Why am I still single?

Asked by wickedbetty (371points) January 17th, 2012

Just a thought, maybe someone out there can spot the thing that is keeping me single. Here it goes…

I am 25, Mormon, 5 feet 9 inches, 135 lbs, very active runner and cyclist, long dark brown hair, big blue eyes, and fair skin. I’m northern Italian looking. I feel attractive, I’m certainly not ugly…and believe me, I know ugly.

I have a bachelor’s degree and I will be attending graduate school in the fall. I work full time as a marketing director for a retailer. I spend most of my time running, working, visiting friends, and reading, listening to music, cooking (I love to cook!), and doing fun little projects.

I’m not sure what you know about mormons, but I am not the stereotype at all. I am not homely looking, I’m not a prude, and I love everyone regardless of their race, sexual orientation, and religion. I do dislike fake people, and rude people, but other than that, I’m a very nice person. I don’t have many enemies, and I often find myself surrounded by many different types of people.

I want to know why I’m attracted to the guys who never like me, and the ones that are attracted to me, I would never give the time of day to.

I also have a best friend who is a guy, and I know what you are thinking, “you are single because everyone thinks you are dating someone” not the case… I go on plenty of dates, just can’t find someone! Anyway, back to my best friend, he always tells me that I’m amazing and perfect, and that I’m gorgeous, but he certainly doesn’t want to date me. He always asks why I am single and I say, YOU TELL ME. But he can’t think of anything, yet, still doesn’t want to date me for fear of messing up our awesome friendship. I’ve never had a friend so close.

Can you please help me find out why I am single and how to fix it?!

Here are some possible things I have come up with. Before you say “Those are things ugly girls say” I promise I’m not ugly, fat, disfigured, socially awkward, lesbian looking or acting, etc.

I might be too picky.
I’m really funny and I think that intimidates guys a lot, or it might be a masculine quality that men don’t find attractive, but they find fun, entertaining.
Maybe I am in the wrong state (UT) I didn’t grow up here, and there are a LOT of soon-to-come-out-of-the-closet boys here.
