there are a couple good reasons I can think of.

The MAIN one is my past relationships especially my last one have been really bad. so i have a bad mindset.

I'm not really good with commitment and I get bored easily.

Im not looking either.

(Dont take this the wrong way please)
Is this a rule that we are supposed to be with someone? Like everyone wants other people to be in a relationship.

I havent been in a relationship for 3-4 years(going on dates yes, and NOTHING has became of it). I just dont see the point of it really.

No offence, but Im am WAY happier NOW then I was when I was in a relationship.

One main reason...





























I think a lot of straight people take for granted the fact that you can meet people through friends, family or work. If you're gay, you're less likely to meet potential partners through these channels.

You need money to socialise to meet people.

You need money to pay for dates once you've met somebody.

You need money to keep your relationship interesting by socialising with other couples, taking holidays, dining out, etcetera...

I just don't have any money.

If I had £100 in the bank right now, I'd get dressed and go out. But I haven't, so I can't.

Where did you hear that nonsence at?

I need money to keep the relationship going?I always thought it was being interested in the same thing, attraction to the other person.
Some women dont need money to be impressed with, its called if you see something in the other person"the spark" will make it interesting.

Even I dont like dining out, taking holidays and the like.

I make my own money, and that isnt what I look for IF I want a relationship.

If impressing someone with money IS what your desire, then your missing something else in life and that is actual love from another that will accept you for who you are(inside and outside).

To those who are single and not in relationship, why is that?

It isn't exactly "nonsence" when you can't even afford the bus fare into town.

I thought you had a full-time job?

Yeah, but it's very low-paid. I had to take a pay-cut and transfer to a filing clerk position (or face redundancy) in January.

After I've paid all my bills, loans and rent, I'm left with about £200.00 a month for food, travel, clothing, toiletries, cigarettes, socialising, home-cleaning & laundry, etcetera...

I never spend more than £30.00 a month on food. I spend another £20.00 on toiletries and homecare & laundry. I try to get out twice a month which can cost between £30.00 to £50.00 a time. I walk to and from work.

I've just applied for a position as a clerical assistant and think I've got it, I can't wait.

I hope you get the job.

Erm, I think I dont get out as much as I should and Im very shy.

That's some pretty serious partying though.

It's really, really not. A taxi into town can cost £6.00 there and £6.00 coming back. I smoke more when I'm drinking - even with the smoking ban - so I'll go through a pack of cigarettes which is about £4.50. A pint of lager or glass of red wine is around £2.70 a time - so if I have about five drinks, that's another £13.50... In total, that's £30.00.

If you then factor in a meal (or a gift if it's somebody's birthday), that takes it over £50.00.

In any case, I can't afford to go out at all this month. I skipped bills in June and July so that I could by my mum a sixtieth birthday present in June and I've had to catch-up this month. I got paid on the 15th, today is the 19th and I have about £40.00 in the bank which will buy me nearly 200 cheap cigarettes. And then I won't have any cash again until September 15th, when I'll have to start buying Christmas presents for my nephews and nieces.

Boys around here suck 2

A million-and-one reasons.


Teenage Years - shy, innocent, never thought about sex, was too busy living in my own little dreamworld, no-one touched me with a bargepole


Twenties - same as above, minus the innocent bit. And the bargepole. The twenties were very much my 'party' years - finding out what I liked, what I didn't like, enjoying myself. Exploring. If the right man had come along I would've settled down; but I didn't really know what I wanted and I knew - above all else - I had to be happy with myself first. I thought I wanted to settle down on many occasions; in retrospect, I realise I wasn't ready for it. At all. But just the fact that *anyone* was interested in me was mindblowing.


Thirties - same as above but I am far more content with who I am, compared to my teens/twenties. A long way to go, still, but I now realise that even if that guy comes along at a time I don't feel ready for it, well, that's the time that guy came along. I don't expect my life to be absolutely perfect, first, in the way I would like it to be.



Add to that: shyness, fear of rejection, low self-esteem, going for the wrong types, being attracted to people who weren't interested and vice versa... the same reasons as everyone else, really. But I am immensely happy being single - I hate to think I might die without ever experiencing a true love affair but I will never, ever 'settle'. I'd rather be on my own than with someone for the sake of it.
