Why you are still single?

Question

IM SINGLE because I'm not now looking for a committed relationship. I give my personal time, social life, and careers greater attention. I don't want my relationship status to dictate how I live. Love is only an attraction.

I’m single for a couple reasons
1. I’m super shy. Every time a stranger shows interest, I run the other way
2. I’m a natural loner. I’ll rather be at home reading books on Saturday nights
3. Being single is fun

Im single because im alrady 51 and I had had the worst luck with men in my past to the extent of never had boyfriend, or dates or anyone. Is as simple as that and im now too old to find serious or committed relationships

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Because I am not at the point in my relationship where I am ready to propose to my girlfriend.

Ukrainiangirl7 · Answer

Because there are few Christian MEN my age.

By men I mean mature guys who are willing to talk to me in person and ask me out in person.

maybe the other major reason is that I don’t believe I’m good enough for the guys I found attractive. Or if I think I had a chance, turns out I didn’t, and they were out of my league. I guess I need to lower my physical standards. I’m tall though, so it’s hard for me anyway cause many average height and short guys are too scared to talk to me, and then talk guys are mostly interested in short women.

I noticed that most women are much better at smiling at men that they like and know how to attract attention. I can only smile at men that I know well and who I have some idea are interested in me slightly.

Another major problem is that I either attract or am attracted to younger guys. Guys 4-6 years younger, which can be a problem when you’re 26-27 and the guy is 20-23. Some think they like me, then find out my age and then change their mind. Or they know my age and like me, and then change their mind because either I’m insecure or they’re insecure. (I look younger than my age which right now kinda sucks cause I would like to get married in the next few years).

Blueeyes81 · Answer

Im cold and distant. Most of the woman I have dated or been in a relationship with sense this and try and tear down my walls. Its a long ass process and usually results in me pulling away further even though i don't want to. The result is I have to force my personality and it just makes things weird and awkward. Eventually they give up. So i usually get a good happy 4 months before I pull so far inward that it just becomes a strained forced thing and they end it. Its just the way I am. My last relationship I tried my damnedest to not pull away but the moment she showed vulnerability I panicked. From then on out if was my forced personality and not the real deal no matter how hard I tried to be comfortable and let me shine. She kept saying something is off with you what's goin on. I explained it and that it takes a long time to tear down my walls. A month later she tells me she has feelings for someone else and the cycle continues. Im the same way with friends, they can only get so close before I pull away.

stef85 · Answer

Well let's see, i'm 36 years old, i've been single my whole life, the reasons are as follow, apparently i'm not very attractive, the way i talk and act, sometimes intentional sometimes unintentional, the way i dress í look homeless most of the time so That's another turn off, plus sometimes í was why, but anytime í liked a girl, even if i really liked them, they always liked someone else or other guys in general not named me, so í have come to a conculsion a long time ago that no women on earth wants anything to do with me, í can't really picture myself dating or in relationship or someone's boyfriend í litterally just laugh at the thought of that, but luckily í don't have to ever worry about that as no woman would ever want me anyway for reaaons some in my control some out of my control and anyway í would be useless to them anyway, so u never miss what u never had so being single is all í know but yes i'm Okay with it because most guys have a girlfriend and or wife, or fuck buddies or what not and great for them, but í would'nt want to be in there shoes thought so y'all can have them, Every guy on this planet is ahead of me in terms of most things including women, so í just look at it like me and my personality my cock my company is just not needed by anyone and i'm Okay with that.

NathanDavis · Answer

because I want to, and need to...

I have plenty of work to do and things to take care of, and that leaves me less time to dedicate to a relationship, and I will most likely go like this for another (school) year, and I fine with that too...

after that period, things might change if they go well, workload will slow down at least on my part, the business will be more like "running itself" and then I'll have time to dedicate to someone else, as the way I like to be dedicated into relationships, I just don't have a rush to be back into a relationship, and I've never rushed in the past either

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

I'm single by choice because I want to focus on myself for a few years. Get my life to a place where I'm happy to share it with someone who could be a partner, and get myself to a place where I'm genuinely content and happy.

