Is it normal i regret not having a girlfriend in 5th grade?

A woman I know in a group I go to seemed surprised that her 5th grade son had a crush on a girl, and we and some other people talked about how seriously we took it as kids but it was silly looking back. It got me thinking about when I was that age, and really I didn’t take it seriously then, but my hormones were crazy. I thought I was lucky to have so many hot girls in my class, but sadly I never worked up the courage to talk to any of them (and I hate to say this because it’s mean, but there’s no other way to say it, but there was one girl who was just ugly, and people joked about me liking her even though I didn’t. I hope things worked out for her, and tbf people have called me ugly too). I guess I wish I would have taken the opportunity when it was simpler, as back then I didn’t have any responsibilities and it would have just been a fun thing.

But it got to a point where kids thought I was weird for not having a girlfriend, and the people in the group seemed confused about what that would even mean at that age, and joked about it being on the swing set or something like that. Tbh it was a pretty weird age, as while I enjoyed recess I couldn’t help but feel like I was too old for it, and when people say being a teenager is like being between a kid and adult, I always think about how I started feeling that way much earlier.

It might just be that at that time I was big into being modern and cool, but sometimes it still feels like 2009 to me, and I still sometimes feel like I’m in 5th grade, as the years since have gone by so quickly. But the kid I mentioned earlier clearly is different than I was, as he’s crushing on a very specific girl and his mom says he’s polite. Back then, like I said above, I just thought a large number of girls in my class were hot, and I probably wouldn’t have taken the relationship seriously, but I just regret not doing what I could have when it would have been so easy!
