Adri,
I’m a pretty girl. I know this. I’ve been told before and I’m not seeking validation. I’m also a nice girl. People like me and think I’m funny. But, when I go out, I can’t seem to meet any men that are interested in me. They always seem to find my other friends attractive. I usually end up sitting by myself at the table or with the other rejects having a conversation about something stupid to pass the time while the other people flirt and have fun. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I get boys to notice me… in that way? What should I do?

Well, Wallflower, sometimes it’s just a matter of signals. Think about what signals you are sending and how other people interpret them. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re pretty or if you’re funny. If you aren’t flirting, people aren’t going to think you’re accessible or willing to engage in the game that is seduction. Change things up. Wear a killer sexy dress, work on listening instead of talking, put on some makeup, and make lots of eyecontact. Those aren’t solutions, but they’ll make your friends notice a difference in you. Which may be all you need to get your foot in the door. Either that, or accept your fate and wait for the one person who’ll notice you sitting there with all the dorks, and think that’s fucking hot. But until then, you can either start being proactive or stop whining. Because you clearly thinking that you’re entitled to some flirtation, but the thing is, no one’s entitled to shit. You have to work for it.
