how do I (20f) get a boyfriend

I've been feeling kind of lonely lately and wish I had a boyfriend. but guys dont really compliment me or talk to me

If you want a relationship you have to put yourself out there and be actively searching. Be nice and flirty to boys you like, people doesn't usually want to chase after those that don't seem interested in them. Try dating apps as well, they help you find people that is looking for the same things.

I don't think there's a book of rules on what men like. Men are people, an heterogeneous group with many different preferences. They don't all like the same. Plus, having a boyfriend probably shouldn't be the goal, in my opinion. Just meet different people and see which ones you feel more comfortable with. Not all dates end up in a long term thing, and there's nothing wrong with that. Have fun with the process.
