<human>: This is something that's been bothering the hell out of me for awhile now. 

I think I'm turning into one of those girls who feel like they need to be in a relationship to be happy. And the ironic thing is that I've only been in one real and what I count as serious relationship since I high school (im twenty now) that only lasted six months and happened a year ago. 

It's just, I feel like I am so happy with everything else in my life. I have a great family life, I make great grades studying something I enjoy, I have a job in said field I'm studying in that's lucrative despite the fact that people say my major will never make any real money. I consider myself an introvert, but I've got a couple real close friends and acquaintances I hang out with. 

But for the life of me, relationships never work the way I want them to. 

And I know that's stupid and irrational to say, I don't have supreme overlord abilities to control the universe, but is it too much to ask for things to fucking work out when I like someone? Instead of, every time, some ridiculous aspect that makes things complicated? Can I not receive the attention and effort I put into someone back for once? 

I know you've got to be patient and give it time and that there's literally no way to rush these kinds of things, but damn. 

And I hate it. I don't want to be that chick who needs this perfect relationship to complete her, because that's crazy unrealistic, but I don't know how to stop. 

Advice Appreciated.

<bot>: It never seems to work out with guys I like, I'm so happy with everything in my life but can't manage to be happy with my love life at all.
