<human>: Throwaway account.
 
I remember being twelve years old and looking at my peers "dating." I was always a mature kid, so I understood that there was a time for that, and it would come eventually.

I'm now a senior in high school, and I've never had a boyfriend, never been kissed, never even held a guy's hand. I'm ready for a relationship. *So* ready. I've had crushes in the past, none that really worked out, but I wasn't too miffed because there were more important things to worry about. 

I've stayed focused and fought hard to do well in school and overcome the challenges thrown my way. My current classes are high level, but easy, and I'm very involved with school activities. I would say, humbly but proudly, that I'm a pretty attractive college applicant right now. I don't have a ton of friends, but I'm happy with the ones I have. My high school career is coming to a close, and things are looking pretty good for me.

I've finally gotten to that point mentally and in my academic career where I could comfortably dedicate time to having a boyfriend. Can't be all work and no play, right?

The only problem is, I simply can't get a guy to like me. I have a few male acquaintances, but at least one of them is gay, and the others are all absorbed with other friend groups. I'm stuck in the friend zone with guys I know, and guys I don't know are polite but uninterested.

I don't have high expectations for a boyfriend; all I need is a nice guy willing to give me some of his time and an occasional kiss. I have so much affection to give and nowhere for it to go and it's killing me on the inside.

I know I'm less than beautiful (in fact, kinda ugly, but that's okay), and I know I'm bad at making my feelings known. But I'm friendly and outgoing and fun when someone takes the time to get to know me. Is there something wrong with me? :( Should I just wait until college to get a fresh start?

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
<bot>: I'm ready for a relationship but can't find a guy to give me the time of day, and I want to know why.
