the guy is always surrounded by pretty, popular girls, so do i even stand a chance?

don't lose hope, you never know what can happen. if you want it, believe it, and really go for it then you have a good chance. you say you're best friends with this guy, so that already shows that he must be extremely attracted to your personality. that's a perfect start. usually the best relationships are couples who started out as friends. by being your friend, this guy gets to know the whole you.

look, when it really comes down to it, guys don't want to date a whore. don't be discouraged if he has flings with these girls or anything like that, because honestly, when he's looking for a serious relationship, he's not gonna want some skanky girl. guys only go for girls like that in the short-term. my own best guy friend happens to be the most popular guy in our grade. i remember last year he had a lot of flings with some of the "hot" girls at our school, but nothing serious ever came of any of them. everytime things went wrong with one of these girls he would complain to me about them, how fake they were and after awhile of just hooking up with them, things would end because he didn't want to date them. over the summer, he got a girlfriend. and let me tell you, she isn't half as gorgeous as all the girls he was involved with before, but she's real. they've been together for over 6 months now. just goes to show that when it really comes down to it, even the popular guys value a great personality when looking for a serious girlfriend.

if you can make this guy fall in love with your personality, the appearance becomes second in importance. work on building your relationship with him, and stay confident... confidence is sexy. and yeah sure, maybe put some effort into your appearance. but DON'T change who you are to get this guys attention, cause obviously he already likes the person you are otherwise he wouldn't be friends with you.

Ok. I know how this situation feels. Trust me. I graduated high school already and guys can be total jerks. I liked this one kid for a long time and I thought we were getting somewhere and the next minute I know he is going out with some other girl. Clearly I got upset, but then I realized that If hasn't noticed me then he is certainly not worth it. Like you said if you are confident with yourself, then guys will see that no matter what. Of course you have a chance, don't give up there are "plenty of fish in the sea" and don't waste your time on one guy. As you get older guys also become more mature and they will start to notice who you really are not just based on looks. I've once heard if you stop looking for someone they will show up. I hope everything works out for you.

Don't count yourself out before you even start! First of all, there are different types of beauty. You don't have to be size 2 and blonde to get a guy. I'm sure you're not ugly, but if you improve yourself (notice I said don't CHANGE, just improve what you naturally have) you will not only look better, but gain more confidence.

Confidence is very important when it comes to attracting guys. You need to have a different swagger about yourself that will make you sexy. Just work it. Maybe that guy already thinks you are beautiful but doesn't want to weird you out by hitting on you. Maybe he could be attracted to another girl besides a blonde party girl, but people just assume that's what he likes...You never know until you try

<3 good luck!
