Why do women keep telling me the same thing? Am I doing something wrong?
I'm 24M and I've had several different women throughout my life tell me, completely unprompted, that I'm a great guy, they like spending time with me, etc. but that they wouldn't date me. I have a lot of female friends, and I also work in a female dominated profession, so I have a lot of women in my life, but I've also always struggled finding romantic relationships. I can be pretty shy when talking to women I'm attracted to. I'm also really short in height and maybe only average in terms of attractiveness but I don't think those are dealbreakers for everyone.
In highschool a friend of mine who I never flirted with and wasn't attracted to all told me unprovoked that she would date me if I was taller. I had two seperate girls ask me to prom but strictly platonically. One of my best friends who's like a sister to me gushed to me on a camping trip where it was just the two of us about how amazing I am and how much she appreciates me, but followed up by repeatedly stating unprompted that she's not attracted to me at all. Like... thanks but also ouch... lol. My female coworkers are always organizing hangouts and trips outside of work where myself and a gay guy are the only males invited. One of my coworkers who's like twenty years older than me keeps telling me randomly that my mom did well and they need to make more men like me.
Is it just me or am I sensing a pattern here... am I doing something weird? I feel like women don't normally talk to men like that. Am I putting out little brother energy, or am I just being insecure? I would appreciate a woman's perspective.
