For a long time, I thought I was unattractive to guys because no guys asked me out or expressed interest in taking me out.

Recently, a girlfriend of mine casually mentioned in conversation that some guys have asked her for my number and a few of her guy friends have wondered if I was single.

Some guy acquaintances I know have flirted with me. However I am not being asked out despite my constant effort to be feminine, approachable, open, pleasant, clean, have my own life etc.

Are my expectations unrealistic, guys no longer approach the person of interest but instead approach their friends to do the work for them?

Not sure what to expect out of the modern dating scene anymore...
