Super lonley

So idk if it's just me or if anyone else has this problem but... This is weird let me explain

So I'm almost 16 but I've been interested in dating but I never really have crushes on anyone either so I don't have anybody to ask out or get to know

I don't have many friends but it's like nobody but my best friend will actually talk to me like nobody likes to talk with me but her and I've had issues with getting more friends and being bullied for about 3-4 years (untill about last year) and because of that I've felt like something was wrong with me because it felt like everyone hated me and I'm not exaggerating it literally was a thing for others to pick on me and very mentally draining and the last 2 years were kind of a break from that but I've haven't been able to meet more friends or meet a potential bf /gf so I feel extremely lonley. It's hard trying to friend people online because I keep having to block creeps all the time I just don't know what to do at this point and I guess I'm wondering if I can find some friends or a bf (I'm 16 and I'm in littleton colorado) or if anybody know where I could find more friends
