Hi, my name's Derik as you can see up above, I've been single since the spring of freshman year 2010. I've had 2 actual girlfriends, but I wasn't able to build a very personal or loving sort of affection towards either of them in the end, both relationships were on and off for about 5-6months for this reason. In terms of being a good boy friend, I was told by both individuals that I was the best boyfriend they'd had up to a point after our relationship ended. Plenty of my friends and acquaintances are curious as to why I've been single and try to set me up with girls at random. In terms of "good" or "close" friends that are girls, I usually call a specific individual quite often, hang out, and get to know them to the point where I guess it'd seem we were on the verge of dating, but I've noticed that usually once it gets to that point I start to distance myself from the individual and move onto someone else(the girls don't seem to let go the same way I do though which is why I have a group of them sort of sitting on the side lines right now : /). Out of about the 250-300 girls that attend my local high school, and are residents in the town or nearby towns, I don't really feel attracted(I'm not a homosexual) to any of them in the sense that I want to be in an intimate relationship. I do have an idea of the type of girl I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if I'm just not being realistic, or as the title says, too picky. What do you guys think?

Thanks and getting hurt isn't really something I'm worried about, I've been fine after my break ups in the past with little or no grief. I stay friends with the girls after the whole ordeal, but I feel like a jerk when I realize that they actually have feelings for me : /

Well they're not so much expectations as they are preferences but, brunette, around average height, athletic/average weight, an interest in athletics or at least running, an interest in gaming, an idea of what they want to do with their life, good social skills, virgin, not too moody, realistic, an all around positive personality and yeah. I'm not sure how to get more detailed than that, however in terms of beauty/looks er whatever, I'm just the kind of guy that's kind of undecided in that area, but I have a general idea of what "look" I suppose I'd like for a future girlfriend to have.


Sorry about this being poorly processed, not very good at communicating detailed thoughts

That sucks man hope everything worked out in the end.

sounds like it could be a bit right.
