I have been super busy with work and school, and got dumped 4 months before I was supposed to get married. I've taken the last year to focus on me and getting back to normal.0

Too busy running!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.
The last 3 are me to a tee! I just haven't found the right person yet =]0 -
I've been divorced for about 5.5 yrs. I've had 2 relationships since (1 yr and a 3 yr). But I want something substantial and worth putting in the work to last the rest of my lifetime. I don't want to settle anymore for the sake of saying I'm not single. I took some time off to really get to know ME and what I really want. Now I'm ready but being patient for the right man for 'ME'.0

Why am I single?? well I was married for 11 yrs and she had 3 kids that we were trying to raise together, at first it was working but something happened down the road where it just started to get out of control and things went from good to bad over night with our relationship and parenting ideas. We divorced about 3 1/2 years ago and I haven't found anyone that I click with I guess you could say. I'm a fairly big guy so I think I scare a lot of women away, but if they would just give me the time of day they would find that I'm really a nice guy.
Oh the other thing that I have found is that I'm 46 and I'm a grandpa, for some reason that freaks people out.. So until I meet that soul mate it's just me hanging out with my grandson and daughter who live with me for now..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...
OMG! Totally amazing! Of course, this also applies to me

In past years, was because my life and my opinion of myself got in the way.
But after alot of "work" both mentally and physically, I feel like its a new day and a new me! Still have goals to accomplish on the outside, but the inside is SO much happier and healthier.
Looking forward to seeing what (or who??) is in store for me. :bigsmile:
^^^^^^This and the other reason is that I seem to attract women who like to boil rabbits in large pots!0 -
....because I deserve the very best life has to offer and I have yet to meet mr. wonderful :-D0

I was in love once....and then he went off his meds.
Well it was a very rough relationship that lasted for around 4-5 years off and on. We were engaged. He scared me because the man I knew for 2 years suddenly changed on me, he became a very dark and perverted man. The man I fell in love with was so sweet, and humble and romantic, it was almost cheesy. After graduating high school, he went off his meds. He became sort of bipolar, and very perverted, and sometimes his temper scared me. I still stuck by his side, thinking it would pass only it got worse. He had moved in with me, under my moms advice because she saw what I didnt, we wouldn't get along. We fought constantly over dumb things, and once he hit me in the ribs over a dumb video game. We shared a computer. I knew he had a porn addiction, I'd tried to help him with it, but one day I turned on the computer and there was a disk inside and it automatically started to play. I won't tell you what I saw but it involved a toddler girl. I kicked him out and said if he got help he could come back, he didn't. A year or two later I contacted him, I was worried about him, we became friends and I saw his ways had not changed and every time he got a new fling, he'd pick a fight with me and cuss me out. I am guessing to have an excuse not to talk to me, then when they broke up he'd message me like nothing happened. Last time he cussed out my mom and that is a no no so his butt is gone forever. For many years, I was afraid to date. In the last couple of years I have been bery lonely and sought a partner but no one wants me, so I am hoping that losing weight will attract a guy.0 -
Just withdrawn; a bit of an introvert. Not too trusting of everyone. I guess I watch too much television. LOL0

Mine is probably a combination of being on the road most of the time for my job, shyness, and some self image issues concerning my birthmark. I'm also a picky little *kitten*.0

The war in Afghanistan. I lost my boyfriend to it.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:

Ahhh Zilla.... that's how I felt for many many years...
Why I'm single? ... well, not by choice... mutual break up 2 months ago... both wanted more, but both not willing to settle.
Sooooo, single on Valentine's day.0 -

Uh-oh... I'm 36 and going to be a grandma anyday... that's going to freak some people out I'm sure

Haven't ever had the courage to openly tell the girl that I liked her for fear of rejection or ruining a friendship. Been a big guy all my life and this has weighed heavily on my mind always, my own worst critic. On the brighter side of this with hard work and determination that excuse will fly out the window.0

Marriage of 12 years ended in divorce.
I go out occasionally but rarely with the intent to meet someone.
I have high expectations about being treated as an equal and my career being respected as equally important to his.
I think it's reasonable to expect intelligent conversation and mutual interests in a relationship, and I haven't found that yet.0 -
I'm single for lots of reasons really. Like not really going out that much, not being attractive, insecurities, etc. I haven't had real crush on anyone for ages. And if I do, that person is usually way out of my league, so it's kind of safe to have crush No worries that anything would happen.
Also one of the reasons is that I am very independent and I need my time and space. I might never settle and definitely am not a housewife type. Or girlfriend type. Haha
Plus it has been bit too rough few months, so I need to take time to get back on my feet.
Luckily I have amazing friends who keep me going 0 -
Oh snap, wrong room.0

I am single because... I'm shy?0

my daughters dad cheated on me so I filed for divorce. Most guys don't want to date a single mom
I have dated a single mother of two before and it was nice and the kids started to call me daddy and then she kicked me out of her life all because i started to get called daddy by her two kids...so i just quit looking for women to date and let things happen in time0 -
Married for 21 years, it's taken me a long time to get to the point where I am completely happy with the life I have made for myself and my kids and with being alone. I believe this is an essential pre-requisite for making healthy relationship choices. I've always done demanding work, so time is a factor too. I find dating as a single parent quite challenging.. It would take someone very special to tempt me back into a long term relationship. I came close once, but the timing was wrong. One day I'll get lucky, but until then I'm happy to bide my time.0

It suits me best.0

just what the question asks. if you had to come up with a reason (and i understand it's complex), why are you single?
Nobody's interested!
