Within the comforts of my own home, I'm learning that more and more people are jaded or reserved. I looked up both words, Jaded & Reserved.
People set and preach leave the past in the past, but how many are leaving the past in the past while they expect something BAD to happen, which would be reason to be Jaded or reserved.
With reading so many forum threads, it makes me GLAD actually I'm single and live alone.
Why is a movie such a bad first date idea, when you can learn quite a bit about someone while watching a movie. If it's one that BOTH of us want to see, with hearing her laugh at different parts, I learn what will make her laugh and happy.
Not to mention AFTER the movie, we can give our Siskel & Ebert views of the movie. The stuff we liked and didn't like.
So many people out there today that are jaded & reserved, it reminds me of the one episode of CSI last night.
Grissam told of a group that watched a clip of a basketball game and were asked to count the number of times the ball was passed back and forth. Halfway through, a man in a gorilla costume runs across the court. At the end they were asked how many saw the gorilla cross the courtt? Many asked What Gorilla?
Just like dating, so many ar focused on counting the number of passes being made, they miss the gorilla crossing the court. They're basing their focus on things that have happened in the past. They aren't seeing that not ALL men or women are that way!
2 of my last 3 (what I thought they were going to be) serious relationships, SHE cheated and was out playing the field. The next person I date might cheat, they might not. I'm not going to worry about that UNTIL it happens, THEN it will be taken care of. I'm not going to be Jaded or reserved and wonder why ALL women have to cheat!
That would be why I'm still single! | |

Posted: 1/25/2007 5:19:45 AM | Because I have found it is not as bad as I thought it would be. After a 20 year relationship it took awhile to get used to the single life / freedom... but now I kind of like it.
Not saying I wouldn't like to find someone. Just haven't found anyone interesting enough to give up the new found freedom! | |

Posted: 1/25/2007 9:58:49 AM | | The reason most of us are 'still' single is multi-fold. We have jobs, which limits our social reach. A lot of us have kids, which limits even more, lol!!! We are a bit more experienced, which makes us more selective. And we are ( a lot of us ) getting or have gotten out of a long-term relationship, which puts another relationship a lot lower on the list of priorities!!!!! Lastly, a good number of us are really enjoying our new-found freedom!!! Those who question our singlehood are used to our being with a significant other, so it seems out of the ordinary to them. Later!!!! | |

Posted: 1/25/2007 5:22:20 PM | | I am still single because I am introverted and because I am disagreeable to most people. I don't go out, am very uncomfortable in unfamiliar social situations(so I avoid them every chance I get) and not talking very much helps as well. These are (in my opinion), the perfect ingredients to living a life of solitary confinement.... which I am prepared for. | |

Posted: 1/25/2007 7:56:48 PM | I'd get myself shot if I was a POW. Not as an example, but for pi$$ing off my captors when they pull me out of a week of solitary confinement, and I am smiling and laughing.  | |

Posted: 1/27/2007 6:17:41 AM | I`m still single because 99% of women are nuts! That leaves 1%....then `you`have got to try and find the type that attracts you out of the 1%. Which is impossible....and also I`d rather fiddle with my hoodride bug than argue with some girl over something totally stupid...like `yes, ya bum does look big in that`. (WHICH IS A COMPLIMENT!) | |

Posted: 1/27/2007 8:49:38 AM | | "Why are you still single?" along with "Isn't being single depressing?" and "I guess I'm never going to have grandchildren" are the worst questions!!! LOL! Have been single for over 4 years (by choice) and have only recently started "dating". Dating seemed easier back in university... So, why am I still single? 'Cause the guys I am attracted to are not attracted to me and vice versa... | |

Good grief that's hilarious.

I'm still single because I'm just indecisive  | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 8:31:05 AM | I am still single because I have yet to meet a woman who can capture my heart. Someone who can send shivers down my spine when we look at each other...and someone who you think of before bed and after waking up.. I have loved before and it was the most wonderful experience... Now that I know what it feels like, I am not going to settle...
In the meantime, I live my life to the max... I work a lot but hey, I also go away a lot too. It's nice to just get in the car and go away for the weekend, or go for a hike etc... there are so much to do in life if you really want to live it up... | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 10:58:30 AM | | I keep watching this thread and thinking of new reasons why I am single. The latest reason that came into my head is my location in the middle of the bible belt. A large number of people are very much into their religion where I am not religious and have no plans to follow any religion either. That eliminates about 70% of my dating pool..... | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 11:15:13 AM | | Some people just like to wait for the right one, and just make sure they know who they are getting themselves involved with. Others wait for someone of their own faith to come which is understandable too. Others just can't help it because for whatever reason they are havingv trouble finding someone. There are others who will not date someone because they will "only" want to be with someone who they find really good looking and they "won't settle for anything less" and it's this last one that is just wrong. For someone to hold out on LOVE, just because they don't find someone has "got it" in the looks department. That is just immature and not smart at all, ot to mention greedy and selfish. | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 2:26:25 PM | Obvious answer is that people are single because they haven't met that special person they click with and want to spend a lot of time together. I respect people much more when they do not go from one relationship to another and fall in 'love' constantly. That isn't real love! When I meet that person I will happily give up singledom for that special person.  | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 3:40:13 PM | Some quick answers to this question off the top of my head:
1) I'm a sleepwalking cannibal and ate my bf/gf
2) Roofies wear off in 8 hours
3) Why are you still married?
4) She installed window shutters, then it was over
5) Don't worry, I prepay my alimony
6) So I can sleep with youir wife/husband and not feel guilty that I'm cheating
7) I'm relying on human cloning and am in the process of drafting the perfect mate
and for the ever popular "so I'm never gonna have grandchildren" quip, just tell them "well, biologically you do, but that was a long time ago..." and just stare off wistfully into space.. | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 5:31:33 PM | | Nope I'm still single. I think we are more ready for a real relationship because we done it all. We have grew into ourselves through experiences. How many marriages people say "oh we grew apart" when your older you know more of who you are and I believe have a lot more to give to an relationship. Plus we dated a lot and know what sorta man I want. | |

Posted: 1/31/2007 8:37:07 PM | | Why am I still single, I choose to be right now. So far I haven't met anyone who can understand my job or what I do. If I met the right man, I'd love to settle down and build a life. | |

Posted: 2/1/2007 6:01:47 AM | Good question. Maybe I can chalk it up to meeting great people who end up not wanting to rush into relationships. Or maybe it's that I'm scared of getting burned again. Or maybe it's just being too damn laid back, and not taking enough initiative. Bah. I need more coffee....  | |
