Why are you single?

I'm not single just now, but before I got with my fiance I was single for 9 months (which since my first boyfriend, is the longest I've ever been single).
During that time I was trying to find myself. I had just split with my sons father after being cheated on, lied to and verbally abused. Before him I was with an abusive ex (the first), and between him and the previous ex, I kind of slagged around a bit.
This time, I decided I wasn't that person anymore and actually liked being single. I lost the majority of my weight, I got healthier, more confident and boosted my academics. I did see someone just before me and the fiance got together, but he was just another douche and I wasn't really interested.0 -

Just got out of a pretty long relationship. I'm happy to be single now. Really not looking to date anyone any time soon unless it happens out of the blue.

Fat. Ex left me because we were both fat but she lost here weight quicker and thought clubbing would be more fun than sticking around for me to lose mine. I can't fault the logic since it has been a real pain to lose it and I'm still not even done. In any event, being 290 and single is as tough a sell as being 235 and single. As much as women swear they're not shallow all you have to do is look at the types of men they're dating and it becomes pretty clear what they're really attracted to. Hint: it's not a sense of humor.0

Her loss....she will not be lucky enough to ever have anyone.like you again. As for women being shallow, I think just like men they have their mind set on what they want and won't "settle." Eventually you'll meet someone that wants you for you.
Congrats on the loss so far..keep it up. 0 -
I'm single because I'm not looking for all the commitment and titles. I'm living life and very happy so that's all that matters.. 0

After taking him back, he's unsure if he wants me or not... :mad:0

Because I would much rather spend my time and effort on myself rather than waste it on someone who I will inevitably hate the sight of 12 months down the track.
Who want's to share half of the bed/pillows/remote control anyway?0 -
Because my ex was an *kitten* and no one seems to want to be with a single mother. Plus I am shy around people I do not know.0
-
Self esteem issues, because I am over weight.0
-
because I am not prepared to settle..I can wait as long as it takes0

The idea of a relationship freaks me out. Here is to being single forever :ohwell:0

thats deep , hope this isnt how most women think ... certainly isnt how i thinkBecause I would much rather spend my time and effort on myself rather than waste it on someone who I will inevitably hate the sight of 12 months down the track.

I'm single because I want to be. I broke up with my ex about 6mo's ago. He's still in love with me and wants me back....heeeeellll no. He lies. He wastes his money on drugs. I don't want any part of that. A few guys have shown interest in dating me since then but I just haven't felt a connection worth pursuing. The entire POINT of dating is to find someone worth becoming exclusive with, and eventually getting married. That's literally the whole point. So if I can see tell tale signs that it will crash and burn at some point ("red flags") I try not to even waste my time. Being single and drama free tops being in a sub-par relationship any day.0

I am moving from CT to GA in the next six months so no point in starting a relationship!

technically I'm not single, I've finally found someone who is my sexual equal...lol. But I must say that I will never walk down the aisle again, even if he begs...which frankly I doubt he would. But, I was married for almost 6 years of pure torture. It took me 8 years of isolation before I even considered dating again. So no, I won't ever marry because I value who I am and I don't want anyone to have that kind of power over me again.0

good question...I wish I knew the answer0

Because I want to be. Why is being single viewed as bad? It certainly is by my friends husbands/partners etc. I'm not the rowdy one in a crowd, but I get the blame because "My wife/Girlfriend wouldn't do that when I'm around so it must be your influence." No, sorry guys, your wife/girlfriend would not do that with you around because it would upset your delicate ego and they don't want to hurt your feelings. They put up a front for you to feel safe and comfortable with, but are more honest when they are with me. Now have a good long look at your relationships and realise something is wrong if the honesty and trust is missing and leave me to be happy on my own, not settling for just one man permanently there. The only fixture in my life is my cat. I've been single around 17 years now and I've had a load of fun, some low moments, some great times, but I have friends to share them with. Just because I'm not part of a couple, doesn't make me desperate to hook up with someone. If it was going to happen it would happen, but if it doesn't I'm too busy to waste my time waiting for Mr Right. My old granny used to say I should never wait for a knight in shining armour to ride up on his charger to rescue me, because he'll end up wanting you to polish his armour and muck out the horse and look after things whilst he goes off to rescue someone else. Why the fixation with making people pair up. You can be alone and not be lonely, it's easy. And yes sometimes I go to restaurants alone and sometimes go on holiday alone. And FYI, yes I was married off, very young, as a teenager, but it didn't work out-far too young & both too stubborn to back down, so please end the stigma of choosing to be single, it's a very valid lifestyle choice, one I would heartily recommend.
For all you people who are in couples, don't feel sorry for us singles, we feel sorry for you, and the compromises you have to make and the sharing you have to do, and the secret thoughts of "is this it?" and "Have I just settled for something I didn't want because it's expected of me?"0 -
Because who needs a boyfriend when you can have cats.0

Heh, I have a king sized mattress and some nights I wake up completely perpendicular to the original position I laid in.0 -
Well, there was a divorce about 3 years ago, that pretty much settled the marital status deal. At my age, the dating pool is pretty shallow, let alone the marital pool. Having said that, I am enjoying the freedom after a 28 year marriage.0

Got out of a bad marriage a year and a half ago. Then just got out of a bad relationship. I need to get my head straight again, put myself first and foremost and love myself. Plus it's gonna take someone pretty amazing to make me want to change my mind about being single.0
-
Because my kids have my, and I work alot jus trying to get them settled & secured... They be time for me in the future...
:blushing:0 -
Because I'm afraid of openly being with someone, let alone someone I want.0
-
As all the men I have dated have been b*****ds, to put it bluntly. They usually turn out to be married or about to get married

Been there with my ex. Definitely not worth it. You can do so much better than someone who is unsure if they want you or not0 -
Better to be single than settle. Mostly. I mean relationships are work and I often feel like I just don't have time to juggle one more thing. But maybe I just haven't met the right person yet.0
-
Because I'm only attracted to guys who are self centred, immature, damaged and emotionally unavailable. Nice, functioning men need not apply.
OMG! I'm not the only one...don't worry luv, someday you'll meet one and either get tired of this douchebaggery or he'll decide you're worth putting out just a little more effort than usual...good god my life is flashing before my eyes.0 -
I am single because I won't settle...I have yet to find someone who allows me to be myself all the time.
Why is it so hard to find a guy that can handle me?
I am a gal who LOVES football and baseball, and likes to watch as many games a possible with a drink or 2, enjoys a night out with the girls, knows how to cook a gourmet meal, pays my own bills, has my own place, a good job, and knows what I want in life...
The last guy I was with actually told me I was TOO good...I looke at him like he had 3 heads...lol. We went to football games, comedy clubs, trivia night with his friends, whatever....
When he came home from work, he would have dinner made for him, I put on his favorite baseball team, had him watching the game while I cleaned up and did laundry... we would have a little sexy adult time and then I would go home...his friends (the girls and guys) thought he was nuts for breaking up with me. His ex-wife even liked me. His children adored me. I am still friends with his friends and they all try to set me up with people..they say "if Jeff wasn't smart enough to keep you..then someone else will be.".
Since him I have had nothing but BAD dates....some of you have heard about them. I could write a sitcom based on them, some of them seem so hard to believe...:laugh:
Anyway, being single isn't bad. I like who I am, have a good life, and I have no shortage of dates..if that right guy happens to come around, then it is meant to be, if not...you won't see me crying at home on a Saturday night because I am alone....you will find me with my friends..out enjoying this wonderful life...:drinker:0
