Calling all single people! Why are you still single?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Where do you want me to start? Because this reply could turn into a mytake, lol

To paraphrase: I got burned out of being rejected, hurt, and dealing with nonsense years ago. So I took what was supposed to be a "short hiatus" from dating, which turned into, "Oh, I like being single; I think I'm just going to stay this way."

And as bad as it sounds, I'm happier single than when I was trying to date or using dating sites! That sounds terrible, but no, it's true. Some people have atrocious luck when it comes to dating... I am that person. And I've just gotten to the point where I prefer being single than reliving bad experiences trying to date; it's honestly not worth it to me right now.

Because i mostly attract unstable, non serious and Non-Committal men. Which are mostly shallow. Those who do not think about anything other than looks and physical connection. I am more into deep emotional bond and connection and prefer someone who isn't shallow.

Part of it, I'm not attractive to women, in spite of sounding decent "on paper." I'm not sporting a six pack, I'm not 6'0, I don't earn 6 figures. To do the six figures, I would probably have to work every minute of my life.

Part of it, I took myself out of the running (not that I was really ever in the running) and I'm not pursuing (there is a woman I am interested in) - I am waiting probably until the next year - assuming I was suddenly seen as attractive, I probably am still out until October.

I have a girl that I’m in a situationship with, do you call that single

kylee2437 · Answer

I’m currently single but in a talking stage. He asked me to be his girlfriend two weeks ago and I said no. Reason being is because we are only two months into a talking stage and I think it’s a fast move to jump into a relationship with someone that I met as a stranger two months ago. I am very picky and I’m picky because of how unpicky I was in the past

Rosexøxø · Answer

To be honest. No one mentally connected and emotionally reciprocated.

I'll fuck a few hoes though, and go to a handful of parties.

Here's my new motto: Lost my virginity to the party rockers.

Let's get it bishesss muah ;0

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I’m single because I don’t date people I do not know very well so when new people approach me, the rejection rate is 100%.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

1. You live too far away.
2. I'm broke.
3. Where I live, hoes be crazy. Axe crazy.
4. Lots of health problems= don't get out much.
5. Wiki eats a lot of my time.
6. Everyone worth having is already married.
7. I'm a walking professor who must've missed the call. Gals where I live find that "aspie," and don't know how to act around me. They're afraid to say the wrong thing, so they say nothing.
8. At the nearest karaoke parlor, when everyone else is moaning old John Denver tunes, I'm getting in character doing my best Dicky Barret or Pat Monahan impression. No one knows how to react, as they're in disbelief.
9. I prefer to date gals who don't have outstanding warrants. Guess central Florida is a bad place to look then.

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

It's a long story but to sum up... My family basically ruined my life since I was a teen and I've just started to recover recently... so, It's like waking up from a coma... I'm now 26 and I haven't dated or made a thing for myself... So I'm currently working on myself and I don't think being with someone right now is a good idea... I've turned down a lot of girls in the past few years and it's getting very lonely lol... Yeah and being 26 and you still haven't had your first.. everything.. makes it super lonely 😅... It's so unsatisfying being logical and wise... Sometimes I think cmon man... Other people are so broken and damaged yet they still go for it.. Be selfish lol... I don't know I might snap but I don't think I will... I think I'm now dead inside lol...

Steelcore5280 · Answer

I'm single because when I look at the dating world, it's a really shitty deal for men, and I've noticed women have unbelievably ridiculous standards for what they desire in guys.

I also haven't met someone special enough, most women I've met have a number of red flag behaviors that make me walk away really fast.

I'm sure I'd have sone success in the dating market, but it just seems overall like a complete nightmare, and I don't have the time or the patience for it. I've also had a number of really shitty experiences in dating.

Hope that answers your question.

MementoMori777 · Answer

Everytime I think I find someone worth my time they either flake me, lie to me, not take me seriously or they just aren't interested in me, some get too comfortable and take advantage of my presence as well which they eventually lose interest, or I put in effort but they don't put the same back so I just choose to separate, I mean at some point I gotta run into someone worth it lol

OldWomanBySoul · Answer

I'm mentally unstable and I want to sort my problems out before I go into a relationship and unintentionally could hurt someone I like. I'm not in the best place mentally and I don't want to do any harm to anyone else's mental health and overall well being.

Quigly · Answer

It's the better life being single, Relationships don't really make life easier or better. They actually can make it much more difficult. Getting into a relationship should only be done for good reasons. Having kids and raising a Familly is a good reason. Taking care of someone less fortunate might be another.

