<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I've been single for a few years, since a breakup with a long-term girlfriend because long-distance relationships are hard. I've finally decided to get back into dating, but it seems to me that all the interesting people are already taken, or aren't interested in me. I've been turned down, or blown off multiple times over the last month or so. It's really dampened my spirits. I have a good opinion of myself, I'm not trying to throw myself a pity party, but sometimes it gets frustrating to finally put yourself back out there only to get turned away. What advice do you have to someone looking to date but getting turned away at the door?

I realized this was super vague thanks to /u/intripletime, so here's some backstory.
    My last girlfriend and I broke up because we could rarely see each other. Between my military requirements and her school duties there were very few weekends we could meet up. She was the girl I was convinced I could marry, so when the breakup came I stopped wanting to date ever. This was about two years ago, and I've now got a steady career both civilian side and with the military, and now I'm hoping to find someone I can spend my time with. Any women I end up talking to either invariably reveal that they're spoken for, or that they're not interested in seeing me. As far as why, a common answer is that they're not over their last relationship. Understandable, as I've just barely gotten over mine. I'm unsure of what I can do to get my foot in the door with dating, because it's been a long time and I've come to realize I'm not very good at it.
