Well, I can't speak for ALL girls, but I can certainly tell you that most girls find smart guys to be very attractive. I see nothing wrong with a guy who is wise beyond his years. Rather, I'm more annoyed by guys who act too childish for their age, which I think is much more common. You are very lucky to be born with natural intelligence, so don't let anything discourage you. Many guys (and girls) want this trait, but do not have it. There is NOTHING wrong with you...in fact, you seem like a guy many girls WOULD want to go out with. As for scoring dates, well, you are still very very young. Since you are still in hs, you have a lot of time to explore. Although I would agree that you are too self-aware (mature) for high school romance. Once you get into college, you'll definitely get more chances to meet more mature people/women who can relate to you, so don't worry about it! There's still plenty of time for you.
Sigh... did you even bother reading what he wrote? But either way, you're right. I also doubt that he would want any advice from you.
Great post. I like how you express yourself. You remind me very much of myself in high school. I was very lonely and isolated and all my relationships with people seemed to be superficial. You might be so mature that you find it difficult to relate to other people. I know I did. I was always really ahead of my age, far too serious, and now the funny thing is that I'm regressing to a kid and I'm in my 20s!! Maybe the next time you're in class, the lunch room, etc., take a look around at some new faces and meet some new people. It sounds like the friends you have now aren't very good when it comes needing a shoulder to lean on. I know, some friends are like that. Some of them are just fun to hang out with but others times you need something more. I think its important to keep reaching out to people so don't give up even though it may seem hopeless sometimes. I understand about the depression thing. It's hard, and I know the loneliness makes it even worse. My parents are workaholics so I know what its like to be alone a lot. I was alone for many years without a boyfriend but I finally found someone special. You will too. Keep your eyes open. I bet there are girls (and guys) all over your school that feel the same way you do. You just have to find them. Try student body work, even if you aren't the president, you'll be able to meet new people.
You shouldnt really be discourage by the fact your mature for your age. Your probably just being self-conscious about the fact that the people around your age have a girlfriends already or what not. You know patience is a virtue, you'll find your companion when the times come =) I dont think all girls become intimated by the fact your more intelligent than them lols. I have a friend who is similiar to you and has a girlfriend...it's just funny to see how he makes fun of her lack of knowledge, i know what your all thinking.."he's just being a know it all ass" blah blah...but i know he's joking...obviously he always begs for forgiveness for his stupid mouth right after the comments >.>
Just act the age that you are regardless of how smart/mature you feel. Just because you feel like you're 30 doesn't mean you have to act like you're 30 around your peers. Read up on trends that are popular for your age group, chat and giggle with the rest of your classmates & assimilate. Otherwise, wait until you're in college and date older women.
Can someone 16 really be as mature as a 30 year old? I've met tons of teenagers that think they are very mature. You're only young for so long. So just enjoy it.
I kinda act like that too. I have this big brother type of personality. So im just buying my time and waiting for that one girl to come along who will like me cuz im just me.