Getting into a relationship just because you think someone is cute is actually a really bad reason to get into a relationship. Don't do it, you can actually screw up your entire life.

OracleCassandra · Answer

My best guess? My standards are a bit too high.
I do not care about height, financial status, and have only a base standard for physical attractiveness. But I want someone intelligent, strong (emotionally/physically), and kind. Those three traits are surprisingly rare in their overlap, especially in the higher percentile of any of them.

Anemone978 · Answer

Hmm I don't go out much to be able to meet anyone.
The ones I like never like me back or I don't realize they liked me until too late.
Guys on the internet all want sex or something from you, they are never serious.
I'm a bitch because I been hurt by many people in my life so it's really hard for me to let anyone get close to me, if at all.

Leapfrog00 · Answer

I have self esteem issues. I always get this voice in my head that says, "No one wants you. You're ugly." I was in love once or twice or actually, I don't know how many times! But I almost got married once, and she ran off with another guy!

For me, I'm starting to think there's something wrong with me!

Sour-rose · Answer

*just recently*

Mexican child: *unclear Spanish for she wants the kindo candy*
mother: Noooo.
*child proceeds to cry and put her hands in her face and cries softly and moans in anguish*

I go to the other cashier, leave and listen to that. Not a child catching up with me or a man who's catching up with me wanting to make a child. Forgive my brain, it wanted to share this moment so bad. But Maybe that's the clear reason; not to deal with more responsibility.

LeoZay · Answer

I'm not about drama and drama is what so many (not all) women seem to have to have. I work for myself, I do things on my timeline. I do things all hours of the night sometimes. I don't think I'm home enough and available enough to make a woman happy and I'm just not about the drama.

YourExLover69 · Answer

Because I usually attracted gold diggers, greedy girls in the past. I lost interest in dating/relationship world. I think I might die single most probably. Nowadays I don't take any efforts to look for a girl after bad experiences in the past.

Pacquet · Answer

Admittedly, fear of rejection, it’s such a painful and visceral thing and as a guy you’re obligated to overcome it. I’m constantly wondering if I appear and sound confident, if the woman is bored by what I’m saying, etc. Despite this I try still cause I hear it’s the only way to see success in dating.

Ben487 · Answer

I'm single b/c I am in a transitionary period where both my employment and geographical location are going to change. When I'm moved out of this place I dislike I will be actively looking for a wife, maybe until I'm 42 . If I am still a bachelor at that age I think I will just stay one for life.

Potteplante · Answer

I wasn't ready to date after losing my fiance and child until recently.

Paulalove98 · Answer

Still single because most guys I’ve met whether it’s my age or older, especially younger 18-22 have only wanted sex or not ready to commit yet which makes it hard for me to find a serious relationship.

dragoblack · Answer

Horrible luck with romance, hard to find mutual attraction, I'm oblivious to hints, i don't play mental games, and not many women see me as attractive, or romantically interested. Most women see me like a loyal friend or like a brother than as a romantic prospect.

CAPLOVE · Answer

I don't know, I think if I'm being honest it'd because I'm waiting around for my ex. Ik move on but I don't know how to. Another reason is that the guy I am talking to now hasn't asked me out yet

Lionman95 · Answer

Because I got my own issues with life and I take time falling in love. Another issue is that I only meet taken women recently and I often misunderstand a woman's signals so I never know if a woman likes me.

nolabels · Answer

Well, I was single until I wasn't. How the hell did that happen, anyway? It wasn't what I'd planned for myself. I guess stuff just happens.

NathanDavis · Answer

I have been in a relationship for half my life, since age 16 or so (happily too, no drama no traumas)... so I'm just having some me-time at the moment, still... lol

God_of_Thunder · Answer

I'm single because I have chosen not to date, anymore, after my last relationship ended. I'd rather be alone, than go through that again. I'm honestly happier, now.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't put much effort into dating, like I don't pursue or make a move - I'm probably a boring person by a lot of people's standards too, so I don't think anyone would be interested in me.

Even if any girl would be interested in me, they don't tend to approach and even if they did, they'd assume I'm gay, because a lot of people do.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I'd rather be alone for the right reasons than with someone for the wrong ones. If we don't bring out the best in eachother then what are we doing? I think I've only met 1 maybe 2 women in my life like that so... that's why I think.
