How does dating work as an adult?

[Sarah]

I am a teen girl. There isn't anything wrong with me, I have confidence, looks, personality (not to brag or anything) but a guy has never told me he liked me, or asked me out.

Does this change as an adult?

Guys seem to respect me and take me seriously. I'm not provocative.

Will guys ever like me?

just be yourself thats the most important

they probably already do
adults dating dont have any preconceptions they know there are no rules they dont hesitate if they see someone they like ---- they dont use the shotgun approach ie they dont date everyone they can they only date people they feel an affinity with
ladies also ask guys out and we know that age (as long as both are over the age of consent where they live) does not matter only the feelings they have for each other matter

Of course! You just haven't found that one guy yet. As an adult lots of things change. Guys don't necessarily see you as just a sex doll, they actually see you as a real woman, and learn to respect you. But don't get me wrong there are lots off @$$holes out there still too

Of course they will, and yes, it will be better as an adult. Just remember, not all relationships work.
Just as they don't in High School, but you part company and cry a little and move on.
Sooner or later, you'll find a guy, who is just right for you.
The trouble with boys, your age, is they are as nervous and inexperienced as you are. So they often are afraid to tell a girl they 'like' her.
Like, seem to have taken on a whole new meaning. We like Ice cream, and that's plain and simple, but however, saying we "like" some other person, that seems to hard for us to say.
Which is really sad, if we like someone, we should feel free to tell them that.

Im a teen guy so i can give you a valuable perspective. The most important thing is to not act like your thirsty cause thats a turn off. Try connecting with boys over social media like facebook. Remember your gonna get a boyfriend eventually so keep your head up. Also dont act hard to get and try to be open with boys but dont act like a hoe.
