This question is uncomfortable and awkward, but may be a bit relevant... How attractive are the women you've been interested in? Are they definitely accessible to a guy like you? I don't mean anything by the "like you". It's just a fact that each of us has a certain range when it comes to partners. What kind of guys do they generally end up with? Sorry, I don't know the best/most polite way to word it. You've described yourself as quite a catch, so I'm just wondering about what type of woman you've been pursuing.

And I guess a follow-up question: how many times have you liked and been friends with a woman who chose someone else?
