Well I reckon there is a few reasons, I'll try and briefly outline some of them below.
- Lack of social circle, I've had this issue all my life pretty much. I wouldn't say I have no friends they are just few in numbers! Until I finished school and in work for a few years I was super quiet, barely spoke to anyone, never spoke up in lessons or anything. Even now I'm still really quiet around people I've only just met but kind of normal around people I know, even then I still have my quiet phases. This inevitably leads me to getting friend-zoned by most females I happen to take a shine too as it takes me too long to feel comfortable to even think about asking them out. So my only real chances are at work with co-workers, which normally leads to me being friend-zoned before I know it. Probably classes as slight social anxiety? (I've never really looked into it)
- I don't really go out, if someone actually came upto me and said, fancy going for a few drinks or cinema etc then I'd more than likely say yes but I wouldn't be the one to suggest going out. I like peace and quiet to much!
- Appearance, I wouldn't say I'm bad looking but I know I'm far from good looking, having suffered later on from quite bad acne after only starting to get it at about 17/18 with it only really showing signs of recovering over the past year (although it still flairs up from time to time) it certainly didn't help my confidence (which isn't exactly sky high any of the time). I also have a bit of a belly (not like huge but could do to lose a stone, maybe a touch more, I'm about 5'8/9 and about 12 stone), I really need some motivation to get out on the bike to shed the weight, probably wouldn't even take that long as I've cut back on food already and started drinking plenty more water (where it was previously tea).
- Finally, it's annoying but every person who I think could be a potential girlfriend seems to be in a relationship, don't know why but I just seem to become attracted to women already in a relationship which is a touch crap.
One day I suppose I'll find someone. One day.
