    Short answer: Because I'm not the easiest person to get along with and I don't want to settle.

    I'm picky and I am not financially independent. I want to learn how to cook and have my own place before I get a girlfriend. I use to always wonder what's wrong with me and why i never had a girlfriend.

    But I realize that I should learn to be happy about myself first, before i take a step and let someone into my world. It wouldn't be fair for the girl if she was stuck with someone who asks mom for money all the time and doesn't really know how to cook that well. I have to finish school with good grades and learn to improve my character. So I'll be seeing more lonely weekends, but I'll gladly use that time to achieve my other goals in life.

    ^^^^THIS. You sir, are a hero to me !

    Couple of reasons..
    I got out of a 3 year relationship just a few months ago, and well he set the bar pretty high
    I have no desire to be in a relationship which is less than perfect
    Im happy as i am for now, I can do what I want when I want, no commitments to anyone, no needing to ask if its OK to go do something (not that i had to ask as such but now i can just get up and go and wont have anyone wondering where i am).

    Though I did realise last night I am now the only single girl in the group now :|

    Just broke up this weekend... First bf I've had in a long time, and he was a good one, but too much baggage.
    Oh, the ice cream I have consumed this weekend...

    I'm single because I still don't see myself to be married yet. I still have some dreams and goals that I haven't achieved. And besides, I'm not in a hurry. But as of now, I don't have any plans to get married.

    Being single is fun (as of now). I am freely whatever I want to do.

    Because I like doing my own thing and refuse to settle into a relationship unless I am actually passionate about the person.

    because the relationship hit the end of the road.

    Staying single for a while because the thought of getting back on the horse weirds me out. :noway:

    I stayed single for a year and a half and enjoyed it. Yes I loved being in a relationship but being single is also good for the soul. It is where you learn who you really are as a person.

    I spend the majority of my time working, focusing on my career. I'm concerned I'd put my work before someone else, so I just avoid the situation altogether.

    I don't want a relationship going into college... High school relationships hardly ever last in college. Plus, I just wanna have fun next year;)

    Because I've not met anyone worth not being single for for a while, and I'm just not prepared to settle.

    I'm 33, and always pictured myself having kids much younger than this, but there is still plenty of time.

    I've been single about two years, and am definitely ready to settle down, but not until she comes along......

    Because I'm to afraid of getting into another bad situation again.

    18 years of mental abuse followed by 18 months of mental and financial abuse. I won't do it again, chances are next one will be Physically abusive and I now know I'm worth more than that.

    Besides I have a defense wall so high no one can get through, just in case they do I've dug a moat filled with bloody thirsty dribbling dragons and then for extra protection, I've added 100lbs of blubber as a cushion.:cry:

    I've been single since my divorce. Not even been on a date and I find it hard to meet new people. Being an introvert and feeling fat and ugly makes life a little difficult sometimes. I am working on the feeling fat and ugly part - the introvert bit is harder.

    Wow, wasn't expecting to read such honest answers when I opened this thread. I'm like many of you; single mom, going to school, working full-time, etc................

    The bottom line? Too busy and probably too picky. That said, it is such a good idea to get to know who you are and what makes you tick before dating. Really bummed to read that so many people don't love themselves or have put themselves in an emotional box. Labels are confining and the one thing I've learned to appreciate about being single is the ability to work on my issues and CHANGE how I feel and what I think and how I act.

    The desire to be in a fulfilling relationship (I believe) is God given and not something to be ashamed of wanting. But, there are worse things than being single......

    “Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained”-C.S. Lewis

    Until I find someone that I respect, admire, and truly wish them well whether we are together or not, I'll probably stay single.

    Because my ex split up with me. Nearly been a year and struggling to get over her still, mainly cos I see her every week and am trying to build a strong friendship with her.

    She doesn't have the same problem though, its just me who needs to move on, easier said than done but want her to be happy so have to accept she will find that with someone else, and I honestly hope she does. But aside from that I have no confidence or self esteem, so see no reason for anyone to be interested.

    also have close friends who are women that I spend a lot of time with, so that if people see us out they probably think that we are together.

    Because frankly, I don't care.

    I see no real point dating someone just to say that I have someone... to me thats stupid.

    I'd much rather rock the single life, doing what I want, when I want, instead of having to worry about another person and their feelings/plans/etc.
