I'm 14, and well it feels like I "chase love" too much trying to find someone usually online or just random crushes on people I basically dk. It's mostly unserious in the end after "intensive flirting". Adding how hard gay teen romance is realistically should I just save the hassle and try again when I'm older?

that's a hard thing to have to deal with, i know the feeling. The best advice i can give is to never force something, like anything in life, rushing it will end up creating misunderstandings, sadness, anger and much worse.

If you feel like you don't want to deal with the bad i'd say keep a healthy distance but don't close yourself off. And if you don't mind the bad and want to continue trying to potentially create a connection with another, i would suggest not losing hope and being patient, while not undermining your own mental state.

seems better to just give it a break

If you feel that way it's likely the correct choice, I would say wait out till you're 18 and see what's happens from there

Hmm, what do you mean by that? If I might ask

just a small sense of jealousy when I see some couples, Ik that's bad and I shouldn't

you ever feel like you want something even though you know it'll hurt? kind of like that

I think it's perfectly normal to want affection, if you think it'll hurt I'd advise really taking it slow at the least or wait altogether
