Posted: 8/20/2006 12:46:51 PM | Because I have put a lot of my energy into other projects such as my hobbies and also my work instead of getting out there and doing something about it.
Also being 6ft6 I am very conscious of my height and find that I dry up in conversation these days yet once I get to know someone I can hold a conversation all night | |

Posted: 8/20/2006 3:52:35 PM | | I think that too many women dont want to give my fine self a chance to show them what a reall fun and attractive guy can do for them and they judge very quickly without finding what is inside or they like all the wrong types of men and continually are drawn to them!! | |

For the last 6 years I have pretty much traveled around the country and the world. I am often not in a place long enough to find a meaningful relationship, or anyone to convince me to stay. Also, though men seem to be fascinated with my life and ease of picking up and going, owning no possessions, etc etc. No one ever wants to join me. At this point, I feel I am sacrificing love, but if I stay do I sacrifice life that I love? | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 3:23:01 PM | | Nope, I get asked this all the time.. My answer is always the same everytime. I used to be way to busy, travelling, and too dam spontaneous and this turned a few guys off. But now I'm a little older and looking again. I'm more settled down LOL | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 6:44:45 PM | | Is there any way of getting rid of all these ridiculous concepts? Millions of people are single. It's epidemic. It's because so many don't really want to love, so many don't really want to commit and so many have an agenda so long that has to be filled, that has nothing whatsoever to do with real life or real people. | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 8:22:15 PM | I think I was single by choice for a long period of time. May not have always recognized it as choice but wisdom is often hard earned. When I became single at 34, with 3 children, I tried to find relationships and was a serial monogamist. I never totally allowed the partner to be my partner. It was alway me and the children and him. Actually, few even met my children. I felt responsible for the children and never allowed anyone the grace to assist me with my life.
I retrained, have spent the last 10 years building my career and as the last son enters grade 12 (last one at home also, sniff tear) I am ready for an equal relationship. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 6:25:39 PM | Yes, it does seem like being divorced is socially acceptable and being single, well, just doesn't seem to be.
I have been asked that question a couple of times and it does make me wonder. On the other side of the coin I have also asked the question of women I've dated.
I feel like the older I get the smaller the pool of compatible mates gets. I now know what I want and don't want and it does make the search difficult. I have not gotten married as of yet mainly due to the fact that I will not settle for just anyone and potentially end up in a divorce which to me is much worse than being single at 33.
I have had many relationships (good & bad) and fortunately for me none have ended in marriage.
For all you ladies that are stressed about being in your thirties and never married I suggest you read the following article "http://www.couplescompany.com/Mystic/34/single30.htm" for some great insight.
There are men out there who want to get married and personally, I would prefer a woman in her early thirties who has matured and knows what she wants without any question. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 8:42:13 PM | | No you're not the only one as you can see. I've been through many relationships the good, the bad, and the don't wanna go there's. I get asked "why aren't you married?" or the really funny one "Are you gay?" and the answer to them both "No, I just haven't find the right woman!". Is that so hard to believe in this day and age? | |

Posted: 10/13/2006 9:53:42 AM | | I am single because most men prefer younger women probably to start new familly or for whatever reason(s). I am single because I am an older woman and would never trade it for anything and most guys prefer younger females. I am single because "once bitten twice shy" by (anyone know the artist? haha). I am single I am a lot wiser and was silly b4 to choose unhealthy men (live n learn). I am single mostly by choice n loving it. I am single because I am okay with it because at least I don't have to live life a lie which means staying in a love relationship that I don't love the other person or vise versa. I am still single because I see most guys stay with hottie women (vise versa) even though they mis treat or disrespect them. I see a lot of all this games or whatever and I don't want to be a part of it. I do still hope to meet mr. right. I do enjoy meeting many ppl from different ethnicitys. I am single because I am older and the inner time clock is ticking or whatever but I do understand that I do leave it up to my Creator regarding to have kids. I am single and its all good. | |

Posted: 10/13/2006 5:51:25 PM | Why are you still single does not really apply to me since I have just gotten out of a 4 year relationship.
BUT.....to add my two cents worth here (if I can)
Marriage is not sacred anymore, no one knows the meaning of COMMITMENT (threw good and bad) They can bail at any time threw the bad because it seems to be the OK thing to do. Its like "give me an excuse and I am outta here, no one will judge me then" Also as we get older we are more paticuallar on what we want in a relationship. Not that easy to find Mr. Right anymore, so hell might as well stay single until he comes around.
Guess What People!!!! What you hear about and read in Romance Novels are not TRUE. Atleast I have never found that prince that would ride in on the white horse and take me away, keep me safe for all eternity, Love me for ever, etc.....
I think I will give up on the myth and just find someone who is compatable with me, he will put up with my shit and I will put up with his shit. lmao | |

Posted: 10/13/2006 8:21:39 PM | I was married for 8 years. Been single for 12 years. I prefer being single and probably will not marry again.
For the first few years after my marriage ended, that's all I got from family members: Why are you still single? (that was my Dad's favourite question) Whenever my relatives would call for birthdays or holidays they always asked: Do you have a boyfriend yet? I finally told my Dad I was a lesbian (I'm definitely not - not that there's anything wrong with that) and that shut him up. It worked so well, I gave my relatives the same. No one asks anymore.
I am quite content being single. I am probably happier than all my family members who complain to me constantly about their unhappy relationship problems. . . .! | |

I guess hell really did freeze over....good for you paigey!
I don't date becuase i just complicates everything....people put so much pressure on each other to fit in this package they call a realtionship, that they lose the essence of what being "with" someone really means...but that's just my two cents... | |

Posted: 10/14/2006 7:05:29 PM | | I focussed on my career first. Now that I have the job of my dreams, and it has been almost 8 years, and a great single family home to call my own, I think it is now time to expand my life into something new. Made some good friends. Though none appear to be the kind that will turn into relationship material. So I'm here and going out to do a variety of activities. So far nothing close to a relationship, but I know a lot more than when I started looking. A fun life it is, and I think more fun will happen when I meet that someone special. Change, it is the one constant that moves us forward! | |

Posted: 10/15/2006 7:25:38 AM | I am single for a variety of reasons:
I am a dumbass
I am paranoid
I am short
I am cheap
I don't get out much
I talk to myself in public and sometimes I start giggling to myself
Sometimes I smell bad
I am selfish
I don't want to father children and I don't want to get married
I am conceited
I am honest
I like being alone
I am boring | |

nope hell hasn't frozen over yet --- ground still soft here 
yes congrats paige -- good to finally hear you landed one.
myself on the other hand -- have 20 somethings wanting to 'hook up' and have me teach them a few things. doesn't feel right 'robbing the cradle' so to speak. and quite frankly most of the men i've met in this town are not worth anything long term as they're commitment challenged. -- that's the reason as to why i'm still single | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 4:03:13 AM | God knows, it could be a number of reasons.
1. I just aint attractive to the people I find attractive.
2. I am annoying
3. I try too hard which is annoying.
4. My feet smell.
Who knows, it's probably just the luck of the draw. At the end of the day i only need to meet one person who i will love for them and they will love for me so I reckon there must be over a billion females I aint even seen let alone dated yet. So there is still hope and the odds are in my favour. | |

Posted: 10/16/2006 11:37:27 AM | | I moved around most of my adult life. And really, I didn't want to get married until I had a good career. I worked for a software company for 4 years, but job security wasn't great. I have limited options because of my height (5'7") and my age, but you have to work with what you got. There's a Portuguese saying: "Quem não tem cão, caça com gato." That means: "Who doesn't have a dog hunts with a cat (instead)." | |
