Subject: so, why are you still single?
Message: I am still single because I don't get out much. I don't party, hang out in bars. I get up in the morning, drive my daughter to school, write softeware, pick up daughter from school and drive home, write software, go home, work on side projects (software), write music, eat, go to sleep. rinse and repeat.
On weekends I take my kid out for lunch, wash my car, go shopping, write software, write music, watch movies, play with my cat, get drunk, hang out in places like this.
ono reason your just looking for freinds and and freindship can only go so far | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 8:45:23 AM | | Well, at first I didn't have time. I worked quite a few jobs to support my daughter, single parent here. Not that I didn't date, but really didn't take the time for a relationship, maybe was a self-preservation mode, not sure on that one. Then as they say time flies and actually I was pretty content, children have a way of filling up your life. Then I had time and I guess (now that I look at it, hindsight you know) I settled. I can't say that I didn't love him, but when a lot of it's one-sided and you let things slide just for the sake of having someone there, really not good, for them or you! Some times when you have a lot going on in your life you don't see things as they really are, or maybe you just don't care to see, so you settle for things that you normally wouldn't, or want to think you wouldn't. Am I angry at the people I have had relationships with? No, actually I'm glad that I had them, it was all part of me growing as a person. I think you can always look back and see that you could have done something different. I try not to live in my past, even though my past is still part of my present, and hopefully I have learned from it. I prefer to think about great things still out there to come and I look forward to it. My great adventure, next chapter. | |

Posted: 3/29/2008 2:47:24 PM | I'm still single out of choice rather than anything else. Well ok, I lost the girl I wanted to grow old with (ya she did it for me BIG time) to 'coke' but thats her journey not mine and I have a 5 year old Son to look after!
I hear the same question all the time... great job, house, car, money and apparently am a great bloke to be with so whats wrong witih you, why you still single they all ask? My Nan, now 80, doesn't want to die until I get married haha (ok she's Italian)!
Well, reason I'm single is that I need to be distracted by a woman and so far, none have really done it. Not that my standards are set too high or anything, but boobs, blonde hair and a sexy smile don't get me on all fours anymore!
When it happens it happens they say! But then its too late and all those silver clouds just roll into one... long may it last for those who will/have found it!

Posted: 3/30/2008 11:02:21 AM | Lol, wow someone that has my luck. I find it gets alot harder to date when everyone you meet is already married or has a boyfriend. Where are all the single people hiding? I guess online.  | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 12:24:49 AM | NO you are not. I get the other question;"why is such a 'nice guy' all alone?" LOL Basically I am single now because I am cautious. After my wife decided to have three boyfriends AND wanted to stay "married", I became VERY cautious. LOL Now, at 59, its my fate. Life is what it is, and we have to live it out. The alternative is NOT an option, to me. (and I wonder if this will generate any responce?)

Posted: 4/1/2008 8:58:00 AM | | I totally agree with lonleyinsalem on this one, I am single because I am cautious. I will know him when I see him and in the mean time, I am just going to be me and like it! | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 11:34:22 AM | | wishonastar you are so right in that aspect, dont understand that one bit, are we not here to meet ppl and talk. So why is it whenever you ask to talk to someone they just read and delete without even the consideration of talking, they all say looking for nice loyal guy but when one tries and talks to them all they get is a read and delete. Whats up with that. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 5:54:44 PM | | welsh: The answer is obvious. Women on here bull**** and lie as much (if not more) than a lot of guys do about their true intentions and what they really want. Unfortunately, as online dating is slowly teaching me, in this day and age everyone is just looking for physical satisfaction and some arm candy to boost their egos. This goes for both men and women. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 3:29:59 AM | | I worked a lot and never had time to find the right person. Oh I've been in a few relationships, but they weren't anything capable of lasting. I was shy and insecure about myself but losing 70 pounds took care of that. Now at 36, it's extremely hard to find any single women around my age group that aren't either tied down by kids (which I won't date), in a relationship or that have other issues. I just wish that I had the attitude and confidence I've got now ten years ago when women were more plentiful. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 7:42:53 AM | You'll know when you see them???? They gonna have a neon sign flashing on their forehead with your name on it.  OMG..... Sorry, couldn't resist that one. I'm not putting a pic on here because I want to see just how many people will follow their own BS, looks doesn't matter. Hmmmm.
 Reminds me of that Garfield stuffed animal who people stick to their car windows. Here is my wacked sense of humor; photos - garfield = Who is to say that a lot of those photos aren't from 20 years ago or not even them. Not that you won't figure it out eventually if you meet. So, I keep on keeping on here. I'm cuter than a bouquet of warts if that helps anyone.

