I guess by choice... I don't know what to classify it as when you're 20 and you work for most of the day in a place with baby boomers.
Well, my situation is that all of the women I work with or that are in my same social circles are either far too old, far too young, or already in relationships. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks.
Although, part of my problem is also a lack of self-confidence/too nervous to ask. Usually, by the time that I get to know them well enough and get to the point I want to ask them out, they're already taken.
[small]Also, I'm a bit overweight. Go ahead and laugh if you must.[/small]
Yeah, I get nervous around girls I like too. Also, I'm too nice, get myself tossed in the Friend Zone rather quickly because I listen too much and am too nice. I've actually had a few long-distance female friends say they would love to date a guy like me, but I've yet to find a local girl who feels the same way.
I've been single going on five years now partly because of all of those, but partly by choice. I moved about three years ago, and so for quite some time I was sorting out my life, didn't have time to date.
Also, I live in Utah and am not a Mormon. That's a pretty big deal breaker around here.

Because I have no idea how relationships work. That and I completely fail at picking up flirting and the like, so there's a possibility someone has/currently likes me, but I am completely unaware of it.
By choice at the moment. Who knows, it could change. Besides... girlfriends are a slight pain in the ass.
I'm not single but if I was I guess it would be because I find it hard to relate to and therefor like people.
Pretty much all of those in some way. But mostly because I feel I am too unattractive physically for a woman to even bother getting to know me, despite me being a really nice guy (not trumpeting, have been told this by friends 
)
I also have had very, very bad experiences with relationships, every one has ended in a very broken heart after I found out the have cheated on me so I don't have the confidence to give myself to someone for fear of being hurt again.
I am also very picky and will not date anyone who I am not attracted to on a purely intellectual level, which unfortunately seems to be so very many people in small-ish cities in Australia D:
Yay for expressing personal things to strangers

Was in a relationship last year, but took too much time out of my schedule. I don't plan on being in another one until I go to university.
I've got a combination of the answers, but the main reason is never asked/never been asked. I don't really trust anyone who I know enough to be in a serious relationship with them.
Well, anyone I do trust on that level is gay and therefore out of the question.
Ummm... solutions, solutions... I've started working out for half an hour every weekday morning (freshman fifteen became freshman forty once I stopped dancing). Hopefully that will change my figure and make me more confident!

I'm a little tired of these constant threads of "Why are you single" or "Do you have a girlfriend" designed to make those of us who are single feel like crap because we don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend. There is no excuse for why you do or do not have a boyfriend/girlfriend beyond you're too much of a wuss to actually try. Any other excuse is just that: an excuse.
Jesus this thread is depressing. On the plus side, I think this gets easier as you get older. The biggest fear I had as a teen was the rejection, but if people let you down easily, rejection really isn't so bad. And girls gain some maturity after they get out of their teens and become a lot nicer about it.
But maybe I'm not the right person for advice. I've been with the same girl for about 10 years now, so I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of the singles scene.

Damn. And I thought that I would get to be the first person on the eighth page to say that.angjn said:
Also, what is this single that the OP speaks of? I am unfamiliar with the term/concept.
