This confuses me

Over the years I have had some male friends/admirers who are interested in me romantically but are introverts. I am an introvert too but I am confident. We will get on well and flirt but something holds them back from taking it further. It frustrates me as I know some of these guys use dating sites so they will interact with me in person but are back on the dating sites a few days later. I just find it offensive as though I am second best if they are looking elsewhere but not good enough to take things further with. I know they are interested as sometimes their friends will go behind their back and tell me. Most men always tell me how great I am and don't understand why I am single. I am quite pretty which I know can intimidate some of them as they cannot look me in the eye. What is the solution to all of this?

Hmm

The solution? Well you can't force them to date you and whilst you are no doubt both pretty and great, these men have decided not to pursue a relationship with you. So perhaps you could try dating sites yourself or keep on trucking until you meet someone and there is a mutual spark?

Aren't you all old enough to be past the stage of friends telling you "he fancies you! tee hee"? (It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now).

Have you tried, just to pull a single possible solution from the air, asking them out?

You know they're interested. You know they're introverted. You don't need to wait for any man to instigate a relationship, get on with it!
