Maybe you are shy, introverted, suffer depression, low self esteem, or simply are scared. The list is endless of things we feel or are that keep us from forming a healthy and lasting bond with a partner in life. If you had to share the one thing that you know is keeping you hung up and single, what would it be?

In the years I have been single I have yet to meet one man who interested me that wanted me for any kind of relationship. I have met men that really interested me, and have met men who were interested in me...but not a mutual thing.

There's a reason I'm single but I'm not posting it...I don't think all of POF needs to know. And no, it's not cause I'm "picky", it's a medical thing (NOT an STD)

More stolen threads....heh!

I Honestly don't know....maybe its my location...or the fact I hardly go out anymore...or I'm not on the top of the food chain for women. Maybe it's all of it combined. *Shrugs*

Personaly, I am shy and introverted but sometimes I am the opposite. I don't have a problem with esteem but I am scared and being single is depressing. Its seems next to impossible to identify any one thing that causes one not to be able to find a life long partner. I would say its just a matter of being in the right place at the right time with the right attitude and mood.

honestly, my shyness does make it harder to take the necessary steps (and sometimes T.O. weomen can be a little, uh, cold'shoulderish, to men they meet in bars). I'm generally really good with a woman once I get to trust her, but am not myself with total strangers or somebody I haven't made a connection with. I have to be myself to do well and that isn't always as easy as it sounds.

a fear that someone will discover who I am before I do
or a fear that they will figure out I am a fake
or a fear that someone will make me feel worthy
or a fear to succeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's it!
Great book out there for all you people who read that and Identified with it..."Feel the fear and do it ANYWAY" !
Good Luck

The number one thing keeping me single, is the fact I brush my teeth with my right hand... The second thing is I have a pottie picture collection... The thrid thing is I eat Goose poop... Fourth-I have a goo edumacation... Fifth-I am a dancing machine, but they keep kicking me out of the laund-ro-mat... Sixth-I can never find my remote... seventh-I pick up my date in a radio flyer... Eighth-I chew my fart bubbles in the bath... Ninth-I pee in your pool.. And the tenth reason I am single-I am the founder of the Top Secret Ninja Kick Society...

I honestly think I am single because I am 'too' nice...I haven't found a hard edge yet...go figure that one...my ex tells me I am the nicest woman he has ever known...don't know why that doesn't give me any comfort.
It just seems that men are drawn to the more caustic..and sure of herself kind of woman..
But at this stage of my life...I don't think I can change..so I likely will remain single...maybe I will meet some nice man in the nursing home!

I don't feel its right for me to get into a relationship right now and not be able to get 100% to the person. i work 2 jobs in winter and 3 in the summer... i hardly have time for me let alone someone right now so until things settle down and I can put 100% in. I am single

Just one?

1) Fear of being hurt again
2) Fear of being *IN* a relationship again
3) Not feeling good enough for anyone
4) Working too much and being too dedicated to my work
5) Not having the 'guts' to meet some new people (attend POF functions etc)
6) Freezing up around the men I DO meet and looking like an idiot

Sooo more than one....but that pretty much sums it up...

Wow, I think this is a really good question!

I have a couple of different things keeping me single..

1. I only meet dumbasses
2. I'm not into dumbasses
3. As soon as I think someone likes me I bail on them
4. Intense fear of committment
5. I can't find anyone that I would feel comfortable introducing to my friends. Wierd. This is where the dumbass thing comes into play again.

Oh boy... I wonder if someone else could answer this for me? Not really sure why I'm single! This reminds me of a conversation I had with a "friend" the other night... What was it, wondering if I'm loveable? ha! Ah hell...
