so, why are you still single?
Posted: 4/22/2007 5:04:04 AM
A good question. Could be by accident, by design by good luck or bad!

Could be that I haven’t crossed paths with the right person or that I have and we missed each other!

I wouldn’t say I choose to be single but it has it’s benefits, I guess life’s about choices and if you don’t like being single then you can chose to do something about it (not always easy I know) or not.

Most people around me have now stopped asking that question (except those well-intentioned people that don't know me, but think they know what's best for me!). I think when we are younger we are able to accept most people for who and what they are and are willing to compromise much more. As you get older, one isn't willing to compromise so much anymore and one is more set in their own way of doing things. Not that I'm saying I am unwilling to compromise, but I am not going to change who I am or what I believe in just to be with someone. I'm also not going to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone. I would rather be happy and single than married and lonely and miserable. It's ok to have higher standards. Why should we settle for less then what would make us happy. For women, being strong and independant scares a lot of guys off. What do you think?

NO NYC!
Whether the implication is something must be wrong with u... don't buy it.... there is nothing wrong with being independent self assured and alone because it is better than being attached or married and miserable~

I hear it constantly.... and honestly the proof is in the pudding .... once a workable relation appears and the right individual then the questions fade to black.

Still single because I can't find a man

At least not one I like.

My dating scenarios:

1. They like me but too much too fast without getting to know me. It doesn't feel sincere and they smother me to the point I just let them go.

2. I do like them, think there awesome and can so picture a future there. Alas, the reason they took the time to get to know me is because they are actually emotionally unavailable and undateable.

3. I like them, they like me, we seem on the same page and like we both know what we want only to have them do a 180 out of the blue. This seems to happen mostly with guys who have a lot of baggage.

I have no clue. My male friends say I'm a catch but hey, when it happens, it happens. Right?

Im single because i prefer to be. I love the chase and the attention of all the men. I Love being sinlge and independent taking care of myself no one to anwser to. Im not single at the mens choice if it were up to several of them i would be taken bound. I love enjoying the single life. No one can compare to my deceased husband the way he treated and loved me.

Why do I THINK I'm single or the truth? I'm extremely self-critical so the truth is likely kinder but I'm not sure what it is in this case. So, my version...I'm not very attractive, I assume people see me as ugly, I've got acne, I try too hard (someone told me that one), I'm too intense, I'm insane...I don't know, guys just don't like me in that way and it makes me cry. I'm 30 and have never had a boyfriend or loved anyone. I think I figured out how but have no one to practice on.

I hear the why are you still single all the time. I wish people would stop saying that phrase and use something different.

I'm still single, cause I am a slippery old trout , and it will take a top female angler to land me!! lol

Truth is, I dont really go out socialising that much, which is kinda difficult if your mates are coupled up, and to be honest, I prefer to go and have a good night out, than to be on the pull.

I am single because I am considered a great "catch" but a) I do not wish to get "caught" b) I am not really a fish

Nah, on the contrary. Think again.

So, you are single cause you dont want a partner? which would seem strange as you are on a dating site?

The recent conversations with the person on here (no names mentioned) got dropped like a bad habit. Back to the drawing board (once again).

I hate when that happens. It's happened to me a few times on this site. So, I no longer rely on this site to actually find people to date. I haven't met anyone yet. It kind of sucks, but oh well.

I was married once, although technically divorced I still consider myself single.

I'm still single because I live an idyllic, sweet, mostly autocratic (save for noble obligations) life right now. Can't imagine why I would want to jeopardize it.

i work in customer support for a company that runs 24/7, and that schedule tends to clash with people on a more sane monday to friday 9-5 shift.

i also admit that after 34 years without marriage/divorce/kids i see no point in settling with "mr. you'll do" out of some irrational fear of being alone. i guess i'm picky. but it's not about looks or anything shallow like that (i'm certainly not perfect by any stretch)...but if i'm going to spend time evolving something deeper with someone, there's got to be some fire and a common outlook on life to use as a foundation for building more. i'm a kinda non-vanilla, non-traditional type...so sometimes finding that match is a bit challenging.
