| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 1/8/2007 8:19:40 PM | I'm guessing I'm still single because I travel out of my area frequently for adventures. I meet great people, but they too are from far, far away.  | |

Maybe the better word is "Caucasian guy". Us Asians guys get harrassed like that from Asian women, Asian Men (mostly people straight from Asia) and especially our Moms! | |

Unfortunately, I don't have a great answer.
If anyone finds the answer please share. | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 8:30:53 AM | I am single cause the ones that want to get to know me--I have nothing in common with & the ones that I would like to get to know----run away or scared to get into a relationship or haven't finished tasting all the different kinds of candy yet 
So for now have decided the next person that wants to get to know me will have to find me as I have given up on lookin' for them----I am very comfy with my life right now & yes would be nice to share it with someone--but--"in the meantime" just enjoy each day as it comes & one day when its meant to happen it will  | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 12:32:37 PM | I guess the other is How are you still single. Which is a double edged sword for it implies you shouldn't be but once again reminds us that we are!
The reality is and a persnal manta I've adopted is " I would rather be alone by myself than lonely with someone else!"
I figure I'm 39 and havn't found the "ONE" and am okay with that and seeing I'm okay with that I'll be dammed if I settle now! | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 7:59:19 PM | | I have people ask me why I am still single. Truth is, I never really was "looking" to seriously. I was dating someone for 4 years...well, that has now ended and I am looking again. I don't want to look to seriously, because I will never find true love (Murphy's Law...LOL) | |

Posted: 1/9/2007 8:19:47 PM | Had my head so deep in my career,...
Now it might be too late. Not productive to dwell
on roads not taken. My best answer has been,
"How about those _________?!" or  | |

Posted: 1/12/2007 4:52:00 PM | No one really asked me that question until I started teaching at a private school for Chinese students. A number of the female students would ask me that(I was teaching university preparation, and most of the students were 20 year olds).
When I actually travelled to China women would always ask about my "family" (ie. wife and kids) and were surprised that I was not married. I think some of them thought I was gay.
But to cut to the chase, I've engaged in a number of adventures over the last several years and only now am I settling down into a good, well-paying career.
If that had happened virtually any time in the last 15 years, I'd probably be married by now because the money issue played a large role in the breakdown of various long-term relationships I had been in. | |

Posted: 1/16/2007 8:10:51 PM | I think I'm single for 2 reasons.
First- I live in the Bible belt and I'm not religious which automatically eliminates at least 60% of all available women.
Secondly- I want as close to an equal as I can find. Which means intellectually, financially and physically. Not an easy task in a state that ranks near the top in Obesity, poverty and stupidity. | |

Posted: 1/16/2007 9:30:47 PM | Family members and male friends...You have not arranged a marriage for me. To my female friends...because you have not asked me out.
Female strangers, are you going to hook me up with your hot mom? | |

Well, that pretty much leaves me speechless, I don't think I could have said it any better.
Oh, and possibly my ZERO (0) tolerance attitude toward lying, playing, manipulative infidels.
God Bless

Posted: 1/17/2007 7:01:03 PM | Hey, I get asked the "so, why you still single" question a lot. A LOT. It's like maybe I have some green scales I can't see or something....
I simply smile, think about it, and reply - haven't found the true mant to make an honest woman outta me yet...
Best simple theory out there I have come up with...after all, we are all beautiful creatures, just takes the right kinda man to snag us up. And if he doesn't come around quick enough, so be it. In my world, I'll wait another day, another year, another 10 years if I have to...cause I know whether 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 or 60 - it will happen. Just takes more time for some people - and I'm some people in that category.
Just a theory but it works.....ha ha ha ha | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 12:20:35 PM | | I know exactly why I am still single, I have not met the right woman at the right time yet. I have only been single for 2 years and thats after a 11/12 year relationship. I would be over joyed to be in the right relationship now, but I am happy with my life the way it is and being single is just different than what I was used to. | |

Posted: 1/19/2007 3:13:29 PM | Why I am single....
Well it's a long story, but after a 10 year relationship that ended up in us going seperate ways I just havnt been ready at all to meet anyone.
Instead I have been working on my career and getting all the small things in order... I have literally NOT been interested in pursuing anyone for about 2 years... except for a few dates lately.
Anyways... now my life is back to where it needs to be and I'm ready to hit the market... ohh right, thats why i'm here

Posted: 1/19/2007 11:24:05 PM | | lol, I hate that question.. like you need to defend yourself or like you actually need an explanation. I just say that 'I spent time getting to know myself.. and since then I realized that I am happy enough not to compromise in a man.' | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 4:50:50 AM | I hate the question too. People immediately jump to the conclusion there is something wrong with you when in truth, I'm far more stable because I took the time to be single, get to know myself, and not let men be a priority in my life they had always been.
Because I have this sense of independence and freedom being single, it really doesn't seem that bad like everyone makes it out to be. I can afford to be very choosy now because I'm ok with being single.
Eventually I'll meet someone and there will be that spark but I'm really not actively looking. I figure it will happen when it happens. | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 2:06:06 PM | I want to revise my reason for being single.
It's because I live in the proverbial Bible Belt................. Yes, pun is intended!
Nothing wrong with the bible but I'm not religious and it's damn hard to find women that aren't either. That automatically excludes about 60-70% of women.
With only 30% to choose from I then have the exact same issues with finding a mate that every other man has. | |

Posted: 1/20/2007 3:13:39 PM | | I'm still single, and have been for over a year, simply because I haven't met the right person yet - not that I'm actually looking - more hoping to be found for now! | |
