| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 2/19/2009 9:22:13 PM | I hear it all the time.
I don't really have an answer. Time just flew by. It amazes me sometimes that I am the age I am, and single again, but on the other hand, I'm not really entirely surprised by it. I keep pretty busy! I'm not worried about it, either. I am who I am, and I'm content in a relationship or out of one.
I like the feeling of being in love, but it's as much an adventure as any other element of my life, and isn't an end point in itself for me. OP, if you're still single in a decade, you'll find you hear it from pretty much every guy you meet.  | |

Posted: 2/20/2009 6:21:24 PM | I enjoy being single and enjoying the fact that I don't have to be tied to the same old routine. I can go whenever I want I can do whatever I want.
Dating is all new again so I find it interesting is all. | |

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"...
I'd have to concur..
Quite frankly, I'm not married at my age because I've said "no" the the people who've asked. I honestly did not feel that they were people I wanted to be married to....
but my main reason for having remained unmarried is.....
I can't possibly promise someone that I'll spend the rest of my life with them when I've barely spent a fraction of my life with myself.
We spend our childhood and young adulthood under the watchful eye of our parents, we can't wait to break fee.... when we're finally free, we're supposed to promise someone else (whom we've not known extensively) the rest of our lives? No, not yet.... not for me.
When the time is right, and there is someone I want to continue my life's journey with, THEN I will promise to spend my journey with them.
As for now, I'm too free and I love it TOO much!
While I do enjoy LTRs, I'm in no rush to permenantly solidify myself with anyone AND his family. My family is enough to bare...lol
I've said enough.....
Ciao!

I wonder that too as my husband passed away 9 years ago...But I really hope thats not true, I hope that the experience the first time around just makes us that much more capable of experiencing true love | |

Hmm. Is love a prize? an achievement? A one shot deal? Or is it perhaps an attitude which you CHOOSE to create? And if that's what it is, why only once?
My guess: the more you give love the more love you get. Google the lyrics to Malvina Reynolds' song "Magic Penny."
I like what Bishop John Shelby Spong teaches: "Love wastefully." Just give it away as if you will never run out because - guess what - you won't. | |

Seems most of the men I meet are commitment phobic or polyamory....
What does it matter to anyone if we are single or not? Are we happy? Are we healthy? Do we have jobs? | |

Posted: 2/26/2009 8:51:57 PM | I guess it is probably because I just didn't see a relationship even though it was right in front of my face. I effd up some opportunities I did have and look back at how much I was a D-bag a$$hole or had some trust issue.  Hey, I'm not perfect. | |

Posted: 2/27/2009 3:52:55 AM | You are not alone. I hear it all the time as well. It can be flattering because obviously the person who asks the questions must think you are a bit of a looker or better just a fantastic person in general and can't believe you have slipped through the relationship / marriage net. However, I also know where you are coming from in terms of guys also thinking, "Well if she is 30-something and still hasn't met someone, maybe she is seriously flawed.........is a bunny-boiler, has hallutosis, has OCD........".
What about blokes who are still single in their 30s and have never had kids? How do you feel about them? I am split. Part of me is soooooo relieved to find someone who doesn't have kids that I am over-the-moon, but then I can't help but think,"why are you still single???????????" lol | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 4:43:54 AM | I have met a lot of men who were never married and after dating them a bit, I found out why.
Note: I did not say all, I said a lot. | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 5:13:31 AM | | I have met a lot of divorced men, and they have so many issues, seek a perfect woman, and are such commitment phobes, the pickings are slim. | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 3:53:25 PM | | Because i have found out that just because men are older, doesn't mean they don't play games like the younger guys do. And if anything, they do it better!!! Hard to find a good and decent man out there... | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 5:08:42 PM | Why am I single? Because I love being exactly the way I am.
If I ever meet a woman who likewise enjoys being exactly what she is, not needy or desperate or incomplete, I will look forward to getting to know her.
I know there are women like that because I have known and loved some. Now I won't settle for less. | |

