How long is too long to be single?

[cth2188]

At what point does one give up on the ideal of finding love?

[HollyK21]

I don’t think “too long” is really a thing, because there are people who have been single for even over a decade and totally content. I wouldn’t say to give up, especially if you’ve been single for a while and losing hope. For all you know this could be the universe trying to show that it’s not quite your time for a relationship, to which I’d advise you look inward. Like have you healed from past trauma? Any goals you want to work towards that’s better done as a single person so you can prioritize better? Things like that. A relationship will come at the right time, I firmly believe.

I’ve been single most of my life

[HollyK21]

Hey don’t let that get you down. Before I met my current partner some time ago I spent a lot of my 20s single, but mostly by choice bc I kept my standards high and wasn’t meeting someone who aligned with what I sought in a guy. It’s ok to be single, and it’s a really good time to work on yourself, even when you feel like you’ve done the work there’s always more. We are a constant work in progress and flawed human beings.

No commitment or serious relationship yet - I am tired of waiting around on someone sorry

[HollyK21]

Don’t be sorry. If that’s how you’re feeling then I understand.

I’m pass this and dating has become harder since Covid

[HollyK21]

Luckily Covid restrictions (at least in most cities) are lifted now, so maybe you’ll have more opportunity to date.

[cth2188]

I wouldn’t date anyone vaxxed nor non pagan as I’m pagan

[cth2188]

This making my dating pool small

[HollyK21]

Pagan is like Wiccan right? If you ever decided to start dating again you could always google some online dating sites. If not that then maybe take a trip someday to a convention, town, etc specifically geared towards your pool. You’d be able to meet people, make some friends who have single friends/relatives/etc.

[cth2188]

I’m already in Wiccan pagan groups doesn’t mean everyone is unvaccinated however

[HollyK21]

You could always ask about it if you meet someone you like, but if you don’t want to date right now then I guess that doesn’t even matter lol

[cth2188]

I’m going to make any mates get tested std tested all kinds of stuff is coming out about these vaccines

[cth2188]

It’s best vaccinated people move along dating me

[sheikalana]

at some point in my life I was single for over two years.

[Truthatanycost]

Clearly you are not at peace with giving up on dating / love.

The issue with the testing you mentioned... Doctors are all busy pretending the vaccine is legit. Even the videos showing the immune panel similar to AIDS patients has been deleted. I gu3ess you could get an independent Doctor to do the testing. However, I think an unvaccinated companion is what would be good for you.

[cth2188]

I disagree I’ve been single 7 years now and finding an unvaccinated partner that’s a needle in the haystack

[Truthatanycost]

I think there are more unvaccinated than we realize. You'd just need to find the right area.

[cth2188]

With all this truth out about snake venom I’m good - plus I’m pagan due to beliefs Nate would have to be pagan

[Berethor]

It's too long when one is start asking that question. :)

For women, there is no "giving up," cause they are single fully by choice.

For men, we tend o give up after 5 to 10 years of being alone. I gave up for different reasons though, cause I'm not going to be able to grow any taller.

[cth2188]

I’m single by choice

[GMANN56]

Finding love? I am single and I've been in love more times than I can recall.
From my experience, being married and being in love do not
go hand in hand.

[Dontaaaa]

in my opinion, there's no such thing.

I disagree with the notion that you have to be in a "relationship" with some.

[UniquelyBasic]

Its different for everyone

[cth2188]

Yeah I’m giving up on it it’s pointless to wait sound on someone who may not show up

[UniquelyBasic]

Why wait and not be the one who initiates the relationship?

[cth2188]

No one is serious about love , dating , or relationships today’s society has become about sex

[cth2188]

Finding a compatible mate would be hard too

[captainggaming]

Its different for everyone.
