Low self esteem probably. I did ask someone a while ago, but let's just say I did it in the dumbest way possible. That obviously didn't pan out.

That or I have no desire to go out with anyone at the moment. It's kind of a mix of both I guess.

Well I'm told I'm pretty dateable, but I have no confidence with girls, so I don't really make a move on them, and I usually miss them making moves on me because I'm too busy fawning over girls who don't want me anyway. Such is life.

Self Esteem issues from middle being the one that girls would dare each other to confess their "love" to me over the phone, or in high school during trust building exercises girls would wince or down right cower at the fact that they would have to touch my hand. After things like this my self-esteem issues are very deep set are aren't going anywhere until (I believe) I have a relationship so it is a vicious cycle.

I've had relationships. They usually end in drama what with all those emotion things flying around. I don't know. I usually don't start things, but I have a low tolerance for that kind of drama and am usually the one to stop things by severing the relationship.

That said I'm not single, yet. Give it some time, it always ends badly.

I was a terrible boyfriend. That's why at the moment. It'll change soon I hope, I think I've found somebody else.

By choice. I've also got the emotional maturity of a 5-year-old, so I pussy away from any sort of involvement with someone that's anywhere near substantial.

Complications, multiple people and some other crap. Oh and I'm paranoid about commitments.


Furburt said:
I've given up. The only two relationships I've ever been in have been complete disasters, and it was all my fault. I just don't think I'd make a very nice person to spend a long period of time with.

So yeah, unless 'The right one' comes along, which I doubt, I don't think I'll be bothering with that relationship business. Or at least not making an effort, if something falls into my lap (metaphorically, you pervert) then I'll probably take it, but I won't make the first move. I just don't have the confidence.
Ahh Furburt where's the optimism? Everything's not going to be perfect all the time, but don't be so disbelieving of the 'right one' thing. You'll meet someone you just click with (clichéd I know, but there's one person I'd say I clicked with although they're just a friend) some time, I guarantee. No matter what previous experiences say[sub]*sigh* more clichés?[/sub] you never know what'll happen tomorrow.

All of the girls in this town are on the exact other end of the spectrum when it comes to girls I like. As in, I want girls who are this and this and this etc, but the girls here are all the opposite of what I'm looking for in a partner.

I want a respectable, caring, cute girl who loves all manner of hugs, is at least smart enough for me to not have to dumb my speech down or talk slowly, and doesn't smoke or get drunk like a ************. Instead, I currently get to choose from an entire town full of uncouth morons with a penchant for all manner of drugs as well as smoking and drinking on a more-than-regular basis, whose capacity for fidelity is extremely questionable, and who would much rather have sex when all I want to do is lie there and cuddle.

My standards are merely moderate, which makes it even sadder that they're simply all unfit for me. I cannot envision myself being with any of them 6 months from the relationship's inception, let alone 2 years later. And I'm not lowering my standards, because quite frankly I'm not a quitter. The girls in the general area are abominable; they're nothing special in the looks department and are all incredibly unattractive in terms of personality.

tl;dr All the girls in this town aren't anywhere near good enough for me, and I can do far better than them.

I've pretty much given up on trying to find anyone. I can't find somebody that actually wants to be a good friend with me. I have never had a girl show even remote interest in me...aside from one distant friend I have.
I guess it is because I'm not attractive, confident, interesting or anything like that. Plus I'm overly nice which makes me even more boring.

I don't put myself out there enough, and most women around my area are single/divorced with kids before they're 20. I don't want to raise another guy's kids, that would mean he'd be in the picture too, and I'm not looking for a relationship with a woman and her ex boyfriend(s).

I guess my problem is that pickin's are slim, and the ones that are available and aren't dragging around 5 kids from at least 4 different guys before they're even 25 expect a guy to have a lot of money to make them happy, and I'm what they call 'poor folk'.

Doesn't help that most of the time I get hit on by married/involved women as well.

Reading through the replies this poll needed two more choices: "deep seated anger issues toward women" and "three or more of the above."

As someone whose been around though, I have this to offer: 1. There is a lid for every pot, and 2. Nice guys finish last.

I just don't know any date-able guys. I love the little island I live on but there is no place to meet guys. I went to the bar for like 6 months with female fried. The bar was almost exclusively populated men my father's age so I stopped going. Even on the net all I can find are guys who at least 3 hours away and you have to take a ferry. That really kills causal getting to know someone.

Thank the gods for Dragon Age n_n

By choice.
Quite simply I have absolutely no interest in a relationship.
Or sex.
Or any form of affection whatsoever.
