Poll: Why are you Single?

[De Ronneman]

Low selfesteem. Just can't get used to the fact someone genuinly likes me, since I know some stuff about me that would annoy me...
Overall I do good, but I'm usually too thick to see a flirt, or too thick to see whenever I can try one...

 

[Cody211282]

I guess by choice, mostly because my ex was a whore and I don't want to have to deal with anything like that again for a while

 

[Songbird-O]

I had a boyfriend. He was a wonderful man and a good friend. But I felt no magnetism between us. In addition, I felt as though we weren't on the same intellectual level. I'm not saying I'm smart, and I'm not saying he's dumb. I think he's just immature and not on my level.
I broke up with him five years ago, and he has asked for me back a few times. I can see that he has grown a bit, but I don't think I will ever date him again.

I have been asked out a few other times, and I have kindly denied them all. I have never felt attracted to any person in such a way. I've been attracted to intelligence and talent, but those don't make for good relationships alone.

I'm always on the lookout for when the right man will come, though.

I probably COULD get a girlfriend(there's enough women with low standards), but I really don't feel like wasting my time with the whole thing.

 

[Baldry]

Im going with that I have low self esteem and can't bring myself to ask

 

[JemJar]

"Other": I recently moved to a foreign country where my command of the language is survivable, but not good enough to be interesting / amusing / witty. Given that the relocation was entirely my decision the "By Choice" response is loosely valid also.

All I can say to those of you who've never asked or been asked, and who're low on self-esteem:

Say Yes More.

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

I'm engaged. Not all of us Escapist are single

 

[trying to hide my account]

well I have never been asked and I kinda have low self esteem

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Because I'm a loser? I guess that.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm short, weird, not very attractive, bad at socializing, clingy, and generally very boring.

 

[uncle-ellis]

I genuinly loathe myself.

 

[SonicKoala]

I just haven't met anybody recently who I'm interested in going out with - I see girls all the time that I'd like to potentially ask out when I'm at university, but since I don't have any classes with them or anything, it's next to impossible to actually talk to them and get to know them.

 

[Remigus]

It's a mistery to me! Nah, I think it's a combination of not really feeling comfortable in relations and being somewhat picky.
It's amazing to see some friends having a relationship with the first love/date they have in life and then keeping it going for years! They manage to make it look like they're quite happy!

 

[Prof.Wood]

Never asked
I'm not a very nice person (A bit to sarcastic s I have been told)
Need to be in better state (physically and mentally I'm not fat but I lack definition, and I have mood swings sometimes)
To ready easily detracted
I haven't got any of my goals accomplished yet (need 3 the I'm ready {yes i have a list will supply if asked by anyone)}
Not enough money.

Yep There are a few reasons why but I don't care yet anyway.

 

[Contun]

Not very confident. I'm not really looking for a relationship very much either...

 

[Sparrow]

OP: Does not compute...finding women is way too easy.

Yeah!

How comes there's no, "Single? I'm a freaking studmuffin, baby." option?

 

[Winter Rat]

The girl I'm crazy about (who is likewise with me) is moving to the other end of the US in a few months, so we're just having fun and wishing it was something else. Story of my life, I've never broken up with someone because I didn't like them, its just lives moving in opposite directions.

 

[jobinizer85]

Who would want to date an alcoholic with no plans to quit the sauce any time soon?

 

[-AC80-]

because I have the wrong approach, other/ugly, I always become friends first then they "claim" "I didn't think of you like that." bull***t you just want to say no

 

[skcseth]

Where's the "My Last GF Almost Turned Me Gay" option??
So I guess my reason would be spite & contempt :/
