That is one of life's great mysteries. I have the same problem and I wish I knew how to turn it around.

I wish I had anybody interested in me, annoying or not.

I call this the vicious cycle of attraction.

I would love to have someone interested in me, but I doubt they'd be able to handle all this unbridled affection.

@dash224 I relate to that so much

Then maybe you should tone it down.

Maybe the fact that you can't get that guy makes him attractive to you idk

Well he came onto me first, and so I was interested too. I guess he lost interest, but it still sucks.

I’m sorry to hear it. It sucks. It’s a fairly universal feeling most people can relate to at some time or another. The causes tends to be less universal though. It’s down to the individuals and timing involved, and a billion other tiny factors that make it fruitless to really obsess over. What I can say is this: Ponder the question- “When I like someone they don’t feel the same way, when I’m uninterested in someone they like me...” Then realize that the person you aren’t interested in who likes you may be off somewhere asking the same question. You are the person that they like who doesn’t like them, and they may have someone they don’t like doing the same to them. So why didn’t you like that person back, or another one, or another? What were your reasons for passing on them? Even if there are no obvious similarities- if you dig to the root you may find the deeper truth. That sometimes no matter how awesome we are, we aren’t what someone else wants.

Don’t take that harshly. A trip to Europe can be awesome. A trip to Japan can be awesome, a trip to Disneyland can be awesome. However someone who speaks French and wants to see the Eifel Tower will likely pass on a trip to Hapan if they’re waiting for a trip to France no? It’s all perspective. It still sucks, I’m sorry, but it isn’t a negative reflection on you. Keep trying to be the best version of you that you can be, but don’t feel down about the version of you that you are right now. You are who you are, and that person is or isn’t right for who someone else is, but as you go along you’ll find people who you like and like you back. Someone out there is going through this too, and one day you will find each other of you keep searching, and then that will be that, or at least for a time. Best of luck.

Maybe you have high standards?

Thanks @guest_ you definitely made my day

What’s wrong with having high standards?

High standards are good. Keeps the creeps and lowlifes away. But unrealistic standards will bring you loneliness

I don’t think I have unrealistic standards.

I dont think so either. Just spreading general words of wisdom.

I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just giving you a possible explanation why you get the unattractive guys but can't get the attractive guys.
