I never asked/self esteem issues/too quiet anyway. I'm kinda amazed but not really surprised at the numbers we got. 80 for self esteem issues.

I don't KNOW any girls primarily. After that there's the crippling lack of selfconfidence and/or over-exuberant desire which just comes off as creepy stalkering.
I'm currently in college, where if you're not particularly into the "go to nightclub/party, get drunk, take a drunk chick home and fuck her, rinse and repeat" routine, you're antisocial, regardless of what hobbies or interests involving other people you might have.
Take me for example. Nearly every night, I go to an MMA club and train in Boxing/Muay Thai/Jiu Jitsu. I also go running or go to the gym on a fairly regular basis, and go rock climbing once a month with some random people from my college.
Yet, according to one of my roommates, who is a dumbass, I'm not social because I don't "go out and mingle with people"
I gave it a chance. I went to parties when I first moved to residence, but they were nothing more than standing around playing beer pong, and not really doing anything interesting.
I just haven't met anyone I'm interested in lately. I generally find one or two women I'm interested in a year. Then it turns out they're either too busy, live too far away, or already in a relationship.
But apparently he got a girlfriend and stopped training. He was a good sparring partner. It was a shame to see him go. I don't ever want to follow the same path.
I hope if I ever do get into a relationship, it'll be with someone who I can enjoy some kind of physical activity with. Whether it's running, rock climbing, martial arts (I can only dream) or even just going for a walk.

I can relate to that, somewhat. At a Karate/MMA dojo that I used to train at, there was a guy I knew that was pretty good at boxing and had plans to get into amateur MMA fighting.DSEZ said:

Low selfesteem. Just can't get used to the fact someone genuinly likes me, since I know some stuff about me that would annoy me...
Overall I do good, but I'm usually too thick to see a flirt, or too thick to see whenever I can try one...

I guess by choice, mostly because my ex was a whore and I don't want to have to deal with anything like that again for a while
I had a boyfriend. He was a wonderful man and a good friend. But I felt no magnetism between us. In addition, I felt as though we weren't on the same intellectual level. I'm not saying I'm smart, and I'm not saying he's dumb. I think he's just immature and not on my level.
I broke up with him five years ago, and he has asked for me back a few times. I can see that he has grown a bit, but I don't think I will ever date him again.
I have been asked out a few other times, and I have kindly denied them all. I have never felt attracted to any person in such a way. I've been attracted to intelligence and talent, but those don't make for good relationships alone.
I'm always on the lookout for when the right man will come, though.

"Other": I recently moved to a foreign country where my command of the language is survivable, but not good enough to be interesting / amusing / witty. Given that the relocation was entirely my decision the "By Choice" response is loosely valid also.
All I can say to those of you who've never asked or been asked, and who're low on self-esteem:
Say Yes More.

I just haven't met anybody recently who I'm interested in going out with - I see girls all the time that I'd like to potentially ask out when I'm at university, but since I don't have any classes with them or anything, it's next to impossible to actually talk to them and get to know them.
It's a mistery to me! Nah, I think it's a combination of not really feeling comfortable in relations and being somewhat picky.
It's amazing to see some friends having a relationship with the first love/date they have in life and then keeping it going for years! They manage to make it look like they're quite happy!
