| If you're single and not dating, what's your reason?
Posted: 5/27/2009 7:02:16 PM | I've been single for about 18 months and I've had about three dates in that time. I am self-employed with two different businesses and with this struggling economy, I have been working 12+ hour days with few days off. It is really, really hard for me to meet people as I am really not into the bar scene. I would like to be able to donate my time to a local charity, but even working out a viable schedule along those lines as been difficult.
My last date was nine months ago and -- yes -- I am getting a little tired of being alone all the time. | |

Posted: 5/27/2009 10:54:00 PM | Not a whine or rant; just a reply to why not dating: No one has contacted me here, and no interest has been shown by those I've e-mailed, though I put a great deal of time and effort into my individualized contact messages.
I'm a member of a couple of organizations, and though I get enthusiastic hugs when I walk in, they're pretty well all couples.
I've been figuratively scratching my head and wondering what else I can do. I don't drink, so the bar scene is definitely out, and I'm not a party type.
I've been wondering if maybe I should hang around a marina and eventually help someone get his boat shipshape -- maybe strike up a friendship that way and see if it leads somewhere. Seems like a long shot, but at minimum I'd get exercise out of working on a boat and the fellow would get some free labour.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to hear them. | |

But this was the first year that I actively started looking for dates, so far I have been on two. So hopefully there will be more. | |

I am enjoying the single life too much. I'm about to move and need to focus on getting all that in order. I have too much on my plate at the moment to have to bother setting aside time for a guy. | |

Posted: 5/29/2009 12:13:44 PM | I'm sick and tired of dating (especially when it comes to dating 20-25 year old men). I've done enough of it, and I don't really care to "date" anymore just for fun times.
All I really need is friendship and possibly something more long-term. Nonetheless, relationships take A LOT of work (I just recently got out of a two-year relationship nearly three months ago) and I'm not just going to settle. The next relationship I get into, I'm going to do it because I truly FEEL that he and I could have some sort of "future" together--not because I think he's cute, because I'm in total infatuation, or because I just feel I "need" a boyfriend.
Like I said, I'm not going to settle. I may be a bit picky when it comes to men, but that's fine--it weeds out the scum. | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 5:01:16 PM | The only two replies that I have received on this site have been bait-and-switch acts (message me, act all interested for a week or so, then vanish w/o explanation), two psychos, and a bunch of read/deletes. My luck on other dating sites has been even worse.
Real life has been about as lucky for me as has the Internet.
I would have just given the hell up quite a while ago; but even though I enjoy myself and my own company, I do want a partner in life.   | |

Posted: 9/4/2009 7:21:28 PM | Good question!! hahaha
My standards are too high for those who begin to talk with me, and I am too low for those I try to talk with!!
easy and aggravating enough. I don't want to lower mine and they don't want to lower theirs, its a stalemate dating scene. | |

Posted: 9/5/2009 12:23:44 PM | Perhaps the reason a lot of us aren't dating is because people make judgements on us based on a few photos and words on paper without taking the opportunity to find out what we really look like and who we are. I met someone on here--we both took a long shot and while it was not romantic--we have become great friends and he is better looking in person than his photos and his photos are pretty darn good.
Just saying....
cause I know there are not any shallow, judgemental people on these sites..... | |
