Why haven't I had a boyfriend yet?

[Galelan Of The Atani]

Hi, I know this seems like a really dumb question but I've been thinking a lot about it lately.
So I'm 15 and a freshman in high school. I know that is young (ish) but basically everyone I know is in a relationship but me. I've never ever ever been in a relationship even as a little kid. I've just never had that with someone. It kind of sucks because my friend was telling me, "Oh you're definitely going to have a boyfriend this year!!" and it hasn't happened. It probably never will.

I'm a good student. I'm taking an AP class, an honors class, and German. I'm not like a straight A student. My GPA is like a 3.4. So I think I'm alright in that department. I wouldn't really consider myself dumb, I'm pretty sarcastic and my dad told me my humor is deadpan. Sometimes people can't tell if I'm joking or not... but most of the time I make people laugh. I'm really into history and world travel. My plan is to study world history in college, specializing in Medieval/Renaissance history and religion. So I mean, I have ambitions.

I don't do drugs or drink or anything. I mean yeah, that doesn't really interest me at all at this time in my life. Mostly because I'd be scared of getting caught, aha. I think one thing that people think is weird about me is that I'm really into Lord of the Rings (basically anything Tolkien). I'm like really really into it. I have not met one person who likes LOTR at my school. It's kinda ridiculous. But I like all kinds of shows.

Um, I mean I don't think I'm like hideous like Medusa but I know that I'm not very pretty either. I see girls all the time get compliments on facebook but the only think anyone has ever called me is cute. But I don't really think so. You can sorta see in my profile picture on here, but like yeah I have blonde hair (dyed) and bangs and braces. But I don't wear makeup much except concealer and mascara and I fill in my eyebrows a bit. But that's like it. I don't really dress up either, I own literally 10-12 Lord of the Rings/the Hobbit/Star Trek/Star Wars/Dr. Who/Sherlock t-shirts that I wear regularly and jeans and since it's cold usually a jacket/sweatshirt. So that's pretty plain (but I love my shirts so much). I'm also not like super skinny either but I'm not a hippo. I'm like right in the middle. I am really self conscious of my chin though, it's what I hate most about myself. I wear shorts in PE and I'm not really THAT self conscious about it... (maybe I should be aha).

So yeah, what exactly am I doing wrong? I just think having a boyfriend would be pretty nice but I feel like I'm never going to get one. I feel like there aren't any people like me at my school. What mistake am I making?

Well maybe I would help if it wasn't so long..... I'll read it and answer... ok so I read it and I think that you should stick to who you are because there is always someone somewhere you just haven't met and trust me a lot of people love the lord of the rings (at least where I live) so loon for these people be confident and you will find who your looking for... hope I helped

Youre 15 child.....what is the RUSH??!! Focus on your studies, worry about boys when you're mature enough to handle them!!!
Trust me boyfriends are trouble especially young teenage boys! YUCK

At least your not like me. I'm a 17 year old guy who until a girl had told me she had been hitting on me for 6 months was moving on. I was like wth? Really? I didn't even notice and now thinking back it has happened alot. So you might have guys hitting on you and just be oblivious like me.

The only mistake you're making is trying to look inward for some fixable issue. It's not a problem, this thing that has you all worried. It will happen when it happens. The secret, which isn't really a secret is to just do your life and lifestyle things as normal...and ENJOY it all. When you stop looking, that's when it will find YOU. Much more attractive to friends and potential love interests is a person who is so obviously OK with theirselves and with their own interests that they don't need anyone else....they'll want to get in on it.
Since you're already into Ren/Medieval history and Tolkien....do you ever do historical reenactment, living history events? Many like-minds to be found there..and most of us are Tolkien addicts from the way-back.

I've found that the moment I stop looking for someone, someone finds me.
