How to stop being desperate for a relationship?

I'm so sick of feeling desperate to finally have a real relationship and feeling like a loser because I'm one of the few people my age (that I know) that have never been in one before...
And yes, I've tried to get one. Many times actually. So far I've told each of my past crushes about my feelings for them and I've been rejected every single time.
Meanwhile it just seems ridiculous to me how easy it is for some people to find a new relationship after one didn't work out while I'm apparently destined to be single forever.
All that I really want now is learn how to move on with my life and just accept my "fate"...

Maybe if you stop searching it’ll just happen naturally on its own. Just continue to live your life that’s really all you can do in my opinion.

You know how they say a watched pot never boils/ a watched phone never rings? Maybe it’s like that—maybe if you quit thinking about it so much and trying so hard to make it happen—it’ll happen.

Exactly your not alone. I would try not looking for a relationship. Focus on yourself. Let them come to you perhaps? I wasn't looking for one. .and than Bam!

Most of the time they get into another relationship is because they've usually cheated or they are just taking the next thing they can find. Those don't last long. Don't compare yourself with others. A lot of people in relationships just make it look perfect, they hide the truth a lot.
