Why are YOU single?

Me, well shy, quiet, not really that bothered or I guess I would do something about it; something productive like make an effort, lol. Haven't been on the scene for a while now and think there are (at least for me) other things to life than mortgage, sex, kids and money though we are living in a material world and they do have their place to some degree. When the right lady turns up and if its the right time then fine. I am fairly single minded though and when you've been single for quite a while like I have you get perfectly comfortable with your own company, not that it has ever been an issue anyway. I rarely get lonely. I have a good family and friends and working life so things are fine. I think most, not all, but quite a few ladies prefer the man to make the move and that's something I never do so I guess people must have thought I am not interested. I can always find a reason not to ask a lady out though, ooo commitment...something that doesn't come naturally for this Sagittarian;)

I'd say most of that applies to me as well, although I'm not old enough to think about mortgage and family etc...
 
Because I haven't plucked up the courage to ask her out.

We were at college together but weren't ever best friends or anything but the sort of relationship who you would have a chat with and say "hey" if you passed in the corridor.

Will have to just suck it up and ask her out one day. :o :(

Edit: Oh and I think she is hot. :D ;)

Broke up with a wonderful girl 7 months ago due to long distance and not having the time I wanted to give to her as a result of work and college. I'm socially inept and don't meet many new people at all so chances of me meeting anyone new in the near future are slim to nil.

pof :)


Been happily in a relationship for 3 years :)

To be honest I've never actively sought out a girlfriend but I have rarely been single.

So my advice is to stop trying so hard :)

Edit: Oh, and getting out more helps.



in what wy, loads of people say that, and nights out just dont cut it in all hnesty do you really want a meet a lass that you want to say spend "more time" with on a night out unless its a quickie .... and I always seem to be out going to new places, just never seem to bump into any chick :(
 
Im shy, self-critical and probably a little paranoid (too many years as the fat kid, before I got thinner), and not the most exciting as it goes; do a day job etc etc, and am generally not that great at meeting people (perhaps Im overtly picky without realising!).
That said one of my exes from a few years back got back in touch recently and seems really keen, so I may well end up getting back with her, I always was fond of her, and we're both a little older and vaguely more mature now haha. Guess I can't be that bad then :D

lucky bugger :D
 
Hey, Im not going too much and jinx it!

All I'll say is she seems interested again; is calling me a fair bit (as was our way; always at the wrong times hah) and we're getting on well; Im giving it a little time to make sure what I want to do is the right thing; I've been single for a year and I don't want to rush into something for the sake of it; and it was over 3 years ago me and this lady were together.

The other plus side is she likes the fact I've gone from the thin stage back when we dated before, to a happy medium now, as she says I look better this way, and Im more comfy for watching movies against :D
'Tis looking good!

Because my last girlfriend left me and I can't be bothered with finding someone else at the moment due to my work hours and where I live. :)

Still rings pretty true really. Although now I have no work but instead I'm busy a lot for the next couple months with things at home then I'm back to uni, so finding a girl is the least of my worries. :)
 
i'm single because my track record puts me off. Every girl i've been with does one of two things, cheat or move away and we have the 'i don't want to do long distance talk'. Cheating makes me feel **** about myself and girls moving away still makes me feel **** as they're never willing to give it a go long distance.

So at the moment i've given up and am focussing on chasing my career for the foreseeable future as the emotional rollercoaster is too much.
 
im too quiet and shy around people i dont know, esp women.

try alcohol

i'm single cause, well it's awesome, you can do whatever you want, hang out with your friends and on a night out you can actually look at woman and pull multiple different woman. it's all fun

plus i'm going to uni in sept and there is no way in hell that i'm going to be tied down for that!!
 
Pretty much what everyone on here has said so far, lack of confidence etc.

I really do think sitting here now though if I KNEW a girl was interested then Id ask her out as I really really want to be in a relationship now. Ive made quite a few mistakes though, leaving it too late or realising when its been too late that a girl likes me.

Problem with me is that I don't have the slightest clue though, I've been told several times over the past few months that someone was eyeing me up and I didn't have the slightest clue!

Well simply I have a limp. Bugger all I can do about it. I'll chat to anyone and get on well with chatting them up but it's only when I walk towards or with a girl, you see their face drop. Can't say I hold it against any of them, it's reasonable. It hasn't stopped me though and I'm still trying. In the mean time I'm 26 and have loads of time to pursue hobbies & sort the house.

:/

Can't see why it's a problem really, if someone has an issue with something as simple and common as that then they really aren't worth it anyway. :)
 
I'm singly because I don't realy know any girls my own age.

The upshot....or not depends how you look at it, is that I am quite good with older women.

I absolutely hate myself for it.
 
I'm single because about a month ago I found out that my ex only decided to get with me for a laugh with her mates and had been cheating on me for 4 of the 5 months we had been together. :(

This resulted in her having two bottles of vodka poured down her at a party and me running rapidly out of the house :p

Aside from that, like quite a few people here, I lack the confidence to speak to girls and by the time I find it, it's the "Friend Zone".

Meh.
