You don't have to look for older guys. There are plenty of guys in college looking for a serious relationship. Are you involved in any activities on campus, outside of classes? Try talking to some of the shy guys. Don't hesitate to initiate conversations.

As far as meeting older guys goes, just go to older guys type hangouts, not a problem. Basically any place that serves alcohol that is not a nightclub.

What else do you have going for you besides your looks?

If that is all you have to offer then you are going to have a hard time finding a quality man that will take you seriously.

The good looking men you are after have multiple options.

You need to bring more to the table then a cute face.

Cute woman are a dime a dozen.

This. You just haven't met the right dude yet. And in university, there are guys who don't even try for women, bc they don't believe anyone would be into them, or they don't have the cojones to approach women, or they're too busy working and studying. Some of the dudes who'd be the right ones for you might be in those categories. Be friendly. Find 'em, then draw them out.

You sound like me. Exactly. Same age, same situation, and gender. I don't think your appearance is the problem. I personally think you're attractive. Could just be bad luck. Romance just hasn't been the cards for me my whole life, and sometimes I think it may be that way for the rest of my life lol. I'm being dramatic but it is possible. Guys I don't like crush on me. Guys I do like, either pretend to like me, only to end up with another girl or something else gets in the way. .
That happens to me constantly.

Are you in a college town or a decent size city? Why not try out OKCupid or Match? I'd stay away from POF as its more a hookup type site, don't get me wrong there are relationship minded people on there but OKcupid seems a bit more so than POF and match even more so than OKcupid.

I'd shoot for guys mid 20s to late 20's, all guys are gona want sex for the most part but guys a little older will actually be more likley in developing a real relationship and will be more likely to want to get to know you first.

I've heard that, but I've also heard of a lot of serious relationships and even marriage in that age range.

This. Fortunately, people aren't herds. They're individuals, and there's all kinds out there. The more mature ones will be into LTR's at 21 and up.

There are plenty of guys out there who would want to date you. It is possible however that while you say you want 1 type of guy you really want a different type and that is what is creating the problem.