Posted: 2/28/2009 8:28:28 PM | Have I ever heard 'Why are you still single?'=
Oh yes, by my family and friends. However, I live with my son- not my family and friends...and my son knows very well why I'm still single!!!
Why am I still single?
Because I'm difficult to date.
*I'm too opinionated...NOT argumentative. I won't carry on a disagreement and I'll accept that people have different views, but I'm passionate about what I believe in and this can make for some pretty heavy debates in my household.
*I hate being told what to do or living within other peoples schedules. In relationships, you have to compromise- I would find it very difficult to do so.
In other words, I'm controlling....and seriously, who wants to date controlling.
*I'm cr@p in bed. I'm can't do bondage, talking dirty or role-play~ they make me laugh and that's not appropriate in the heat of the moment. Plus I get bored after a while~ once I've achieved what I need to, it's a case of waiting for him to finish and I start thinking of the shopping list I have to compile.
It's less hassle D.I.Y style- plus the sheets stay cleaner.
*Which brings me on to another reason, why I'm sadly single in my 30's...and have been for...ohhh... a long time!
I LOVE cleaning! Oil, mud and urine splattered toilet seats have no place in my home. Any prolonged exposure to any three of them, have me checking in to the nearest asylum.
Do I want to stay single?
Do you really think I have any choice in the matter?

Posted: 2/28/2009 9:33:42 PM | Why i am single
*Lot of the women that i've dated have way to much drama
*Are not marriage material and i don't wont to waste my time going on dates that wont lead anywhere
*A lot of women that i have dated love to dump their baggage on me daily..i'm not a therapist
*Some women are obvious gold diggers
*A lot of women i dated like to live their life in the club...i hate the club and bar scene
*Some women have habits that i don't like...smoking, drinking to much or drugs
*Some just didn't have the body type that i'm attracted to...some rail thin some just weigh too much
*Some had no sense of humor...which is a major turn off
*Some were not hygenic enough...why do so many people don't wash their hands before they eat
*Way to clingy... i'm not in to the daily 30min phone calls i feel like i'm being checked on
*Some are to friendly with their pets....why do people let their animals kiss them
*Kept on meeting my soulmate at the wrong time | |

Posted: 3/1/2009 1:53:20 AM | I find it odder that no one I meet asks me why I'm still single. It's like they already know, and won't tell me why.
I get discouraged easily- I'm 37, single, hell, and I've never been kissed. Heck, the one girlfriend I've ever had; we met on the Internet. We talked on the phone mainly over a period of two years, but we never met in person.
I'm not hideously deformed, I'm darned smart, and darned funny, but I can't attract a woman romantically. It's even more depressing where after only sending one message to women here, they change their "Standards" so they won't allow messages from me anymore. All my messages are just simple "Hello, you seem like a nice person, etc)
It's not nearly enough to make me want to throw myself under a bus, but still, I seem to be proving a lot of women wrong when they say they'll talk to anyone. *shrug* | |

Maybe the better word is "Caucasian guy". Us Asians guys get harrassed like that from Asian women, Asian Men (mostly people straight from Asia) and especially our Moms!
Oh.. now I finally understand why nobody ever ask me that. I'm not a female, and I'm not asian. So nobody really cares if I'm single or not.
As for why I'm single.. as for many people is because I'm interested in the kind of girls who are not interested in me, and viceversa. Since I don't want to repeat the past mistakes to be with a girl who is not giving me emotions, I'm quite selective on who I want to date, and usually the ones I like are married or engaged. | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 12:25:08 AM | I can't imagine why. Your profile is good. You've got decent pics (The *photography* is just o.k.; *you* are very pretty.). You don't seem to have any "warning flags" in the written portion of your profile. I will say that, in my experience, men tend to think that astrology is a bit goofy... And, yes, I read your profile; I didn't just look at the pics.
So why *are* you still single?
What are you like on dates? Outgoing? Awkward? Shy? I can't speak for all men, but I like comfortable and communicative.
What sort of men are you seeking? "Bad-boy" types? Bookish guys? Jocks? Maybe you're just looking for the wrong type of guy? | |
