I'm single because I read way to many trashy romance novels when I was younger, and no man is ever going to be able to sweep me off my feet after those.

Oh, but please keep trying

Still single cause most of them drink, after "honeymoon" period is over, they gripe about my sons being around, and the younger one found out one was a pedophile back in 1984.

I am single because I was a late bloomer. I didn't really start dating seriously until my mid 20's. I was just not that interested in girls when I was younger.. I was more focused on my career.

Really though.. people who say they are looking for a 'long term relationship' need to try casual dating first. I think that's something you should grow into and play it day by day until you both decide "yes, this is working, you rock, lets me bf/gf!".. etc..

I date a fair amount and I suspect, at some point, I'll settle down into an LTR.. but not unless she meets my standards. I seem to do OK with getting date, so I will keep dating until I find that woman who impresses the hell out of me.. my feelings and standards might change with age, sure.. but that's how I feel at this moment in time.

Aww, thanks! Strangely, though, if the vote-breakdown thing is any indication, with a few exceptions, most people seem to think it sucks! Go figure...

is how you spell it


Honestly, if you' re going to criticize someone's spelling, at least be sure you r spelling and/or grammar passes muster..

OT: I am no longer single, but was for over 2 years. By choice. My last relationship ended badly, and I chose to take the time to reflect and perhaps learn from my mistakes in an effort to not repeat them. Did it work? I think so..I am now involved with a man who is the complete opposite of every guy I've ever dated, and I have changed and grown in many positive ways. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot.


You're young Opie, and have many years of failed relationships ahead of you. Sorry if I sound pessimistic, but I am a realist. You are also a parent already, and many guys your age just don't want that kind of responsibility. Hell, they don't want it at my age. I wish you luck darlin', and my advice to you is to stop worrying about finding Mr. Right (he doesn't exist) and just have some fun. Life is far too short not to.

I am single because I am free to feel emotion. I am single because I don't have to ask permission. I am single because I can be a little goofy and don't have to worry about embarrasing my mate. I am single because I can walk the path less chosen. I am single because I don't want to hurt people. I am single because I don't want to be hurt. I am single because I have a hard time with trust. I am single because I may be too picky. I am single because I like myself.

I am having a really fun time dating and finding out what I want (and don't want) in a partner. The more you try to find a relationship, the more it wont work out. Just have a good time, it will happen!

Jessica (OP),

Well did u read my profile or did u just read that i wanted just friends??

I read your profile -- I never even said you were looking for JUST friends (platonic)...

... but it's contradictory to put "Friends" as what you're looking for, and claim to be looking for someone to jump into dating with, or that guys "play games". When you look for people on the "friends" (no dating; no commitment; no romantic emotion), you can't call someone else 'playing games', because there's no guy/girl games to play! "Friends" means, (a) Platonic; just friends, or (b) I am not looking to date you after we first hang out; no strings, no expectations, no romance, no obliged availability.

I'm single because I'm not going to "settle" for something less than what I deserve. I definitely do not want a fairy-tale, but I know a boy from a man; or a good man from a bad man. I want a good man.

That, and I had a LTR end in March.

Because I have not found that person that I am compatible with and I refuse to settle. Ever. I would rather be alone, and have been! No rush either, if "he" comes along, great. If not, I also am honestly just fine. Being alone is not the worst thing in the world. Really!!!

I'm single because the guys I'm usually interested in, are not interested in me, or the ones who are interested in me, I'm not interested in. *sigh* It's a neverending merry-go-round of frustration.

Still single because after enough years in a vapid marriage, I'm not the slightest bit interested in doing that again. Half a lifetime ago, there'd have been more room to compromise on incompatibilities, but nearing the 1/2-century mark, there's a greater fulfillment to be had through compatibility.

the last 2 exes were completely wrong for me... it made me realize i was totally incompatible with them. urghh. the more i spent time 'looking' for a relationship in the past, the people who i attracted were completey wrong for me. this time, i'm not searching or seeking it, i will enjoy my life to the fullest and be the person I can be for the next person. hope, faith and love! :)

Ditto! You said it right!

I'm single becaue I'm married to the army. All the time I try to put into reltionships is ****ed up by either the field, other taining or deployments. I've pretty much just been held to a series of short term relationships. some have been with incredible women, some not so incredible. either way it's the path I've chosen, and I hate to say it but I love it.

why am I single? I choose to be. I have been there and dont that. It isnt all wine and roses. More like beer and thorns. I have tried, over and over again, turned my self inside out, or, refused to change myself, most people are always looking for something better. Or they are looking for a reason, any reason, to rationalize lying or cheating. I guess my "give a damn" is busted. Wow, I think that is it.

I thought at first this was going to be an easy post but I had to actually think about it.

I am single because...................
1 I wear my heart on my sleeve
2 I am reserved
3I refuse to play games
4 I in the past have chosen the wrong men to be intimate with
