I was only a little bit younger than you when I went on my first date. I would consider myself relatively handsome, but only since I've lost the weight. At the time I was incredibly obese (still got a bit more to go though!) so that kinda crosses out the "handsome face" for most people.

I'm not recommending this approach for everyone, but what I found worked for me was not really having any standards at first. A lot of the issues I had were due to being shy and introverted and since I hadn't really had any female friends I didn't even know how to talk to women at the time without feeling completely weird.

Once I met a few people, went on dates and had some relationships I became a lot more comfortable. It became easier to relate to women and it made it easier for me to approach them, and for them to approach me. My biggest issue was putting a relationship, sex, et cetera on a pedestal and once I got over that hurdle and realized it wasn't a big deal my outlook improved dramatically.

The biggest takeaway though is often people will focus on a need of their's being met, without thinking about meeting the needs of others. You need to make sure that you're someone other people want to be around and have a relationship with. You can be tall, intelligent and wealthy, but if you have no hobbies or interests outside of a PC and you don't take care of your appearance most people are going to give you a miss.
