The two main reasons why most members don't host are these:
1) they don't trust you
2) they don't trust themselves
You have to address these issues if you want to find a host:
1) To earn their trust, just be honest, even if it makes you feel a little awkward, because even awkwardness is disarming: it proves that you're a good person who considers others' feelings, not a sociopath, and that's all they want to make sure of.
2) Say you're satisfied with very little and you just want a place to sleep, even if that's all you're given: tell them they can pretend you're not there if they want to. It'll make them more spontaneous in talking to you.
If they still don't want to host you despite being available, ask them to consider changing their availability status, so that other hosts have a chance.
