Never had boyfriend…

I feel that it’s weird that I never had a boyfriend at age of 16. Idk if it because I’m shy when I’m come in contact with a boy or what???? I know I’m pretty I get so many compliments of how I’m pretty from boys. I want to start dating because being lonely sucks I don’t want to wait till college to find me a boyfriend. Do u guys have any texting or talking to a boy tips and going on dates or how to get to know a boy??? Or how to pull a boy
