16 and haven't dated once

what the title says

im generally a very closed person by choice and i barely speak to other boys or girls simply because i don't want to and instead, i only really talk to close friends (either be it a boy or girl, doesn't change anything)
a lot of people know me and want to get closer to me but i just can't get out of that mindset no matter how much i want to
because of this i've never approached a girl with the intention of dating or getting to know each other and i'm not interested in flirting at all either
this attitude at first makes me seem rude at first but i assure you i try my best to be as respectful and kind as possible and the others seem to think that i'm "one of the best boys" for that reason
in general, people who i actually open up to find me really fun and relaxing to talk to but since i rarely ever do that, guys and gals always see my serious blunt side and they get a bad impression, not to mention how i mostly always have a neutral face
as for looks and hygiene, don't even get me started, i spend countless hours on my bathroom every day trying to look my best no matter what. people tell me its excessive but i care about EVERYTHING when it comes to my body, especially for a boy it's considered really unusual. anyways i don't think im the best looking guy in the world as my face up close always looks a bit messy even if i do everything to ensure that i'm clean, but i've had countless people compliment my body and i've even had cases of girls i know and don't know making suggestive moves on me just because of that.

i'm getting a bit offtopic so i'll just stop here, and ask this:
should i be worried that i'm not going out with girls, or let alone anyone at this age? the world doesn't revolve around having a girlfriend/boyfriend but i feel like if i don't make a move now i'll never have a chance again. it doesn't help that i don't even have a messaging app to text anyone (even my closest friends) because of how much i isolate myself in the first place

If you want to stay isolated and alone, then that's your choice. It does take effort and getting out of your comfort zone to talk to new people and make friends. If that's something that you want...then that's great! But some people just aren't comfortable coming out of their shell. If you want to approach a girl, or boy, and get to know them better....it has to be because you are truly interested in them, not because of what "society" thinks should be the appropriate age for dating someone.

U have everything working for u but u seem not
to have much confidence in urself in regards to
keeping friends. Do u have the belief that u r not
worthy of urself even tho people do like u and find
u respectful and nice. I think u do not think that way.
It seems u get too serious and this is what seems like
is blocking u in getting acquainted with girls. Just keep
being urself like u have been doing and if a girl seems
interested get to know her better and compliment her.
The world may not revolve around finding a partner but
it is better to make a move when the time is right and
u will know it then. Forget ur serious side and keep the
interesting side that u now have.

confidence is something i'm clearly missing, whenever i feel confident things just have a way of working out
i have moments where i randomly get confident out of the blue and everything just starts to flow nicely, although i have no idea what triggers these moments which makes this very inconsistent
i do try my best to think positively and i ignore everything that tries to rid me of my happiness but i still can't control my confident self at will, it always surfaces at the most random times
i'm not shy either, i have no problems talking to girls or boys im interested in
its just that, most of the time i never bother doing anything or opening up because of those aforementioned confidence issues and/or because most of the time i don't even feel like talking

Something is blocking u in thinking positive of urself when
u open up to people. U have to get a mind set that you are
confident and get it across to the friends that u r making. Ask
questions of them and c what things they r interested in. U have
to open up and get a conversation going. If u don't want to talk u
r defeating the purpose. Show them ur interesting side.
