Okay, so first thing is you need to chill! guys don't stress over all the small stuff like us girls do, they are ushualy friends with you because you are a fun person to hang with. they don't like to hear about girls issues 24/7 such as complaining about your weight, looks, shape etc.. find out the things guys are interested in in your area, bring up things such as video games and movies. they don't like drama all that much =/

If you are looking for more of a crush perspective from boys, then make funny jokes around them, hang out with them, but don't throw yourself at them. its like a game =] give them a little hint and let them figure the rest out. you can dress nice, you your hair, look pretty and all, but your personality is KEY

Getting guys to be your friend is really easy if you know what to do. just be yourself tho =]

OMG are we twins?!? I've always been the "sweet, shy girl" that doesn't really have a social life when it comes to guys. And I also have mild acne, so it makes me insecure :/

The guy problem:
-The way I started talking to guys is through Facebook (which is a little lame). My best friend also has a few guy cousins our age and she introduced me to THEIR friends so that helped too.
-I have always been terribly shy, like I get really bubbly and talkative with people I know well, but when I meet guys I'm so shy and nervous I'm as exciting as a rock. What I do is I try to challenge myself and I'm like, "Okay, this is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, just be yourself. 10 minutes from now this is all going to be over, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out, but just TRY to talk and be yourself."
-I'm guessing from what you're saying you're in high school? I'm sorry if you're younger or older....I'm in high school so I'm just guessing you are. Go to dances, join clubs, join the musical (tons of my friends have found guy friends and boyfriends because of these activities!).

The acne problem:
Girl, I FEEL you. I've been dealing with acne since I hit puberty (like 11 or 12 years old) and it's horrible. There's the good days (where it seems that your face is mostly clear) and then there's the really, really bad days where you're just breaking out everywhere. What's worked for me is drinking TONS of water, NOT touching my face (I'm always picking at it), washing my face with a gentle cleanser twice a day (and not scrubbing too hard), and using a fade cream for the leftover acne scars and red marks.
You mentioned you wear makeup, which I occasionally do as well. This sounds weird but GREEN-tinted conealer actually conteracts with red so it's perfect for pimples. NYX has the best green concealer. Just put some regular foundation or powder on top of the concealer (so your skin won't look green lol!) and it should look fine.

Well I hope this helps, and just know I'm in the same situation. Shy girls unite! \m/

Look first rule to be friends with guys, don't be desperate. Don't shout I wanna be friends with guys. Secondly get acne medication, or even tooth paste to dry your skin out. Once that is done, wear makeup that highlights your features. Thirdly get into sports, guys love girls that have a nice body work and and even know a little thing or two about sports. Be yourself but be a 'better looking' yourself, as I like to say, guys are shallow they want to be around pleasant things, so once you work on yourself you'll gain confidence and the'll be attracted to that. Sites you can use just google you'll find tons, or go on tumblr or pinterest.
