Noticing girls after they've gotten into a relationship

I don't know why, but many times I don't notice some girls before they get in a relationship with others. Like not even considering a relationship with them before they get hooked up with someone else. I've had 2 of those experiences in the recent two years (one last month) and I regret not doing anything about it earlier, cause they've really shown some interest in me, and well I've liked them too, but I just didn't think that much about it, back then. It's stupid, because I am looking for a relationship, but it just feels like I'm so blind to this stuff sometimes.

Anyone else than me who has been this stupid? And why does this happen?

How ya doing, buddy?

Thanks for all the input! At first I thought no one was gonna post but it seemed to have changed now! Anyways, on to the topic.

I dunno if I'm in what you call high school, as I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the American/English school systems (just can't get the differences into my head), but I'm 18 years old at the moment so that should be it right? And yeah, I have been thinking the same thought as you, that I might get a chance later, but it's impossible to know if that chance will arise.

That's happened to me too (not exactly though). I heard from a friend that this girl which I really liked had a crush on me. And I was like, woah awesome then I'll ask her out. Then I found out she already had a boyfriend (and she still has). Great.

I'm very aware of that, and really I don't just pick anyone. However as it feels now I've been without anything for 2 years just because most good picks are already taken or blindly put aside not considering a relationship with them until they've been taken too. It feels like I've really learned from my experiences now, but alas, there's absolutely no single girls left that I'd want to be in a relationship with now. At least any that I know of.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
