I think their suggestion was that your teenage experience is not indicative of the experiences you can have out in the wider world.

Dating as a teen is a serious social enigma. You are limited in who you can meet, and everyone knows everyone. That fundamentally changes everything about finding and retaining a partner.

You are still very young (in terms of "finding love"). I know it can feel like you're missing out, and of course we all crave companionship, but you should know that as your life goes on you have the opportunity to meet all sorts of interesting and kind people from all over the world and a variety of walks of life

If you put your focus on developing your hobbies, exploring the world and its varied experiences, and surrounding yourself with people and environments that are good for you, then you are likely to find more genuine, natural romantic connections just by forming non-romantic relationships along the way.
