Why am I single? (Not a whinge)

[luckykaa]

I met up with a nice girl today.  We got on okay but there was no sparkage.  Had a nice time, so this is all fine but I'd rally like to know why. 

This isn't a whinge or a whine?  I'm pretty okay with this at the moment.  I'm mainly confused about it.  More to the point it frequently causes me problems and I'd like to be able to solve it.

I'm reasonably good looking, I'm intelligent, can make people laugh, charming, have good prospects, give good hugs and have warm hands and feet.  Often guys with none of these attributes seem to have more luck than me.  Guys with many of them often seem to have less luck than me.  Clearly these factors are completely irrelevant.

I have been asked on a number of occasions how I'm still single.  This is always by girls who are not remotely interested in me.

It's all very odd.

edit: Have added comment screening by request.  If you don't want to be unscreened let me know.

I hear what you're saying, but it can give quite a strong "alternative" vibe and for ordinary occasions (and meeting new people) you might do better to cultivate your own version of "smart and normal". It's a look that can't really go wrong, and you can always let the brighter side of your wardrobe out to play whenever appropriate.
