How Can I Like Someone Or Fall In Love With Someone

I feel as I'm never ganna let my self fall in love. I could like many guys and talk to them and maybe feel like I want to be with them, buy later I start to think about everything in my life and family and I feel as he's not ganna like they way I have to be. So I tend to just stay away. Then when I do find someone I like so much they are not interested or just want to be with me as a friends with benefits, so I stay away from them too. I don't know what to do my ideal guy is different from what my parents think is a perfect guy.....it frightens me that I will fall in love and just because my parents are old fashion the will force me to give him up.
