For starters, not willing to be a booty call.

I think it depends on a lot of factors. Maybe he's embarrassed to introduce you to his family or his friends because of the way you look (this can range from being too skinny, boobs too big, tattoos, height difference etc.), or maybe he just doesn't want anything serious. Sometimes you just don't 'click' and there's really nothing you can do about that.

I'm happy, successful (relatively, at least ), motivated, educated, look decent and I'd like to think I'm a fairly nice person (I have a large group of friends and receive plenty of phone calls/texts from people who want to go out and do stuff) but I can't even get a date. Sex? Easy. A man actually interested in dating me? Nearly impossible.

I think some people are just naturally better at relationships. One of my best friend has been in relationships constantly since she was 16 and she's 29 now. She's been single for about 6 months and it's the longest she's ever gone without a boyfriend. It comes very naturally to her, but definitely not to me considering I've had 2 boyfriends at the age of 28.

Perhaps it's just fate and timing

Booty-call:

She is hot, and as a guy, you're neurochemicals are firing off like the cannons on day three at the battle of Gettysburg (1863), and the sex is phenomenal but on some instictual level you know that it will never work out and keep her at a distance and out of your life enough to let her know that. You enjoy her company, as well as the sex and are willing to stay on the roller coaster ride as long as it will last, not investing too much of yourself into her or the relationship.

Relationship material:

She is attracive, but something about her is different from all of the rest of the women you have known. You feel a certain way when she looks in your eyes and when you look at her there are times when it is almost as if she is the only woman in the world. You sacrifice most nights of what could be total F-ing, and instead make love and want to lay next to her afterwards and well into the next morning. As time goes by, you begin to realize that she has a brain and can form advanced logical concepts with it and she becomes a necessary component to your life experience, not just physcially but emotionally as well.

When these things happen, though, I wouldn't stick around. I'd just find someone else.

In the last nightclub I worked in we called it a bodybag.

Mix equal proportions of 151, Rumplemintz, Jager, and Goldschlager over ice & strain into shot glass. The bigger the glass the better.

In the past it was timing and....

1) cool person, but horrible on paper (finances etc)

2) cool person, but coming out of a divorce/ separation

3) single mom (no instant family thanks)

4) cool person, we both mutually agree, just looking for fun

Passed on some women who were awesome females, but had over 100k in student loans. No thanks on bearing that burden with any hope of ever having a family.

Oh, since you didn't really specify in the original post i just figured you were some guys fwb and wanted to move up to girlfriend status.

As far as the stud comment, its like a lock and a key. a key that can open many locks is a master key, but a lock that can be opened by many keys is a s*itty lock.

I have a booty call, or two . They are just simply a decent lay, but aren't good enough for relationship material. Most booty calls are girls that you could see resorting to in the end if you had to, but most of the time, you just aren't into them enough to pursue a relationship.

IMO, I lose a lot of respect for somebody if they are "easy". Usually the booty call girl made this mistake right off the bat. They probably came on way strong and made themselves easy. This is the start of the slippery slope to becoming booty call material.
