just what the question asks. if you had to come up with a reason (and i understand it's complex), why are you single?

    Well, that's an easy one for me. Ex decided he was tired of working on the marriage and "couldn't do it anymore". So he filed for divorce.

    The people I want to date don't want to date me and I don't want to date the people who want to date me. I'm also very fat and very picky. If I could change one of those things, dating would probably be a lot easier for me :ohwell:

    I was married for 15 years. I was tired of the silent treatment and name calling and he didn't want to try to change until I left.

    Because I'd rather be single than in a miserable relationship.

    I have always felt very independant, want to focus on school and finding a great career when i graduate, i really dont think i would have time for a boyfriend now. Although it would be nice, especially with valentines day around the corner lol :)

    Too much to type --___-- but it's best that I'm not in that relationship anymore and don't ever want a similar experience again. Btw that was my first and only relationship so Im really new at this "single as an adult" thing :/

    I tend to only attract inappropriate guys :/ I don't know what kind of vibe/impression I give off, but in the last two years I've had nothing but rotten luck!

    shy, lacking confidence, have no game or clue if a girl is into me.

    Life`s circumstances.
    Father was almost 60 when I was born and mom was legally blind from birth and then voiceless from throat cancer when I was 21 in the spring of 1986.
    They couldn`t take care of themselves beyond the basics.
    Add in an old crumbling farmhouse in which I was the only income and that pretty well sums it up,no one would have wanted to walk into that.

    I have absolutely no clue about guys. Any guy that I have liked, has run at light speed or faster to get away once they've found out I like them. So I stopped trying.

    Hummm. Many different reasons :
    I had plans that didn't included having a SO. I knew I wanted to be a surrogate mother and didn't want anyone telling me I could not do it.
    I had a short term relationship and I also got pregnant (oups) so I gave all my energy into my kid since I was a single mom from the start.
    It is easier for me to not know if I am good enought to be loved (call it my mommy issus)
    Men that are attracted to me are not attractive to me.
    I am just plain scared....being single is more comfortable for me.

    I work strange hours and never go anywhere to meet anyone.:grumble:
    I usually attract guys that want to be taken care of and I don't want to date a grown child. :huh:
    I lack the confidence to start conversations with guys I find attractive. :embarassed:

    Simple...I haven't yet met someone who's made me wanna stop being single. I'm accepting applications, however. :)

    A long time ago I probably would've said because I was fat and ugly. But now I guess my only excuse is my intense shyness, lack of friends(IRL) and other poor social skills that I need to work on.

    Like others have said, because I'm attracted to those that aren't attracted to me. I also tend to keep people at a distance. Oh, and all men put me in the "friend" zone.

    Was married for 15 years then my husband decided to get a girlfriend. 3 is a crowd in a marriage! So going through a divorce, but I am actually so much happier! Go figure, he did me a favor!

    Was married for 8 years, and then ex (now) decided he was "not happy" anymore and wanted out. Add to that his girlfriend..........and that leaves me single. Didn't think I would ever be "dating" again.........ugh! it is NOT easy..........
