I lost at 17 to a German girl (exchange student) Then a French Then Philippine All exchange students. Each of them was a year long relationship I even went to see all of their families. I slowed down after I graduated I am still with my high school love. According to your op I'm a loser but I sure did enjoy being a loser. All of them I loved and wanted a long lasting relationship, but one year was all I could get until I met my wife and now she is all I want.
