Are you Maria "green eyes" Sharapova?!!! Well, it could be that you're not selective enough when choosing matches.
I asked a mathematician friend how many people do I have to meet to find my soul-mate? After scribbling down some complicated equations he came up with: "23"... That's quite a small number! "Well, 23 will give you a good chance but you have to choose carefully."
That's why the "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" of reality TV always start off with 25 people to pick from (they rounded 23 to 25).
Why 23? It's based on an old mathematics puzzle called "The Birthday Paradox” which asks, "How many people do you have to put in a room before you have a 50/50 chance that two of them will have the same birthday?” The answer is 23.
Go ask any married couple how many people they had to date before they found their true love. Go ahead, ask anybody. I guarantee that nobody will give you an answer larger than 365. See the correlation? 365 days in the year, 365 dates, maximum, to find true love. Using the Birthday Paradox, we can turn the very complicated question of love and soul-mates into a numbers game. Go out with 23 people; pick them carefully. At the end of the process, one half of you will be married. Don't believe me? Go see.

You are probably not focusing on areas of common interest in your search.Try not to set the standard too high,that could complicate thins for you and the prospective love partner.Whenever you set a rule/standard,always ask yourself if they would be acceptable to you if you were the guy.I am having the same concerns too,but i believe the situation is improving now.Most importantly you need to be positive about life.Cheers.
