<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

and really gets thrown to the side when brought up. I'm a 16 year old male and I really don't know how to go about getting a girlfriend, I have never had a girlfriend but I have hooked up with a few girls. The few girls I interacted with were never serious and I was the only one really interested. I am also very bad at small talk, I am just unable to think of anything relevant or interesting to talk about whenever I talk to people I know but am not good friends with. I'm not an awkward person though, I really never cause or have awkward moments/situations anymore than any average person. I really want a girlfriend, not want in a desperate way but in a down to earth rational way, I want to meet someone I share things in common with but I'm not really too picky or anything. I don't have super high standards just the average girlfriend will do. I have no idea how to pursue this goal at all, I'm just not good with the whole let your natural instincts take over. I feel like I don't have those natural instincts to begin with. I mainly don't know where to meet girls at, or how to strike up conversation and hold a meaningful conversation that is simple but not boring. Lastly I don't know what to say or talk about to help escalate a relationship to being more than friends.
