True story:
I once knew a guy who might have been described as a geek (and no, I'm not talking about myself). He was quite smart and a political science major, as well. A very sharp, very opinionated guy. Not only that, he was also quite handsome (at least as far as I can judge, looking at another guy). He wasn't overly shy or socially inept; he had a great sense of humor. And no, he wasn't a homosexual. Yet somehow, he couldn't get a girlfriend to save his life. Why is that? Why did someone who was in every way a perfect 'candidate' for a relationship always end up alone?

If you ask me, a significant part of 'finding someone' is pure luck and some people just don't have it.
Was he actually looking? Kind of hard to have a girlfriend if you aren't interested in the first place.
