I'm 22 and I've been in 3 relationships and have slept with 5 men (one was a fwb situation and the other just didn't work out long enough to be considered a real boyfriend.
I'm starting to get really upset because I feel like I've slept with a lot of men already to only be 22 compared to my friends.
It's just every guy I get into a relationship with seems to totally change after several months of dating. The longest one of those relationships lasted was 2 years and the rest were under 5 months. It just seems like every relationship I've been in became poisonous. The first guy turned into a drunk after hanging out with a new crowd and started spending all our money, and overall just a bad person. The second guy I wound up taking legal action against after he started stalking me everywhere I went, broke into my home, and threatened me. The last guy couldn't seem to get his parents to stop dictating our relationship (his mom called several times a day) and wound up lying to me about where he worked and what he did for 4 months before I found out.
I don't get it because I don't choose men who would seem that way. Every one of them were in college or graduated, had a good job, were religious, had friends and came from a good family, and seemed like great guys.
I've been single now since April and I'm starting to feel really sad and alone. I've tried online dating, but all the guys online are sadly gross. I've gone on a few dates with them and they all turned out to be really weird...and not in a good way.
I'm feeling super depressed now because one of my best friends is married with a baby, the other has been in a committed relationship and will likely be engaged soon, and all of my other friends have boyfriends or fiance's. Then there's me and people are starting to wonder what's wrong with me that I can't find a guy.
It doesn't help that I mainly work at home and every guy I meet on my college campus is either too young for me or in a relationship. I know most people will say join some clubs and stuff, but I've already done that and every single guy I take an interest in is taken.
Please help! I'm tired of being so alone.

Hi! I get it, dating is hard. But at 22, there is no reason for you to be worked up about marriage or dating. You have plenty of time! Also, having slept with 5 men is OKAY. At your age, things are still left to be figured out, and that is totally fine. If you are looking for someone serious, ask a friend to set you up! Friends end up giving the best dating suggestions if they know this person. If they know them, and you are good friends with the person giving the suggestion, the guy will be great! No-one knows you better than your friends and family, (family is weird to talk about dating with though) so asking them is the best way to go. Tell your friend what kind of guy you are looking for and they will talk to their friends, boyfriends, fiancée and husbands, and they can probably find a decent guy for you.
