First off, I'll give a bit of info about myself. I'm 15, 10th grade, kind of a nice guy, not in the way that I'm a wimp to not take risks, but that I'm usually friendly and try to help others. Anyway, over the past years, some of the guys at my school used to bully me pretty bad. Fortunately, I decided to change that and I've started to stand up for myself. I'm a pretty tall and strong guy, so physical abuse is no longer a problem for me.
However, I'm not very good with social skills. At times, when I'm alone with someone else, the conversation might turn a bit awkward, but I think that it's partially because the others also don't know what to talk about. Anyway, I'm also pretty shy and at times unconfident, so many times I've passed out on many good opportunities of doing something that I could've enjoyed.
This year I'm trying to improve myself in all the aspects of my life that I'm not happy with. I've started working out and eating healthier, as well as trying to get rid of all what made me not understanding with other people, such as judging them before getting to know them.
Now, as it comes to girls, I'm not really sure I can understand my situation. As of now, most of my friends already date girls and spend quite some time talking about them. Because of this, I sometimes feel out of place. The problem is, I don't really think I can get much experience in it for now. I'm in a crappy small private school, where my class is about 20 students, and from 8th-12th grade I doubt there's even a hundred people. There's no really anywhere to choose from, and the vast majority of the girls are pretty ugly and not worth going for. One of the girls in my class told me she had a huge crush on me, but I'm not interested in her.
Where I live there's not many girls whom I can get to know either, nor any other people I can become friends with, so it's kind of a bad situation. However, next year I'll be moving to another school, hopefully with a lot more people.
But this year, there's also a new group of students, and the girls don't seem too bad. The thing is, they're younger than me. I really wouldn't mind this situation myself, but since the school community is so small, there's going to be rumors spreading, and I've got a reputation to keep with the teachers, who are a bit annoying when it comes to the matter of dating. If I tried to go out with these younger girls, I could get some experience, but at the same time risk having people talk bad about me. I really never considered getting girls too important, but when I do start doing so, I don't want to be too unexperienced.
So, my question is, should I start going for girls right now, or just wait until the situation is better?
