I think I give up

I've only been back in the dating world for about 6 months and I think I need a break already. I am just not finding anyone who 'suits' me. I meet a guy, it seems great, I never hear from him again.
I think I am unusual...I have strong opinions on things, and while I don't voice them to strangers, it must come out somehow when I talk about other things. I'm not perfect looking, but I'm not that bad, either.
I keep looking for a type, but wonder if I am looking at the wrong type? I'm drawn to people with a certain kind of sense of humor, who seem very dynamic, but I think they are looking for someone very different than me. I've been told I come off a little standoffish...I'm really quite shy, but try to cover it by acting cool...I'm not sure how much I should show of myself when I meet someone new.
It starts to make you feel so crappy about yourself. I'm a nice person, I treat children, animals, and the elderly well...so why can't I meet someone who is nice to me and wants to be with me?
Sorry about the self-pitying...it's been a long day.

Hi,
Dont ever appologize for venting. Here is where to do it. I know your frustrations. Its sadly part of the game. Most of us hate the game. One thing to remember is there is nothing wrong with you. Unique and different is good! Be happy with who you are. YOu will attract the right guy. I am different too. I have taken looks at some other women's profiles online and think that I am nothing like them. But I know somewhere out there is a man who appreciates us for who we are.
Dont give up. Take a break every now and then but never think its hopeless.
