When you ' re that young , you ' re just more likely to pick a jerk to date because you don ' t yet know how to tell the jerks from the decent people . Also , it ' s totally normal to go through a lot of rejection when you start dating the only way to learn is to put yourself out there , and that means getting rebuffed sometimes . If you want to improve your appearance , and therefore your chances at dating success , eat right , exercise , and get a good hygiene regimen going . This will boost your confidence too , which will probably do more for your love life than anything else . You ' ve got plenty of time to find a girlfriend , don ' t sweat it !
