no luck meeting women

Hey for starters im new on here. Basically im in my final year of university and after splitting up with a long term girlfriend of two years over the summer im struggling to find a girlfriend, and its starting to get me down. While i was with my ex-girlfriend i barely did as much as look at another women and as a result i have absolutely no female friends/contacts. In the past few months since splitting up ive met a few girls on the student nights out while drunk but not managed much more than a kiss. The only success i have had has been with 2 girls who i had the chance to have sex with but chose not to as they were, lets say 'less than desirable'. To be honest i am looking for a relationship rather than just sex. Now im not great looking but i have made vast improvements since starting uni, ive put on a stone by going to the gym, wear decent clothes and tend to look after myself a bit better. (was well skinny, had **** haircut etc b4) I have no problems talking to women, am generally pretty confident and positive, and genuinely a nice person. Im not shallow either, im quite happy with someone whos average looking and has a decent personality (although im quite partial to foreign women) so i cant understand why i only seem to be able to attract below average looking girls with poor personalities. Surely i deserve to be able to find a nice girl who i also find attractive? its not that much to ask for is it! I dont know where im goin wrong, maybe im looking in the wrong places, ive joined loads of clubs etc, language course but no luck as of yet. O well rant over! any advice by anyone will be much appreciated, hopefully ill find someone by valentines day lol! nearly forgot happy new year everyonel x

I don't think you'll want the kind of girls you most easily meet at uni (in clubs) for a long-term relationship anyway. Don't worry, loads of people manage to find the right person outside of uni. Don't be desperate to find the right one straightaway, it's something so special for a reason - it's supposed to be quite difficult and therefore something to be cherished! Basically concentrate on stuff apart from finding a great girl and it might happen without you expecting it.

uh, so average looking women who have reasonable personalities are hard to come by?

To the op, are you sure you would be satisfied with an "average looking girl", many guys say that, but would describe an actual "average" girl who doesnt meet their standards as a total minger.

Anyway you make dating sound so boring, its sounds like your advertising for a maid or something, just have fun, go out more and if you meet someone you really connect with, go for it
