How can I get over this?

So I'm a freshman in high school and I feel like a dork because i've never had a boyfriend. All my friends have had one. At dances I feel like a freak because I'm one of the only ones not dancing with a guy. It's hard pretending like I don't care but I really do. I'm going through a real hard time in my life - someone very close to me is dying - and my friends are telling me a boyfriend would help for comfort when they aren't around. Any ways I can get over it? Or any help on getting a boyfriend? Just to let you know, I'm the most shy person I know when it comes to guys for me, but not for other people. Thanks in advance!How can I get over this?
It's funny how when you're in high school the littlest things such as not having a boyfriend will seem like your whole world is crashing down. Seriously, don't worry about stupid things like this. Just because all the other girls are out messing around with guys doesn't mean you have to. The only reason you're feeling depressed about not having a boyfriend is because they're making you feel as if you need a boyfriend or else you'll look like a loser, you don't actually want one! Just be yourself, be happy, in the end that's all that matters.How can I get over this?
omg dont even worry my prettiest freshman friends have never had a bf or even a kiss i didnt get my first bf or kiss till freshman year imma sophomore wait for the right person;]
a boyfriend do not bring happiness; that comes within yourself.

don't worry about that stuff ^ ^, I had my first boyfriend when I was a sophomore!



and boyfriends come and go but the most important thing is your loved ones.( in your case, the person who is dying) share moments with them since they are the ones who will be missed the most


I'm sorry you're having such a hard time right now.



To get support through a time of grief is not a good reason to seek a boyfriend. Turn to family and friends for support.



Meanwhile, open yourself up to boys. I used to be shy, and I just had to make up my mind one day to put myself out there. I'm so much happier and more confident since I did. Flirting is so much fun, and it's a fun way to make a boy know you're interested.



Best wishes.
You don't have to have a boyfriend because you are in High School.. It actually complicates everything. If people are making fun of you for it then they're not your real friends. I'm a senior in High School and I wish I would have paid more attention to some of my school work instead of being with my boyfriend. If you need to talk to someone about that person dying, a friend would be just as good if not better. You can't take a guy to go eat ice cream while sitting on an overstuffed couch watching a total chick flick and expect him to be interested in your feelings. Talk to your girl friends, get a besty and talk to them about whats going on.

Dont worry about not having a boyfriend, thats not a bad thing. Good luck and remember, enjoy your years in High School, they're your only ones!!
