| so, why are you still single?
Posted: 6/5/2006 7:13:54 PM | | For the past 12 years I was happily raising my daughters and now that they are rearly all raised and out of the home I started dating once again. I have been looking into the dating seen which has changed, so I have been looking at the characterists of the kind of man, gemtleman, that I am looking for. | |

Posted: 6/5/2006 7:41:30 PM | Ya know something? I never get asked that question. I am a single 39 year old guy in Aspen, heaven on earth and hell for dating, no one in their right mind would ask me that, LOL.
Now when I complain about it to my friends that I can never seem to meet anyone here, I get the "It will happen when you least expect it" line. | |

*giggles*
Stupid questions irritate me. | |

Posted: 6/5/2006 7:47:40 PM | I've had this bad habit of getting into long term relationships with the wrong person. It has made me more aware of what I'm looking for and not looking for though. I'd rather be single than with the wrong person (ya I know, see above). Have fully discovered myself now though!
Cheers ;o) | |

Posted: 6/5/2006 10:35:48 PM | I am still single by choice, have been for more than 10 years. Now I am choosing to put
myself back into the dating arena but, unfortunately am not having much luck. I have not
met anyone I have connected with, not romantically anyway. I find that on this site men
my age don't seem all that interested. Like I said on another post, most of my e-mails are
from much younger males or from men seeking intimate encounters. Not my style. Maybe
if I click my heels together 3 times, I'll end up in someones Kansas.

Posted: 6/6/2006 8:46:21 PM | | Single is not all that bad. Settling for anyone is not the way to go. At 55 ,married 3 times and with 2 kids I have come to realize that being single, free and independent is not a bad way to be. And yes, I have been asked why. And been called GDI and GU. But..... I am happy and single and still enjoy a great date. Enjoy life by any means and know that single is good when you look at it that way. I know many miserable marrieds! hugs! | |

Posted: 6/6/2006 11:26:14 PM | The reason that I am still singe can be found in the "abusive women" post.
for the last few decades the whole disgusting culture of husband bashing has ben well hidden under the skirts of the feminist movement and many many wives genuinely believe that this kind fo abuse is a normal way to treat a husband.
Note that this paticular post on abusive women is the first to actualy feature posts by women who do agree that this behaviour is unacceptable.
If the choice is happily single or unhappily marrie well. go figure. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 3:09:57 AM | | WHY do people ask us why we are single or not married... I mean what do they want us to say "oh I'm so pathetic nobody wants me"..... "I never get asked out"..... The last person stole all my money"....."gee I don't know..do you know?"...If there was a perfectly good explanation then the ones who want to be married would be!!! People who ask this question of single people don't realize just how rude it is. Plus they want us single people to envy them because they are married and wants everyone to think they have the PERFECT Life and marriage which is usually FAR from the truth. People have finally stopped asking me, I tell them I have 3 engagement rings on my dresser but I'll be dang if any of them fit in my NOSE!! | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 6:37:16 PM | Like others, I enjoy life at the moment.
I'm not looking for a quick fix, and I want something that will last.
In this world where there are multiple divorces, broken families, I'd rather not add myself as a statistic to that.
I believe that better can be had. When I find better, then I'll go for it.
Until then, I make the most of what I have. | |

Posted: 6/7/2006 7:16:30 PM | Because single is something I am very good at. Too good, in fact.
I have been thinking of conjuring up a divorce, just so people won't ask why I am still single.
Would that work? | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 10:02:51 AM | What was it that Bridget Jones said???....Because underneath all our clothes us single folk are covered in scales....
as for why I'm single, well, I guess the guy who is out there waiting for me is waiting on the wrong freakin' bus stop...and you know what men are like about directions.
seriously, who knows, i just am and i take it for what it is and enjoy my life each and every day. | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 10:38:32 AM | I WAS engaged to be married but that was 11 years ago...
NOW it's same old same old, I'm hardly perect and I'm incredibly shy (despite doing a community radio show, go figure). I think I lead a fairly alternative lifestlye (JUST fairly), In the past I've been mistaken for gay (which has gotten me into a LOT of trouble over the years), and having a lot of gay friends (and hanging out in gay clubs) certainly hasn't helped. (and BEFORE you ask, I've had enough gay men hit on me over the years to know where I stand on the possibility of actually being gay)

Posted: 6/8/2006 3:23:00 PM | well still single is quite a way to put it, sounds like a holdover from the days of till death do us part, like as if when someone is single that means they never hooked up with anyone,
The question i ask myself these days is why do i think i will ever be anything but single? Since i am not rich, i dont like being dominated and manipulated as a reward for liking someone, there is so little hope for me in this money worshipping world, is there?
Or another question, why would i want to be anything but single, how about that question huh? | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 4:05:29 PM | You don't have to be not rich to not find yourself a date. I'm quite financially capable of handling the burdens of a relationship, marriage, or whatever. However, I don't want it to be all one sided. I worry that those wishing for a prince charming want to have a one sided relationship, and don't want to do their part. Someone who is active and outgoing and has a good job would be an ideal person for me to spend time with. Still trying to find someone who isn't too involved in their work to be with.
At least I'm going out on hikes, and will probably be volunteering more, maybe even take some classes again. | |

Posted: 6/8/2006 5:02:56 PM | I have had such bad experiences that now when I meet a man I am impossible to please! I still have faith. But I am not looking. I am quite happy right now and when it happens, it'll happen. Oh and because I dated a black man once, everyone thinks I only date black men.
Go figure! | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 11:47:23 PM | I am still single because I will not settle for less than I deserve....
When it is meant to be, it will be. I have no worries and I am content with my life. :) | |

Posted: 6/11/2006 2:48:47 PM | Hi OP,
I'm starting to get this question a lot too these days. Actually, it doesn't quite get asked in the polite manner you've described. People have literally said to me "You're 36 and never been married so what's wrong with you?" I have even heard this from guys who are in my age range and never been married themselves--go figure...LOL.
Funny how people assume there is something wrong with those who choose not to marry too early in life. While marriage may be a common goal for many people, they are not all working within the same timelines to reach that goal. I made a decision in my early 20's not to marry before experiencing life on my own. It was important for me to achieve my other goals first, such as travelling around the world, living independently, becoming established in my career and being financially stable. So that in a nutshell is what's wrong with this fish. No regrets here though! | |
