You sound exactly like the type of person I'm looking for...

[goth]

i already found the person i'd like to be with, but i screwed things up. now i don't feel the need to bother with anyone else. at least, not for something serious. i still love the person i was with. there's no room for anyone else.

[stoopidkitty]

Well, one reason I'm single is because I don't like being tied to a leash. There are countless other reasons too...

[Havoc313]

Never found some I am interested in or some interested in me.

[Ascension]

Boy, am I glad I found this forum. In some twisted way, its good to know im not the only one suffering with relationships due to my personality type. Ive been in 3 LTRs in my life and all ended sooner or later, and I felt like they never reached a deeper level of intimacy. Ive been single for the last 10 years, and pretty much have avoided getting close to a girl, even if one happened to come my way. Looking from the outside in, I have alot going for myself; intelligence, great job, decent looks etc etc... but I find myself constantly pushing away anyone that wants to get close. I rarely have to do the approaching,which may not be as much of a benefit as it seems - but I have no idea how to work on getting passed this roadblock. Hopefuly, after reading the forum some Ill have a better idea. Cheers!

i'm single because i suffer from "you're a nice guy but..." syndrome and have had enough of settling for the desperate clingy leftovers that can't get a "regular guy" like the one that turned fatal attraction on me and put me off dating altogether for the past DECADE.

now, when women flirt with me, i tend to recoil in disgust. that's a pretty SPECIFIC reason.

now, i just refuse to settle. if i'm not good enough for another stupid woman who THINKS WITH HER POOTY, i just can't be bothered, though i'd love to be involved with a sweet gal who likes me for all of the positive traits, like honesty, that come with being an INTJ.

don't believe the hype when women say they want honesty. they really just want a loser who lies too well for them to catch more often than not outside the logical community

- Limited social circle don't get out much
- Extremely tall for my race (taller than 80% of men in the same race) and nerdy looking
- Doesn't act girly, androgynous looking (not really butch)
- Comes off as shy but rather a cover for hiding a very politically incorrect mind
- Avoids 'touch' like the plague unless its a guy and I actually trust/know him
- Would rather spend time window shopping (literally, in shops.)
- Don't consider people within my work in the 'romantic' sense (Don't sh*t where you eat)
- The more I get to know someone, the more they disappoint me in terms of their suitability as a reliable partner
- Unromantic and overly practical (don't believe in soul mates, believes men are inclined to stray, believes people fall in love after accumulating shared experiences)
- Cannot stand arrogant, dumb or controlling men (I'm no Einstein), if the personality grates, romantic notions die fast. OK, I just get a headache.
- Cannot stand disrespectful men, if you're gonna play the field and make me one of the players, I'd appreciate it being upfront about this (Women have good intuition when it comes to these things - evolution, maybe) . Not providing me with the full facts is insulting.
- Doesn't drink alcohol or coffee (taste reasons, not moral ones)

I’m single because I’m rather picky about sex and stuff. It would seem I’m a lot better at getting girls to come to me then I am at pursuing them. And it seems to blow their minds when they want to screw after knowing each other an hour and I turn them down. But then again I hang around a lot of very free spirited people.

I’m certainly not opposed to sex or even having flings, but if I do there needs to a be some passion, romance, depth ect or else I just find it gross. I meet women all the time just by making it a point to be social. I become good friends with most I meet, but typically I meet them at parties and stuff and 90% of the time I end up babysitting everyone so in my rather large circle of people I am currently involved with I’m regarded as the responsible one. (Which I can’t help but find hilarious.) And this seems to garner a bit of attention. But I’m not interested in easy women so I never let it go anywhere.

I certainly wouldn’t mind being in a relationship, I just haven’t met the kind of girl I want yet. Besides being in a real relationship would imply I expect it to lead to bigger things like Marriage, Family ect. And while I hope to have that someday I still have a long way to go before I could support something like that. So I’m kind of stuck at a crossroad between my inhibitions and state of affairs.

