What is wrong with me?

I am an Asian American male currently in college. I would consider myself rather attractive—definitely above average compared to other Asian males—and considerably outgoing and talkative. I have never had any trouble attracting women, having conversations with women, and many of these meetings turn into friendships. I have, however, difficulty finding a woman who is noticeably interested in having a real relationship.

Most of the females I know and have asked what they think about me say something along the lines of me being a very nice, friendly, and comical, but very confident, cocky and someone you could be good friends with but not dateable.

I don't think that I am cocky, in fact I am very modest in my every day conduct. I admit that I am career-driven, dress in a very fine, preppy manner, but I also love to cook and travel, I am active in humanitarian services and volunteering, and besides that I am very optimistic and fun. I am always down for a party on the weekends, going out to the bars, and most people think I'm a funny, agreeable guy.

I don't see where the problem is. Why am I good friend material, but not so good for dating?

Update:

I am picky when it comes to females, but just to the extent that they fit with me in characteristics, not to the point where I'm aiming too high.

I am a 2nd year college student, so most of the people are trying to have fun as opposed to having anything serious.

    Hi Lemonade is Good

    Ah this a tricky one. You sound like such a nice guy and that could be your problem. What is it they say angels love bad men or have I been listening to too much country music?

    What I think is that maybe you are too available. You know your a great friend, always there for them, her whatever. I'm going to give away some secrets here so I had better be flaming careful in case all my girlfriends call me a traitor to my gender.

    Sort out which girls you want as friends and be their friend. Next time you meet someone you want to have a relationship with Play it cool. This is a fine line to tread, you might have to try it a few times until you get the hang of it. So say you meet someone in a bar, library, coffee shop or where ever. You or she starts up a conversation. Now the trick is to have something very important to do. So you have a conversation for a few minutes and then you say something like "Look I'm very sorry but I have to rush off" then you get up and leave and as you are leaving you say "perhaps I'll see you again sometime" (make sure you look her in the eye and hold the gaze, not too long you don't want to be creepy!) Now if you are sure she will be going back to the same place, then leave it at that. You could give her your phone number, but I wouldn't at this point in time. Better to leave it to chance, much more exciting. You can always give chance a hand by going back to the bar, library.

    Not too soon though, wait at least three days.

    Don't disclose too much information about yourself in the first few conversations, without being evasive. We are trying to cultivate a bit of mystery here. Whatever you do don't offer to fix her taps, mend her fence or anything similar. remember you don't want to be just her Friend, time for that later. As I said its a fine line, but worth it in the long run. See the blog for more.

    you sound cocky not in a rude way "I would consider myself rather attractive"

    its fine to think that infact its good :) but just dont say it to your girlfriends all the time.

    You seem like a fun person which is good, maybe you put your career before others,

    I dont know I cant really judge you cause im don't know you but i'm just seeing what tehy may not like. Depending on how old you are maybe these girls are looking for something serious settling down maybe, and you just seem to want to have fun (I think its a good thing) but maybe they don't

    hope I have helped :D

    You probably don't flirt or drop any hints that you like a girl.

    To me, you sound like a lot of my male friends - to me, they're like brothers. They're just nice guys, good to have around and hang with but it's always platonic.

    Don't worry, you'll find someone one day and it will click.
