when im single (which im not atm), the things that usually prevent me from finding/getting someone are:

1) my crazy shyness. gah, it's practiaclly debilitating.
2) im so oblivious, i never think anyone likes me until they straight out tell me.

Gotcha, Been there before. Won't say anymore, except that I chose my friend over the girl.

1. Shyness in the past
2. Probably coming too late, and she already has a boyfriend
3. Not making moves fast enough
4. Not knowing jack of WHEN to make a move
5. I talk to her, but sometimes it's not enough
6. I guess I don't attract my type of girl. What more could they want from me?
7. I've gone for it seven times if I'm counting correctly. So, I'd say it's a curse. A curse of lovelorn, I'm afraid.

Things that prevent me from getting a girlfriend:

My job.

wow im surprised by most the responses compared to everyone else my reason seems sort of tame.

The ones I usually like just happen to be super submissive and I can be a huge ass at times and I hate seeing/hearing girls cry ;___; . That, along with me never leaving the house ;;>_>

Earning enough money for my trip next year. Seriously, im just working & sleeping now.

...that & im obvlious if a guy likes me...most think im joking but its just that i dont pay enough attention to them...i dont know how else to describe it

I'm too busy trying to finish my studies to worry about gf.

^^That and also the fact that i am not masculine enough to
attract a female *sobs*
