I will be 22 in less than two months. Over the past two decades I have never had the good fortune of having any women show even a slight interest in a romantic relationship with me.

I have a good (and well paying) job in a growing field & some college credit (but not a degree).That being said, I make a concerted effort to continue my education every day.

I also have a good amount of savings in my bank account- and no debt. I do not have a criminal record, the most trouble I have ever been in was a speeding ticket!

Additionally, I have a great sense of humor, and enjoy a wide variety of unique interests. I am passionate about what I do, and have always pursued my goals with success.

Finally, I am also, a practicing Christian, with a strong moral compass. My faith in God, is the guiding directive in all that I do.

Can anyone here tell me what I have been doing wrong? From what I have written here, you would think that women would be happy to date a decent person, without baggage. It is frustrating to know that simply because, I am not the best looking guy in the crowd--women pass me over-without considering what I have to offer as an individual.

What more can I do?

Do YOU actually approach women? If so how do you do it? And what activities do you participate in where there are women there also?

Ask someone who knows you personally and has observed you in social situations with the ladies present, not a bunch of random strangers on the Internet.

I have approached women- but not recently. I have had no success with that.

Most guys have a women smile, chat w/then, etc to show that they are open to a relationship. It bothers me that I am ignored, where this is concerned.

You have to put yourself out there, one way or another. There's no getting around it.

This. And I have to say, it's a little strange to embellish two decades of women not showing interest in you, when two decades ago you were a toddler.

I am aware that I need to do better on that. Yet, most guys have had at least 1 girl show some sort of interest by the time they are in their early 20s.

I think you need go back and read that to yourself

You're 22 and there plenty to pick from, just wait until your 42 and the dating scene looks like a feral cat impound in the back of a resturant

Granted. But it has still been quite a few years, and yet I have yet to experience being flirted with etc...
