I do several extracurricular things, I spend time with my family, I go on vacations and trips and see other places and cultures, and pretty much whatever else living life might constitute except have a relationship. I'm literally the only person I know in real life who's never experienced that. Even if it doesn't work out, even if I know from the start it won't, I want to know what it's like! I want to experience everything life has to offer, not "everything but overrated 'love'."

I'm 20 and I can understand your situation, I have also never had a relationship (like, at all
) I get down about it sometimes, but not because I feel I NEED to be with somebody to be happy or anything like that, I just WANT to. I don't think I should feel stupid for wanting to experience that type of closeness with a person and have those firsts. I guess there's nothing to do except keep hopeful for the future
Also I don't know everything about your deal right now but I think if you feel there's something there, you should at least attempt to go for it. I've felt so much regret because of times when I was too timid about making the first move on somebody who I thought might be interested in me and nothing ended up happening and I was kicking myself for it. Even if the person rejects you or whatever, at least you'll know and you can move on to somebody else who maybe will give you a chance
No sense in wasting your time on somebody who could end up being the opposite of what you think. Especially when you're so young, dating should be carefree and fun not serious and upsetting, you know?
But is that so bad?
I'm a mess with that. After every class I go to the washroom and fix my hair (probably the "gayest" thing I do 
) in hopes of maybe the guy I've liked for so long would think twice when he looks at me.
