Single and happy, why not

I've been single in the vanilla world for around seven years now, and may I say very happy too.

But in the last 12-18 months the same question keeps popping up from my male friends partners.

"Why are you still single, your a nice guy"

With this pitiful looking expression on there faces.

You singletons out there, do you experience this as well.

From the I am in a relationship happy brigade, so why aren't you.

I do keep getting the same thing!

"You're so lovely, why has nobody snapped you up yet?!'

And on here I get 'what's a nice girl like you doing on here?' Is there certain criteria to pass that makes me not nice and ok to be on here? Lol

I get it all the time

people asking me if I've found anybody yet and being told it's ok there's somebody out there for me and I will find love one day

a lot just can't accept some people don't want anybody in their life's, I know so any people who ping ping from one relationship to another some just have a need to be with somebody and as soon as one relationship ends they are actively looking for the next, not all of us have that need or want

I have only been in one relationship in my life and I never intend to go there again

I get this a fair bit but most people I know have stopped their sorry attempts to influence me to match up. Sure we all get it, 'you're such a lovely person' etc.

I like my own space, I largely get the sex I need, don't need to answer to anyone, no-one hogs the bed, don't get the hassle from forgetting anniversaries etc and my money is all mine to spend as I wish.

Single is the new married.

the only down side to being single is not having regular sex but I never had that when I was married so it's not something I miss as such but regular sex would be nice

I had the same

I'm fed up of the pitying looks I get now a third relationship has failed. The "oh why can't she just find a nice one" look. Cause my knight in shining armour's horse has a flat shoe that's why and is detained.

Until then I like being single not having to answer to anyone is great!

Just because a relationship failed doesn't mean either of you are 'not nice'. I never understand why those people say that.

I think you are LUCKY in love. You found 3 men you wanted relationships with. Most people can't even find one. x

When I tell people I'm single they often say how sorry they are to hear it - as if someone's died. There are both good and bad to being single and a relationship. I try and find the best in either as and when they happen.

Exactly thank you. Admittedly 2 of them were bad choices the 1st of the 3 I was with for 7 years and married. If was a big shame it ended but it was part of my life curve. I'm happy to stay single till the next one comes along.

Recently read a status on fb "I'd rather be alone and happy than attached and with the wrong person " very true x

Agree.

All ex's are bad choices... or they wouldn't be ex's.

Just where I need to be.

I am happy to be single. From 18 to 38 I was in a relationship and then 6 years in another. So now it's coming up to 2 I have been single.

I find people in relationships are always trying to pair me up to date men. They think that because they are happy to be with someone that I should want it. My mum was the worst as she has been with my dad for nearly 50 years and thought that I needed a man in my life. Actually sat and explained that all my adult life I had been exclusive and with just that man now I want some fun and finding myself. I like the freedom of being single, eventually when or if I'm ready I may decide I want to have another relationship but at moment just enjoying myself.

I have been single for approx. 6 months and loving it in was in 2 year relationship which was extremely toxic and it wasn't until I got out of it I realised how unhappy I was.

Previous to that I was married for 7 years it had its good times and best thing that came from it were my daughters. It didn't work out due to external interference.

I am at a stage in my life now where I am responsible for my own destiny, I have the responsibility of my daughters and that will never change, before anything I am a father and love being a father

I'm loving being my own man, and I want to stay that way. Single and happy is perfect

Was single and haply for a long time, over ten years, then updating popped my current partner. I think the key is to not need someone just for the sake of it. Neither of us were looking and I certainly did not think I could ever be with anyone after being on my own, making my own decisions and not being accountable to anyone for such a long time. However, I have met someone who totally respects me for who I am and likewise. Neither of us has had to change or compromise and it all comes naturally. Some of the comments from singles make it seems like the only way to be free is to be single, not the case for me.

Did kinda of go off topic there. Do get a huge amount of pressure from family and extended family, they don't seem to get you can be happy and single

"Are you still going on dates?" (Well kinda I guess lol)

"I've got someone I could set you up with"

Thanks but no thanks.

People do though. One of my partners is a triathlete and we see each other around his (punishing) training schedule and work. If you enjoy someones company then you understand things like that about them. I know he prioritises training above me, and I'm ok with that. There are things I prioritise above him.

