Men not chatting you up says nothing about your personality. If they don't talk to you how do they know what it's like?
Plus, the guy who said that to you was using one of the most common chat up lines right there!
Do you think you maybe you don't recognise it when it happens?

it does not happen.

He was chatting you up but you killed it.

You took him literally. He wasn't asking a serious question. He wasn't unsure about why you were single. He was trying to give you a compliment and tell you he thought you had potential for dating/relationships.

I mean, tbf there aren't many places that men 'chat women up' these days. Unless you're in a
nightclub and they're trying to take you home.

I doubt it's any issue with you. More likely you're just not in a place where its socially acceptable to chat people up very often.

Also I don't agree with the posters saying he was chatting you up. Saying "you're pretty, why are you still single?' isn't a compliment - it's negging.
Designed specifically to get you to think exactly what you have - that there might be something wrong with you.
