Is it normal to not be able to move on until i meet someone new?

It's very hard for me to like someone enough to want to attempt to date them in the first place, so it gets very complicated if it doesn't work out because I don't stop liking the person after they've rejected the idea. I've never been able to just take a "no" and move on to another girl--the next girl has to make me feel the same or better than the previous girl. And I don't move on until I've met that someone that replaces the feeling of rejection/loneliness with romantic interest. I should also mention that I've never actually even been in a relationship since each one I've tried doesn't end up working out, and then I end up stuck until someone new sparks my interest a while later.

If it's not normal for me to dwell so much on someone who isn't as interested in me as I am them, then is there any advice on how to deal with this? It's not an overly depressing feeling, but it's just a kind of daily dose of sadness.

Thanks.

    You seemed to be a sentimental guy. I think you're still young and while young enjoy the joys of dating. You can go out or hang out 3 girls at a time and choose the one you really fancy. Then start dating her if you think you have the chance of being her bf...goodluck

    It's perfectly normal. :) I've been in quite a few similar situations before, and although it totally sucks, its normal. :) Try spending time with friends, go out and have fun to help take your mind off of relationships. Don't completely invest your time and energy into finding someone. The right person will come along. :)

    I know this isn't anything like the other comments before, but I felt it might help a little. Forgive me if it doesn't! i hope things work out for you, though. :)

    :(.
    I'm kinda the same, it can take a while to move on if you really like someone even after rejection, because you don't just stop liking the person. I understand it's easier to move on by meeting someone else. But these things always take time.
