Why are you single?

  • I'm too picky I guess... if I don't see a real future with a girl I've been dating (usually around 2-3 months into the relationship I figured this out from SEVERAL previous ones) that I will break up with them as to save us both time and anguish in the long run.
  • because I'm freshly divorcing, but I've been the single married girl for awhile... good times. During my not so amazing marriage, I realized my self worth was worth way more than I gave myself credit for, so the next guy is going to have to be pretty amazing.

    Congrats on making a healthy decision!

    because my self-esteem is below zero... and until I can love myself I cannot love anyone else. pretty simple. Its been that way for 5 years and it probably wont change any time soon. I have come to terms with becoming the crazy old lady on the corner.

    Men(or women if you're a dude reading this)

    Men are like parking spots. The good ones are taken- the rest are handicap! :)

    I'm not taken nor handicapped

    Thanks! I guess I realized this during my year and a half of training.... Competing gave me back the confidence he tried to take away. No more!

    By the way, picky is good, because you should never settle. Not sure what kind of guy you are regarding personality, but you are young and good looking.

    No confidence. I can't really talk around girls I find attractive either. Sucks.
  • It's more fun, more relaxing and heaps more flirting. Also, I spend all day at the gym so the guy would have to come second ;P

    Cause meeting attractive girls in this city is hard. Very hard. I'm too shy, unless I'm extremely intoxicated.
    you are in SF... Girls in SF are looking for Str8 / Bi men who can make them happy it shouldn't be that hard to find one as there is not that much Male competition! unless you were gay then that would be hard too many options and too much competition.

    That is true. The straight male competition here is weak, especially compared to down south. I almost feel sorry for the girls here.

    See now get out there and find someone worthy or at least some action! Maybe a shirt that says "I'm Str8" would help LOL they won't be able to resist it.
  • Because I'm tired of being lied to/ treated like crap/ cheated on/ etc. Just easier to do my own thing these days.
    me too.

    Damn lots of good responses.

    I'm from a really small town so I'm pretty shy/awkward around girls. I don't put myself out there either. Wish I was more outgoing!

    @WillyC - If you feel you are ready and would like to be in a relationship and you are shy..the best advice I got ... and this is from a guy friend that is kind of a douche player (nice, but even he admits to it)...is....

    Just own your *kitten*! Good or bad - it's you and if someone can't deal with it then move on because there is someone out there that will accept you and like it.

    Of course, applying that advice is totally different from hearing it, but if that helps...than Yay!!!!

    That's really good advice.

    Honest answer without details: Because my confidence is weak and I don't really know what I deserve...

    Because between work, and the gym, I have very little time left over. So I have not met any single women locally. And long distance relationships don't work.

    I was cheated on and dumped for the other girl. It was a three year relationship and it ended 3-months ago (roughly). I have recovered surprisingly quickly, as I'm ready to get back out there and start slow with dating again. I have a few crushes, but so far no one I've met out has shown an interest other than sleeping with me.. or those who have asked me out on dates have asked me out before I was ready or I am not really interested in them.

    Here's hoping!
  • I totally agree with you sister, but I've been saying that for 35 years. Hmmm.

    Because I'm selective about who I spend my time with. Time is our most valuable commodity, don't waste it on someone that isn't worth you time. I spent too much time trying to make a doomed relationship work, so I have applied my life lessons and know what I want/don't want in a partner now.

    Do I want to find love and be in a relationship? Sure! But she's going to have to be a pretty amazing woman to change my relationship status, because I have found happiness and love my life. She will have likely learned similar life lessons herself.
  • Because my disability scares men off, I´m fat and those few men I have dated have destroyed it for me, I´m very scared of men.

    i'll go with the no confidence thing

    plus i almost never meet someone new that i'm interested in.

    I guess thats a bit of a cop-out because i'll probably pass by someone on the street on a daily basis that i'm attracted to, but not normally do i actually meet someone new in a setting that i'm likely to see them again.

    so i guess if i really had game then i'd be fine lol

    i live in a tiny town....im average looking......and i dont go out cause all my friends are married.....im stuck in an endless cycle of singleness
  • Because I'm a pathetic 32 with absolutely NO clue how to flirt or act around guys that I feel attracted to. Plus, I think I need to lower my standard because I'm attracted to attractive guys that usually aren't attracted to me. :(

    uh, you're not average looking, unless you're just really photogenic.... I'm just saying.
