I'm simply a social trainwreck and keep company with other social trainwrecks. It kinda circumvents itself.
Many reasons, mainly by choice because I have had too many stories about people who were abused, exploited, manipulated or otherwise misused for me to ever consider gambling my future on someone else.
Also, with my asperger's, OCD, tourettes, disgraphia, screwed up sexual orientation, possible schizophrenia and sexual anhedonia, I seriously doubt anyone would even WANT to get close to me.

At least you said it before I did. Oddly enough the dance thing happened to me as well. Ironically/tragically I actually liked the girl at time! Then when I moved on she was all over me, which I didn't realize until she was also no longer interested... **** what a parody. It was kinda like the Romeo & Juliet thing with them dying in the ending.Phenom828 said:
Also the only girl I actually asked out was seriously scared of me. Love turned to bitterness in quite literally minutes. The one girl who I can relate to and hold a conversation with is a good friend of mine and if I screw that friendship up I may as well start slitting my wrists.
My rationalization as to why I am single in three simple steps:
I cannot identify when a girl likes me (on his blindness)
All the decent girls are know are good friends and just that ( My attempts at romance are truly pathetic)
Life's a truly ironic *****. ('nuff said)
I guess by choice... I don't know what to classify it as when you're 20 and you work for most of the day in a place with baby boomers.
Well, my situation is that all of the women I work with or that are in my same social circles are either far too old, far too young, or already in relationships. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks.
Although, part of my problem is also a lack of self-confidence/too nervous to ask. Usually, by the time that I get to know them well enough and get to the point I want to ask them out, they're already taken.
[small]Also, I'm a bit overweight. Go ahead and laugh if you must.[/small]
Yeah, I get nervous around girls I like too. Also, I'm too nice, get myself tossed in the Friend Zone rather quickly because I listen too much and am too nice. I've actually had a few long-distance female friends say they would love to date a guy like me, but I've yet to find a local girl who feels the same way.
I've been single going on five years now partly because of all of those, but partly by choice. I moved about three years ago, and so for quite some time I was sorting out my life, didn't have time to date.
Also, I live in Utah and am not a Mormon. That's a pretty big deal breaker around here.

Because I have no idea how relationships work. That and I completely fail at picking up flirting and the like, so there's a possibility someone has/currently likes me, but I am completely unaware of it.
By choice at the moment. Who knows, it could change. Besides... girlfriends are a slight pain in the ass.
I'm not single but if I was I guess it would be because I find it hard to relate to and therefor like people.
Pretty much all of those in some way. But mostly because I feel I am too unattractive physically for a woman to even bother getting to know me, despite me being a really nice guy (not trumpeting, have been told this by friends 
)
I also have had very, very bad experiences with relationships, every one has ended in a very broken heart after I found out the have cheated on me so I don't have the confidence to give myself to someone for fear of being hurt again.
I am also very picky and will not date anyone who I am not attracted to on a purely intellectual level, which unfortunately seems to be so very many people in small-ish cities in Australia D:
Yay for expressing personal things to strangers

Was in a relationship last year, but took too much time out of my schedule. I don't plan on being in another one until I go to university.
