I've been asked plenty number of times why I am single or why I chose to be single.
Here are those reasons
Waiting for the 'one'
As shitty as it sounds, I am still waiting for my the 'one' to come. I do believe in soul mates. I have heard people say that it's idiotic for me to believe that there exists such a thing, but I admit that I can't be as smart as you say. I know people have had terrible experiences and I'm not blaming them for having it, shit happens with everyone. I just hope that it doesn't happen with me.
Being too focused on studies and career
For a better future of course, I study and look forward to have a job which I am passionate about. Obviously I look forward for printing money too. Even if I find the right girl for me during this time, I won't be able to devote my time to her, which she may find it to be a turn off but I think it'll be good for us both, for our future. But understanding each other is all it takes. If we fail to have such a compatibility, then it may prove ruinous for us both or for only me in the long run.
Having trust issues and seeing other 'committed' relationships
I am more of an observer who first peeps into the well before jumping in it. Now it's not that I need to be inspired by some couple(s) to fall in love with someone. From what I have observed, for those teens who say they're in a 'committed' relationship but still break up after 2 months, I know it's because of the raging hormones. But seeing older people breaking up and ruining their relationships makes me feel too cautious. And obviously I don't want to be a guy who would fall in love with the wrong girl and then will be left to cry alone at nights. Hell no.
Being seen as a 'player'
I was no older than 16 when I first heard this terminology. I overheard a girl saying that I am most probably a 'player' therefore I am always full of myself. Excuse me miss, but its not pleasant to call anybody a player. You have never seen me touching a girl or even talking to one, then how can you say that?
It happens so sometimes that some girl or a guy randomly comes to me and says, 'So, what's your score as of now?' which makes me go numb. I dared telling a girl that I am not a guy who sleeps around, then I became a 'liar' too. That was nice to hear.
Even for some genuine reason, like telling a girl to give me side to pass or to ask for a notebook, I am seen with doubtful eyes or with those coyly and flirtatious eyes. This has made me feeling deprived of talking to girls. And the fact that I don't talk to girls, I am seen as an arrogant person.
Maybe too demanding
I am a virgin, and want a virgin. I admit that that I want a caring, loving and loyal partner and that's not too much in my opinion as I too will return the favour, no question in that. That is too demanding for you? Then yeah I am too demanding.
Being too straightforward
I don't like to sugarcoat things and give everyone a logical answer/explanation to whoever asks me for genuinely. For girls, expecting me to flatter them, sorry ain't gonna happen. I am not one of those guys whose morals are that degraded who would go to any extent to get you.
Reality is my path and logic is my car.
I may sound a little sweet to some people as I first see the mental state of the person and then tell them what's what. I have a tendency to empathize with people and guess that how my words may affect them. But in the long run, they do come to know who I am.
Seeming to be full of myself
Is it bad that I remain quiet most of the times and not always talk about random things? I do like talking but I am more of a person who thinks and introspects a lot. You see, I like to use my brain more than my mouth. Also, not talking doesn't mean I am full of myself.
You know, I am full of myself now. Seeing so many idiots around me makes me think how someone can go down to such things. Call it whatever you want: I don't have the balls to do so, I am a hater, I am jealous, I failed to understand the person well. Blah blah. I don't care. It is more of a choice of willingness to do some things sometimes and about your interests in things. I don't like to do what I don't like to do or what I consider degrading.
My backup plan if I fail to find any
I am glad that I am just 17 as of now and can worry on lot of other things. But since it's the time when I have experienced my adolescence to an extent and the mastered to control my feelings and temptations, perhaps, it won't matter if I fail to find one. I have developed the habit to find happiness in small things. Being desperate to get a girl is the last thing that I'll be doing, but still I need to feel the love and care of a girl and will be greatly affected if fail to find any. But I am quite sure of living my life by thinking that 'Being with a girl is not the thing I was born for I can still do many things.'
For example, I like living my life in my ways. Playing games and feeding my curiosities are the things which I like to do the most.
