I prefer being single

By choice. There are many reasons. Are you asking for a personal answer or a list?

34 and single

I had a relationship that lasted years, but we did not marry. I was injured and lost my job. I could not support her. She accused me of saying I was interested in marriage and then refused marry her. I wanted to continue as friends. She told me to stop calling her. That was in the early 2000’s.

Now I am 63 and not interested in marriage. In my opinion it is too late for me to marry and raise children. Most women who were interested in marriage have already married. Many married while they were young and remained married until one of them died. They become widows in their 70’s and 80’s. Remarriage is not always possible or desirable for them. There are more old women than men.

There are many single women your age who have raised their families and are ready for a close friendship, no kids involved. It keeps loneliness away

I believe I am single because I am called by God to this life.

When I was young and wanted companionship, I was always told by people that I have to learn to be content with being single instead of trying so hard to be with someone else. I think the reasoning was that if I'm not satisfied with who I am as a single person, I can't expect someone else to want to be with me and be happy. Eventually, I became completely content with being single, and therefore lost interest in being with someone else. Now I'm in my early 50s and actually prefer to be alone.

Don't know. I suppose you could say I'm still actively looking but being Orthodox in the South doesn't make it easy.

 

[returntosender]

I am sorry I steered you wrong.

For a long time, I just sucked talking to women. Well I sucked at making friends in general. Now I'm better at that but I'm a little more picky about who I would want to be with. Truth is I don't "click" with many people on a deep enough level to want to pursue anything. Which sucks cause I would love to be in a relationship.

To be honest, I thought I was such a weirdo for thinking romance for its own sake was strange. Now, I've come to the realization that I'm not into dating culture, especially not these days, and that I'm not an oddball. Courting makes so much more sense to me.

Pre-conversion, I didn't have a biblical doctrine of marriage, so I wrote the whole partnership thing completely off. Now, I see how it mirrors our marriage to Christ, how it helps us grow in sanctification, and how it ultimately glorifies God and grows His kingdom. I'm sold. Only after being saved am I even open to the idea of it. I thought I was aromantic for so long!

I'm 26, so a bit late to just now decide that I do want marriage eventually (I'm totally not marriage material at the moment), but my aversion to partnering with someone was definitely providential. I'm human just like anyone else. I can only imagine the mess I would've gotten myself into had I been interested in dating in high school or college.

I've long said it's because I'm not dating, engaged, married, widowed, or divorced and is therefore the only option. In all seriousness, it's because the women I'm interested in don't go for me and vice versa.

 

[ElCamino]

I'm single because I choose to be single. Even though I'm an introvert, I've never really had trouble getting women.

I've had girlfriends since I was 12 (I'm 42 now), I've been in a few serious relationships; but I don't think I was ever close to getting married (reason why a couple of those relationships eventually ended).

Maybe I just haven't met the "right woman" for me yet.

 

[returntosender]

If I was looking I think I would look for friends with the possibility it could turn into more. What better then a romance with someone you know and like as a friend. Looking for friends but not with romance in the back of your mind. Only I am saying that would be a nice thing to happen.

40's, your ship has sailed?? Oh my goodness.
