Hello everyone. I want to know why I'm still single, in your opinion. I know there's no real 'right' answer. Okay...here we go!

I've been single for about 5 years now. I'm not terribly picky, so I don't really have a 'type' that I go after. I'm a little shy at first, but I'm friendly to everyone that will at least smile at me. I like to do anything, and I mean ANYTHING as long as I'm with someone else. I can sit and play video games all day and then go play basketball or something the next day and be perfectly happy to do it. I'm not too girly, but not too tomboy either. I like to do things boys like to do, like fish or go camping, but I can spend a day at the mall too. I'll try my best to keep someone happy, even if it's at my own expense. I'm not controlling. I get a little jealous, but not over stupid things like a guy having a few friends that are girls. I consider myself to be very smart, and I read a lot. I love to watch movies, especially with other people. I have an athletic body type, not really skinny or fat. I'm a little short, and I know I'll never be gorgeous but I'm fairly certain I'm good looking. This is me in a nutshell. So, why is it that I'm still single? I go to college and meet new people every day, but it seems like the only people who have ever wanted to be with me lived so far away that it was impossible. I probably focus on this more than I should, but it's impossible not to when every other person you see is paired up with someone and you're the odd one out, especially since I've had lots of time to see this happen over and over.

I'm so sick of being single I could scream. Why am I still single?

I work at Panera Bread, and at our store we call people up to get their food. When me and a few other guys work we scribble our number on the napkins of every decent looking girl that comes through. I met my current girlfriend that way, obviously not the norm, but with stupd stuff like that man, you never know. Girls admire confidence, so random numbering isn't such a bad idea.

Just be charismatic, if you've got the looks girls will at least give you a chance to talk to them. In the early stages of the relationship, focus on the girl, they love talking about themselves. Don't bring your interests into it until she asks or you really feel whipped. Single or taken isn't a matter of being boy or girlfriend material, its a matter of effort.

youre description of yourself is great, now you need to start putting it out there! im single but im always looking around, and i never let anything get me down, thats probably the main fear, what if i get rejected or so on,

well let me tell you, i saw this girl on a bus one time, she was reaaaal cute, so i scribbled my number on a peice of paper, grabbed her hands (GENTLY) and put the paper in he hands and said "give me a try sometime?"

i never got that phone call, so i laugh at myself at how pathetic she must have thought i was, but it dosent get me down, its just 'one of those things' surely theres some single, good lookin guys right under your nose, your just not looking.

(just a suggestion) try going out with friends, maybe to a small party thing, not a huge drunken dance floor full of one night standers, but anyway srry if im not much help,im only 15, but goodluck!
