I'm in a pretty similar situation myself, so you're totally not alone with this.
I've dated 9 guys in the past year, and i'm 24. I don't think there's anything abnormal about it.. it's just not a common situation.
I doubt there's anything "wrong" with you. Obviously none of us are perfect, myself included; I think alot of it is just bad luck. It doesn't mean you suck in bed, or have poor self-esteem, or anything else horrendous like that. And it's hard to accept that when you're surrounded by friends getting married and having babies.
After soul searching and consulting with tons and tons of friends, one of my guy friends of whom I've known for years finally gave me some advice that made sense to me. He said guys view me as the "wife material" and I'm unfortunately choosing men who aren't ready for that type of girl in their life yet. I don't push for committment, and I certainly don't TRY to be "wife material".. it's just me, and it's the aura I give off. I'd be willing to bet it's the same thing for you.
In the meantime, just remember to be picky with who you date.. turn them down if you don't see any potential in them. And whatever you do, do NOT lower your standards just so you can have a boyfriend! Eventually the right one will come along for both of us. Chin up and good luck. :-)
Cannot keep a boyfriend? IIN?
