    I'm single because:

    *I just recently became single in May.

    *I am picky, and I refuse to settle. Again.



    I am not a dater either really. I'm a relationship type person and do not even make it to a first date if I don't feel the vibes. First dates usually turn into second and third dates for me, but after that, if I don't see a future, I'm out.

    A few reasons

    I find it hard to let people in emotionally.
    I have trust issues.
    I don't meet anyone, because i never go out.
    I have no gaydar, so i never try to talk to guys in fear they might get offended plus the whole rejection thing.

    There could possibly be more reasons.

    I've spent years working on improving myself to the point of feeling like I can be a part of a healthy relationship. Finally, I love where I am at in life and mostly feel comfortable in my own skin. I am heavily invested in my career, which takes up a lot of my time, and I honestly don't really meet new people that often.

    My standards have risen, also - mostly around wanting someone who is not a crazy-a** b****. Bummer.

    So where is the drop-dead gorgeous international model from Russia with two PhDs who loves dogs and can knock a mofo out with a left hook?

    Edit: [single for over 5 years!]

    I stopped looking. Contrary to popular belief, that does not cause Mr. Right to ride up on his white horse.

    LOL, same here!

    Because I want to love myself completely and be a catch for him too. It is a partnership, after all. I want us as a couple to be able to run the freaking world on sheer awesomeness :-)

    I'm not into the dating aspect so it seems to never go anywhere

    And

    I seriously believe for whatever reason I am not approachable. If a guy tries to talk to me, it's always the usual perv talk, staring at me, bluntly saying disrespectful comments about how I look, etc. I have never been approached by a guy who has the decency to at least say "Hello, how are you?" followed by a decent conversation before asking me out for coffee/tea/dinner or something.

    And

    I think Im jinxed...

    This is something that I've thought over for a long time. I used to blame everyone else...the "guys don't accept me" and "I'm not pretty" mumbo jumbo that we've all thought at one time or another. Then I realized that, aside from some issues with an ex, I really was not comfortable in my own skin. And I think that came across when I would meet guys. It took me a good 7 years to accept that and build myself back up from all the years I tore myself down. I dipped my toes back in the water last year and realized I wasn't quite ready to be in a relationship. I'm still getting over the "unknown" factors, but I'm dealing with them as they come up.

    I'm single because I'm unwilling to put myself out there. I've learned that perhaps, for now, I'm just not ready or willing to do what it takes to be successful in a relationship...maybe SOME day and hopefully Mr.Right won't give up on me, haha...

    I can't bring myself to be interested enough in strangers on the internet. My cats are way more interesting.

    Because I am having a particularly drawn out bought of anxiety. I prefer to keep my current socialization's to people that I'm already VERY comfortable with or just spend more time reading/playing video games/fitness focuses.

    Most of the people that I am in love with are fictional characters.

    I am a character of extremes.

    I know what I'm looking for.

    The list goes on.

    I'm single because I haven't found "EPIC" yet.

    I've met plenty of guys that would take me off the market, but I want to find that "one". Some days I feel like I might have found it....

    I'd say for me, it's all of the above (except for the gaydar thing :laugh: ) and the fact that I'm still in the process of trying to love myself. Not quite there yet, but I do like myself more, so at least I'm heading in the right direction.

    I'm honestly only dating now so that when the timing and person IS right, I will have gotten most of the crap experiences out of my way and will be able to distinguish the good from the bad.

    I'm single because I'm always right. I talk to myself because I’m the only one whose answers I accept.

    I guess that's why my other reasons weren't internet specific were they? ;)

    I'm single because I don't have time for a boyfriend.

    Or the emotional capacity. I'm still learning to love myself, I can't do that and try to give my all to another person.
