    Question

    It seems like all the guys my age treat girls like crap. But somehow they are the ones that end up dating the nice girls. I try to be a nice guy but it doesn't seem like any girls are interested in me... what do i do?

    Answer

    I think you just need to be patient. Research suggests that the early developing athletic-type teenage boy dates the most attractive girls, but the slower-developing, "nice" guys are actually better friends, communicators, and end up with the best relationships as adults!

    Trust yourself and your instincts - being nice is good and will be rewarded. For now, focus on being a good friend!
