My last relationship ended on a sour note, so I've made a conscious decision to avoid a repeat.
In short, by choice.
In short, by choice.
I would like to say all of the above in some combo. Partially by choice as I am still on the point of my life where I haven't settled down yet so there's a lot of moving in my future. I also think of the whole idea of love as a romantic way to explain our instincts to reproduce.
I am too shy to go for it.
I'm not fat and I wouldn't say I'm that thin... anymore... I would say I'm too ugly, but that might just be my self esteem so I want go into too many details.
I'm weird in the sense that I am a geek, got very dark humour and got no faith in humanity.
I would guess low self esteem and cynicism are the biggest parts of it. I don't think anyone can ever be interested in me, and if they do show interest I believe that's mainly just a cruel joke.
It's hard to pick one, but I think low self esteem is my major point.

This post however did make me fall a little in love. A cynic with low self esteem just like me.Nicolefranklin said:
almost everyone is blaming their weight or low self esteem. so, lose weight. the self esteem rises as you get skinnier, trust me. also, association with the escapist can only make you a cooler person, so if you're here, there's no reason for low self esteem-we're all awesome!!! ^_^
I'm fucked... Also I know lots of people like this, but they all go to my very very nerdy uni.General BrEeZy said:
Lack of interest and not much choice. Hate to say it, but all the nice girls are virtually undateable, and all the hot girls are either a.) Stuck up bitches who think they are too good for everyone except older douchebags who should be in prison, or b.) The occasional nice girl who I unfortunately never go out of my way to become friends with.
Further explanation; I go to a very small school and am in my third year. So anybody that I would date I have already dated. Unfortunately all the girls in my school have decided that there is a select group of about ten guys, most of them douchebags, who they will ever go out with. Its pretty sad to see happen, and I refuse to act like a tool to get a date. So my dating life is on hold till I get the hell out of the shit hole we call Tanque Verde High.

Because I broke things off with the last person, and haven't encountered anyone I like who is also single. When the window opens though, I will strike. Just have to wait for "Hector" (Hector is Souplex's universal title for other men who swoop if you take too long. There is only currently one guy named Hector filling that role but there are several "Hectors") to falter.
Never been asked or asked anyone in my life. Don't see it ending well. Also feel that I would never been accepted.
Hah, bless ya! And I must say, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were describing me. Only difference is my cynicism and "bah! humbug" attitude will win over my low self-esteem any day, but then again, my cynicism is a result of years of low self-esteem. But yeah, you're not alone dude!Yopaz said:
I never asked/self esteem issues/too quiet anyway. I'm kinda amazed but not really surprised at the numbers we got. 80 for self esteem issues.
I don't KNOW any girls primarily. After that there's the crippling lack of selfconfidence and/or over-exuberant desire which just comes off as creepy stalkering.
I'm currently in college, where if you're not particularly into the "go to nightclub/party, get drunk, take a drunk chick home and fuck her, rinse and repeat" routine, you're antisocial, regardless of what hobbies or interests involving other people you might have.
Take me for example. Nearly every night, I go to an MMA club and train in Boxing/Muay Thai/Jiu Jitsu. I also go running or go to the gym on a fairly regular basis, and go rock climbing once a month with some random people from my college.
Yet, according to one of my roommates, who is a dumbass, I'm not social because I don't "go out and mingle with people"
I gave it a chance. I went to parties when I first moved to residence, but they were nothing more than standing around playing beer pong, and not really doing anything interesting.
I just haven't met anyone I'm interested in lately. I generally find one or two women I'm interested in a year. Then it turns out they're either too busy, live too far away, or already in a relationship.
But apparently he got a girlfriend and stopped training. He was a good sparring partner. It was a shame to see him go. I don't ever want to follow the same path.
I hope if I ever do get into a relationship, it'll be with someone who I can enjoy some kind of physical activity with. Whether it's running, rock climbing, martial arts (I can only dream) or even just going for a walk.

I can relate to that, somewhat. At a Karate/MMA dojo that I used to train at, there was a guy I knew that was pretty good at boxing and had plans to get into amateur MMA fighting.DSEZ said:
