Why can't I seem to get a boyfriend?

Question

I'm 16. I know I'm young and have a whole life ahead of me, but I'm just tired of being rejected. I'm not the skinniest girl in the world, and I'm working on that(for me, not anybody else), but I am also not ugly. I've been told that I'm pretty, not just by friends and family, but by a lot of random people that I don know. I dress nicely and decently, and I'm actually quite smart. It just upsets me that I'm the friend that every guy looks past, but I'm the one being asked for relationship advice, though I've never been in a relationship. I want to be there, but I can't help but be jealous, though I do know that that's a bad thing. I sometimes  wonder if maybe I'm just too mature (before I get called out on that, let me explain). I'm not your typical high schooler. I'm not in to going out and being with friends all of the time. I prefer being in ap classes. Psychology and politics are kind of my life. I honestly research psychology and political topics more than I watch tv so I can't relate to what most kids watch. I can relate more to adults and I feel like an adult trapped in a 16 year old body (not even, people always think I'm an adult, maybe that's why the only people that hit on me are adults. I just want some my age. Any advice?

Hey, I get how you feel. I love Psychology and keep getting asked for advice from my guy friends about other girls.
I've just kinda accepted that maybe I haven't met the person yet; everything happens for a reason.
I really hope you meet your person too; it's just that sometimes some of us have to wait a bit longer than others.
Let's hope it's worth the wait :).
Have a nice day :):):)

Based on your description I am guessing you are a healthy girl since you said you aren't skinny. I think you give off the wrong signs to guys in either how you talk to them, or potentially over text. It could be because you aren't flirting. Do you ever text guys? Or ask them to hang out? If you at least get guys to text and hang out you are in the right ballpark(no matter what it is), but if you don't then my guess would be your physical appearance. Other not good non-verbals you might be giving off are being too loud, or laughing too much(both of those turn me off. Those aren't traits of being lady like). Other verbals would be you aren't that interesting(most of the time if you are cute to attractive this barely applies, but we expect you to keep up a conversation).
