People who think they'll always be single, why?

Aside from one relationship that lasted about 6 months, I've always been single and I'm 29 years old now. It's not because I'm ugly or anything, because I've had people interested in me and dated them very short term, but I've always broken it off. It's strange because they were people if you described them on paper, I'd say they were perfect for me. But when we were together I felt nothing. I think there is something psychologically wrong with me, but I've been to therapy before and nothing was really resolved. I guess the thing is I don't want to be in a relationship so much as I really want to be "in love", something I've never actually experienced before. Although I guess that's not really accurate, I've had/have unrequited crushes that are I guess as close as I've ever gotten to feeling in love. I just would like to experience a mutual love.

For the most part I'm content with life, but the loneliness is crushing at times. I figured I might just be depressed, so I'm starting to work out, eat healthier, participate in in hobbies that put myself out there more.
