well first i will tell you it is much easier to write in simple past for beginners in german not preterit. i know because ich wohne in deutschland. so try to us the GE form it works better for people learning german. unless your teacher wants preterit.
you don't just find a boy. you have to get to know them. not "oh I've know you for 2 weeks, and I like you" I mean like months worth of a friendship. great things take time and patience. just wait until the time comes
