I always seem to attract the wrong guys......

Hello=) Ok, well i'm a girl in high school and I seem to always attract the wrong guys. The guys that actually like me and try to start something, are always the guys that I am completely UNINTERESTED in. They're always the total opposite of the type of guys that I like. On the other hand, the guys which I DO like, always turn out to be nothing more than a friend. It's happened to me twice this year, when I really liked a guy, and they didn't like me the same way. One of the problems might be that I miss-read guys. For example, one of the guys that I really liked, I met in one of my classes and he was a grade level above me, but he would flirt with me every once in a while and he always seemed eager to talk to me and also,just the way he talked to me, made it seem like he possibly liked me. But, he never actually showed a strong sign of liking me, and we ended up not being friends anymore. Another thing is that I wasn't always myself around him and I sometimes felt self concsious around him, it's not like im not pretty or anything I just felt like he was too good for me, you know? And then the second guy I liked was in the same grade as me, and I liked him a lot more. I was always myself with him and I always felt 100% comfortable around him. He's also some-what shy, yet he showed a bunch of signs which made it obvious that he liked me at least a little. He would sometimes get nervous when we talked, and he always tried to start a conversation he also would smile at me alot and even his good friend, noticed something. Yet,again! he said he didn't like me as anything more than a friend. I'm also really picky with the guys so maybe that has something to do with it, but if i'm not attracted to a guy why try you know? So is it normal,to miss-read guys often or are some guys just really shy?

    I could have written this back when I was in hs. It will get better with time. Anyway this is normal and being picky is good. Don't worry if it doesn't work out it's for a reason. I was super close with this guy in hs and I always thought he liked me, he gave HUGE signs like hugs, flirting etc... and we stayed friends off an on but nothing ever came if it. We even stayed friends in college cause we ended up having classes together.... And yet he tells my bf to break up with me because I'm a slut and he hates me and I have problems.... WTF?!?!? Obviously he was jealous but still. Guys are nuts! Oh and my other guy friend who I really liked in hs nothing ever came of it then he contacts me a couple years later, says he always liked me and wants to have sex. Again WTF?!? Anyway the guys you mentioned are probably shy who knows.

    Some guys are shy, some guys make it obvious that they like certain people, and some guys can't make up their minds.

    I feel like most people make up their minds and make their likings more obvious as they grow up more.

    Sorry that I probably wasn't much help, but your story sounds pretty normal for high school. Also, I don't think that you should think that someone is "too good" for you. I mean, maybe some people think that way but it can be hurtful to your self-esteem.

    You have to put yourself out there, and date a few losers before you can tell the difference between them and a keeper! Good luck with your choices!
