So, I am fairly new here although have been lurking for a couple of months. A lot of the focus seems to lean toward "the other person" but I think it would be interesting to answer the question- why do you think you are still single? Because at the end of the day, more than anything, this is the common theme that brings us all here.


Please try to be serious in your response- consider this an open session to share characteristics about yourself or attributes that may make it difficult for you to find the ideal mate. (Please don't include geography- as that is a location and not a personality characteristic!)

My husband told me when he left me that no one would marry a me becauseI havefour children.


My ex-fiance said in a counseling session that he didn't want to marry a woman with four children.


I hope that's not the case because as every single parent will agree...my kids are awesome!

kiki, my ex-husband told me no one would want me because I had 2 kids & nothing to offer..he was cheating on me with a 22 yr old.....I am hoping that not all men are as self-absorbed as my ex & the 2 you mentioned..I think my kids are awesome& I'll bet your's are too!

I have not found the right man for me. I am single by choice until I met Mr. Right. I don't have any children because I am waiting but I would like to be married and have children someday.

I am single because I knew I didn't want biological kids, so marriage was never on my agenda. So I focued on getting a good education, a good job and becoming self sufficient. Now that I am in my late 40s, though, I would like to find a long term relationship that doesn't necessarily have to be marriage. I just like the security and joy of spending quality time with someone I know well and love.

Because I don't spend enough time finding a person. I "get busy" and let things get in the way because it's all just too scary to deal with. Now the few times I have had a someone I run them off for various reasons, but of course it has nothing to do with me.

Long story short, I didn't start dating until I was 27...less than 3 years ago. I have been on almost two dozen dates since then, but outside off a three-month relationship that was doomed from the beginning, I've had no success. Much of it has to do with the fact that I have Asperger's Syndrome. However, I am very persistent, and refuse to give up.

I am single due to the fact the twit I was engaged to decided he still wanted to get married but had met someone else he wanted to date too. I don't share like that So now, I am looking for the guy my cats approve of who also believes in taking vows seriously.

I think that being alone for so long has given me a one sided perspective. Being aloneI tend to focus on myself andmy shortcomings trying to improve on them. That often leads me to seeing things from my point of view and not the overall picture.

I suffer from the 'friend curse'. Always the friend, never the girlfriend. Not sure why,I've asked my friends, but no one has been able/willing to tell me.
