is it normal not to crave teenage love at ALL

Relationship

i feel zero need to be in a relationship and no one around me feels the same so im constantly being slammed and joked on about not having a bf

not to higher my ego but it's not bc i cant pull, i've been told multiple guys have liked me/asked if i was talking to anyone, but it's simply because i don't see the point in dating when everyone at this age is so immature and it only resorts in unnecessary drama. it just seems so pointless if you're just going to be hurt in the end/most likely won't last for life, or maybe im just the problem i dont KNOW

im 16 and everyone around me is obsessed with getting a new bf/gf every second of their lives, lowk i feel behind because i've never been in a rl or even a talking stage

so am i missing out and am i gonna regret not at least TRYING for teen love or should i just ignore what everyone around me is telling me to do