I've come a very long way, but I'm still in the middle of my growth. I don't really want to be distracted by a relationship, nor do I want a relationship to influence me right now, which I know it will.

So for now I'm single because I want to be able to adapt and adjust my life on my whim. That's harder to do while sharing it with someone. So until I'm more set in my routines and habits, I'm going to avoid concrete dating.

I'll still be open to making friends and meeting new people, but I'm less likely to seriously date.

I'll give it a go in a few years, but for now I'm very happy on my own.

MCheetah · Answer

This was asked yesterday. But I'll answer it again.

- Short.
- Physically unattractive.
- Not rich.
- Not submissive, a simp, or a cuck (like most men in my situation).
- Not willing to be abused or neglected by anyone.

But primarily the first one. The second one is just back-up to ensure I'll stay single until the heat death of the universe.

I told GAG users in a self-post I'd be less negative; I never said I'd be less honest.

Guy13 · Answer

The Pledge of Single Allegiance. I’m using it now‼️ I pledge to my Singleness thereby devoting my time to career advancement, personal joy development, and expanding my Social dimension. Love is an attraction and I am one Nation indivisible unto Self. 😎

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I don't know if it's far to say it's by choice. My ex cheated on me and I made a lot of bad changes in my life dating the girl before her.

I stopped flirting with women after because I need to focus on my life goals right now and women have really only ever distanced me from being the best version of myself.

I'd like to meet someone who changes that. But I can't afford the risk of dating every attractive girl I see to find out right now.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Intrigue 1 right now lives in another country. Intrigue 2, an old flame, lives in another country and they won't let me contact her. Plus, she had a kid. Intrigue 3 lives in another country. Intrigue 4 works at Subway, and I barely know her. Takes me a while to drum up the confidence needed to do anything.

Lucifer_01 · Answer

well, don't wanna get attached to someone, so they can hurt me again.
don't wanna sympathy from anyone, so they can broke my trust again.
don't want love from anyone, so they can destroy my future plan with them again.
I don't even want best friend and I don't want any other girl
SO THEY CAN HAVE S*X WITH EACH OTHER AND BETRAY ME... again.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

As for me I’m single & accepting applications & as for being single I’m single because I simply choose to be as of the moment. On the other hand if I happen to meet that special wonderful someone or a very lovely lady & a wonderful connection happens I’ll welcome a relationship all the way.

Kylal412 · Answer

I wish I had waited for a relationship but two daughters later I would never take it back. Enjoy live while it is yours and get to grow and be who you are meant to be. Life is short so what makes you happy even if it is doing it solo.

NewsReader · Answer

Too many reasons. And new reasons keep popping up as I get older. The tower of reasons is getting really tall. Once it loses its balance, it will fall on me and that's how I will die. Sometimes I feel like writing a book about myself on this topic. Like a diary. I got so much to say. But a few things are too personal. I would have to put it at the end using invisible ink which can only be visible with a special light.

Čiadas · Answer

Because casual sex is a thing. I have a mental disorder where I don't wanna sleep with a person without having an emotional connection first, and seeing how women now are just casually humping any D that comes their way simply pushes me away from dating. Maybe I need therapy.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I've never really put myself out there, I don't approach and even if I did, I wouldn't fancy my chances anyway.

It doesn't bother me anyway, happiness is my priority and I can't miss what I've never had.

heatherlou · Answer

I'm happily single. I'm not opposed to the idea of a relationship but I'm not actively looking for one. I enjoy my life and career - and adding a relationship would have to enhance that, not detract from it.

SlightlyEccentric · Answer

Because I have yet to find a woman worthy of my time. Too many nasty, arrogant, narcissistic and just toxic women out there. The ones that aren't are already taken. So whatever, I'm used to being alone.

MissingAWoman · Answer

I am turning 28 and been single my entire life. It is not necessarily by choice either. I want a girlfriend so bad but women have just been unobtainable to me.
