    Yes, they are out there. I seen them. Most of the time they are taken, too young, or married :ohwell: Won't stop me from looking. Also you know you been single for too long when a girl flirts with you and you are clueless/oblivious to the flirting. Happens to me all the time.

    I think it is because you are always surrounded by weeping angels. Get rid of them, and your time traveler will find your demension soon enough.

    Hahaha, I can relate with the last one so much. I think it specially happens to those of us who didn't really get much attention before.
    I was jogging some weeks ago and some guy started to talk with me and say nice things about how he saw me jogging almost everyday and what a cutie I was and blah blah yada yada... and I was looking around like "are you talking to me?" lol. I'm socially awkward on top of all.

    Don't you see my photo? I open my eyes wide to not blink. Weeping angels scare me too much... but that would explain a lot. Yes.
    Should I start making "bad wolf" grafittis? That would actually be a great idea to attract nerdy guys. Like a mating call for nerds.

    I know I have been single for too long when I realize that the only guys I am attracted to are the ones who are 10 years younger than me. Which equals the 10 years I have been single. So basically my taste in men hasn't changed and I am still stuck in being in my early 20's.. lol

    I thought you were going to say 14 and 15-year-olds. lol

    Might just add you know you've been single too long when:

    Your grandmother start asking when you will get married..
    People start questioning your sexuality..
    You slowly let yourself go..
    You see happy couples smile, then pour anther drink..
    You can't remember the last time you kissed someone and felt something
    Infact you can remember the last time you kissed anyone at all..

    sigh.. this clip always makes me giggle.

    You can be single too long....??!!

    Been single for 3 years (have 4 cats!!) also have holidays whenever and wherever I want, watch what I like on tv, eat what I want, go out when I want, don't have to pick up dirty socks from all over the house or make any compromises in my own home.

    Rules for life:

    1. Find a man you can talk to
    2. Find a man who makes you laugh
    3. Find a man who's fantastic in bed
    4. Find a man with a good job
    5. Then make sure none of these men ever meet each other!!! :wink:

    Bwahahahha

    Forever single here, would love to meet a decent guy who's in to the same stuff as me unfortunately asking too much of the boys of my age.

    There is hope for me yet!
    I would hang out with any of you!

    LOTR marathons, I'm currently just learning about Always Sunny in Philadelphia (on season 1), The Big Bang Theory, etc

    Never realized there were females out there that are just as awesome as me!

    We should have a huge nerd-side-of-the-force MFP meet up and speed dates. lol. I think a lot of couples would come out of that. :P

    I love the nerdiness of this thread. Although, that might be because I'm drawn to anything that mentions Firefly or Doctor Who.

    I've been single for a long time. Like you, I'm not everyone's cup of tea. Shaun of the Dead is the funniest movie EVER, and I'd rather cut off my right arm than miss an episode of The Walking Dead. But I'm no longer willing to compromise just to be with someone.

    Someone earlier mentioned how hanging out with couples is enough to keep me single. Totally agree. My married friends have kind of awful marriages, from where I'm sitting. I don't miss that.

    I go where I want to on vacation, eat what I want to for dinner, watch what I want to watch. Lonely? Sometimes. But I was lonely in my marriage, too.

    I agree with the rest but going alone on a vacation is a bad bad idea.Seeing couples all around is just heartwrenching..worst feeling ever!

    Depends on where you are and how you feel about that. I'm relatively recently seperated and soon to be divorced. I could go on a solo vacation TODAY and it would be without question awesome.

    I probably will later this summer in fact.
