Fireplace Lighter

I blew out the Pilot light on my fireplace?

I saw this little flame on my gas fireplace and my fireplace was turned off(I just bought a house recently) so I blew it out. Now it doesn't start... I asked my friend and he said that I blew out the Pilot light...Can I just light a match near where I blew this out and everything will be back to normal?
Traveler...it's just a light switch. I don't think I can do that.
Whoops...I didn't see that you said "light it."
cr3ater: I don't smell any gas...So I don't think that's a problem.
Reason4living: I found a red button under the panel but it doesn't do anything when I press it. Is this the saftey button? (Btw...I have to go and buy matches)
I found the switch for pilot light...I bought a lighter...And it still won't light.

a safety feature should be on the gasline leading to the fireplace pilot ;ight which must be pushed when relighting the pilot. it should be just like one on a gas furnace or gas water heater. if you can't locate it, ask a neighbor or have someone from an appliance staore come light it for you. if you locarte the safety, you should follow any instructions for lighting the pilot. don't try to force it to light as additional safeties would also be disabled if you do.
