Will I stay single forever?!

I am a young woman (28), but I have gone through constant heartbreaks and disappointments from men, and I lost hope on my capacity to find a man with whom I find reciprocal love and respect.

My last (serious) relationship was 4 years ago and since then everything has just been going down hill. At the beginning it was fun, but for the past 2 and a half years I have only found myself suffering from one situationship to the other.

The majority of the man I have dated break up with me, usually because of geographical reasons or because they just want to be friends (aka unknown reasons). I move and travel a lot because of my work and, as much as I am willing to compromise in a long-distance relationship, I even have the will to relocate and stay in one location if the right person asked for it. But non of the men I've dated (even for months) have been willing to compromise to any of the options.

They want me to "follow my career path", which is the reason that "made them attracted to me in the first place" . So quitting would make just a girl waiting for a guy.

I of course have my issues, as any other person does, but as much as I try to portrait the best I can of myself, it seems like they always loose interest in me. They do not compromise, they cheat or just friend-zone me.

I consider myself to be sort of pretty, smart and have good humor and I understand that I am still young and have a long life in front of me, but the rejection is becoming exhausting and is destroying my confidence one day at a time. Same speed in which the fear of getting older gets worse as days pass!

Am I being paranoid? Am I loosing hope too quickly? Is it that I am in the wrong and need to change something?

Is it the millennials that are just incapable of compromise? WILL I BE SINGLE FOREVER?

I only want someone I can share my life with, someone I can take care of and be a teamplayer with...

UPDATE FOR CONTEXT: I’ve been talking to/seeing this guy who I really like and have strong feelings for, but he hasn’t shown much interest in visiting or planning a trip to see each other.

Which I understand means “he’s just not that into you”. I am coming to understand and accept this and it just really hurts me… Which brought me to this post.

& to the Guys who think I could take care of you, I wish! I work really hard, but unfortunately costs of living in 2024 are ridiculous and we’re all out here surviving. Hopefully I can make enough soon to not worry about it!
