Throughout high school I've been trying to find a girlfriend. I've been feeling really lonely, because I'm always being picked on by friends. I try to stand up for myself but then it usually ends up with everyone just picking on me and I get outnumbered. I only have a few friends who actually talk to me about my feelings and such. I just wish that there was someone that just cared for me and is willing to be there for me whenever I need them. I've been searching for a girlfriend for about 5 years already. I'm a shy/socially awkward person, but I try to break free of that in order to find someone. However, I've been rejected numerous times. Everyone always tells me "You'll find someone" or "They're stupid for rejecting you", but honestly I feel like that's just false encouragement. I try to improve myself, whether it's involved with how I look or what I do, but that doesn't seem to help either. I'm scared to keep trying to find a girl because of the many times I got rejected, and I don't want to keep feeling the feeling of rejection. I just wish someone was there for me...can anyone give me advice on what I should do?

You're in high school? Play football/basketball/baseball/wrestling or track.

Not sure how that would help, those aren't coed sports. He would be better off joining clubs with a lot of chicks. Best clubs for me in HS were snowboarding club and rock climbing club. both were like 70% female.

Definitely didn't have either of those clubs at my high school...
Anyway, dude is socially awkward, wants someone that cares about him, and a GF. Joining a team sport should help with all of those in one way or another.

Your looking for a HS girlfriend. Thats usually not at the level of deep romantic connection where someone is there whenever you need them.
Really, at that age, just hang out with, be around, enjoy the company of other girls. Talk to them like their normal people. Ask them questions to learn about them and to carry interesting conversations. Offer to go hang out and do something (attend a school event, miniature golf, whatever). You will know when you have some sparks/chemistry with one of them.
From someone who was picked on in HS and had low self esteem into college..... I learned to stop trying to look for others to fulfill my self worth. Look inside you...and work on your self worth and then you can look outward toward others.
Start working out and doing things that will make you successful for the future. Put yourself in a position to succeed. Your confidence will increase and the awkwardness will fade.
