There is another thing you could be suffering from. I don't know the technical term for it, but some people call it "martyr syndrome" - you're taking on bad guys because you think you can solve their problems and change them. That, again, is related to self worth. Perhaps you're confident when it comes to some things, but not confident when it comes to men.
Stop dating and look carefully at the type of guys you're attracted to.

FoX15 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI always thought that I have a lot of confidence, even more so now that I've come to a point in my life where I'm more independent etc. But it seems like all I have are losers in my life, guys that treat me bad, and i let them. I don't know whats wrong with me. I've never been more ready for a serious relationship, yet here I am. So this adult dating?

 Yes, CaringGuy has completed the thought process. He said what I should have. He is right on target.

Yes, there is a relationship between low self worth and the way you are treated.
The lower your own self worth, the more likely it is you'll be treated badly. It's certainly not too much to be treated with respect and not play games. But if you have low self esteem, perhaps that's why a woman would be with a guy that bad. A woman with higher self esteem and self worth would walk away.

No, it is not too much to ask. A relationship built on less than that is doomed to fail.
