I Want to Fall In Love

Tired Of Waiting For Mr. Right!... All my friends have boyfriends except me. All my friends have been kissed except me. All the guys at my school are either immature, pla<x>yers or a J.e.r.k. And worst of all I turned 16 this year and still have never been on a date or even had anything close to a real boyfriend.
What happened!! To those romantic guys who hold the door for you and want to know what you are thinking. And hold you tight when your scared or sad and LISTEN to you and help you fix a broken heart or wipe your tears away. Why can't the world have men like Leonardo DiCaprio in the titanic or ryan gosling in the notebook or Stefan Salvatore (played by Paul Wesley) in the vampire diaries. I wish it was like the 40s or the 50s. I want to be kissed like in that photo on V-J Day in Times Square. Is it too much to ask for a man to treat a girl like she's important. Now of days it seems like divorce after another. What happened to the commitment in "for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part." I want a man to love me for me and not try to change me I want a man to be there for me no matter what. I want a man to make me laugh and feel good about my self and feel like i'm perfect the way I am. I don't want a perfect guy because there is no such thing but I want a guy who will make mistakes but know that it's okay to make mistakes but not let them define your strength. I want a guy who won't expect me to compete to a level of excellence that is impossible to reach. I just want to feel wanted. Like I deserve to be treated good for a change.

Ok. When you read this you are going to roll your eyes and think; he's just an old fart who doesn't understand. Fine, on the 18.9% chance that you'll listen I'll waste my time and explain. First of all when I said "old" I was mocking you. 16 is not old at all in fact 16 isn't even at the starting gate. See, when I was 16 I thought I had all the answers, no one could tell me anything. I knew it all! Now rotate the numbers. At 61 I find that I don't have all the questions.

On the 25th of November 1968 I married the navy. I went to boot camp and that night crawled into my rack and went to sleep. The morning of 30 September 1993 I woke up and it was all over. It was gone. 25 years in the bl<x>ink of an eye. Sailed 75% of the earth and was in some places I don't care to remember except with those that were there with me. My point? Don't push this thing. Take every day as it comes, make the most of it. You are young to be in a serious relationship. I KNOW. Every girl wants her Prince Charming on a white horse. It's natural. Every guy wants a trophy girl that all other guys stare at and are jealous. Don't push it and don't feel left out just because you have girlfriends that do or think they do. Look at the stats and half of them are probably going to end up in trouble.

You are a bright young lady. I can see that from what you wrote and the way you wrote it. Your time will come and so what if you're 20 when it does? If you are then that's the way it was intended and you are ahead of the game. One other thought; Those that you think are your friends now, in five-six years won't matter. We all move on. In the interm; read, study, make your grades, hang out at the mall. Prince Charming is on his way. :-)

Girl I feel you. I'm 17 and also never had a real boyfriend and it is really hard to keep waiting. I mean anyone could have a boyfriend in high school if you really tried to but I am with you all of the boys only seem interested in gettin it in. It's just like are you kidding me! How long do I have to wait! but just know that you arent alone. I like to think that my love life is Disney movie. I'm one of the girls who never had a boyfriend in highschool and never been kissed and in college i will meet my prince charming....... but like i said you and me arent alone there are more than plenty of girls all over the world who feel just like us. you just have to have a little faith that a guy will come around sooner or later.

Gee, 16 already! You're so old. Slow down, you sound like a girl OUT of the 40's and 50's. It will happen. I understand there is a lot of peer pressure at your age and next month seems like eternity, but it will happen. Study, get good grades and be yourself. It will happen.
