I was inspired by a short story I read a while back and am in the middle of making a character inspired by it for a group plot I am working on.
The story was basically about the dark side of beauty that rarely seems to be touched on. It was about a super model whose beauty turned out to be a curse for her. Her beauty got her harassed by the jocks as a trophy lie, and then lying about how good she was in bed when she rebuffed them. Her loveliness also left her isolated from the smart kids to whom she was actually attracted to. Then finally as a super model, she is now on the run from an utterly insane stalker of a fan.
Anyway my chracter is going to be 17 and I hit a snag while writing her history. I can't decide what would be a proper age for her to start having boy trouble because of her looks. I never dated or had any offers of a date when I was in school so I am utterly lacking when it comes to knowledge on the subject so I need your help!
Edit: I probably should have wrote this sooner. No my chracter is NOT going to be a mary sue as she will be having mental problems like occasional hallucinations, night terrors that leave her screaming in the middle of the night, and sometimes just breaking down and sobbing.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking so I am sorry if I don't answer this well but 17 is a fine age for it. Dating gets more serious in highschool and its probably more sophmore-senior that has the dating problems. I mean you can have it anywhere but Highschool has all the right things for relationships to go wrong.

It really depends on how fast she matured. Some girls start with boys as early as 12/13, others aren't interested until their mid- to late teens.
Considering she's 17 and having a good career as a super model, I'm assuming she was considered pretty early on. Modeling usually starts with kids modeling, so boy trouble starting around 13/14 sounds like a pretty good start to me. It's the age of puberty starting, or having started.

I (stupidly) had my first 'real' boyfriend around the age of 14, so attraction can happen pretty early on. Like Sanne said, it's usually around the time of puberty. My sister is around that age now, and she's a lot more super-model-y than I was at that age, so it does vary for different girls.
