Is it normal i want to date but i am scared?

I'm 19 years old and I've never had a real, committed relationship before. I get asked out quite a lot but even if I like the person/think they are attractive I always say no. I don't know why. I guess I'm scared. I've only ever went out with one person before and I thought it was going well until I found out they were talking to another girl (all while telling me they only wanted me)

I just don't know how to get out of my comfort zone! I don't even know how to respond when flirted with >.<

    Treat them like a new friend that you're going to dinner / cinema etc with. If you don't like them afterwards you don't have to go again. You're not promising to marry them or be tied to them for life.

    As we girls say, you can't have too many friends or too many shoes :o)

      As a 19 year old guy I agree with this. As long as you don't lead them on....

    Ha I'd say you're normal. I was the same way all through high school plus and end up kicking myself for all the relationships I missed out on. I finally found one that I could commit to at about 20 and I'm sure you'll find the same. Not everyone can just jump into a relationship and there's nothing wrong with that but eventually, you need to test the waters and give people a chance ya know?
