Because I don't like bars and in this area, that seems to be a crime and makes you a non person to most people. Much rather do something else. This Sunday I've got a ticket and going to see John Pinette live at the Empire theater downtown and I can't wait! Never seen him before, but his stuff on Utube is hilarious! I'd rather do stuff like that than goto a bar and drink my face off and only hear half of a conversation in a noisy place. All - in - All the question
so, why are you still single?
is rather annoying, but, I'll live with it.

Think some gov't needs to start a commission to answer that question. They need to spend tons of tax dollars to get to the bottom of it. In short, we need a manual everyone can refer to like "Being Single for dummies" so we can all learn not to ask silly questions....

Be Well.....

For me, being single is a chance to regroup. I was in 2 LTRs and they left me kind of exhausted when they ended. Both fizzled away, they really didnt have a goodbye speech or proper closure. I wanted to see what the fizzle was, before I did it again.

Then I had long distance relationships, well, one really, she had a friend in my city and so visiting wasnt completely on me, so it took the pressure off both of us, emerging from LTRs. Now, that one suffered because I didnt have the clarity of purpose. Neither did she, although I think I was more ambivalent. So now I had rid myself of a lifetime of "having to be with someone" and entered the chill zone.

Whats happened is that I now need to find a way to keep my own boundaries, my positive space, within a relationship. I seem to disappear in relationship, I kind of used to doormat a bit to keep them happy. Theres a thin line between compromise and surrender, and its perfecting that line I want now. I need to be in relationship with someone who sees themselves as a spiritual person, and sees our relationship as their path toward enlightenment.

That doesnt mean becoming one being. Merging. It means both of us facing the same direction.

my answer to them is because I like it this way. The other thing is men in my age group cannot accept the fact that I do have an 11 year old. Majority of them think Im looking for a daddy or someone to take care of my child and believe me Im not. I do a very good job on my own. There is nothing wrong with you you just havent found the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Enjoy your life and you keep going sista!!!!!

Thats because we are all on here reading 67 pages about why we are single instead on going out with one another...

I'm single because it's fun. And I like variety.

And I take a twisted pleasure in cleaving a wide destructive swath in the labial landscape of my immediate urban surroundings. Having a girlfriend or wife would force me to lie about it. And I never lie.

Hahaha ok, THAT was a lie, but that will be the last time. I swear...

I am still single because:
1. Most ladies prefer taller men. I am very short.
2. I don't like to date.
3. I drink alcohol almost everyday.
4. Most of the ladies I am attracted to are already taken.
5. I am asking the wrong ones out.
6. I don't have very many hobbies or interests...short attention span.
7. I am very hairy.. I will never shave my back..
8. I would rather sit on the couch, drink gallons of beer and eat pizza instead of going to the gym.
9. I love classic movies..most of the ladies I meet are not into old movies.
10. Obviously I am not trying hard enough, but at the same time I to lazy to do so.

I think alot of people that are looking for miss or mr. perfect is not going to find them. Why? Because, no one, ..no one at all is going to fit your list for Everything you desire in a person. Humans have too many flaws, and alot of people see one flaw in a person, and move on, without even getting to know the person. Take your time, and get to know someone...Listen, instead of talk. I say this in my personal experience, and from reading what others have to say. Give people a chance...and hopefully you will surprise yourself, and you might actually find someone.
Now, am i single? Sure... I've dated alot, been in several relationships... they didn't work out, because most were longdistance, or well, i normally pick the type of guys that are "bad boys" per say. And they lied and hurt me, more than I could deal with. All you can do is move on, and look still.. but don't be so Closeminded about people.. Don't look for certain types of people, especially if they only have money, or good looks.. that's what i DONT look for, and never bother to.. sometimes it's all about chemestry.

I'm single because I enjoy it 1000 times more than even just dating a woman. I enjoy the freedom and space far too much. I've never understood the mentality of "needing a partner" though I've never been in a LTR. Even if I had no friends or family, I'd still prefer my own company.

I would rather wait for the right person rather than in miserable relationship. I would stop searching altogether for the right person and just let it be.

Because I'm wise enough to know I have some issues I need to work out via creativity and therapy before I can be ready for any woman and I'm still young enough to do that and not lose too much time taking a dating sabbatical. At 35 my time is just entirely too precious to spend it in idle relationships destined to go as far as a car with no gas. Hopefully the end of the year will mark a new beginning and won't be answering this question again.

I just ignore it.

People online tend to over analyze things.

Too many people like too much of the same cliche corny stuff....and THAT is why I'm single.

No one these days wants a down-to-earth metalhead who likes horror movies, and is just content with the simple things in life.

They say, "be yourself." Then how come everyone does the SAME THING...for instance....putting up 8 pictures on their profile....several of themselves, one with mom, two with best friend, one with opposite sex person, one in a bar with 5 friends, retch, retch, barf, uuuhhhh, vomit, ralph

Sorry...those people were to blame for that. Other things that make me instantly puke are people who talk about their "zest for life" and "live life to the fullest" and "you only live once." NO KIDDING. Really???? (in)Sincere thanks for making me aware.

I can't ever stop being me....even though I for the most part know that it will net me next to no dates.....I don't care....people want cliches, and I WON'T be one

And that's my story....and my answer to why I'm still single

Try and rock on if you can

Because the guys who like me are substance abusing stalkers or whores who just want to see if they can get me into bed. Really!!
If those are my choices then I think I`d rather be a crazy cat loving spinster.

I get asked this question too. Its mainly because I wasnt looking for a relationship for a long time, I focused on my children and didnt want to give them a 'stepdaddy' way too much conflict with two teenage boys.

my favorite response to "why are you single?' or "why aren't you married?" is:

Because I haven't met the right stripper yet.
