    Because marriage is for two people, not three.

    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.

    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 =]

    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'.
  • 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..

    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!

    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.

    Just withdrawn; a bit of an introvert. Not too trusting of everyone. I guess I watch too much television. LOL

    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*.

    me neither honey. There is nothing wrong with that. Some people are not into the club scene. I hate it, I would rather spend one on one time watching a movie on the couch together and baking a frozen pizza. he he

    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:

    story of my life honey you are not alone!
