Is it normal to still be confused?

I'm not even sure how to ask this.
Over the past couple years I've tried out all kinds of relationships and they all seem to end up sinking. I'm a 26 year old guy. I dated a girl in her 20's for a couple years and we broke up after college. Then I dated a two girls in their 30's and those ended too. I'm currently dating a 19-year-old and I'm about ready to call it quits (by the time most people read this the relationship will likely be over). I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't seem to find the right kind of girl. I tried dating a few guys and it was fun I guess but at the end of the day it turns out I'm not into that. I hate getting into new relationships having to tell someone your secrets in the hope that they don't freak out or have elephant sized skeletons in their own closets. I honestly feel like I am too old at this point and I should curl up with 28 cats and strap in for a cold lonely life. I'd like any advice or anecdotes about what to do or how to feel and obviously I wonder is this normal?

    So, by my count, you've had six or so short relationships and are ready to call it quits?
    How many tries did it take to learn how to hit a baseball, make a basket, ride a bike or whatever else you've tried and succeeded at in life?
    Perhaps you just have a knack for getting everything right the first time, but not the dating thing?
    Get a grip; this is real life and there's nothing easy about two human beings learning to be together and loving each other.
    My first marriage was great, but my second was much better. This one is like a cake walk compared to either of the others.
    Or quit and get the cats and regret the life you could have had, when you are my age.

    You haven't met the right person.

    That's why I give up on chasing people. It's just not worth the time and effort to me because it never seems to work out in the end. If I happen to meet the right person I'll probably give it a shot. If it all works out, great. For now I'm done trying to play games. It seems when you try too hard it doesn't work.

    what is it about the 19 yo that's making you bail? I mean it also doesn't seem like there is a clear reason why your relationships end.

    Do you just want to be left alone all to your secrets?
