<human>: My last relationship ended with my ex girlfriend cheating on me.  That was hard to take, because I had never been cheated on before, and it caused me to experience a lot of self doubt about the way I looked.

I spent a long time consciously working to get past that, but these days I face a pretty constant amount of rejection, and it's hard for it not to take a toll on my self esteem.  After a year of failed dates and pretty much constant rejection, it's hard not to think "the only common factor here is me.  Maybe my ex was right and I just suck and someone could do better than me."

It's stupid, because I know that to date someone, they need to be excited about you, and need to want to meet you, but I can't seem to meet anyone that's excited about me.  It doesn't make any sense to me, since (for my friends) the step seems simple: meet someone, ask them out, if you like each other continue to date them.  But for me, even getting first dates has been difficult.

I'm attracted to a large set of women my age, I don't think my standards are too high, I just rarely meet people I truly hit it off with.  I've been starting to feel pretty bad about this and I'm afraid I'm starting to internalize it.  When I was out of my last relationship I had a can-do attitude of like "sure, it'll take some time, but I'll meet someone" and I'm afraid it's starting to slip into a "well, why bother" phase that I realize isn't so great.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I've been starting to feel like my opinion of myself (wrt dating) is deteriorating because I haven't been able to meet anyone I've liked for quite a while.