I totally understand. I wasn't too shy when I was in college in my mid-20s. I went out with several young women and talked to others. I just wish I would have had more follow-up at the time, not to mention at least a halfway decent job. I'm not the sugardaddy type, but neither was I comfortable with starting a serious relationship with burger-flipping and dish-washing jobs. If you don't want a woman with kids and if you can't or won't fudge on the no-kids requirement, then you might want to try looking in a big city or a foreign country. I know the situation. I live in the South and it seems like at least 50% of women tend to start having kids by the time they're 21. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 10:21:35 AM | | I think it is one of the most ridiculous, redundant questions anyone could ask anyone, as, if I knew why I was still single, I would no longer be single, right? right ;p | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 1:04:43 PM | I'm still single because I want to be single. Been married twice and I'm not making that mistake again. While I love women I just can't get past the idea of trusting anyone again. I'm sure I'll get over it sometime or another. Or I'll just keep some hooker on the side.
Plus.....I'm a real azzhole these days. My mother says it's genetic.....I got it from my Dad. | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 6:38:19 PM | "...guys keep asking me why i'm still single. is it wrong to have led an interesting, independent lifestyle through your 30's?"
It isn't "wrong," but it may be unusual, or out of the ordinary, in some people's experience. Have pity that their existence is so limited.
"...maybe i have had my share of fun, hard times, and other things to focus on other than marriage."
Good point.
" ...i'll be 35 next month, and i never felt that something was "wrong" with me 'cause i was still a bachlorette...until everyone started asking this question!"
There is nothing "wrong" with you. 35 is plenty young enough to get married and/or start having babies, if that's what you want; but some people aren't cut out for parenthood, and nobody should be pressured into it.
"...am i the only one who hears this kind of thing?"
I've been divorced 20 years. Long ago, I quit answering when people asked me when I was going to get remarried, but I still hear it now and then. Some responses I have used include:
For women, "Are you asking me out?" or, "Are you trying to set me up with (your sister, your cousin, your neighbor, etc)?"
For men, "Are you trying to set my up so you don't have to pay alimony?" | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 10:16:03 AM | I'm single because I'm old, and bitter about being single.
It's kind of funny though, how you can have your life together, have a great job and a cool car, and lots of great friends, and life just continuous being great and peachy ... and then the topic comes up in a conversation and you mention that you have been single for 5 years and it's been almost a year since you were out on a date ... and poof! people look at you like you just skinned their pet rat!
Thank you for letting me vent. | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 9:54:18 PM | | Easy. I've been wearing my heart on my sleeve for the last five years. As much as I've tried to contain my emotions, I just can't, I spent my childhood keeping things to myself and walking on eggshells, and I think that as an adult, I've earned the right to feel the way I feel when I feel it. I've been an open book over the last few years - I have no game (which is also annoying that everyone else has a game they play and fail to let me in on the rules). Lastly, I live in a small town, and what sucks the most about it is, when you live in a small town like me, everyone knows your story. And since everyone here knows my story, I can't get a date, people talk about me behind my back and are sweet as pie to my face. I bet you'll just jump to conclusions as to why, so I won't even fill you in...but if you want to prove yourself right or wrong, message me and I'll tell you. | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 6:42:02 PM | | I'm just starting to get back into the mix, and it has changed quite a bit. The single life has been fun, but now it's time to step up. | |
|

Posted: 4/4/2008 7:16:33 PM | | Maybe you are still single because you are just plain smarter than the rest. Instead of rushing into things in your life, you decided to stop and smell the roses. Nothing wrong with that, I'm sure alot of ppl on here wish they did the same. | |
