I think I'd put it down to not really being eager to hook up with people just to get a bit of action. A girlfriend really doesn't appeal to me as just a sex toy.
Oh, and that too.

A combination of being A. too picky and B. a fat fuck.

I seem to attract one of three times of woman.

1. Attractive yet vapid chicks with Daddy issues.
2. Fat goths who, despite their attempts to be edgy and individual may as well all be the same person.
3. Genuinely sweet girls who are just too young for me to date without feeling guilty and/or arrested.

Seriously, where were all the horny 15 years olds when I WAS 15?

I'm also fairly guilty of the all-too-common-amongst-geeks trope of falling for girls I've been friends with for far too long, which never EVER works out.

A combination of lack of confidence and aiming for the unreachable. Silly me.

I don't mind being single though. I imagine being in a relationship would require a degree of effort that I'm unable to put in at the moment anyway.

I've never understood this kind of complaint though. The majority of my friends who are in "proper" relationships (ie, have been together for over a year) had been friends for a while (in one case 5 years) before they started going out. Maybe it's the mindset of the geek types or just the incompatibility of the friends, I'm not sure...

I helped my mom work at a daycare when I was 9; I've hated kids ever since and never want to have one. Plus I'm just not romantically interested in anything.

Well... I could have a girlfriend...only, I don't know who to choose...

I'm kinda like Holden from Catcher in the Rye in that I fall in love with every woman I meet...

...only I don't have that "no whores or nuns rule" he has...

I am asexual.
ok man, im seeing this term used alot in the couple other similar threads. i think i need a very clear definition of what exactly this term mean.
Asexuality is both having no interest in sex and not being sexually attracted to people.
ok, sure, lets roll with that.

Could be that my peers don't seem to know how to start a relationship without a get drunk - connect faces aproach.
It just doesn't feel right~
... ... although there are some redheads I just couldn't say no to if I tried D:

I am a person that likes to keep my life as un-complicated as possible..Women get in the way of this.

I have had one serious relationship where I was with the girl for 4 years, lived with her for 2 of those years. Looking back now they were easily the worst years of my life. It wasn't a bad relationship, just normal boyfriend/girlfriend but living with someone just does my head in after a while..I like my own space too much and if you don't want to let a woman in they get angry and say "you don't pay enough attention to me" or things along those lines and I just can't be bothered with all that stuff.

Well that was 2 years ago and I have never been happier being single..My life in so simple now and I like it that way. I also do what I want when I want, which is difficult in a relationship.

By choice/other.

I'm gay and not out of the closet yet, and wouldn't feel right dating a guy still closeted.

That and I'm lacking in confidence.

By choice. The only person I actually like happens to live about 10,000 km from here, and I'm not really interested in relationships.

I've never been asked.

And if did get in a relationship, my father would definitely stop it.
How so?

It sucks liking people, but they never like you back. It hardly builds your confidence when the only girls who like you are the beautiful ones, but only tell you when they're in another relationship, or reaaaaaaaally fat girls that don't look attractive. Call me shallow? Yeah, so is everyone else on this damn planet. What can you do?
Haha, that IS shallow. But kudos for being honest! So...if you're a nice guy, you obviously haven't met the right gal. I know that sounds extremely cliche, but the woman for you is out there. Maybe advertise yourself a bit more.
What do YOU think is the problem? If you're good looking, genuine, nice, looking for a proper relationship...then you're either approaching the wrong girls, or something else is the matter.

i dont like non gamers, ive been w/ non gamers, and all the things that were 'cute' @ first now becomes annoying, like the NAGGING 'why are u ALWAYS on the xbox/pc (insert system of choice)?? well maybe if u actually PLAYED w/ me, and stopped complaining, u might see the appeal. and also, single lady gamers are like bigfoot-- ppl CLAIM they exist, and some ppl even claim to have seen 1, but ive never found 1,(and ive seen UFOs) and this is after YEARS of eharmony, match.com, yahoo personals, and any other site u can imagine. no lady gamer 4 me, so no lady at all 4 me. i hung up my dating card long ago =/

I'm a little shy, and honestly I've never really tried to get a girlfriend. I'm sure I could get a girlfriend if I put effort into it, but it's just not really a huge concern for me.

Somewhere between too wierd and by choice. Both are true, though I prefer to think it is by choice. You see, I'm waiting for certain unsustainable societal trends to reach their natural endpoint before settling down and starting a family. I've been waiting for years now, but I think it is only a couple years longer.

By Choice.

It's taken me half a year getting over one person so it would be shooting myself in the foot if I let myself do it again.

Worst part is my ex of 4 years is always leading me on...

Assuming you're a normal healthy human being living in a fairly developed country why are you not fulfilling your biological imperative of procreating and churning out babies?
I'm not single (and haven't been for years), but I'm not churning out babies and don't plan to start any time soon. Where does that put me in relation to this thread?
