I'm more going with the flow. I have moments when I wish I was in a relationship... I don't mean those moments!... I mean when you fancy going on a trip or to explore or to train or just chill out and not do anything productive or just a kindred spirit to chat with. But other times, I cherish being single.
I feel a bit sad when it comes to Christmas and others are rushing around trying to buy that present for that special person, and also in summer, when I am sitting in a pub by the Thames with my friends and see a couple walking along the embankment holding hands.
One day, once more, I'll meet that special furry hippo.0 -
yup. i'd much rather enjoy my own company than jump into something with the wrong person!0

Had my heart broken, packed on the pounds even more. I need to get right with me before I even think about dating.0 -
Been single for 5 years...so yea tired of being single. But refuse to jump into something for the sake of being in a relationship. It's going to take someone pretty dang special to get me.0

I'm with Melissa. I've been single for 6 years and yes sort of sick of it but totally unwilling to settle. Some people say I'm too picky now. But I just think I've gotten to know myself really well and I know exactly what I can live with and what I can't live without.0

I think i'm single by choice...I don't mean that im not looking for love!!! ive watched far to many Disney films to not want to fall in love with prince charming and ride off on a pony (or a unicorn
) but i have turned friends of friends down ect, that seem great on paper but in real life its not quite been as sparky as id like
i think im picky but only cos i need to have the right kind of chemistry with a guy.....
then again once im size sexy there will be no stopping me :P0 -
By choice. I date, but no one has lived up to my expectations yet, and I wont date anyone too young or too old. Picky I suppose, but attraction is huge to me.0

I'm single by choice. I haven't met anyone to swoon me because I have dated several guys. I'm not happy with my weight right now. I know people are supposed to love you for who you are and all that. But I'm not loving my body right now and that's my focus. I rather re-gain my confidence first.0

No one really chooses to be single, do they?
..unless you're 007 or The Hulk and a danger to the people closest to you...0 -

You can. You meet a guy, you realise he is not your type. You'd rather be single than date him. You've just chosen to be single.0 -

Yep, I'm a danger to the people closest to me except for Betty Ross.0 -
I'm with Pamela...after being burned it makes you cautious. And it's good to have high expectations; nobody should settle. I see so many people nowadays settle and they are unhappy. I'd rather date who I want and hang out with people that make me happy.0

I just recently got out of a 7 year relationship...
I plan to be single for at least a year before I even CONSIDER giving anybody else a chance.
I havent really been single since i was 16, Ive always jumped relationships, its time for me to find myself!0 -
Single for over 3 years and until it feels right I will single for as long as it takes.
Life is good single but I do miss the sharing times.

By choice. With all of the stuff that is going on these days it's hard to trust people. Eventually that fear will dissipate, but until then, I'm content.0

Not single by choice and not really enjoying it too much.0

When my marriage ended, the rug was literally pulled out from under me. My whole world was turned upside down and I was left to raise a 1 year old daughter by myself. Eventually met someone else, dated for a long time, got engaged and ended it last year when I realized he was not the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. It took a long time to realize that he was just saying what he needed to keep me hanging on! So now I'm single by choice, but hope to find someone special.0

Tired of being single, but having no luck. Have tried dating sites, a matchmaking service, trying to get out and do things, and I've had no luck. It's not even that I'm meeting the wrong one (although I have met some of those through the matchmaking service) I'm not even meeting anyone.... just not sure what I'm doing wrong....0

I've dated a lot, but I just haven't found that one. However, I think I'm just enjoying being single right now. I really have no desire to have someone in my life right now. Sometimes, I get swept up into a situation, and I hate that. I think when I meet someone, I'll know and I'll want them in my life, rather than it being a chore or going out of my way to be with them. I'll just want to do it and it will be a higher priority than anything else. I wonder if I'll ever find anyone like that? She'd have to be pretty awesome.0
