Is it normal that i intimidate guys ?

Hi,
So let me start by describing myself. I'm a young lady in my early twenties, the last relationships I had were in my eighties (two of them that were a total disappointment). I get lots of compliments for how nice, smart and wise I'm from my girlfriends as well as my "guy-friends". As for the look I am fine, well not a Top Model but an ordinary girl that might look gorgeous in some occasions and hideous in others (well when I am home by myself :p ). But what I am sure of, is that I've been told many times that I have a charming smile the thing that makes other people smile back to me even in the hardest situations.
The problem now is that I didn't get asked since that old time. I keep remarking guys glancing, some of them start a quick conversation with me or a long one that may seem to end with me getting asked (but they don't). Well some of them are cute and I seem to like but I just can't stand the idea of asking a guy out. I didn't discuss this with one of my friends. But I keep having the same questions every time I see them: Did you get the one yet ? you are a great person and you deserve a great guy ! Are you really single ? All their questions made me just wonder am I intimidating guys ? Do I seem hard to get ?
And now I really want to be in a relationship and I'm afraid of looking clingy, needy,etc. So my question would be can a person like myself (through what I described) be intimidating to guys ?

    Hmm, from what you've said nothing stands out to me as particularly intimidating, but who knows, people can be weird.

    I hear from a lot of people (guys and girls) that I intimidate them or that they were afraid to talk to me at first, however I have a really alternative style (mohawk, piercings, wear a trenchcoat a lot) and people around here apparently find me a bit scary. Little do they know how easy to get along with I am. ;P

      Yeah judging people by how they appear is totally unfair.

    Beautiful girls ARE intimidating. We know you don't bite and such but there might be some big alpha dude not far away ready to punch us.

    it is absolutely a possibility to intimidate a man. Men naturally seek a strong woman who can handle herself, however, we want to be the alpha, provider, your brick wall to stand against. If all you ever show is the "I don't need you" attitude, even if you're not intimidating them you're probably running them off. I'm not saying go all out and show weaknesses blah blah blah. I'm saying , we men KNOW women are equals, so that whole "I am woman, hear me roar" attitude can just be turned down a bit.

    Maybe you are showing them the urge of a long term relationship. Men aren't that afraid of relationships. We just need women to not try to mold us. Maybe you pick the guys that look well but don't fit your description. He sees your dissatisfaction and just doesn't try. Maybe he's just not asking in the same way you envision it. We aren't mind readers, daddy taught you a great way in his time, but you'd be hard pressed to find that exact scenario in this age. Mom probably gave you a list of things to look for that makes you decide whether you continue the conversation or kill it yourself. Not giving that guy who would ask you out, a chance.

    Basically, try to blend superwoman, damsel in distress, sophisticated, freak.

    Are your conversations ALWAYS about what you're looking for or your job, or future plans Nice to establish, but enjoy the moment and just talk about fun stuff. Have you ever went on a great vacation? Where else will you visit? Would you do outside activities. If you can laugh at anything even his push for sex, that most of us do, then you have a chance for a date. We'll want time around you more. Please remember, just because we hint towards sex doesn't make us a pig.I'm the most loyal man I know, but if you're attractive then you'll know from me. not my fault every other guy did so and you're tired of it. Pass me and you missed out, trust me.

    Point: think about what's being said and keep the first conversation light. Let him know through your womanly ways it's ok to ask you out. Stay off your damn phone in public. We think you could be contacting the man everyone can't believe you don't have. Try to NOT be so serious in your first conversation Don't allow him to be either. That's actually a tip I give men.

    You'll be ok it just takes time. PLUS early 20s is a great time to search, but you still have life to live.

    being high is funny and makes you focus on your own thoughts more. Because you weren't used

      to it, you thought of all the bad shit people say about it You focused on those thoughts, you tripped out on those thoughts. I personally don't like smoking it, but the effects of weed, eating or otherwise, won't hurt you in any of that fashion. Smoke is smoke and don't belong in lungs so that burning sensation is your lungs reactions.

    Have fun with the alpha-males.

    Can you give me your number?
    Just kidding, you're probably very very far from my home.

    I think that is normal to intimidate some guys, but it is impossible to intimidate every guy you meet, specially if you are a pleasant person: smiles show confidence and that you are enjoying the talk.

    What's the problem about this? Actually it can help you a lot. Rejection is unlikely, for a cute girl.

    No doubt some guys may be intimidated by you. It's a hard question to answer because I don't know you, but I'm quite sure guys are intimidated by girls they find attractive. If you want a guy, then you may have to ask him out, just know there's a chance of rejection. However, it sounds as if you won't have a problem finding someone.

      Well that's what I thought. But since obviously many of them fear me, I'm having a problem finding someone. Thanks for the answer.
