While I surely don't have as much experience as other posters, this does sound like a symptom of "Nice Guy" syndrome, which I'm quite familiar with myself, in that you might put women "on a pedestal". Though in this case it might be that your values clash with theirs, which isn't unusual. Perhaps you are looking in the wrong places because while there is a girl out there that would respond well to that, they might not be in the place you're looking.
And hey, at least you have the courage to initiate conversation and act upon your words. I might be able to keep a convo going for a start, but I've never approached anyone in a conventional manner. I'm an extremely good listener, but an extremely bad conversationalist with people I've just met due to shyness and hefted tongue.
