text: Everyone tells me how pretty I am but as a child/teenager I felt like an ugly duckling because I never had a boyfriend growing up.  What I have come to realize is that I wasnt into the fast things everyone else was in to (sex, mostly) and so no one wanted to date me.  Guys are also intimidated by pretty girls so sometimes you have to be the aggressor.  If there is someone you like approach them, sometimes dealing with rejection is the best way to learn how to gain acceptance.  Walk, talk, and feel that you look good and that you are good; people will notice your strong attitude and you will get noticed. Be outgoing, talk to people even if you don't know them or you are shy, make yourself it does pay off. Let me know how it goes.....
