What better topic for a teenage girl than boys?

I don't have very good luck with boys and I could really use some advise from anyone besides my friends because they all tell me different things.

I have had too many crushes to count but let's start from the beginning.
4th grade: met a boy-became friends
7th grade: confessed our crushes for each other but didn't want to date because we were too young.
9th grade: I gained weight and he went off with the skinny blonde in our grade.

Junior year part 1: met a boy#1-asked me out- went on date to a terrible Mexican restaurant where he proceeded to tell me that he had brought his last few first dates to the same restaurant and sat in the same booth then called the waiter by name-told me in full detail about his life and his mothers breast cancer (I realize how hard it is to open up about this but on a first date?) - took me to a movie- told me I was beautiful- never been told that before by a boy- held in hand in the movie- took me to ice cream- held hands- put arm around me- didn't kiss- he became clingy and didn't stop texting me- I told him it was making me uncomfortable- he got offended- I stopped texting him- he got hired at my work a few months later (talk about awkward)- stalked me at work- he got fired- haven't seen him since.

Junior year part 2:met a boy#2- became not so close friends- was not very secretive about how much I liked him (but never straight up told him)- took him to girls choice- had the greatest time of my life- phone crashed lost his number- told him I lost his number in school- he jokingly laughed and said good then we talked but I couldn't help but feel he was serious- never got his number- he didn't text me for months-got over him(I thought)

Junior year part 3- met a boy #3 - flirted back and forth- heard some bad things about him- got confused- decided I needed to be more assertive- texted him telling him I liked him and if he didn't like me back to tell be so I didn't waste my time- while waiting for response boy #2 texted me for the first time in months as if nothing happened (as friends I considered this rude not as a crush) - asked him why he hadn't texted me- said he was sorry and didn't realize it hurt me- told him I liked him and don't want to become friends again because it hurt last time to be forgotten like that- boy #3 texted back and said I was cute but he thinks lots of girls are cute and didn't want to start anything-boy #2 said he had no clue I liked him and said sorry but he just wanted to be friends- All this happened in one day (except meeting boy #3 I had known him a while)

So ya. As of now I don't have a huge crush on anyone but I'm kind of scared of hurting myself again. None of these boys did anything wrong, I just got my hopes up then got hurt because of that and I don't want to do that again.

Uhg. Why don't guys like me?
