If you're a man: she thinks you're too good to be true and probably a pickup artist. If you're a woman: too complicated, and they're not in the market for anything but a hole.

either way, the behavior of complaining that you can't get a second date is suspect, especially when it's prefaced by how awesome you are (though I'm sure you are!). that sort of thing implies a very specific personality flaw and, while everyone has personality flaws, there's a certain type that's particularly damning on a first date.

Seems to me that OP's self-assessment is off or too generous.

"too" and "mty" are probably on target. Charming and hot and funny, ... all subjective. If those are all true, perhaps you left a couple things off the list, like, hideous laugh, bad teeth, slight drool, ..

Probably because you just don't "click" with them. I'd advise hanging out with different types of people. Or people in different walks of life. As an example, I realised when internet dating that the people are just kind of out to fall in love, but they're too comfortable and settled and cocooned (almost zombie like) in their life, so they'd settle for someone cool to take them places and do things they're afraid to do. They were kind of losers. So although they were different (one was not bright, a high school graduate, another had attended exclusive schools and jobs), they were in the same psychological space. This could be the case with you ? Good luck. RAX may be right, or may be wrong. I'd say wrong. Unless there's something you're not hiding. I'd say it's usually what I wrote.
