Yeah, there are quite a few of these "Being Single" threads, and there will be a ton more through the years. By making one, you get to set the tone for it.
Long story short:
Seperated 5 1/2 years
Divorced 4 1/2 years - last straw was infedelity on his part.
I have yet to seriously date. There have been opportunities the past couple years, but the situations haven't been something that could be worked with being that I need to keep the kids close to their father and rightfully so.
I purposely stayed single for quite some time because I knew I wasn't ready. I realized that I wouldn't be doing anyone or myself any favors by getting involved with them at that point. As you know, there's soo much to reflect on with yourself, the failed marriage, and children. My ex moved on very quickly so I've kind of felt the need to offer my kids the opposite. I feel it's me giving them a sense of security and a different perspective of coping skills.
At this point, situations just haven't panned out to even begin mainly because of location. I'm absolutely fine with it though. If it's meant to be, it would happen. There are moments of feeling alone, but they don't rule the day any more and haven't in years. After having tried to determine, with my own understanding, how my life should go....I'm more than willing to just be still and let God take over. I'd rather I wait a long while for one God purposed decision then to make ten mistakes because I'm impatient. I'm grateful for where I'm at right now. I have peace. It's priceless.

I have social anxiety and can not meet people.
Social Anxiety also acts to reduce the qualities in a man that women find attractive.
God has provided a couple of opportunities in my life, but I have been too weak to take advantage of them.

I think I'm single for various factors. The odds are likely against me but that's ok.
I need to break loose of a negative self-image, plus set goals. As much as I would like someone to love me romantically, I have my best friends and family. I can make it as long as I have them around.

Hey there, I am single because I can't find anyone .. I'm in law school and don't have a lot of time to talk to others.. and on op of it I'm shy ... but I would love to be in a relationship, marry, have kids etc... I guess patience is the key.

I'm not married b/c of purely choice.....meaning I chose to be single despite pressures to become more.
Now I'm dating b/c I choose to be with someone that is worth it to me.

Because my interests, my thoughts and my personality are too strange and out there to match with anyone in a deep romantic level. And I wouldn't be happy with just "having someone"...I need that special connection, but I might as well be looking for the Dodo bird.
I am sad.
I am sad.
