Wanting a boyfriend is not like wanting a dog. You may want some one to love you but you can't force love and you can't buy love. Love comes to you. You shouldn't change yourself to get a guy. You'll always have to pretend, and that guy won't love you for you, but for this artificial you.

Just remember, you're 13. Boys your age are usually not interested in dating. It's not you, it's just that biologically, they're not ready. Does this mean you want to hit on older guys? Not at all. Older guys will be experienced, and may take advantage of your impatience, which may leave you feeling more hurt than loved.

It may seem like everyone has love, or has a boyfriend, but I think a lot more people don't date until they're at least sophomores in HS.

Also, taking things slow will let you cool off a bit and really understand differences between crushes, flings, and real love and affection. Personally I think love comes when two people mutually respect, and admire each other and in a way look up to each other. Finding this person may take a while. Until then, my advice is to not worry about it and try a different approach. Don't seek love, let love find you.

Best of luck.
