| If you're single and not dating, what's your reason?
Posted: 7/23/2006 12:31:47 PM | There's a lot of emotional investment in dating, even in the dates that don't work out, so in order to keep my attitude positive, I take a breather every now and then.
I like to date. I like getting out of the house and exposing my corny sense of humor to a hapless victim over lunch, drinks, or a round of miniature golf. But after four or five dates over a couple months, it's gets to be a little draining, so I take a month or two off to recharge and catch up with housework. Simple. I think that if I keep my attitude fresh, not only will it make the eventual long term relationship happier, it'll make the road travelled up to it that much more fun and engaging. | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 1:59:23 PM | I was single for a long time.
Part of it was the fact, that I had two kids and I made them my top priority.
Then it was the fact that it took me a long time to meet someone before and when I finally did and thought it was the real thing, my kids got involved and thought the world of him.
Well, He broke my heart, and on top of it he broke my kids heart also. I felt really bad about that, and it was part of the reason that it took me so long to date anyone. THey had been through enough. So, I then again just focused on them, and really did not want to date and took me a while to get over the person I had fallen so hard for. So, that was the other reason I did not date.
Sometimes you just have to sit back awhile, and get your feelings straight before you enter into another relationship. I hate games, I hate liars, and people who cheat in a relationship.
I think my oldest daughter has dated more people in her last two years, than I have dated in my lifetime. lol.
I am just now getting back into the wanting someone in my life....
and this time my kids won't get hurt.

I have no reason. None at all. Couldn't tell you any reason for why I'm single and not dating...maybe I'm just in the wrong place, in the wrong time and totally out of luck...*shrugs* | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 3:18:54 PM | | For me? I have found that the older you get. The fewer options you have or choices. I am not willing to settle for less. I know that I deserve and will find what I need (eventually). | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 3:29:59 PM | Not dating for a reason!!!!
society is selfish and self centered compared to our parents generation. the willingness to comprise and find neutral ground no longer exists. Relationships start and end quickly because people are unwilling to put the same effort they put in their jobs. Ironic enough that its the relationships that are more important than the monetary value they earn from their jobs.
Is there anything better than holding the one you love at the end of the day and holding them tight...?? prob not!! but instead we take home the days frusterations and blame the loved ones for the imperfections of the world.
Sorry drank at the beer gardens from the boat races....feel free to ignore my ramblings im severly drunk | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 6:49:20 PM | | It honestly depends on my schedule. I have a life - if dating fits into it, then fine. If the right person comes along, I will make room. Otherwise, I'm not going to turn my life and priorities upside down for the 1% chance that a date might manage to be mature, respectful, intelligent, articulate... for starters! What is meant to be will be. | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 7:01:31 PM | I'm beginning to think because I'm not perfect, but I guess its because I haven't found that someone that I'm good enough for, that I'm interested in also. And lets face it I'm rather happy being me, I'll do some little changes to make myself more marketable, going to lose about 20 pounds well hopefully move it from my midsection to my shoulders where it belongs.(having a hard time with that, diet food sucks I've always been a steak and potatoes man well and ice cream lol). Going to get my smile fixed, have had ugly teeth since I was little, almost died and the medicine messed them up, so I am probebily just going to yank them and get dentures (Although I hate that idea). And I guess I can buy some new clothes and look like a fool a little more often, I wish jeans and concert shirts would come back in style lol. But I refuse to cut what hair I have left. 
And this winter when work slows down i might even take some dance lessions, but weilding lessions would be so much smarter. LOL
And besides bars and church (neither of which I'm interested),where the hell do you meet single women? For me its just hit and miss in public. | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 7:55:42 PM | | Some people just don't know how to be social. They were not given the opportunity by their schoolmates, their collegemates, or their workmates, and now are blindly following their nose. It is a great mystery to some people how to become social. It is like standing outside a ballgame waiting to be called on to join a team. Dating is not something everyone can automatically pick up on as easy as a ballgame. Some need a helping hand. | |

Posted: 7/23/2006 8:59:04 PM | How about just not willing to settle for less than what you are looking for?
Too difficult?

Posted: 7/23/2006 9:01:41 PM | My problem is that men rarely approach me and most of the time the ones that do are totally not my cup of tea.
Also, pretty much all of the men I already know are married or have been with the same girlfriend for 100000 years. | |
