You're fine. Most early dating is un-needed drama anyway. It's better to establish yourself first. I didn't start dating seriously until I was 23... I was married at 29... I don't think that's weird at all. Especially in youth, we want the approvals and affections of the opposite sex, and when that is lacking, we feel that we are somehow broken. That's really not the case. Since the maturity levels aren't there yet... especially for the guys... and hormones are in full bloom... dating in HS and early college can lead to some lifelong regrets...

Instead of thinking you are missing out, just focus on doing what you love.. eventually you'll connect with someone who loves you for who you are and what you do.

well if you never really put yourself out there, like give some dude a signal every once in a while
then yeh, it's normal. :S

I think it's totally normal, and that Vexorg is right about the unnecessary drama. It's really only a matter of time before you meet a guy who is mature enough to know what he really wants out of a relationship, and who will love you the way you deserve to be loved. You just have to wait for him to grow up -- most guys your age just aren't interested in the concept of a real, complex relationship with all of its nitty-gritties, and just as (I imagine) a guy wouldn't want to be some girl's boyfriend just because she wants to not be single, I imagine you wouldn't really want to be someone's girlfriend for the sole reason that he wants some girl to hang out and make out with.
