How to get a boyfriend by ourzeitgeist

"Time is odd that way"

How I did it: It's a little over-dramatic to say it took me 18 years, because I obviously wasn't looking for a boyfriend when I was 2 months old. But it is something I feel as though I've been waiting for my whole life.

I kept asking myself what was so wrong with me that no guy was interested? What was I doing wrong?

I still don't know the answer to those questions, but I do have a boyfriend now, just recently. I am still fascinated and astonished by what he finds he likes in me, and the idea that he likes me at all.

Looking back, I can see that I've had prospects, I just never had the nerve to say something to them. I guess the key is just that we can't sit back and wait for guys to come to us. I told my boyfriend that I liked him a lot, and that's what did it. He would never have been the one to admit that first.

Now I don't regret not having had a boyfriend all those years. Not really. It makes me special, I guess. My boyfriend likes it anyway.

Maybe, to all you out there who haven't gotten a boyfriend yet, consider that you're worth something extra and it will take a unique person to see that. (No offense meant at all to girls with boyfriends.)

Hurt

How I did it: I loved him and tried to help become an appreciative, clean and loving person. He doesn't care about the important things in life and I have enough to do now, with our son and raising him to be a good person, and I don't have any more time to teach a person who doesn't want to learn.

It made me

How I did it: I went on a marching band trip to florida and my boyfriend's high school also went. we were in the same section, so we ended up sitting and standing (but mostly sitting) by each other for practice and performance and we really hit it off. I asked him if he had a facebook (cause I'm that lame) and he gave me his name, so I looked him up when i got back to the hotel that night. A few months later my friend got sick of me talking about wanti… Read how I did it…

Happy

How I did it: At first my boyfriend and I were just friends but eventually it changed.  Then with time we both realized we deeper feelings for each other.  Now were together and I am so happy to have him in my life.  I hope everyone is as successful as I am!  My biggest advice is stop looking and it will happen.

    Ah-ha Moment! 1 day ago

    I think I have put too much emphasis on getting my ‘ideal’ guy that I think I will just let it go. I need to get my priorities right and stop fixating on the guy I like. I reckon he knows I like him so if it was meant to be it will happen.I have to look after myself first and just have fun!

    Slowly looking better :) 6 days ago

    Okayy… It’s complicated. I like this new guy and we have so much in common and everything and we talk and stuff and it’s kinda flirty but idk. I’m kinda old fashion and i let the guy make the first move but i don’t wanna wait too long cuz i’m pretty sure he likes me. ugh… why can’t this be easier? But i’m at a better place than i was a month ago. So it’s looking better but i’m hoping it gets better from here :)

    I want a relationship where you can talk on the phone to the other person until sunrise. I am falling for this guy but it’s not like that, he doesn’t say nice things or compliment me. He said saturday he didn’t know “if we should keep doing this”. That was the night he slept over but we didn’t sleep together, then that morning… we fucked. confussing much??

    Even though I’ve met attractive and charming guys, I just don’t click with them because there is little chemistry. I just haven’t met the right guy yet.

    update 3 weeks ago

    okay I am still good friends with this guy and we spent lots of time with each other last week and i think i have finally come to the cconclusion that he doesn’t fancy me because he never tried to kiss me once this week. I think now that I have accepted this I hope I am now more open to other guys who may be interested in me

    I have someone in mind, he’s one of my flatmates best friends and weve slept together twice now but I dunno what’s going on. I’d like to be his girlfriend but I’m not going to be the one that asks him.

    I will keep this goal but also add “Get married.” That’s the real goal. I guess you can’t get married without having a boyfriend, hahaha.
