Maybe you are coming off as dull or boring. Where do you go on dates? What do you talk about on dates (are you always talking about yourself? Could you be coming accross as conceited or something?) What do you do outside of work?
Exactly. This is why I asked him what else he brings to the table

When I was online dating at about your age I went out with a LOT of guys like you. Once.

They were the ones who had plenty of stability, but nothing interesting to say.

I've found out if you hang out single (minus wingmen)and dress a certain way, you'll get attention. Suggestions like seeing a movie, getting a coffee (I love coffee!), some type of convention (job or hobby related), eat out a inexpensive bar/grill or a resturaunt, window shop (because it gives them a bit more time to check you out!)

Learned all these the hard way because I was taught the wrong way all these years. Had a mom and daughter follow me around a pet store when I was looking at the turtles. Saw the reflection of her in the aquarium and as I turned I smiled and nodded and made my way to the ferrets... so did they. Made my way to the birds, so did they. We talked about those birds with the red dots on the cheeks and tried to make one speak but to no avail. Then her boyfriend walked next to her and that was my cue to leave, haha. She was quite the looker too.

Highlight of the day let me tell you.

EDIT: Places to avoid if you want to meet someone genuine: Bar, Park, Church.

"If women love stable, respectable, men with good jobs why am I still single?"

Who said that they do? The only ones who do are those who don't think they can do any better and for good reason, you are probably not interested in them.

I would love to have someone stable and not just because I don't think I can get anyone better. I would rather have an ugly boring man that is stable, than to have a good looking witty lay around and try to see how I can get out of work man any day. heck, I would even support a man just to have the companionship and a man to cook and sew for that would appreciate it

Sometimes first impression is not always the best.

There are guys who won't reveal a lot in 1st date so why not give them a 2nd date?
