It's called mental projection. In spite of talks about hearts, feelings, butterflies in the stomach, or whatever, it's just a work of your own mind. I guess you are young, and your mind still has this naive wish to externalize, to unite with something else. This is sadly not possible in this world, and you will just accept it with time...
One advice - learn how to not put too much in this stuff while young. It's draining, and this is wasted energy that will never return. Ask older people - emotions are draining, once they go, they go, especially this kind of emotions. To make this happen, you must first understand why you do these projections. And most often they are selfish, since we are selfish species. This means that in most cases you just can't be helped outside. Neither it's possible, nor anybody will really care... There is the opposite topic in the forum - how to prevent someones "romantic advanced" in the "best way". There is no "best way"... The person will hit the wall of his own mental world one way or another... This is just how life here works... Everyone is living in his own mind... So it's important to understand and accept you are alone, and start digging where your feelings of insecurity come. In 99% - it's the childhood. Since this is the period we felt fragile, dependent, we were forced to make these projections toward our parents, so we can survive. After the puberty, we start making them towards other people, based on the biological sexual drive. For some, it works, for many - it doesn't... Sooner or latter, you understand in which category you are, and just accept it...
There are objective reasons for not working for some. IMO, too sensitive people fail. Too loving people fail. Too introspective and deep people fail. Success is about being more pragmatic and self-centered, even selfish, move easily from person to person. The most people you "try", the better chance to find someone that will "work" on practical level. It's a numbers game, it's chaotic, it's messy, it's egoistic. This is how actually life works... If you grow up and preserve some of your deeper emotions, maybe you will create "normal" relationship some day (if that is your goal). Even if it fails for you, you must be still grateful, since IMO, success in the Earth's "love game" rarely shows good character...
