OP, you are really weird. You should have had at least three girlfriends by the age of 12 and lost your virginity by 15. You are way behind. But don't feel too bad, you could just be a "late bloomer"!!

Enjoy your time being young, have fun and don't worry about spending your time with just one girl.
I had a lot of friends and a great time in high school. But I did not have my first serious relationship until I was a junior in college. None of my friends had bfs/gfs in high school either. As I recall, that was seen as kind of limiting. Too much hassle related to jealousy and too much work to maintain a relationship when we had so much schoolwork, sports, extracurriculars and underage drinking to do!

Well, that's not so uncommon, but if you are unhappy about it, only YOU can do anything to change it.

So get busy.

I don't really see the point in any relationship that has no chances of going anywhere. I'd be sad knowing she's just gonna leave me. Maybe I'm scared of that because I used to have a group of 5-6 friends and now I have none of them. It was nice having people who liked to hang out with me outside of school and include me in things and actually want me around. Now they're all gone.

Great! Problem solved

You don't "see the point" of relationships, AND you are not in one - sounds like a win win.

No! I don't see the point in NON SERIOUS relationships. Relationships that don't even have potential to lead to falling in love. Like if the plan was to be a couple but break up eventually, I think that'd be pointless. Why be with someone that you don't even care about?

Well, I hate to break it to ya, but before a relationship can ever become serious, it has to start out as NON-serious.

You don't go from meeting someone to serious without a lot of stuff in between.

Here's what I consider non serious dating and serious dating.

Non serious: just want to have fun and don't care to get close, not necessarily bed buddies. Just going out for the sake of going out, not to get to know each other well. Not taking it serious, as in thinking you two dating is a joke and means nothing to you. The couple may even be planning when to break up, or have a limited time before one or the other has to move or something, with no intentions to even try to get back together.

Serious: interested in getting to know each other. Care about each other, enjoys being together. There for each others problems. Dating because they like each other. The relationship has potential of causing the two to fall in love.

So if you were dating someone because you enjoyed being with them, but wasn't thinking of getting married and etc., I'd say that's a serious relationship because you aren't dating just to play around. When you say things are getting serious, like when someone's getting ready to propose, that is a more serious type of serious, I can't think of a better way to say that lol.
