    When I was single (I've only been married 4 years and I am 41 so I was single for a while) the answer was this...

    I am picky and I intimidate most men in my small rural community.

    In my area "men" wanted to be "needed" and I didn't need a man in my life to make it complete.

    Great career, new car, my own money, bought a house on my own, great friends, large blahhed up family that I love dearly and my teenage son. I mowed my own lawn, tended my own garden, shovelled my own driveway etc. and to top it all off I made more money then most of them...that was usually the straw that broke the camels back...not that I told them that but they could tell as my car was newer and I had a house.

    I didn't need a man in my life...and men in my area couldn't deal.

    Then I found one who wasn't intimidated by all that...he was a decade younger and he's perfect for me.

    It's been great...

    Because we have been conditioned to believe that love and romance is just like it is in the movies.......I'm an old fashioned hopeless romantic....

    Dont believe in relationships... people are only out to benefit themselves... when something isnt benefiting them anymore they take off.

    AFRAID :/

    Single mama here guess just concentrating on my son not much time on my hands
    to get out there and meet people. Relationships are messed up either they like you and you don't like them
    or the other way around!! Yeah it get's lonely from time to time but I'd rather be alone and happy than with the wrong
    person and miserable! After the hell my ex put me through I refuse to settle for someone who doesn't think I
    am worthy!

    i want someone who wants to fall asleep with me not just sleep with me, who wants to wake up in each others arms
    not just leave in the middle of the night, who would share a cup of coffee watching the sunrise and a bottle of wine watching
    the sunset!! My emotions on this are very genuine to love and be loved is one of life's greatest gifts! I see old people holding
    hands and imagine what made it last, yet I see old people who can barely look at each other and think the very same thing!

    I don't believe in soul mates or that there is that 1 person out there ment for you but no matter how afraid I am of never finding it
    I have hope that somewhere it is still out there...somewhere just not here... just not yet!!!

    Short answer...because my fiancé (had been together 3 years) left me 2 months ago for a woman he met on farmersonly.com...seriously!!! Now im focusing on me and becoming who I want to be and how I want to look. Not even remotely interested in the dating scene right now.

    i would have bet he left you cause clearly Angel was the better choice of vampires with a soul :)

    Meeting single females is hard for me. The females I have met in recent years tend to be married or in a relationship (really can't think of anyone who was single). So it's bad luck, coupled with the geographic limitations of living in a suburban city (I have to drive 30 to 60 miles to get to "where the people go"). I don't really like the idea of meeting people at a bar or club, so maybe that's part of my problem. I tried the online dating thing for about 6 to 8 months, worked hard on my profile, messaged plenty of women, tried lots of different things - but never got a reply back let a lone a date. So bad luck strikes again. I'm a normal, well adjusted, educated individual which makes it a little frustrating. I just gotta be the best me I can be though and keep my head high. Maybe my luck will change. If it doesn't that's ok too. It's nothing to lose sleep over.

    I'm single because:

    - I keep telling myself that I will start dating again when I am slimmer. Been saying this for years.
    - I fear rejection because of my weight..
    - I'm looking for Mr Perfect who doesn't exist.
  • Bc I want to be with a lady that goes to the gym with our without me. For some reason I guess that's a lot to ask for. I don't have a problem meeting woman I just refuse to settle.

    I am shy and picky and don´t feel much attractive. So it´s hard to even get that close :sad:

    I'm single because:
    - I come off as intimidating
    - I want someone who will lift with me and follows a similar lifestyle (i.e. loves to workout and eats decently healthy)
    - I'm scared of rejection
    - I'm probably too picky
    - I don't want to settle

    I think I intimidate men. I am a very strong, opinionated woman and I don't take guff from people. Also, I am picky although I would let a few things slip if the right man came along. It is funny, but I dated a man that eventually dumped me. His reason baffled me. One month, I had a car accident and didn't call to tell him about it and that I was in a neck brace. When he found out, he went ballistic, saying, "How can I take care of you if you don't let me know when you are hurt?" So when I fractured some ribs the next month, I called him right away. Of course he didn't come and take care of me. So much for taking care of me when I am hurt. But the real kicker is he called me a week later and dumped me, saying "I need a strong woman." What?????

    His current girlfriend is high maintenance, very demanding, and needy. She also has the intelligence of a rock. Guess that is what is called a 'strong woman' these days. (sarcasm implied)

    I don't understand men. Maybe that's the problem.
