Maybe I just haven't learned the proper bluster when talking to investors... I really believe my idea is awesome, that I and my co-founders have solid skills, and that our startup will succeed with or without investors (but will succeed faster with funding). I feel anything else is BS that investors especially will see through, or am I missing something?

Alas, I am in the Triangle area of NC, but I'd be happy to chat via skype!

Investors need to hear the BS. You should be pitching a billion-dollar idea, even if that's phase 3 of your plan.

Also, NC is sadly outside the seed stage bubble. If you have traction, you may get a meeting, but then you won't need it.
