| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 11/4/2006 12:35:06 AM | I am still single because I don't get out much. I don't party, hang out in bars. I get up in the morning, drive my daughter to school, write softeware, pick up daughter from school and drive home, write software, go home, work on side projects (software), write music, eat, go to sleep. rinse and repeat.
On weekends I take my kid out for lunch, wash my car, go shopping, write software, write music, watch movies, play with my cat, get drunk, hang out in places like this. | |

Posted: 11/4/2006 11:14:01 PM | Hey I know where u r coming from I am the proud father of three, yet I can not believe what my ex has put me through and I am tired of the bar scene. Iam a 29 year old sales man that lives 500 km from his kids.
Serious relationships take time and great attention, but I never thought that I would take these on-line dating sights serious but I am taking it slow and enjoying what I see. I am enjoying belleville but I find that it is earier meeting people like this.
I look for honesty and integritity in a woman. After losing a two year marriage to another, I have become very selective as well, but I feel that there is still alot of great woman in this city.
I sincerely beleive that the art of being a gentleman is not lost. Only sleeping while the stresses of the nine to five world brings relationships crashing to the ground.
So I am here at 2:13, seeing whos out there but taking it slow.

I hear you but I look at it this way for myself :
1. Sorta by choice - I've coulda been in a relationship right now, but I didnt feel right with this person. And I'm not the sort of person who takes commitments lightly so I wont enter a relationship just for comfort or a need of having someone there.
2. Location - where I'm from its very small place with very much inbreeding (if you know what I mean) so most of the time its been meeting the same similar type of ppl who don't either interest me or I'm very weary of.. And to meet other ppl from different places is not that easily a task. (Live on a island miles from places and to travel from here is expensive).
3. My own personal attractions - This is the hardest pill to swallow. I made have been actually allowing myself over the years to have a relationship with people I know I shouldn't not even looked at for various reasons. Maybe my natural attraction is to people I shouldnt be with instead of those I should, hows that for a WTF  lol
But like others who I think are complete A-holes, if they can find someone then I should too.  | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 11:51:05 AM | When I got divorced I got custody of my daughter. (at that time she was 5).
A few of the reasons I can think of for still being single are:
1.) I was somewhat overloaded with responsibilty. (which was fine with me)
2.) I didn't think it was right to go out, meet someone and possibly starting a relationship with them and risk the chance of the relationship going south and taking a toll on my daughter.
3.)Might have been little different if I had a boy instead of a girl.
4.) and to be honest I had been married for 7 years and times had changed from when I used to go out before I got married and had my daughter, I didn't have a CLUE on what to do or how to act anymore. (did that make sense?)
Now here it is almost 6 years years later and Yes I am starting to go out a little. but...OMG! times have really changed since before I got married and had my daughter, I definetly don't have a clue....
Possibly I need a little HELP to get me up to date? into fashion? and to relearn how to actually talk to opposite sex other than business related? ((the 80's early 90's were hell of alot different than now at least to me)). | |

Posted: 11/5/2006 5:34:54 PM | | I've never been asked this question, that I can remember.... Does that mean it's painfully obvious? I wasn't worried about it until now. Great, a new neurosis. Is that a word? What does this all mean? What's the point? Where am I going. What's this bump on my head? Did you hear that? So many questions, so little information. | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 9:57:48 AM | I was married. I think many are not married for one good reason.
When you say Yes at the alter, It's like putting a gun to your hed and pulling the trigger,hoping it won't go off!! | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 10:19:57 AM | | I can say this much: Even though I am 30, I look more like I'm in the early 20's agewise, and I've always prefered ladies a bit older than me, so that's done a stranglehold on ladies that I would like to meet since they all think I look like I could be misrepresenting my age. | |

Posted: 1/7/2007 2:03:32 AM | | My favorite question...translation..So you are still single, what's wrong with you? My favorite response is because I like variety..ha..teasing..but does appear difficult for most people to grasp the concept that I am single because I have not found "the one" and refuse to settle for anything less..doesn't mean you can't enjoy life until you do.. | |

Posted: 1/7/2007 10:11:15 AM | | I get that a lot from friends and family. And I tell them this, you hook me up with the woman who I can get along with and who can get along with me and that will take care of that. | |

Posted: 1/8/2007 10:46:53 AM | The question, "why are you still single?" implies that adults should not be single, that people ought have a permanent partner.
Some of us, perhaps, understand that we are not the marrying kind.
If a single person does not feel powerful desire to be in a marriage or serious long term relationship, then why should they do so? There are alternative modes of life.
Looking beyond the heady rush of sexual attraction, selecting a partner is more about the simple ability of two people to get along well together.
The transition out of singlehood, I think, depends on two primary requirements being met at the same time. One is being ready to end singledom, and the other is finding a partner who you do not want to be without. | |

Posted: 1/8/2007 11:18:57 AM | | Location, I won't settle, and I am somewhat of an oddity in small town America. I play sports, listen to music and watch movies most people around here have never even heard of, and [Laughs] I know what arugula is. Thus the online search begins... | |

Posted: 1/8/2007 12:33:31 PM | ... I hear it all the time.
I'm still single because I just can't seem to find the best guy out there for me.
And for some odd reason I have this uncanny ability to keep finding the wrong ones.
I need a class or something.... ha ha ha ha | |

Posted: 1/8/2007 4:56:12 PM | | I get asked that on a daily basis.......I'm really not sure why, just happens that way..lol | |
|
| good question
Posted: 1/8/2007 5:51:59 PM | I guess people make choices in life and travel one path over another. For me, i could be married five times over if I'd have choosen those paths.
I see many of my friends that are in unhappy marriages and "settling" for the reason just to be married is not for me.
I'm looking for the real thing, and if it doesn't come along it, so be it, lol. | |
