Why date?

I've been single the last year and a half, or as I like to call it almost 2 years. Which really doesn't seem like a long time until you hear that I'm 34 (or almost 35, you can see I'm super into the "almosts"). To me that's a lifetime and makes me think of all the things that are wrong with ME. But as I think, I begin to realize that it's not me. It's the men I choose(which could be a part of me). I secretly think that men as much as they like to complain about women and drama, that they are actually the ones that crave and seek out the drama. I have been in relationships all too often that end and the ex ends up dating some crazy ass bitch that creates more drama in a day than I had in 1 year. Is it that I am boring maybe or a bit to normal for the "average" man? I do admit that I grew up in a "normal" family. Some called it the Brady Bunch for a number of years and I do slightly admit it was. My Dad was always super involved with my life and attended every game, play, recital I've ever participated in. There was never a short supply of hugs and kisses and the I Love Yous flowed like "The". My parents also had the "normal" relationship, even holding hands at the mall as I walked behind them completely mortified. The yelling match when I was 10 was "why can't you be like everyone else's parents and be divorced" As I see them now I wonder what happened to me? I date like I have Daddy issues and seem to always find the biggest loser in the room. I'm hoping that writing down all my dating experiences, I will maybe be able to figure out, what the crap went wrong?
