I think theres a difference in finding 'love' and dating.
If one dates easily, but struggles to find LTR or love, it's probably a personality/communication/behavior issue.
If one struggles to date, they may not be as attractive as the competition and overlooked. And if said person doesn't have the social or personality to make up for looks, they will be in serious trouble.
Before you talk down about yourself for 'not finding love' while others are, keep in mind how many people settle and are in relationships just for the sake of having someone or something.
That being said, what strikes me about things is the dearth of real quality people out there. If anything (heaven forbid and knock on wood) ever happened with my wife, I don't know that I would ever get back in the romance game. There's just so much muck you have to wade through to find a diamond, and the diamond density definitely drops as you get older.
Everyone is different, and has their own, personal challenges in terms of relationships (this goes for people in relationships too). There certainly is no one generalization that would be a catch all.
I really believe (and this is borne out by psych studies) that a lot has to do with ones upbringing. Our personalities and characters are formed when we're children and teens.
Some are brought up in households and experience childhoods which are more conducive to forming intimate relationships.
Some aren't.
Looks.
Occupation.
Morals.
Religion.
Social
Inability to communicate
Anxiety
ADD
OCD
Depression
Confidence
Distrust
Anger issues.
Immature
Attracting the wrong kind.
Not patient
Not their time yet.
