Fed-up of being single

I'm 25, and I've been single for a year and a half. I think half of the problem is that I've had so much bad luck with men. From the ages of 21-24, I was in an abusive relationship with someone who cheated. Within the past year, I've met 2 guys who I developed feelings for, but both were only interested in sex, and used me liking them to their advantage.
I've been on 3-4 dates in the past couple of months, but again, it become apparent that most were just looking for sex, or I just didn't click with them.
I found that it was easier to meet guys when I was at uni, but I'm 26 in a few months, and I feel like most people are settled down at this age.
I have a good job, I'm educated, and have various hobbies and interests. I see myself as kind, I'm told I'm funny, attractive, and easy to talk to.
I can be shy and quiet, but I just need time to be fully at ease with people.
People always tell me 'you'll meet someone soon' 'it will happen when it happens' etc. and I'm sure they are right, but it's tough.
I know there are advantages to being single, but I just find it so hard to meet anyone, and I'm starting to get a little depressed by it.
I know there are so many people in this boat. I've tried dating sites but again, no luck, just people who were only looking for casual things, etc.

A year and a half isnt long at all?

I do not understand why you are complaining. I am 28 and I have been single my whole life.
