| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/14/2007 3:50:18 PM | I wonder all the time why I am still single and don't have kids. And I am 29, no one is bugging me about it. I just see everyone around me, getting married and having kids.
Everyone comes to this point, some just fall into it accidentally.
There are probably many factors involved, like you work all the time, trying to snatch da cash real fast, or other factors.
But I am still single, for pretty much that reason. Lately, I am not really looking, thinking it will come that way. A few months down the road, I will most likely be on the prowl to find someone. Go on many dates, boot a few, keep a few, have a few on the go. I like to just keep on good one, then have many on the go, keeps my head straight and not thinking all the time. | |

|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/15/2007 5:52:57 PM | | I hear it times of why I am still single. I just haven't found that right one. I hope this site leads me to it. It used to bother me that I was single but not anymore. I am happy being single. | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/15/2007 10:09:23 PM | I'm 35 and I get that question all the time coupled with the question: "Oh why don't you have kids? You'll be a good mom some day! You're so good with kids!" I've been asked that "why are you still single?" so many times that I've lost count. Even my brothers (who are both married) keep bugging me and want to know why I'm single.
I turn around and pose the question to my married friends: "So why are you married and why do you have kids? You seem to complain a lot about your spouse and your kids seem to stress you out all the time. Tell me again, what's so great about being married and having kids?" HA! If people ask a stupid question, they're going to get a stupid question in return.
I've also led an independent life and have had a busy career. I've enjoyed my life and don't have any regrets. I believe that things happen for a reason and I'm not one of those people who has to be on a time line according to my biological clock or what other people think or say about the choices I make in my life.
Also, I think it's a really outdated and an old-fashioned question to ask these days. Hello, not all of us 30something women HAVE to get married or even be in a commitment for that matter. We can pretty much do whatever we want with our lives these days regarding our education and our career and sometimes it doesn't involve matrimony and child rearing.
However, I want to meet someone for ALL the right reasons, and not date or be in a commitment for all the WRONG reasons. I'd rather definitely be single and happy rather than be in a bad relationship just for the mere fact that I feel I "need" to be with someone--no thanks! | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/16/2007 5:36:25 AM | | I always hear oh you will find someone one day. Man if I had a dime everytime I heard that I would be rich by now lol! The only people who say that are the ones who are dating or married. You never hear someone who is single tell you this. I want to find someone for the right reasons and not for the sake of it. I want to be in a happy relationship and not in a bad one. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/21/2007 3:02:00 AM | | i am still single becuase i want to be i enjoy spending time with my son and my friends and to add a man into this would just be to hard i dont mind dating but what is wrong with be happy and single why dose everyone think they need someone else? | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/21/2007 3:09:56 AM | When the right person comes along then i will no longer be single....There's no rush to this, i'm happy because of the great friends i already have...both male and female..
And in time if i'm blessed to meet a partner whom i fall in love with.....then that would be great...... | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/21/2007 10:42:44 AM | .... if I knew the answer, I wouldn't still be single.
but if I think it about it long and hard enough I guess its because I want to be - until, he comes trotting round the corner (is that not how it happens?) Done the second best not doing it again, next time if he checks the boxes will go with it if not then why waste time, I beleive you can tell from that first kiss if there is something there or not, and if there is, it's just a case of how long it will last or more to the point how long you want it to......blah blah blah ...................so who knows just go with the flow and in real terms if your not fast yer last  | |

| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/22/2007 9:06:51 PM | | Yogagirl...you ask a very good question, "why are YOU married?" I asked that question to 12 women in my bunco group. Only ONE, yes ONE, married for real love. 7 were in complacent or at best, a mediocre marriages having settled due to the fear of being SINGLE. The remaining 4 were single...waiting for that ONE. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/23/2007 12:33:52 AM | | Maybe I am single because I am just a b*itch, and occasionally unpleasant to be around. Hard to say for sure. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/23/2007 10:29:07 AM | | I don't know why I am still single..... I have Jim Belushi looks, The personality of Jim Carrey.....The wits of Alex Trebek.... The Stamina of Lance Armstrong..... The loving nature of a puppy dog.... Hold on I answered my own question. DANG..... OK now I know why. lol | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/23/2007 1:45:21 PM | LOL Ok you really do resemble Jim Belushi :) Thats not a bad thing by the way.
My reasons for being single , trying to figure out how to get the feet wet after 18 yrs with the same guy. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/23/2007 3:17:46 PM | | I am still single because no lady here has taken a interest in me , I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with me . I just don't understand what it takes to be successful here . I consider myself a good catch since I'm educated and have a great career in aviation . I ask you ladies here give this guy a chance , get to know me you just might be suprised how good you might have it . | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/24/2007 9:43:49 PM | I reply, because I CAN be. I recently saw a show on MTV called Underage and Engaged. I found myself feeling very smug and thought THAT"S why I'm single.  | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/25/2007 10:04:05 AM | well let me start by saying its not through choice! Im now 32 and i know what i don't want but really and truly does anyone know what they do want? Or do we just take what wee get when we have feelings for someone.
I been in a few relationships in the past and they worked then for a while but hence im not there now so obvously something was missing.
I get asked that question all the time even on pof, I have asked my male friends and they say u intimadate men! "when a man sees you in a bar he thinks well that would be a waste of half an hour even trying to talk to her, so they end up standing at the bar thinking about it and getting tanked, by the time they pluck up the courrage to talk to us they are plastered and one can't understand a word they are saying never mind if they are potentials". Believe me there is a lot of truth in this. It has happened more than once.
God I hate that question, Why are you single? I honestly do not know. | |
|
| so, why are you still single? Posted: 8/25/2007 7:30:30 PM | Ah...I am still single because I am still holding open auditions for the woman of my life. Not my dreams but my life. I have good friends in my life and have a good relationship with my family. You do get the question sometimes about this at family events but you answer by sayi9ng that you are dating or have not found the right one yet.
I think for most of us posting in this thread the issue is not with us but with people around us and society at large. We need to keep this in mind. | |
