Whenever I really like a guy, I want to go out with them but I'm scared that it would be awkward. A lot of guys ask girls out that they barely know and I would only be ready to go out if I get to know them first. The thing is I think if I tell a guy I really like that I want to wait till we get to know each other, they might just find someone else and I would lose my chance with them.

Is it normal to feel nervous about going out with someone because I'm scared it would be awkward? I'm 13 going on 14 and I've never had a real boyfriend..

So you're 13 almost 14? You know what... you're still a kid. Who cares if everyone one else is doing it, if you have to come here and ask us then clearly you are not ready to ask someone out yet.

You wanna wait until you guys actually get to know each other? Then that's great! But don't worry and get all paranoid about what maybe could possibly maybe happen.
Become friends with a guy, get to know him, take your time. That doesn't mean you have to focus just on one guy though, hell the one guy you have an initial interest in could turn out to be a total ass - then you've wasted all that time on nothing.

So my point is, you wanna get to know the guy(s) you're interested in? Become friends with them, just ask to hang out, find common interests, things like that.
If someone comes along and snags one of those guys then at least you got another guy, possibly, that you've also gained an interest in by this time.

Not every guy is the same either, all those jerk guys, don't bother with them, they are not the types you wanna get involved with - nothing but pointless attachments and heartbreak waiting to happen. That's why they ask out girls they hardly know, so they can use them and then get rid of them after they have no more use for them.

Yes it's normal! Esp. when you're just a kid!
For the record, I get the feeling you feel left out because you've never had a boyfriend despite your age, well get this... I'm a month away from 18, and I've never had a boyfriend. Ever.
So you don't have to have a boyfriend at 14, okay? To be honest, you should probably wait at least until they figure out that if they act more mature then they'll go further in life.

I'm 16 and ready, but finding the guy is the problem. Well, not really the problem because I'm not a crazed and desperate girl looking for her first relationship. I'd just like to finally have one, but one that actually means something. Not some desperation were I stick with a jerk that eventually leaves me heartbroken. The point I'm making is to have patience and wait for the right guy

Look If I was you, I would get to know the guy first. I mean, the best relationships start off as friends! And if he does turn you down, don't be upset; You WILL find the right guy...in time
Hope I helped.
