Before you try, remember that teenage males are insane. Then consider if you want a friend who's insane.

I didn't finish reading the thread, does he find a girlfriend in the end?

And things my end are decidedly looking up

If a girl tells me she likes me like that I just take it as a compliment and go on as normal. If she persists and I'm not interested I just make myself clear and we get along. (usually) This last one took a while cause just when I thought I was safe being friends with her she'd ask me if i liked her again. then I'd have to be mean. she took it that I liked her. then I just said f*** it and was nice. she took it that I liked her again. I told her 101 times. she kept bugging me. I try to be friends. she thinks Im interested. I just decided shes immature.

It horrible when you fancy someone, you keep looking for a sign, any sign that the feeling is mutual, thus misrepresenting any contact intended as freindly.

As to finding a nice man, I would recommend getting a job in a bar when you get to uni, preferably in the city centre, that way you'll meet a whole other circle of people, non-students and students, plus there's usually colleagues up for excursions to clubs when you've finished work! All of which will widen your social circle, you'll get paid for the pub work, and who knows, you may find a man out there, if that's still important to you, and you have the energy left!!

going back to the question of how to get a boyfriend, I think you just need to know more people : go out often (but clubs might not be the best places to meet a boyfriend, boys are only interested in sex when they go to clubs), try new activities, meet the friends of your friends...
I don't really agree with the fact that you find him when you don't look for him. I just can't see why beeing ready for a love relationship would prevent you from meeting someone. most of time meeting someone is a total hasard : it's just two people beeing at the same place at the same time.
I understand you beeing fed up with beeing alone, a boyfriend isn't the be-all-and-end-all but it's great to feel love by someone and to have someone who take you in his arms. I've gone through the same feelings, but I've got a boyfriend now.Believe me, you'll find someone!
