    Question

    My friends and family tell me that I'm attractive, but sometimes I don't feel like I am because I don't have a boyfriend. I've had two, but I wasn't attracted to them. I went out with them for no reason which doesn't seem like a good thing to do. So how do I attract a guy to like me? Is there even a way to do that?

    Answer

    It sounds like you are already attractive to boys, and are not very interested in those relationships right now. Maybe you should focus on what does interest you and being interested in boys will come when it is the correct time. There is no hurry and most people who get involved with boys wish they had waited. Trust yourself!
