Poll: Why are you Single?

[Vohn_exel]

Most of those options apply to me, lol. I'm too ugly, to wierd, and have zero self esteem unless it comes to Street Fighter. I'm kinda picky and I've also never been asked.

I don't like children, so I wouldn't be into the whole procreation thing.

As for being single, I seem to be too selfish for an intimate relationship.

I am barely courteous and conscientious of my own housemate and best friend, let alone someone who was emotionally invested more so in myself and my actions. I enjoy going out without having to answer to someone or explain why I was home late.

And I enjoy my personal time and space.

I also seem to have an aversion to too much human interaction - it seems to tire me out. So to consciously try and put in a lot of effort into a relationship which more than likely will just end with a broken heart is something I don't fancy investing in.

But I have been in love and wanted to change the world for someone. I've had my heart broken, and broken others. It's just something I don't fancy doing again in a hurry.

I have a couple serious flaws when it comes to finding a partner. First off would probably qualify as "Ugly", because I generally look as if I am supremely pissed off at the world with the structure of my face. Looking as if you are always spoiling for a fight is generally a big deterant, along with rarely smiling in public(away from friends).
Example:

Also I am very picky about the type of girls I will and wont pursue. And while I dont see my standards as excessive it does tend to narrow the field considerably even though intelligence,drive, and purpose are the only deal breakers .

All in all though I am used to it, and it is working for me recently.

I've never been a flirty guy. When I talk to a chick I usually just talk to them like I talk to another guy. So I guess I'm more of the "Just Friends" kind of guy. Which is fine, because I got some sexy friends

i'm single because i broke up with my boyfriend about... 5 hours ago.
quite simply, i want to be single because i like the freedom. that and i feel no attraction towards him anymore....

By choice-ish.

I don't really have an interest in a deeper relationship with anyone. I've always had a close knit group of friends, and I've always been content with it. It gives me the ability to have social opportunities, yet also lets me still enjoy my own quiet time when I need it, without having to worry about a significant other being upset that I don't want to spend time with them at the moment. Friends always seem to have had that problem when I watch their relationships, and they voice it as well, that their other always wants to be with them. And that doesn't sit right with me.

I also will submit that I'm socially awkward. I can convey better in text than what I can in face to face. I always end up standing too close to someone, or stumbling over my words as I try to tell a joke, or something along those lines. Try as I might, when meeting new people, most turn away from wanting to converse more because "He's too shy." (Which is true.) The few that see past it and stick with me, I'm perfectly happy to have on my side. And I'll even let them know it. Eventually social situations will click for me more, I'm sure, but at the moment they only serve to enforce my choice of staying single.

In the end, though, it's by choice. There's nothing stopping me from stepping up and giving it my best shot. People are going to have their opinions about everyone, and there's nothing I can do to stop that, so why not try? But at the same time I'm as happy as I've ever been, and I'm flying solo. And that's great enough for me.

Wow you sound just like me.

Though now I'm thinking of acting like an asshole and going out for several flings. Wonder if that will settle my existential angst

 

[bob-2000]

I've never been compelled to ask, and being single doesn't bother me.

 

[heyheysg]

easy, I am not.
Mwahahahahahahahahaha

That's a crazy avatar, I've never noticed that the cactuar had 3 spikes on the head

 

[Kenjitsuka]

I don't want to be in a relationship.
On a sidenote, yeah I am really picky but have a lot of reasons to be so

Oh yeah, better to have 3-5 good female friends than 1 jealous girl that you must give all your attention all the time or she'll think you're cheating on her.

 

[dfphetteplace]

I'm not, I'm married.

 

[LWS666]

every option you listed.

 

[Iron Mal]

While I'm not presently single (I'm currently very happy with the relationship I'm in, I appologise if that's rubbing it in to anyone here) I know that my previous bad luck with women probably had something to do with me being somewhat on the strange side along with an unhealthy amount of social ineptitude.

My advice to others in my situation is...absolutely nothing, there is no guarenteed stratagy or technique that will make people suddenly like you and take interest. I'm afraid that if you wanna change things you're gonna have to do it the hard way (or apply to a dating site and have fingers crossed about not drawing in sociopaths and axe murderers).

 

[sirkai007]

I would like to say that in addition to falling in to the third category, I also am too poor, weird, and pricky.

 

[GiantSpiderGoat]

I'm between emo sluts at the moment.

Edit: oh and thats not me saying im between emo sluts. That's what my parents said.

 

[XoXoButterflyXoXo]

My last relationship went bad, so i'm still a bit hurt

 

[capin Rob]

I don't ask girls out, mostly becaues of self esteem, so yeah, can any girls here tell me what signs to look for

 

[RoosterTeeth]

Because I spend my life watching red vs blue over and over...

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

Getting into a relationship is easy enough, i just can't hold on to em cuz i'm waaaaaay too wierd/neurotic.
