What is the main reason (or three) you don't have a significant other in your life.... your fault? their fault? ... physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual? (or perhaps you do and would be willing to share if there was a change that you think made a difference).

I think it is a combination of several factors. I was very unwell throughout my twenties and overweight as a result. That's very nearly under control after two years - I feel much better. I am opinionated and sometimes this comes across as heat (in comments, tone) and I am very, very STUBBORN. This is generally not an endearing trait!

Pretty open for a stubborn person...opinionated, is that different than passionate? (what are you trying to win?) I used to be stubborn and I'm still oversensitive...take things far too personally that just aren't so (but I would never know till far far later).

I do not like the term "Significant Other". Abbreviate it. It's a "SO".

So................ so what? So.............so what?

I am old fashioned. Why not just say going steady?

To me the term "Significant Other" might as well mean, "Insignificant Other".

Because it could mean married, or dating, or lover or maybe something else...whatever is significant to you.

I haven't gotten back into a community of people (moved from GA to be with my Dad after my Mom died) where I would find someone interesting; I joined a gym, there are a great deal of people I find interesting there.

One of my personality profile things said I tend to give to others, but let it suck all the life out of me where I don't have any energy left for me---I am working on that since I became aware of it. After the move, I was hyperfocused on my children because I wanted to help them with the transition.

I joined eharmony about a year after the move, and I think that is a positive step, that is, just talking to "grown ups" again, and having both intelligent and silly conversations.

So what is a significant other? How do you define it?
