YouMeUs: I think "so far" are the operative words for me as to why I'm still single.
There's no women at all in my area that I could date. Either they're married, too young or if there really are any, they never get out to mingle.
And then there's you lovely ladies here on this site but you're all "so far" away!
Now if I could only invent that transporter device from Star Trek, maybe things could change for the better!
Yep, I learned early on when I joined CS that distance was a huge factor in preventing a lot of folks from getting together. Some have managed it quite well but this took time, patience, trust, money, ability to leave family, friends and commitments to name just a few of the challenges. Any two people willing and able to get through all that deserves a special award aside from the fact that they have each other and the struggle paid off. Bottom line though, if someone wants something badly enough, they will go to the ends of the earth to have it.

OK, so I'll go grab my Ugg Club and come drag you back to my cave!
Joking aside, I know exactly what you're saying. I wanted to get away from that city rat race that I've lived for far too long, and return to the country, which I did. I got exactly what I wanted; Serenity, totally at peace and no longer having to be someone that others demanded me to be. But I didn't factor in the zero to no probability of finding a potential relationship here.

Ugg club...will I have any hair left by the time you get me to your cave?
Yep, there it is, a trade off to seek out serenity and faced with a different set of difficulties. We just can't win for losing eh?

Nah, I wouldn't harm a single strand of your pretty hair. More like I'd toss you over my shoulders and club anything that got in the way, getting back to my cave. Can ya just see the headlines reporting such an event?
But it is a trade off that I don't regret at all. Besides, I'm in a far better frame of mind, so that helps my chances a wee bit.

Aww, how sweet is that.
You've found your contentment and that's all that matters. Anything beyond that is a bonus and it will happen for you one day...ya just gotta let it.
There is NOT such a thing "as an acceptable time period for being single"", as well ""as being in a pair"".
tobecontinued: Just wondering what's an acceptable time period for being single and if someone is over that does it mean that they suck at dating or other issues at play? Just thinking here lol.
They are many of us,thinking like you. So i take the liberty, to nominate you, as our PRESIDENT.
jac_the_gripper: I dunno about 'really happy', but are many people 'really happy' when in a relationship?
Sometimes being single can feel like hard work, but so can being in a relationship. I can't say I look at being in a relationship as some kind of utopia which is going to save me from the destitution of singledom.
All I can say is being single is right for me right now and I'm not in the right place for a relationship right now. I'm okay with that.
In a way it was me that chose to be single. But the options I was given were really not acceptable on so many levels that it was all more of a manipulation, I merely responded to the farce in the only way I saw plausible. On staying single? I thought I could say but evidently I have not met someone that also values a clear line of communication while at the same time holds each others' interest in that unique and so desired way.
