly and i know that sooner or later im going to get a boyfriend, its the inevitable. SO while im waiting whats the use of worrying about it. By the way there are lots of guys out there that prefer their girls with some extra sweetness. I also think that as i am a sophomore in highschool i have more important things to care about, right now in my life im improving myself and my body. Im enjoying my friends and my family and just being me.

Not everyone goes out in highschool. Yeah your going to have that crush and your going to wish to god that he will like you. I know its hard to not think about how great it would be to have a boyfriend, but just enjoy the experience of going out with your friends, being single,and just having fun. Dont think that guys dont think your cute, they DO!, believe me you will be amazed.
