I'm going to apologize in advance for this really long post , sorry...
Part 1 : To start things off , I am nineteen years of age and have been single for all of my life , which obviously means that I've never had the opportunity to share a close , intimate connection with one single girl ( and that's embarrassing , I know ). And it really sucks , but I am not the first person to have experienced such a situation ,and I probably won't be the last . Taking a look back throughout my high school career as a student , I wasn't popular but I wasn't a complete loser either . I guess you could say that I was basically a 'tweener'.Like any guy my age at the time , I was interested in a few girls-- four girls to be specific , but only three really stood out to me(one of the girls I liked briefly was a friend of my friend, who happened to be a girl, and actually at some point I had a chance to be with her but I will get to that later) --whenever I showed a thorough interest in each of the four girls my interest seemed to fluctuate a lot and my intentions with them seemed to change a lot too; for whatever the reason . Initially, I was interested in the girls that was interested in because I thought they were all girlfriend/dating material , but then I would soon realize I just wanted to hook up with them instead. Just incase so I don't give anyone the wrong impression , if you couldn't already tell(or if I didn't even make this clear!), I was pretty shy and nervous around girls and had a hard time with girls when I was in school. While I was nervous and shy , as just mentioned before , I made my best effort to not make these emotions too noticeable when I was around them . But as I've gotten older , I've been able to keep those emotions under control and manage them .
Part 2... :
Anyways , back to the topic : But as I was saying before I drifted off to something else...When I was interested in all of these girls my interest seemed to fluctuate a lot and my intentions with them seemed to change as well . And as all these feelings and thoughts occurred to me simultaneously , I never ended up getting far with any of the girls due to hesitation , fear of rejection , my emotions , uncertainty, outside distractions , etc. With one of the girls I became so turned off by her before I even liked her , because I got this extremely pseudo-humble-snobby vibe from her . Because of that nasty vibe I got from her , I didn't even acknowledge her existence , let alone look her in the eye .
Part 3... :
With the second girl I was actually good friends with her but I was interested in her friend and at the time . So, I mentioned to her that I was interested in this friend of hers and she mistakenly thought I was talking about her and was completely open to the idea of being more than friends with me. But I ended up saying said no to her, because I wasn't really into her like that. Not too long after that actually , she ended up getting into to a relationship , but said if hadn't been for that she would have hooked up with me . Having experienced all of this craziness, I do understand that I can't make a girl like me . She'll either like me or she just won't . And I'm fine with that . The only problem is I feel that I've always been overlooked by a lot girls and I feel like I'm so much better than the guys they end up being with - I guess that's just me though ! Because of this all , I have feelings of resentment towards girls now , and I am only interested in hooking up or just being friends . I literally never want to be a relationship or get married . Period . If I have to lie to a girl about wanting a relationship just so I can get laid , then I will . Fast-forward to now, with social media I have connections with all of them( Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram ) and I've been able to see that their all in relationships . And not in a creepy , stalker way either .But why is that when I look at their accounts on these various social media sites I find myself getting jealous ?! Help ! I need to get over all of these girls and move on with my life, thanks .

You are just too young, you'll change your mind a million times before all is said and done!
I've been mostly single (no serious bf) until I was 21. So 19 is really nothing.
