You're only sixteen, there's nothing wrong with not having a girlfriend right now, tomorrow, or three years from now. As a young adult there are more things to worry about, such as an education and personal growth. How is a person suppose to love you, if you don't act as if you love yourself?

Personally, I don't suggest having a serious relationship to any teenager, mine has caused (and still causes) tons of problems that end up getting one or the other in trouble. You know how much easier my life would be if I wasn't taking time out of my studies to talk through some new irrational problem he stumbled upon that day? There's a lot of work that goes into a relationship, and I have yet to meet a teenager who has been able to handle the situation.

However, since you are asking how to talk to girls, I will say the best thing is to wear your confidence on you sleeve sort to say. Most girls don't date a guy who isn't willing to ask them out on a date. How are they suppose to know you like them, if you don't tell them? We aren't mind readers.

I would also say to improve your attitude in general. There is no such thing as normal, there are people who cling more tightly to each other than some people, but they too are far from normal. It's very apparent in college, when you have a more diverse group of people around you, and less of those who grew up together and thus closely related.

More importantly, you want a good girl? Go to college, you'll find someone smart and intelligent who'll share your interest in computers and anything else. Major in computer science, or anything else actually, you'll change in the next few years so who knows what you'll like even next year. Don't worry about the cost, that seemed to be an issue earlier. My mother works in fast food, and my father currently unemployed, but that hasn't stopped me from attending a private college. If you look hard enough, work hard enough, you'll have the government paying most of your tuition.

Please, don't put yourself down because of the people around you now. Life will get better as long as you allow it. Focus on your high school work, improve the friendship you have now, and go to college and take a closer step into the real world. Even then, you'll still have some shelter to grow at your own pace, but still the freedom that changes people into respectable adults. At the end of the day, being a respectable, mature, adult will reward you with a great relationship as long as you're confident enough to show it.

Sorry...I ramble, it seems. ^.^;;
