    I will say that I am picky and I dont put myself out there. I'm also fast nature everything I do is fast including relationships. Which drives them away but I dont find out that I'm going too fast until it's too late, and they break up with me.

    I don't think I know, I know why. It's because I'm aromantic asexual, and have about as much use for a relationship as I do for a third nipple.

    I have no luck with people IRL i think because I am shy and not super attractive (but I think I'm beautiful and so
    is everyone else in their own way), but people online always like me really quickly because I talk and laugh more and
    they seem to really like that.

    But I always have a problem with it because I may like them a lot, think I am in love even, and then that
    love will die, and I think we are super close friends, while the other person might still be further behind
    and always stay there, so it gets a little weird from my side, but I have only told someone I don't love them
    once (when he was always telling me he does) after... a year of telling them I do and that made them
    very unhappy. I'm kind of in a situation like that again, but I don't think I will tell him that anytime soon.

    I met another kid on my gaming console last night who seemed super into me, let's hope
    we don't go down that path.

    I don't know why this happens every time.

    I'm quick to blame my looks an issue, but in the grand scheme of things I'm pretty average and I think it's an easy thing for me to place my lack of relationship/inability to date on it. If I were more attractive I'm sure it would be easier, but I don't think it's my main issue.

    I'm very introverted and quiet and stay to myself, don't get out a lot, kind of a shut-in. Live in kind of a smallish area; afraid of getting close/vulnerable with another person... especially given some "quirks" about me and things about me that I feel like most people wouldn't be comfortable with. My one and only relationship ended over 2 years ago and I've still been too afraid to venture out and meet someone new since then. Struggle with mental health and genuinely want to improve/become healthier before I enter a relationship with someone, which is another huge factor in my trepidation with dating.

    I also don't mind being single a lot of the time and enjoy the freedom that comes with it, but I do feel afraid of being single for the rest of my life, if I'm being honest...

    At the moment, I choose to be single. I enjoy my life the way it is at the moment and I feel quite comfortable with it. Being single, I have more freedom in doing the things I want to do. Being an introvert, it helps me with taking and having days/weekends just to myself without having to explain it, or needing to consider a boyfriend's needs as well.

    I have gone on quite a few dates but most of the time, I was left with the feeling that the person sitting across from me didn't fulfill what I was looking for. More often than not, authenticity, readiness for being in a relationship and thinking highly of themselves, became an issue and indeed major turnoffs. After giving it lots of thought I felt more at ease with letting things happen on their own terms. In the meantime, being single, is great.

    1) I live in a place where being gay is illegal.
    2) bottling up my feelings all my life damaged me beyond repair.
    3) confidence issues.

    The reasons I wouldn’t be able to find a boyfriend.

    I am overweight and that’s a big turn off for most people here.
    I am above average, education wise.

    The reasons I won’t be able to maintain a relationship even if I find a significant other.

    I have commitment issues.
    I tend to lose interest in most things after 5–6 months.
    I am very insecure and become very possessive when I get insecure which is a problem.

    Something is very wrong with this world, it is illegal to love but legal to hate.

    - shite social skills
    - working 60+ hours per week
    -unwillingness to date people who aren't queer in some way (and preferably only other bi/pan people)


    oh yeah, someone above mentioned though I had forgotten - pretty ugly by most people's standards. I mean, I actually think I'm quite attractive by what gets me going, but unless you like bears you probably wouldn't like me.

    I live 5 miles up a mountain and haven’t talked to anyone barring my family, some of their significant others and my dog in about a year. Not my choice just zero social opportunities.

    I miss having a boyfriend, but I still didn't find anyone interesting enough for me. I find most guys and girls boring, stupid or simply too different from me.

    I'm believe I'm really picky, but I don't think that's a problem. Of course, perfection isn't real, but I also don't think I should just pick anyone, without considering some basic characteristics I value.

    Im open for a relationship If I find someone interesting. In the meantime, I enjoy my time with my games, friends, books, family and pizzas (without having to share! Muhahahahha) :wink:

    Long list:
    - I have developed commitment issues over the past few years
    - I'm scared of potentially being in a relationship with either gender
    - Dealing w/ a lot of internalized self-hatred related to my sexuality journey and the anti-LGBT culture I grew up in
    - I might be out to my immediate family and my close circle of friends, but I feel that having a same-sex relationship would open up wounds that were not explored before. If I date a girl, the bisexual question becomes complicated in terms of how do I tell her/when do I tell her
    - General self-esteem and self-confidence issues
    - I'm unaware of when people crush on me
    - I move around too much and don't have time to build up a real social life
    - There are people who I admire and respect that I have not come out to and I know they are not pro-LGBTA
    - Depression and anxiety issues make me feel like I wouldn't be a good partner
    - My weight issues
    - my political views on non-LGBT issues make me feel like I wouldn't be accepted by a same-sex partner or even by a female partner in many cases
