I just thought of something Ironic.

Here I am divorced after 13 years of a bad marriage. I am single because I can't find a woman to even date.
But when I was married I found 2 women that would have dated me in spite of my being married.
Ironic.

I'm still single because I haven't met the right person. It's better to stay single than be in a miserable relationship. Nobody really understands you more then you do yourself anyway.
Don't settle for less than you deserve.

Because I only just discovered what it really means to be single. I've changed my perspective and know more about myself and what I want. Right now, I'm just satisfying my needs without commitment. There's so much pressure to meet someone and become their SO that it isn't even fun anymore. So, if I meet someone while I'm out having fun and making friends, so be it. I'm happier because of it. Besides, people are more attractive when they're satisfied within themselves. I'm just keeping my options open.

No I get that too but if guys would stop and think that maybe, as you say, that a relationship is NOT the most important thing or maybe that the guys we meet arent worth keeping due to lack of integrity and honesty....Who knows one day we may meet that one and we can then laugh or pitty those that are still single male and female..LOL

^^^^Rock on!

From what I've heard, it's when you're not looking that the "right" guy finds you anyway...so I'm just going to have my fun for now.

Someone asked me this the other day. Someone who told me they were in a bad relationship with someone who seemed to want to make them miserable...

I said that I hadn't found anything I liked better and that I would rather be single than in a bad relationship as they described. They couldn't understand that. Seems they prefer misery to alone...I don't get it at all!

So yes some people ask me that (my family and friends do not) and I tell the truth...I would rather be alone and happy than to be in a relationship just to be in one. Besides singletons can have tons of fun. If single means alone and lonely then yes, that's no fun. But you can be single and not lonely, and that is lots of fun!

I'm still single because as I get older I find myself less tolerant of the games people seem to want to play.

I guess I'm just an example of apathy running amok in the dating world

I am still single because I choose to be. Much like alot of people on here, I havent found that special someone who is right for me. Life, work and activities keep me fairly busy, which can also make it hard to truly get to know someone. Rather than end up in the wrong relationship, it's better to take your time.

Single by choice. I just am not ready to just settle. If and when i get into a relationship again it will be for the right reasons. Happiness to me comes from within.

I'm single by choice. I'd rather be alone than with the wrong person and the right person doesn't just come along every day. Enough said!

I get the same thing all the time...I think that those that ask that silly question we should just answer it like this...."Well I am still 35 and Single because I still live at home...I still have zits all over my face...I Do Own the entire Hardy Boys collection and read them Religiously and my last girlfriend left me because she didn't want to sleep with me and my sister at the same time..." That should get them thinking !!! LOL

I don't understand the 'still' part of the question. Or is this just addressed to the minority who have never had a relationship?

QUESTION? ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR LIFE TO THIS POINT?? IF YOU ARE THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS! I HAVE LEARNED THAT IF YOU ARE READY THINGS COME TOGETHER AT A TIME AND A PLACE. THE KEY IS WHEN YOU WANT IT AND ARE READY!!

Im still single because I have been there and done that and wont compromise just to stave off the loneliness. I dont have kids and I get the you are still single and NO KIDS. Its like you have a disease and its almost laughable because it shows how ignorant many are. I do not want to be single but I also do not want to loose who I am now. I like me and am willing to wait for what I want and need.:)

I'm single because there isn't a man out there that could handle getting involved in a serious relationship with me.

that's awesome! I'll have to remember that next time one of my family members asks me why I'm single...But, in answer to the OP's question - I haven't found Mr. Right yet. But, I am content with my current situation, until he shows up!!

i sometimes ask myself this question.most people i know ask me that question,if i knew exactly why it is id rectify it.
its a mixture of things meeting people at the wrong time you mite of hit of off with now you didnt then,ie theyd just come out of a relationship.etc.
various things crop up like the person was influenced by her children as what they thought of you,and what they could get away with.
meaning i once had a partner who had no control over them,i calmed down the situation regarding the kids and one resented it,the other liked me being around when push came to shove the partner took the kids side understandably, and therefore was left on her own anyway.and i daresay the paetterns occured since.
your alone for reasons you can help and those you cant.

this was mentioned to me before or at least implied. i am still single or not in a committed relationship because have not found a gal who would work well with me in a committed partnership. am definitely open to it and welcome it.
but the scary part for me being in mid 30's is that i enjoy being single or unattached in a relationship so much that if unable to find a suitable gal am willing to be single and consider having kids out of wedloc rather than marrying someone i thought would make a poor partner for me and ruin a chance at being happy. am actually happy single. so you can say i don't need someone to make me happy if that is possible. rather someone who i can work well with and is interested in being in the relationship
