I just moved back to my old town. I was a total dork when I lived here before, but in my last town I had boyfriends and guys used to talk to me all the time, and flirt with me too. Now I feel so ugly because the guys I like don't talk to me. I got used to having boyfriends all the time, but here I am going crazy because I don't have one. I need someone in my life again, and fast! So how do I get the guys I like to notice me and to like me?
--Dorky No More
Whoa! Slow down! You're trying way too hard. You insist you're no longer a total dork, but it doesn't seem like you really believe it! That's why you think having a boyfriend is so important. You're worried that these guys only see the old, dorky you. But what is it about the "new" you that makes you dateable? You can't expect them to like you just because you're no longer a dork. Are you fun and friendly and witty? You've got to relax and let them see these sides of you.
You're going to continue to have a problem as long as you think that having a boyfriend is the only way for you to avoid going crazy! Most guys tend to steer clear of girls who come off as desperate, and, no offense, but you sound mighty desperate. Make some friends, have fun, and think about something other than boys. That's when they'll notice you.
