Why am I always told that I’m loved but I really don’t feel anything? Why am I loved my family but not anyone romantically?

For example my dad passed when I was a lot younger and I knew he really cared about me and his close friend and I just had a conversation a few months ago and he said that I was all he talked about and how I was the love of his life, my grandparents told me they loved me, my mom tells me, my best friend tells me, etc. However romantically I am having no success and I’m terrified of even putting myself out there again.

I think that will change once you fall in love with some one.
