I´ve been single for a year and a half and I´ve started asking myself: why am I so unlucky when it comes to guys?

I´m 22 and I´ve only had one not very serious relationship, with a guy who didn´t treat me very well over a year and a half. I feel I´m OK attractive and guys do flirt with me however I´ve never had an emotionally fulfilling relationship. I don´t think about it that often, but a few times I stop and think it´s frustrating.

 

Somehow it´s always either guys I´m not interested in, or drunk guys who are just after a one night stand, or guys that just want to flirt for the sake of it or guys I can´t have.

My most recent disappointment was mini-crushing on a guy who I thought liked me, I thought he was sending me some signals, I got quite excited but turns out he has a girlfriend and I´ve probably misinterpreted the whole thing. Once again, I want him but he does´t want me. When I found out I just thought to myself "of course, were you really thinking there would t be anything in the way this time?", it´s just disappointment after disappointment and it´s becoming routine.

 

This last "romantic defeat" got me a little sad and negative and I´ve started to wonder why it feels so difficult and rare to find mutual attraction when everyone else makes it seem so easy to find. How the hell do people happen to fall in love with people who fall in love with them while I always seem to end up with a mismatch? I´ve almost forgotten how it feels and I feel sad at the thought that nobody that I´ve liked have ever really liked me for the right reasons. The intimacy of a relationship sounds like a phenomenon from outer space to me right now.

 

What´s wrong with me? Is it something about the way I approach guys? I´m average attractive, very fit and always try to look good, but generally very shy, could this be the reason?
