Hi Prince
There are 3 things you said here that you should be aware of...once you understand your own emotion, you will (hopefully) learn how to deal with it. Over time, I hope you will be a better person with strong character.
1. 'easily fall in love'.....this is infatuation. It's common to everyone. Regardless of age. For teenager, it's loosely called BGR, crush, infatuation. For adults, it's loosely called love affair [!] ha...you are not alone.
We are all attracted by anything 'new', ''refreshing', 'interesting'....be it people or things - we are just curious by nature. However, it is also this same curiosity that trashed a relationship.
Be genuine and sincere when making friends. Grow your social circle and you will find the right match. It's too 'boring' to keep liking others and not 'liked' back.
How to find out what you like? Too bad...there's no short cut here except experiencing characters of different kinds and asking yourself what qualities you like best.
Next, you have to develop those qualities yourself so that others 'looking out' will find you attractive too : )
Unfortunately at this age, 'attractive' usually means cosmetic looks so learn to look beyond that. When I said 'look beyond', I do not mean neglecting your appearance. So continue to maintain a simple, clean, and hygienic appearance
and work on other qualities.
2. We all have ego. Learn how to deal with your pride and be humble and you will go a long way. The problem with most people is that we are not good with words and most of the time, insensitive in our expression...so just in case you are rejected...dun take it to heart. Learn how to improve your 'move' and character and not resort to 'not sms her' kinda thing. Be gracious cos there is no harm having another friend rather than another foe.
3. The fact that you can identify this little episode shows that you are a positive and mature person. So, read and evaluate what is said and apply appropriately.
Last note, there is only so much I can write, so learn to sort out your thoughts and enjoy the process...good luck!
