<human>: So here's the quick and dirty version:

I am a 26 year old female who has only had one serious bf (20-22). We lived together, he proposed, I said no, he then became very violent and abusive. After I was able to run away he stalked me for many months following the end of our relationship. 

And I suppose to go back even further, my dad passed away when I was 13, and my mother was a violent abuser as well. 

I've sought therapy, I've come to the emotional terms that I need to with my past and I have been ready to move on.

I've "dated" (this whole online thing all feels like its lacking a sort of "genuineness" to it, or maybe it's just me) a few guys here and there, and nothing seems to hold. I wonder if maybe I'm acting clingy without realizing it (I try not to text too often before a date, and I try to be myself as much as possible). I don't bring up my past or make any hints towards it (honestly, its kind of embarrassing, so I don't tell too many people about it). It's been a year and a half since my last date. No prospects either. But I haven't really been looking at this point since my prospects are so grim. I've tried OK Cupid, Match.com, r/r4r, hell even EHarmony.com. I've made tons of friends at my university, and I have plenty of hobbies and activities to keep me busy. Work isn't an option since I work for a really, really, really, small attorney's office. But nothing has really happened for me, and I'm getting pretty lonely. 

So my question is, how can people who have had, for the most part (with the exclusion of my friends), mostly poor interpersonal relationships have or learn to have successful relationships when getting a date is pretty difficult?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: wanting to get into the dating pool, but since I've never had a healthy relationship, how can I have a successful one if I barely even get dates?
