    I am single because I am too busy. Most of the time I don't even think about it, but sometimes the loneliness does hit. Oh well, at this point I'm not willing to give up everything I'm doing, so generally I am ok with being single :drinker:

    I have a lot of this going on. Plus, my nomadic nature doesn't help. I get lonely a lot, but I've dealt with it so long that I'm just used to it at this point. Probably not a good way to look at life, but oh well.

    Oh, I am most definitely the problem. Any girl willing to put up with my lifestyle would have to be crazy, and I'm not interested in putting up with a crazy girl.

    I've just recently broke up with my ex and I blame both of us, we were to passionate to back down and we didn't compromise enough.

    personally, I think I am an excellent partner, I treat my lady well, I am an old fashioned romantic and loyal. I just think its all about how you suit the other person, you can have an amazing chemistry and still not work (that happened to me)

    working together to balance the relationship is the key in my opinion

    (: I think I do that a little too often haha. I'm "picky" according to my family and friends. I just know that when I meet the right guy it'll all click.

    There is nothing wrong with been picky, I was picky and although she isn't the one :( I was patient and I was with a girl who I really liked, clicked and fell in love with, some people just want love to much to the point they have many relationships with people and lack the love they desire.

    so I think your ok to be choosey, obviously everyone has their flaws but when the right person comes along, the flaws will go out the window :)

    Unfortunately I do know that I am the reason I'm single. It has to do with my fluffyness.
    ......

    The sad part is that I will try my entire life to lose the weight, and I'll be without a significant other for that duration (
    .....

    It just sucks that weight is that high on the list of priorities now. So when people say it's the journey and your health that matters, I say they are wrong. Results are the only thing that matters. :sad:

    Ladies, I know this is an old post but I want to reassure you that fluffiness does NOT mean you'll never find love. In fact, it just may help you weed out the wrong guys. Does it make a difference in the quantity of guys you attract, sure yes!! But does it make a difference in *quality*?? well, that depends on the kind of guy you like. If you like a super fit guy, well then yeah it matters. If you want someone with a big heart then it might not matter as much.

    What matters most is your CONFIDENCE about who you are and what you are doing.

    Ok so you're not perfect. who is?? Even people who look perfect can need work on the inside. If you're doing something about your size and health then you can hold your head up and be CONFIDENT.

    CONFIDENCE is the most attractive thing a woman can wear.

    Oh, and I spent most of my life in a relationship where I was told how heavy and unattractive I was. NOW I am in a relationship where my man thinks I'm so gorgeous that it took me over a year to really believe him!! And I'm HEAVIER now than I've EVER been in my life (except pregnancy).


    It's worth waiting for the one who think you are gorgeous just the way you are. And then honor him (or the future him if he's not in your life yet) but every day putting your best foot forward.

    I'm single because I'm a commitment phobe. It took me a while to figure it out, but any time I start liking someone I immediately started thinking about how busy I am and how I don't know where I'm going to end up and how I don't want to lose out on any opportunities because I want to stick around for a partner... So I sabotage anything that threatens to get real. I'll grow out of it or not. I'm certainly not unhappy or lonely or anything, so there's no desire for me to feel the need to "fix" anything.
