Not much of an interest in what I offer- and if I like them they don't seem to like me and vice versa.

Being single isn't a choice by me, I had thought I met the right person in the past and had the rug pulled out from under me. Soon to be 34, and living with my unemployed parents does not help. I wish I had siblings, that would make life easier.

I have heard the question, "So why are you still single?" no one wants to hear the bad stories. I've never been married, I have no children. I was engaged once. A one-year relationship here, another one-year relationship there, then a 6 year relationship and 5 months before walking down the aisle, she decides to jump in the sack with her best male friend and pursue a dead-end relationship with him.

So.... I'm still single because either I made bad decisions that have put me in this situation, or I was just dealt the bad cards. I guess you take a risk in relationships. I took those risks, but didn't have an insurance plan. Lots of money just flushed down the toilet.

mzsomebody, you make me like the idea of being single, thank you :-)

I would also like to recommend to you The Secret: www.thesecret.tv - just trying to introduce some positivity in your life. The bitterness you put out into the universe DOES indeed echo back to you. So don't question why THEY are attracted to YOU, ask WHY are you ATTRACTING THEM?

I have a low bull Sh*T tolerance. I would have to say that is why I'm single.

I meet plenty of people that I like, and that like me.. and that I will/would date, but after a few weeks.. or months... I see things I don't want to live with. Or wont.
Or sometimes, even things I'm willing to compromise on, but the other doesn't want to work with me.

When I get asked this question - I say it's because I got a golden retriever before meeting the right guy! I have a great companion - always happy to see me and go do things!
I get asked this at every family gathering and have been asked it for years...I sometimes fantasize about giving a truly crazy answer - just for the reaction.
I'm guessing the folks on here would have some great ideas of crazy responses to this question!

I am a smart ass, have a low tolerance for b.s., am easily bored, and do not suffer fools gladly. Also have 2 cats, and he must love them as much as he loves me.

Hey MzSomebody - I never called you names...........how old are you???

Firstly it's time for you to grow up and secondly if you hate this site so darn much then leave..............no-one is forcing you to stay here.

Thirdly get a sense of humour!

Because I am extremely picky, live in a very target poor environment, and like "my time" way too much. I would rather be single than be with someone who is a bad match or just to be with someone. I like my own company and can do for myself anything that needs doing ( I mean like cooking, cleaning, laundry, bills etc., shame o you Naughty minds) and don't need another person to complete me. I was married for 5 years and doubt that I will ever get married again. I am one of those people who learns the first time not to stick your hand in the flame again because it hurts. i don't feel the need to own or possess or be owned or possessed by another person.

Hi - the answer is simple - - - because I said no. Otherwise - I'd be divorced - (probably a few times) - but I'll take single any day.

LOL! I love all the people who say because I'm picky and I'd rather be single. Then why are you at an online dating site? You can date in real life and join other sites with people who share your interests. Some of you people are lost.

There might be a clue in here as to why some people have been rejected and are single inspite of their good looks.

Well you couldn't be referring to me because I am not what most consider good looking..............LOL

To the guy that wonders why some of us are still on here and single - I never said I wanted to be single just that I refuse to settle.
Big difference.

I married twice but not by choice, it was lack of options. Now I refuse to settle, I've become content with being alone and lonliness has become my friend. One day God will send the right man my way but until that happens I'm single by choice. I did have a great marriage for 14 years, we had 3 wonderful children but he passed away 16 years ago. Sometimes I wonder if you only get one chance in life at true love...if that's the case then I guess I had mine.

Yes, I get asked "why are you not married" (at my age), to which my reply is "there wasn't anyone I wanted to be married TO"...which pretty much ended our whole conversation.
