I (26F) have had a few flings here and there, as well as an on and off situationship that lasted for years, all with men who never wanted to commit to me. I get hit on a lot and am generally considered attractive by many men. I sometimes even get stopped in the street. I’m genuinely not trying to brag, just trying to show that I don’t think my appearance is the issue.

There have been men who consistently pursued me, but once they actually got to know me, I felt them pull away. When that happens, I tend to get very anxious, which often leads to conflict and ultimately the situation ending.

I have a solid social circle, hobbies, a law degree, I love fashion, and plenty of interests, so I would not describe myself as boring. I just don’t understand why the men I like don’t seem to take me seriously, yet often end up in committed relationships shortly after things end with me. I’m really just looking for some advice on what I might need to do differently.

EDIT: Most of my experiences have been with men that work in nightlife, are artists (music artists, photographers), that get a lot of women. Just thought I’d point that out.
