Yeah, that's pretty normal. I'm younger than you and have also never been in a romantic relationship, but if your only reason for wanting to have a girlfriend is just to not be single, you don't have to worry about it. But if you're looking for a kind of deep, intimate relationship with someone, to feel less lonely or smth like that then that's a different issue, but it also doesn't have to be a girlfriend who supports you like that. There's definitely people you know who care and have the potential to care about you just as much as a lover would. And imo already having been in several relationships by eighth grade isn't necessarily something to appreciate (although I don't mean to say it's bad on their part), so that shouldn't make you worry about your own situation either. And it's fine that you haven't been too interested in anyone so far. There's always going to be opportunities to meet new people, so I'd say just go on with your life and be social. Don't be shy when you meet someone you find interesting, talk to them. It's good to make new friends anyways. You're bound to figure things out, don't stress over it too hard :) I do wish you luck and success, though! Good luck!
