    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 :(

    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.

    this too :(

    Simple...I haven't yet met someone who's made me wanna stop being single. I'm accepting applications, however. :)
    I could not have said this better to describe my situation! :drinker:

    All the guys I date turn out to be losers and/or crazies. I have yet to find a normal guy. :frown:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    16 years for me....but same scenerio. She can have him. I've also realized how much happier I am now that I can be myself again instead of what he wanted me to be!! I have a voice and I'm not afraid to use it :happy:

    because I'm obviously a freak of nature

    1 boyfriend - 5 year stint - senior year through college

    single ever since -- no dates since then either -- so, like I said - obviously a freak of nature

    9 years for me....but same thing. Hubby decided he wanted to play with other women so I showed him the door. Like you, I'm happy I can be myself again. I'm enjoying being single.

    I guess I just haven't found the one yet. I've been in my share of relationships, but they've all ended in heartbreak not happily ever after.

    not to sound self-councious but Im not really pretty and Im fat... the last guy just wanted a hook-up and the guy before that was a creep. Not to mention finding guys at a bar never works

    I wasted most of my 30's on the wrong guy...now I think I'm really wary and not ready to trust anyone.

    I just got out of a 10 year marriage... He was unfaithful although I tried to make it work but you can't make a relationship work all by yourself. I finally accepted that and it liberated me.

    I am trying to make it a point to stay single for a while and just work on myself and be okay with ME... although, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I have been alone for a long time.. even married I was alone... dating makes me want to have that closeness with someone again. So if I should meet someone, I'd go for it.
    Right now, the only guy I was interested in THAT way, put me in the friend zone. Meh. I don't click with many as I'm a bit eccentric... so when I find someone I click with, it's explosive. His loss.

    I don't have much of a social life (blame location!) and my workplace is overwhelmingly older females, so the dating pool is slim! Also, I've had relationships end because I'm a bit too headstrong and assertive for some.
