And maybe the women feel put on the spot by being asked for their number.
It's tough being a guy in the dating world sometimes - they have to take so much risk

These women who say you're great and "perfect", OP, have they tried to set you up with any friends?

If you're good-looking, and have a great vibe, like you indicate in your first post, the women should be gravitating towards you. Get involved in your community. Give them a chance to get to know you, and warm to you.

One girl I asked her to hang out and she said that she would like that and that i'm very nice. 2 days later, I tried to arrange something and she made a BS excuse and did not try to reschedule. I contacted her a week later and she didn't respond and hasn't contacted me since

Another girl said that she would like that when I suggested a hangout after getting her number...she didn't respond at all when I tried to contact her

Etc...

It just boggles my mind how difficult it seems to be to get a date

These things happen. Don't be banging your head against the wall, that'll just make it worse. The best way is to place yourself where you can let them get to know you and discover that you're a cool guy. Nature will take its course.

Which all goes back to my first post -

He is clearly doing something wrong, subconsciously I'm sure, that is keeping women from thinking he's date/mate material because women who know him as friends rave about him, but he can't get a woman's attention otherwise.

Until he can attract women to him, they'll never have a chance to get to know him. So he's got to figure out what messages he is sending out when he is in public among folks, or just talking to women on the phone whose numbers he's managed to get.

1 is too old to set me up with her friends. The other 1 said that she would do that but hasn't followed on her promise

Talk to your women friends like I suggested and get their input
Exactly. But taken further if he is what he says he is it isn't all that long before he meets a woman who will lead him through the entire process making sure he doesn't screw it up along the way. It doesn't add up.