It’s lame though because I come up with the coolest stuff for dates. I can have fun with just about anyone, especially the shy and introverted. I love meeting those types and then taking them on crazy adventures. Thing is though those are rare and I usually end up with a bunch of idiots and floozies. But whatever, I’ll keep looking.

That’s my current situation anyway. It changes frequently though.

1. Low confidence and self-esteem, so I don't put any effort into it.
2. Practically non-existent social circle, so I don't meet anyone.

3. Sort of a narcissistic, pessimistic, "survivor's guilt" without the traumatic event, Midas' Touch thing where I don't want to let anyone down or hurt anyone, so I just don't get close to anyone (or allow anyone to get close to me). This one informs 1 and 2.

[Dinah]

Hmm. Well, earlier this semester a nice guy got my number from a girlfriend and asked me out. I was open to it, but he got way too clingy/stalkerish way too fast so I ended it. I did not enjoy getting a "I see you!!1" text every time I walked to the ladies room.

Guy #2 seemed too eccentric even for me, plus his graduation/moving away date came quickly after we finally grew closer.

Guy #3 was, um...he just didn't seem like my type, but he was really intelligent and the pursuer so we talked for a while. Found out he was into drugs and a bit of a player.

Maybe when I leave rural Texas...

[Proximus]

I've been single for two years (left a 5 year relationship because the guy was way to clingy and he always was right (even when he wasn't) and when I gave him a lot of information he would act like Gestapo and ask and ask and ask- driving me mad and nuts- and he didn't understand that problem. Plus that he would say things like "yeah, well, you're not *that* pretty" (Compared to him and that ridiculous scale, I'm an 8. Whatever that is). So when I ended the relationship and he had an ONS, he went on with how happy he was that HE could get someone that pretty. God, made me feel like shit X( ).

So, I'm single because I set a bit higher standard this time- I don't want a guy like that again, because they drain the energy out. My "problem" is that I'm a bit shy and I find small-talk so incredible BORING, so if men are going to talk to me, weather and such isn't really it.

I want someone that loves me for me, and let me have a little bit of freedom. And someone who's nice, smart and intelligent, and treats me like a lady, plus someone who wouldn't be looking at any other women- and I'd be in heaven. ^^

[ModernLit]

i say things like, "actually, i find you repulsive" to people that have crushes on me. he got over that one pretty quickly

I hate relationships period... it always starts off nice, as long as I accept their bullshit without complaint, the moment I finally tell someone how I really feel they leave. I would rather be alone than deal with that... at least then I can be myself.

[superflax]

cos the girl i liked was too much of a control freak and I don't like feeling controlled.

[Distance]

My most recent ex-relationship made me realise how much I dislike relationship responsibility. Spent too much of my life feeling responsible. Fuck that noise.

[Ulysses S Grant]

Dislike being scrutinized for my actions, and because i enjoy having multiple sexual partners at this point in my life.

[xavier3961]

Lack of Courage, Funds and Mentally Attractive Females.

Dusty dick syndrome..

[Carot]

Because I fucked up somewhere along the way.

Somebody has to loose the game..so that other people can win.

[PRBori]

Hmm..very high standards and a few lifestyle limitations impact my relationships.

Last SO met must of my requirements and was very good to me and my little one, but the daily drinking and attitude towards other cultures and a few other things all associated with drinking killed.the relationship after almost 2 yrs.

At the end of the day, is hard to find a partner that not only meets the requirements but also understands my lifestyle limitations and requirements on his end.

I told some of them to a guy friend (just a friend) to get his opinion and he was like your ideas are awesome.

Alas, I hate getting close to people. So instead I take myself out hahaha.

No one could stand 10 minutes with me. Then again, I can't stand many people. So being single isn't that bad.

[Espadrille]

I like being single. It seems to be a lot more fun, pleasant and growth-enducing than the alternative and relating to a lot of different people really pushes your boundaries.

[Social Torture]

I'm not interested. Even if I was, I'm damaged goods anyway.

[Zsych]

No girls have caught me with the feminine wiles recently (because I've come to recognize those skills), and the more easy going and fun girls are usually taken already. Stealing a girl from her boyfriend takes more effort than you want to spend on starting a relationship.
