Why is a great person like you single?
Posted: 8/11/2008 8:46:33 PM

I'm running out of creative answers to this question. Any one care to help?


How about:

"Because if I'm not...Mistress said she'll punish me by 'accidentally' ignoring my safeword....." (remember to use a fearful tone in your voice. )

well think it has to do with several factors , including my location, lack of experience , gone after some of the wrong girls over the years ( either out of my league or just too many issues between me and her ) ,
and i just haven't really ever got into the whole dating thing or been successful at it . seem to meet alot of girls but not really get anywhere with them . so it has left me being single for a while .
at the point i'm not really even sure what it would take for me to actually find a girl to date long term . that has seemed like an impossible task as of late .

IF it is being asked by someone also single I just reply with tell me first why a guy like you is single . If it is just a conversation opener..I just smile and let it ride. I try to conter with something of more substance ignoring the original opener. Take it as a compliment and just smile, someday they may stop asking...

Apparently i'm too good to be true. Lol. I'm too nice. How is that possible? I don't like arguments. I don't mind if my man stays out all night clubbing as long as i know. I don't mind if my man goes away with his boys. I'm easy going. The list is endless. This apparently makes me to good to be true which in turn makes me a fake. I can't be something i'm not though.

I get the same question from women occasionally. It's kind of logical. I have been out with women I was not interested in. I have been out with women who were not interested in me. I have yet to find someone I am compatible with, thus I am single.

How about, "I don't like having to play the little games"?

(But maybe some people like playing the little games.)

Here's one that might be good, if you can pull it off: "Oh, I must look very mature for seventeen!"

Firstly, I don't address myself as great,

Secondly, I simply ask them if in today's world do they think marriage is forever,
as I was married for 21 years, never thought I'd be divorced...

Thirdly, at the present time I am much happier being single, than married to a
wrong person! That usually makes them think!

If someone has never been asked this question, I would guess that is an answer in itself? JK

Anyways, I have been asked this on occasion, right now I can answer by saying it is a choice to be single. Although I greatly miss a lot of aspects that a relationship involves it is just not something I suppose can happen at this moment.

I am here and looking for friends not limited to that but, as of September I will be in my last year of College, I work nearly fulltime hours and I am a single mom of 2 kids. Given all of these other responsibilities, I just don't have the time to give a potential partner the attention they deserve.

Sorry for the long reply!

Other than that an ok response could be: I guess people never realize what they have until it is gone. It's easy to take something/someone for granted without realizing you are doing so!!

I get asked this same question periodically. My answer is simple. I haven't found the right guy yet. The one that makes my heart all twitterpated. Makes me smile everytime I think about him. Definitely knows how to make me laugh. Makes me melt with those special kisses, that only he knows how to give me. Let's me have my space and individual identity. And makes me feel safe. I am a hopeless romantic, so of course I believe he is out there somewhere!

I would say being single doesnt make you questionable?


Just that life isnt rosy and perfect for everyone else in the world ....
be realistic...

excellent reply there metro. i have also been on the receiving end of that line here a few times 'what is someone like one doing single' well first of all if im online admitting it to the whole world, im obviously at the stage where i have started wondering that too!! though inevitably these are the guys who realise i am a REAL person with real opionions and a brain and then lose interest and thats it the internet cold shoulder!! ouch!
but what has annoyed me the most is those who say they are not that bothered about looks that they have met great looking girls who are not nice people etc......but then u explain that u carry a few extra pounds or are over weight and then.....ur next e-mail is met with an echo!!!
why so shallow. i am not generalising here it is not all, im am speaking of some irish men who have yet to be intorduced to a mirror or teadmill themselves.
i digress, i think the line 'why are u single etc...' is just that, a line, its a flirt, its a cheesy cheesy line, would u accept it from someone face to face???
thank u!!

I hate this question too, and whenever people ask it.. I usually say something like "That's a really good question, if you find out, please let me know, because i sure don't!"
What the hell? I guess they just want to find out more about you but.. only really know one thing about you: that you are single!
oh well.

a-farking-men sister!!!! i was going to post something like this but seeing this post just made me ROTFLMAO! I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'm single but it isn't by choice, its just the way it is at the moment and am sooooooooooooooo tired of hearing this question!!! its almost as if the person asking it is asking "what's wrong with you? why aren't you like the rest of society and with someone?"

I tend to answer the question with "If i knew that, i wouldn't be single, would I, dumass?"

A friend of mine suggested I say "because the right woman hasn't come along yet" but i like my answer better.

I think the realistic answer is "because people can't see me past my looks, and that's their loss".

I would say because of my body type. Girls do not like cuddly guys.

Appart from that, I have managed to learn, polish and constantly improve my character to the point that when a girl finds me, she will have a treasure on her hands, my heart.

It is a matter of time now. :)

I'm single again because I was given the best break of my life.


I'm quoting "thecatt" from a 2006 posting because...

BECAUSE it makes sense...

I'm a content woman right now in my life, which is why there are really no complaints.

I feel that there is "someone" out there for me and, we just haven't reached each other yet. When the timing is right, it will be right, until then...I will just continue and enjoy my family, friends and life for now.

I also get tired of being asked why am I single.

I tell them the truth of course........ I am single now, because my S/O passed away last year. Does it make a difference why anyone is currently single? If you are, you are, it's just how it is and everyone is single either out of choice or something that was not within their control.

lol; i agree; its like they are saying,"you seem normal; what defect in your personality or looks makes someone not want you?"

My first response when someone asks me? I ask them the same thing. They realize its a dumb question.

Smile, and say, "I haven't found the person that I am compatible with -- the "forever" one, and while I'm looking for that person, please pray for my success....In the meantime, if you know any eligible men (or, women, for the gentleman), who are "looking" also, maybe you could arrange for us to meet?"
