| If you're single and not dating, what's your reason?
Posted: 6/25/2007 10:59:29 AM | I get bored with the entire process and just stop looking for months at a time. I'll be open to it, but not actively seeking dates.
It can be about as fun as going on job interviews. | |

Seems as if most men want a sex buddy or someone who is gorgeous. Some of us are average looking and are looking for a relationship that is more than sex. It seems like the problem is global. I read comments like this and have to double check to see if I wrote it... I look to see where the person posting lives and it really isn't the all the guys in my area who are total idiots/jerks??? I don't know if I am happy about it or not. I wish I could see there was some hope to find one guy in the universe who was worth dating. I thought it was the water in my area that was turning all the guys into brain dead idiots... I guess that is not the case at all. | |

Posted: 6/25/2007 11:48:17 AM | | Why did I give up? I grew tired of beating my head against a wall trying to convince women that dating me was worthwhile. Finding dates is difficult for me due at least in part to factors that have been talked to death in other forums. Whatever the reason, if women don't view me as worthy of their time, I won't try to convince them otherwise. The woman for me won't need convincing. Maybe she doesn't exist -- but I can hope. | |

The ones I liked, were not interested. The ones who were interested, I didn't want. The "one" who really took my breath away... wants to be friends.
I'm tossing in the towl.
sounds about right with me...

Posted: 7/5/2007 12:21:55 PM | | I live in a small city and I'm related to a lot of the citizens or someone in my family as already dated them or married them at least once. Also, as a single parent, I'm very cautious about who I date. I'm pretty selective in my dating and no one ever asks. I guess I just don't make myself approachable or it could be that I'm just too ugly. | |

don't feel to bad. I had given up for a while, since last summer when I re wrote my profile and decided to take a break. In the year that has passed..I've had one date with one guy (too young for me) and 3 dates with the same guy who disappeared into thin air...(bizarre since things were going really good)...
At this point, I'm not dating because I don't want to. 1. I know I'm picky..but that's because TWICE I've picked the wrong guy and this time, I need to pick better...2.
The disappointment of liking someone, and then having them 'poof'...well, that's worse than staying in with a good book, and deep conditioning my hair. 3. It's always an unequal balance between either I dig him and he isn't into me, or he digs me and I'm not into him....
Now I'm back to taking a break!

Posted: 7/6/2007 7:54:15 AM | | lol. was told everything from thought was married, or in a relationship to just thought was not interested. have not gotten approached by a women in a while to go out. use to ask out on dates few years back but just really don't now. think women are much more assertive now. they were years ago to me at least. but would say the reasons not dating on a consistent basis is other things like work and paying bills. you reach a point were you get into the nine to five and everything else sort of goes from there. it has never been a time issue for me. more of people are so busy. it may just be a matter of that maybe that person you normally pass by at your frequent hang outs may be available or not married. you don't know unless you ask. because wearing wedding rings or lack of them don't give much information. they could be married without wearing one. not uncommon | |

Posted: 7/6/2007 9:15:17 AM | Why am I not actively looking to date
Fear
of too much too soon
of other people's agendas
of falling like I have in the past and being a mess
of hurting someone else
of the anger that comes after I disappoint them
of believing then finding out I was wrong
of them believing then them finding out they were wrong about me
I have made a friend, don't think we're dating, but he did pay for dinner
Hope the friendship thing can continue
Hopes of anything more are tiny little creatures that I quickly squash
But it' s new
We'll see | |

Posted: 7/15/2007 10:53:54 PM | Very funny......
Being single and not dating is the ebb and flow for most of us that have tried marriage and failed.....
My reasons to not date are fairly easy.....I have not met the right one(s) to date, and when I do.......most are not on the same page as I am, or I am not on theirs.......
I have met more than one on here that I thought might be the right one to move on, but alas.......my moving and their moving did not match.....go figure.....
Such is life.....such is dating .....such is POF......
Just my opinion.......   | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 11:40:39 AM | I wont date just for the sake of dating...I prefer watching mold grow than being with someone Im not into.. I tend to go months without so much as a wink.
We all tend to think we are picky, but I think I take the prize. 
Of course...if im with someone I like , now thats another story, PAARTAYY | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 3:40:54 PM | | My reason is that I have not met a man who can stimulate me enough to want to even SPEAK to him for longer than 10 minutes in over a year. Either that or theyre ugly. I could write a 193812903812093812093821 page book on the dumbasses and mingers i've met in my life time. The last guy I met off the net, I got my friend to check him out in the bar first, then another friend, saw how fake his pictures were, and we actually RAN AWAY. yes RAN AWAY. so this is why, i don't date. ALL MEN ARE FREAKS!!!!!! | |

Posted: 7/16/2007 5:11:33 PM | Well, after the attempted murderer, and the nut job who called me many, many lovely names in a few emails because I wouldn't go out with him again, and the guy who got up to come sit next to me in a restaurant and pray for me, and the one who totally broke my heart, I'm a tad discouraged.
To be honest I just don't feel like wasting my time going on dates that seem like they'll be keepers but turn out to be, ummm, how do I say this politely? Not keepers.
There are so many more things I want to do with my time than spend it trying to look for a way out of the restaurant.
I'm not giving up, just taking a little break for a bit. I'd like to get this bitter pill out of my system before attempting to meet anyone yet. | |
