Why are you still single? Tell the truth?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Because I gave up on dating.

I got sick of being rejected and given false hope. Did the "dating app" thing in my 20s only to be ignored, friendzoned, sisterzoned, or given the, "You're not my type" spill.

In addition, I live in a small "Mayberry" town where all the men my age have moved to larger cities and states, are taken, married, gay, or flat out not interested in me outside of a platonic friendship-

So I said screw it and gave up. And as bad as it sounds, I got so comfortable being single, I no longer have the urge to put myself back out there or deal with the toxic dating pool. Besides, statistics have shown single women are happier and doing better than married women... I wonder why? HMM 🤔

Hey, you asked and I gave you my honest answer. Been happily single over 15 years now and no, I am not trying to find anyone anymore.

Lots of reasons, Coach.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Because I dated a few guys in the past 1.5 year and none lasted longer than 2-3 months.

The longest lasted for 3 months.

I seem to not open up easily and also get attracted to emotionally unavailable men.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

My long term goal in dating was to find a permanent and exclusive partner. I found her in December, 2020 and married her in April, 2024.

Lalalove11 · Answer

I've done the whole dating thing it's supposed to be fun but as an introvert it was exhausting I have to take regular breaks. I realised it was hard to find people who could communicate? You know, like just be honest on what they were looking for? Some guys were definitely more decent but there were one or two in their 30s that happily would've strung me along until I stopped it from happening. Give the appearance they were interested in a relationship but not actually back it up with actions.

And now I haven't been on a date since February but am interested in a guy online who lives far away. 😭We are just friends though so it's sort of confusing. We will maybe meet this year not sure yet... Whether it ever progresses into a relationship is anybody's guess.

HawkPerception · Answer

3 time college dropout, broke ass, don't drive yet, still live with my mom at 30. Trying to start my own business and taking my time with that more than I should.

All I have going for me is my personality (my arrogant ass thinks so) and that I try to keep in shape. Doesn't really give the ladies much to desire 😂

But I still firmly believe if they can take me at rock bottom and as I am now, then they're a real keeper.

Some may think I'm dumb and look down on me for saying this on a public platform, but I'm honestly just trying to own what I am and not be afraid to say it.

paledreams · Answer

Coach 😙😮‍💨 - I couldn't find a whistle emoji lol - I just purely and simply ran out of time in my 20s prime and now at 30/30s I for one also feel like doing a rushed job aka rushed relationship or even rushed friends with benefits/or rushed banging women in their 20s now at my ripe old age of 30 that I'm ♂️ 30s male me, so that's why I'm single, because ultimately I've enjoyed my 20s and 30s and ongoing, much more, by giving back to family and friends and society with my time and taxes and my pay from various jobs and various life experiences to-date so far :P
Women? Well, I could always bang any broad (chick) lol I like in a future afterlife or future reincarnation, long after this life is over in the far future, perhaps it's also a useful coping mechanism, as I don't like to be religious cringe 😬😬🤔

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I'm just tired, man. That's really what it is. I'm tired of being the one to put all the work into making connections happen. I've realized that it is apparently way too much to ask people to have a very basic level of reciprocation and consideration as to how their behavior impacts me. It will always be a bit of a shock for me how many people genuinely need it explained that you should treat your partner better than other people in your life. It's apparently way too much to ask anyone to make even the most minor of life adjustments to accommodate the possibility of a relationship.

That's pretty much it; that's why I'm single. I'm single because I'm sick and tired of the complete lack of people being bothered to give the slightest fuck about the fact I'm part of their lives.

NathanDavis · Answer

mainly, because I have not dedicated any time to be otherwise

also because I am currently, and for the time being... dedicating to something else in my life

I might be moving out soon too, to a different part of this world, so I keep thinking about it... maybe I should start something there, rather than starting something here and then dealing with the dilemma or moving or staying (yet again, lmao)

bannacookies · Answer

I am married to my job and career path right now. It makes me happy & its my number one priority at this time. I am different, I don't feel I  need  a relationship to have self esteem or to not feel lonely like I know some do. I have been in relationships, but I got to say, I am happier being solo for the time being. I like to go on dates and stuff which I do, but nothing serious or committed.

PA19062024 · Answer

Okay, I'll tell.

Relationships are just far too confusing and complex for me. Women will expect me to be able to read their mind, but that just isn't possible, because I don't have psychic powers. Is it really too much to expect people to just tell me what they want, using those things we call "words", when they actually want something? And why can't people, both men and women, just be clear and precise about what they mean, rather than using "hints" and other forms of non-literal language?

luvstoned4him · Answer

Because the ones I love never want anything serious, the ones I don't love and who love me , I am not compatible with

But then am strong willed and know what I want and will decide against it.

I'm a loser. I've had so many opportunities but was never able to make a commitment. I was always told that someday I will regret it. And that day has finally arrived.

Yet the sad part is I still have plenty of opportunities and still cannot commit.

ChinaGrove · Answer

It's tough to not have a partner on those cold winter nights. But I've been around the block a time or two, and I learned that you can have more than one blanket.

I will eventually cave and go back into the lion's den, but not today.
