Poll: Why are you Single?

[Xanadu84]

An unhealthy knack for attracting AND being attracted to girls who are A) About to start dating someone else B) Moving to Africa or C) Bipolar. So...yeah.

 

[dodo1331]

I'm not single.

But if I was, it would be because I hadn't asked anyone.

 

[Dahni]

Partially due to choice, partially due to the guy I was in a relationship with up until three days ago being a controlling douchebag.

 

[Knight of Cydonia]

*sigh*

I hate my love life...oh wait

I've never had one

 

[Sakurazaki1023]

I've never really tried to get a girlfriend, so it's most likely my fault. Although I am kind of picky when personality and interests are concerned.

 

[Vek]

got a little under $20,000US in college loan debts, trying to buy a car, and looking to save up another $20-$40,000 to get into grad school for a master's degree. Yeah, girlfriends are expensive.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

I'm single because I'm trying not to be.

 

[Riobux]

Probably low self esteem considering that I could easily check all the boxes except "by choice". Although I'm unsure if I'm too poor since I'm not really poor, just somewhat poor.

 

[Tentacles of Cool]

I really just have a general lack of interest. While dating is nice and all, I really don't see myself attracted to girl if I know that our interests don't mesh. As for finding people who meet that criteria, I usually don't ask them out due to not really putting romance as a high priority.

 

[jultub]

I haven't got the time, money or energy to invest into a relationship atm.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I really don't have the slightest interest in pursuing a romantic relationship, and other than the one time a stranger asked me for my phone number (after asking if I had a girlfriend and learning the answer was no - nothing came of that though), nobody is pressing the issue. It's been brought to my attention from time to time (via way of my sister) that various girls I know find me attractive, but since they never bring that up with me, I don't have to deal with it either way.

And since I'm perfectly content to be a bachelor for perpetuity, that's fine with me.

 

[FinalHeart95]

Low self esteem probably. I did ask someone a while ago, but let's just say I did it in the dumbest way possible. That obviously didn't pan out.

That or I have no desire to go out with anyone at the moment. It's kind of a mix of both I guess.

 

[Alloflifedecays]

Well I'm told I'm pretty dateable, but I have no confidence with girls, so I don't really make a move on them, and I usually miss them making moves on me because I'm too busy fawning over girls who don't want me anyway. Such is life.

 

[drisky]

Self Esteem issues from middle being the one that girls would dare each other to confess their "love" to me over the phone, or in high school during trust building exercises girls would wince or down right cower at the fact that they would have to touch my hand. After things like this my self-esteem issues are very deep set are aren't going anywhere until (I believe) I have a relationship so it is a vicious cycle.

 

[Radu889]

Low self esteem and B(never asked) kinda applies as well.

 

[natster43]

Both low self esteem and never asking.

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

I've had relationships. They usually end in drama what with all those emotion things flying around. I don't know. I usually don't start things, but I have a low tolerance for that kind of drama and am usually the one to stop things by severing the relationship.

That said I'm not single, yet. Give it some time, it always ends badly.

 

[Captain Pancake]

I was a terrible boyfriend. That's why at the moment. It'll change soon I hope, I think I've found somebody else.

 

[Woodsey]

By choice. I've also got the emotional maturity of a 5-year-old, so I pussy away from any sort of involvement with someone that's anywhere near substantial.

 

[SnipErlite]

Complications, multiple people and some other crap. Oh and I'm paranoid about commitments.

I've given up. The only two relationships I've ever been in have been complete disasters, and it was all my fault. I just don't think I'd make a very nice person to spend a long period of time with.

So yeah, unless 'The right one' comes along, which I doubt, I don't think I'll be bothering with that relationship business. Or at least not making an effort, if something falls into my lap (metaphorically, you pervert) then I'll probably take it, but I won't make the first move. I just don't have the confidence.

Ahh Furburt where's the optimism? Everything's not going to be perfect all the time, but don't be so disbelieving of the 'right one' thing. You'll meet someone you just click with (clichéd I know, but there's one person I'd say I clicked with although they're just a friend) some time, I guarantee. No matter what previous experiences say[sub]*sigh* more clichés?[/sub] you never know what'll happen tomorrow.