Love being single. Still great friends with ex and have nights out on the Mod scene. He wouldn't understand this site, he's very traditional/vanilla. Had people ask me on here why I'm single. One word answer, Choice. Although I must admit I've been seeing a rather tasty chap for last few months. Not exclusively though.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying its wrong to put yourself first I got called a sad bastard by a guy on here the other day because I turned down meeting him as he wanted to meet on my weight day, I go to slimming world and going every week to class is important to me

I'm just saying by definition a hobby is something you do in your spare time so if going to the gym is the main focus in your life and everything else fits round that it's not a hobby like you said its people that are the hobby

Who can appreciate the stench of your farts when you are living on your own?its a lot funnier offending the fucker sat next to you than just yourself.

Being single is ok if you're getting laid regular,if not it can be a bit of a ball filling and not emptying them enough frustration.theres only so much porn and wanks in a day you can have.

So it comes down to farts and sex and how you can flip scenarios...farting next to the fucker sat by you,or sat by the fucker who thinks it's hilarious to fart all night....

I find him gorgeous *because* he trains hard and is dedicated to the things he enjoys. If he didn't train hard, he wouldn't be the same person and I might feel differently about him.

But then again, I used to have a habit of dating bodybuilders when I was a personal trainer and a power lifter myself... And before that I played water polo in the national team. So I understand dedication and putting sport first.

That's right as your used to date bodybuilders so u already know what kinda needs in the relationship with one and it would be a lot diferent to date someone that didn't do bodybuilding.

It's taken me a long time to realise I don't need a relationship & that I'm actually too busy with work, my boys & their activities to have one. This may change as they get older. The 6 weeks I've been on fab are the happiest I've had in nearly 4 years. I feel alive. Give me that feeling any day!!!!

After a few bad relationships I have a friend with benefits who I see occasionally, its not exclusive on her part though, I think she has 2 other regular guys, I know its one for definite. It suits us both

"Aren't you ever tempted to say "Oh I'm too busy having sex with lots and lots of people, to settle down".

If that were the case I might use that line Amy

I get it from my friends in relationships and I have been single for a long time. My group is changing though, a few are sadly either already or in the process of splitting up. So I do not feel the odd one out. I enjoy the freedom too much of being single and not having to consider someone else when I organise something. Don't get me wrong, I love the company of the opposite sex, but I value my space. I have two very close male friends, so I can borrow them, when I need a male point of _iew on something. It all seems to work well.

"No-one ever asks why I'm single. I think deep down they know "

I bloody knew there was a reason we get on so well - same here :- D (although now I'm in a secret relationship with a married guy, I'm kinda wanting to shout it from the rooftops so it's a good job you won't mind me doing all the hearts and bluebirds shite when I see you next week )

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

No one ever expects me to be in a relationship so I don't get asked.

Just recently I have had a few people who have met a partner when they're both in their 60s and 70s telling me that it might still happen for me.

"Having been in a very long, and most of the time, happy marriage, and gone through a very painful separation, it amazes me how many of my friends try to 'set me up' with someone suitable, know it's good intentions etc, but Noooooo !!!!! I'm loving being my own man, and I want to stay that way. Single and happy is perfect

I even get it from my daughter she keep trying to get me on a dating site "

I know the intentions are good, but don't you wish they'd take the hint

I get when I say I've never been married or lived with anyone after my first boyfriend. The standard response is, 'what, never?'

Caz, just let Taz be in charge for a Swingfields. Wyrd will cope with that better than this singing in love thing that's going on.

If I let Taz out, it's a bloody struggle getting it back in...may just have to let Daz out - single girls and wives, who fancies a shag?

Having been married twice...well I still am to number 2.....now single four years. I'd pick being part of a couple everytime...sharing things...waking together...deep conversations...having kids...can't be beaten. I miss it all greatly..I have freedom....but sharing is so much better....

gosh...that would take an essay. Having a business and working together then losing your business...the money worries..losing your home...caring for your mum with severe dementia. ..life gets complicated and you attempt to deal with so much....too much. I lost it all...well I have ywo awesome sons..

I attended a family event this weekend and found myself feeling jealous of the couples there as they had those things i dont have maybe its that settling down urge that you get but just feel like i need a partner

I'm single and often get the.. Why are you still single..

I'm single because it suits me. However I've recently met someone who gives me the good parts of a relationship without the crap bits.

Yes by my parents as they are worried I won't have children etc, I don't like being single but I haven't met the right guy I seem to attract idiots.
