Why can't I find "the one"?

Checkin' my ego at the door.

I don't get it.

I'm a nice guy. Well, maybe that's the problem. A friend of mine once told me "you need to be more like a cowboy."

I don't know. I thrive on humor. I try to undersand and accept people. I do, however, have some typical guy moments.

I watch sports. I drink beer. I listen to loud rock music. I tend to be attracted to, um, certain features of a woman's anatomy.

What's wrong with me? I couldn't tell ya. I have this tendency to second-guess myself, to remain quiet, and not to "make the first move." Afraid of rejection? You bet I am. This boy's been bitten one too many times. But maybe that's it.

Superficially speaking, I'm no Tom Cruise. I'm more Jack Black than Brad Pitt. I'm definitely no Heath Ledger, but then again I'm not quite Michael Moore either (looks-wise). Blue eyes, brown hair, and a killer wink. That's about all I can say. I'd post a pic or somethin' but I don't know how. If I figure it out, I'll do it.

Stay tuned.
Edit: Just figured out that the External URL feature is for links. Duh.

Women are suckers for a sense of humour. Speaking for myself if a bloke can make me laugh he is half way there. I don't know how old you are, but I will say this, you have plenty of time to find your one. In my opinion that is the most special thing, and it is worth the wait, if we could all just wake up and find true love, it wouldn't be so special. Time will tell, and until then have fun trying to find them. Good luck

Thanks, all.

To answer a few questions (and add a bit): I'm 32 and have been engaged twice. I've been in about seven serious relationships, none of which have lasted over four months. Maybe... and this is mainly a fear I have... I've just had my quota. Many people go through life without ever having found love at all, so who, really, am I to complain? Still... I think everyone deserves to find "the one," even if they don't find that person. Now, whether or not God/fate/the universe/psychic Sylvia has that in store for me (or for anyone else for that matter) is really not within my realm of control.

But thanks for the optimism.
