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.0
-
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:0

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.0
-
Because I'd rather be single than in a miserable relationship.0

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

^^ This, except mine added he wanted to sleep with other people0 -
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! 0
-
shy, lacking confidence, have no game or clue if a girl is into me.0

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.0 -
i think i friend the guys i really like then end up in the "friend" zone.0
-
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.0

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.0 -
I'm a Widower, had 23 years 10 months and 9 days of great marriage.0
-
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.0 -
Simple...I haven't yet met someone who's made me wanna stop being single. I'm accepting applications, however. 0
-
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.0
-
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.0

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!0
-
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..........0
-
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.
Also i am a shut in, basically i go to work come home or visit mom or grandma then the gym and then home. That is my daily schedule. I never go to clubs, bars anywhere

I could not have said this better to describe my situation! :drinker:Simple...I haven't yet met someone who's made me wanna stop being single. I'm accepting applications, however.0 -
All the guys I date turn out to be losers and/or crazies. I have yet to find a normal guy. :frown:0
-
Would rather be single it doesn't hurt right now. Not looking to get my heart ripped out again its just now stopped bleeding to death.0
-
Well lets see lol
1. I broke up with my BF of 5 yrs cause he was controlling belittling and just generally depressing. that was almost a year ago.
2. The guys I end up " seeing" I don't want to be in a relationship with lol.
3. Relationships are hard work and right now I don't know if I'm up to that again.
4. Batteries are cheaper than guys lol ( I have this horrible habit of ending up a sugar momma ):blushing:
Though on a plus note I have started dating again. So we will see if someone can help me decided to be in a relationship.0 -
I'm a widow (for over 11 years now, my husband died from a brain tumor), and I live in a VERY small town, and won't be moving any time soon (have three years until I can take teacher retirement, and then I'll see). Anyway, there are no single guys my age in either the town I live in or teach in that I'd be interested in dating, and at my age........ I spent the first 10 years after my husband's death concentrating on raising my daughter.
Anyway, not confident in the whole online thing......

Mostly from choice. I have chosen a job that allows me to travel and establish financial security for my daughter and myself. I'll be doing this for the next 5 - 9 years, then I might actually look to settle down. That is unless I lose my mind over someone in the mean time.0

I was married a little over 14 years. Like a few others above me I didn't want to live with his girlfriend so we divorced. It's been 4 years and in those 4 years I have managed to meet every crazy single man that lives in my town. So I'm happy on my own. When it happens it will happen. Right now it's all about me and my wonderful kiddos.0

Because there are a ton of crazy mother f*ckers out there....
And I'm too awesome to put up with a bunch of bulls*hit...0
