This is a serious opinion poll, I'm looking for honest answers from the ladies. Maybe you can tell me why it seems so dammm difficult to find a woman who would want to at least start a good friendship in person and see where things lead.

I have, what I think to be some great qualities in a man. I am..

Honest, genuine, sincere, loyal, good sense of humor, a man of my word, depndable, romantic, caring, spontanious, adventurous, financially secure, not a flake, etc, etc.

My idea of a romantic evening would be one like talking an evening stroll on the beach, after having a nice dinner out. Sitting, watching the sunset, letting her lean back on my chest while we sit and I just hold her, we talk, laugh, be playful, I might sneak some little kisses in on her neck and cheek from time to time. Maybe give her a little something to remember the evening, like a special flower or token of some kind.

So with this information..can you tell me why it seems to be so tough for me to meet a woman who would enjoy this? Am I going in a wrong direction? Is it my physical appearence? I know I';m no Bradd Pitt type and I'm not real tall, but I am in decent shape and have lots of energy. I think I am able to communicate well and hold a good conversation.

So whats my deal?? I have been told by all my friends, who have known me some 20+ years, I'm a very "nice" guy and a great friend.

So whats missing for me!!?? This is an honest sincere question and would appreciate some feedback.

really nothing, I would date you in a second!

Dude, this so effin rocks! Awesome post. Can't wait to hear what they have to say!

everything sounds great.maybe you should consider something called speed dating.

Sumthingdifferent..

The only thing wrong that
I can see is that you live so far away..

some people just cant appreciate a good thing when they see it.

well sounds good to me except your older than my dad so you would qualify as that and you live too far away.

A lot of women out there arent looking for a really serious relationship, well at least the ones that are my age arent. There isnt anything wrong with you and you will definatly make some woman very happy. I think at least with sites like these woman are looking for a guy who is near them not 5,000 miles away. But the funny thing is there are guys in the area who wouldnt give us the time of day. I mean I am totally looking for a guy like you but, no offense, I am looking for a younger guy.

DAmmit.....me too......you're a cutie with all those nice extras.....wanna move to Oklahoma????

You might be choosing the wrong sort of women...You seem like a genuine person. Sadly not too many of you guys out there.

You know, i've heard about that... never could find a place that held it, though >.>

cute young guy like u doesnt need speed dating

Thanks for all the commments. Looks like most all are very positive. Guess my main problem is "location" and in some cases "age"..and I understand both of those reason.

So at least I have hope! Thank you all for that!

It makes it easier to hang in there knowing there is actual "logical" reasons of why I have not been able to find that special someone yet...maybe its time to move???

What is speed dating? I guess its just for us old farts?? BTW, I'm only 42 and can outlast most 22 year old bucks in most respects. So I'm not "old" more like coming into "middle age"

Oklahoma is nice this time of year!

My sister tried speed dating once... she ended up with a DUI took out three mailboxes in the ensuing crash. I told her "That's NOT what I meant by speed dating", but you know how it is with blondes...

<---whispers in his ears...Canada....

Are you asking about just meeting a woman, or having the woman not be interested after meeting her?

If it's the latter, you might be trying too hard? I personally don't want romance right off the bat - I want to get to know the guy before there's cuddling and kissing. I've been told "I love you" on the second date, and I made sure there wasn't a third date.

Also, make sure you know what the woman is looking for - just like some guys really prefer blondes or redheads, some women prefer certain things. My particular thing is height, a tall guy really get my attention - but someone I had a VERY serious relationship with is what "I" would call short. He just made sure we were friends and then started sneaking the romance stuff in when I wasn't looking. :-)
