I'm actually living "alone" for the first time in my life~~ SERIOUSLY... I just thought about that and realized I had never lived "totally" alone in my whole life... I have to say, I kinda like it

I do not understand people who can't be alone.. I enjoy it. I enjoy being with someone once in awhile but right now I like the single life. I've always either had a husband or a "boyfriend" and right now I just do as I please.

I think more and more people today choose to be single and enjoy the freedom as it is called, that they have. Come and go as they please, travel here and there when they want. Less hassles I would think is what many would say.
I find it appealing when a woman has been single for a long time. Shows she is a strong independent woamn.

I love my own company. I was married for 5 years, have two children from that marriage whom I love with all my heart. I have been engaged twice, neither worked out. Other than that have been alone the rest of the time, and love it. I know that people have asked me and I just tell them "If you have to ask you wouldn't understand the answer", and that usually shuts them up.

What I love are the people who ask "Are you still single?" and when I said yes, would then say "Why? What's wrong with you?"

That is the stereotypical upbringing that we are exposed to. What we are "suppose to act like", look for, want to do with our lives stuff from the old regime. I am a throw back to the seventies and free love, the Beatles, the hippie era, and I loved it. I have certainly changed since then but I am more open minded today then I was back then. Be happy!!

I never ask if someone is single. In my way of thinking, EVERYONE is single unless they are married. And as it turns out, quite a few married people are single too.

"quite a few married people are single too." Hmmm. Are you referring to 'separated' couples?
I recall when I was asked (by someone I'd just met) if I was (or had ever been) married. My response would be simple 'tongue in cheek' - "No, I haven't had the DISPLEASURE".

I guess I'm picky as hell....and my work schedule sucks!! 3:30 pm - 2am does not induce romantic thoughts among most women.

I am also extreamly picky.. and I have every right to be..though to be 100% honest.. I do know what "I do not want in a relationhip"... I'm still foggy on ..."What I want and need in a relationship"...

When people ask me why I am still single....I just look them straight in the eye and tell them I'm LUCKY I guess......if that doesn't work....I ask them if they are the point in their realtionship where they feel like recycling their significant other.....if they aren't then I guess I am doomed for solitude.

Why ......

(A) Because I live under the only tree on the only hill in a 300 mile radius...
(B) Due to the fact the the number of men here out number the women 6 to 1 and that woman is married...
(C) I would say I lived in a one horse town but then I'd have to buy a horse....
(D) All the women I find interesting live so far away....

And the correct answer is.......

Sometimes LUCKY.. sometimes not... Right now I feel extremely lucky to be single. I keep getting around people in relationships who are not happy. Men and women are always telling me how they are unhappy and wish they could have my life. Well, they could but it's too much trouble for them to actually have to get out and fend for themselves. It is more comfortable to stay in a bad relationship than break away. I have the best of both worlds right now, I have men I date or spend time with.. but I can always go home...

Hey, you have to admit, most folks have been married at least once by the time they're 35. If they haven't been, I want to know why not. Not that it matters all that much. I still want to know.
It's usually fear of commitment. Or so it seems.

Its the same old problem, when you're with someone you wish you had more freedom but when ur single u wish u had someone to share ur life with .Its a tough balancing act but until ur ready to make a compromise with someone u truly care for, finding "the one" is gunna b tough

I'm single, never married and get asked that question all the time.

And like someone else said, the answer for me, is that I just haven't met anyone I want to give up being single for.

I hear it all the time as well. However, it doesnt really bother me that much. The truth is that I am happy being single. Would I like to meet someone sure, but I am happy being alone. I think people who get together with someone to make themselves happy are creating expectations that someone else may not be able to fulfil.

Im enjoying being single. I'd like to have someone to go out with, but not in a rush to change my single status.

i have been single for about 3 years now, there's nothing wrong with me , I just got fed up with all the bullcrap i put up with when I wasn't single and have a hard time not judging all the women I meet. It's not that I think all women are crazy or anything like that, I'm just being careful of who I let in my life.

I always say because I believe marriage is a lifetime commitment and the longer I wait the shorter I'll have to live with my decision
