Why do I find it so difficult to have a relationship? Am I too picky?

Question - (14 August 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 15 August 2009)
A female Italy age 36-40, ** writes:

I'm a 23 year old female, postgraduate student (will be graduating this year), working part-time and looking for a full time job. I have plenty of male friends and they all tell me that I'm very attractive, smart, confident and mature for my young age. most of them have asked me out but I just want to be friends with them as I don't feel any attraction/chemistry.

I've been single for more than a year and I can't seem to find any man whom I like (and likes me back). I end up meeting many guys at work and when I go out but I'm never interested in the guys who approach me as I find them physically unattractive.

The last 'relationship' I had was a long-distance one more than a year ago; I fell in love with the guy but there was no future for us due to distance so he broke it all off within just a few months as he met somebody in his area. Before this fling/relationship, I had dated a couple of guys there and then but nothing serious developed.

I've now reached a point where most of my friends are coupled and they are always asking me questions and wondering why I still haven't met anyone. So sometimes I find myself just trying to persuade myself not to be so picky...

hey, thanks for your answers. I'm definitely neither asexual nor sexually attracted to women . I have no doubts about my sexual orientation, I'm attracted to men only (I always find myself being attracted to foreign guys!) Although the sex urge is there like in any normal 23 year old I don't want to have sex with someone whom I'm not attracted to.

A reader, anonymous, writes (14 August 2009):

Are you sure you are attracted to men physically? I though that I was picky about men, but then admitted to myself that I actually prefer women. I still have difficulties finding someone I like enough to want to be in a relationship, and I definitely can fall for a guy emotionally/ intellectually. But when it comes to pure sexual chemistry I prefer women. And this admission has made me a much happier person and as a result I actually end up finding some men attractive for who they are and not for what relationship they can offer to me.

Or you could be asexual or in need of loosening up :)
