I think I must be doing something terribly wrong. I go on a lot of first dates and I've been single for almost 5 years (since highschool) I'm about to graduate from college in December and I've had no luck. Every time I try to go further and try to form a relationship even after 5-10 dates, I am told the majority of the time 8/10 times that they don't want to "ever" date but that they would like to be ONLY friends with benefits. The other 2/10 times it's just a "no" though. They say they think I am really attractive and I always try my best to be the best gentleman possible with all of my dates. I'm just starting to feel really used and kinda sad since this has been happening consistently for nearly 2 years. It's not the types of girls I'm choosing either they are quite diverse. I feel kind of hopeless in finding love. Especially for failing on getting a gf through my entire college career when it's so easy for everyone else and all of my friends. Sex seems to be all I'm good for.

Live your life. Be the best you you can be, pursuing your own interests, and you will find the one you are looking for.

It's not easy for everyone else. This is a gross misconception. Maybe it's been easy for your friends, but plenty of guys go through college without a gf. And without FWB. You're doing well, by comparison.

OP, don't make me reach through this screen and slap your s&*t. You're in your twenties and doing better than some of us ever have. The FWB thing is what women are "supposed" to be doing in there twenties. Take it while you can get it. One of them might just want something more along the way.
