Single Redditors, why do you think you are single?

You mean good looking and tall? From my experience girls are attracted to a lot of things, just like men. At one point I was too shy to approach girls too, but once I got over that(as a general rule of thumb in life the only thing to be embarrassed about is being embarrassed) I soon stopped approaching them as I want the girl to approach me(personal preference). If I see a girl that I fall in love with on the first sight I have no problems approaching her though, it's just that lately I haven't fallen in love on the first sight...not for years actually.

Personally I tend to have impossible standards, but I also forget or completely ignore or change my standards all the time. Most likely I don't know what I want, though I also do know what I want. It's like I, or my desires and wants, exist in some sort of limbo.

Also I have this tendency to want things only as long as it seems like I can't have them. Which is why I am now double guessing myself all the time; even if the perfect girl is flirting with me I might not flirt back, or put the brakes on in other words, just because tomorrow I might have second thoughts. And I am certainly not someone who would enjoy one night stands(or am I?).

Maybe the biggest reason that I am single is because being in a relationship makes life too complicated, and I am lazy as fuck(though fucking is the one thing I am not lazy at). I also second guess every love interest because it might just be my dick talking. Not getting laid for a few months tends to lower standards quite a lot.

I'm a walking contradiction.

Self confidence is a funny thing. On one hand I have no problems thinking that I am the perfect choice for anyone from their perspective, it's just that from my own point of view I am not sure if I am.
