Men who gave up on dating/getting into long-term relationship/getting married, why?

Unfortunately, I have had a few similar experiences.

There was a guy hanging out at the park beside my university, we got to talking and we exchanged numbers. I told him I had to study and I would call him at 8pm. We were texting through the afternoon/evening but then he started calling me at 7:45, I told him I was still studying. Then he called me 3 more times before 8 and then he called me 12 more times. The next morning he called me another 16 times. Then he showed up at my university and stood outside the doorway for hours and one day he caught me off guard cornered me in the doorway and said "you ignored my calls, you're going to regret that" so I had to get university security involved. Among numerous other occassions of me chasing me while I rollerbladed outside "telling me to get in the f*cking car". I was just 13 at the time. I told no one. It resulted in me hiding in my basement for the rest of school holidays. That stuck with me for years.

Traumas aside, I got past that eventually and yes, I approach men. Like the two dudes I met on the street in Boracay, Phillipines I invited them to join me on a pub crawl and I had the best time of my life. One of them I had a holiday flirtation/datecation with lol. I've had many success stories and a handful of terrifying experiences that had nothing to do with me approaching. I've been told I'm very approachable, which is honestly a double edged sword at times.
