Hi all... there are many of reasons why I'm single right now. I work a lot, family/ friends not approving of someone I'm dating (very LONG story behind this one), me being "too independent", not being able to trust what the guys I've been with say or do, and tired of feeling used by the guys I've dated. (just to name a few) But it's all good... life happens and you move on and learn to deal with it
I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time I was sayin' the right things, but I must have used the wrong line I was on the right trip, but I must have used the wrong car Head is in a bad place and I wonder what it's good for I was in the right place, but it must have been the wrong time My head is in a bad place, but I'm havin' such a good time Grateful Dead
I chose 'other' because I don't know!?! I suspect it's because I see someone I may be interested in, who's not interested in me; and others express interest in me and I'm not interested in them. I think it takes a lot of time and effort, which I'm very willing to give, but a lot of people don't seem to have one and not willing to give the other. I'm REALLY open to most....I'm just interested in finding someone I can talk to, laugh with and I want to kiss at the end of the day....SO....my answer is I still don't know!
I do think it's interesting that so many people voted they know what they want and won't settle for less....that's kind of my theory - that so many people are waiting for someone 'better'...and waiting and waiting and waiting...

Maybe experience has taught them that settling for less doesn't work!
settling for less....vs....being too (maybe unreastically) picky....fine line. I actually saw one profile for a lady that was looking for a man between the ages of 43 and 43...that's pretty specific!

I used to think anyone would do as long as they were agreeable and clean and intelligent in a general way, because relationships were all about making things fit and working at things. Where I ran into trouble with that theory was, that people don't have the same degree of willingnes to put themselves outside their comfort zone, nor, sometimes do they agree with each other on even the basic things, such as liking what the other person looks like. I know that some people believe that there is a perfect person just for them out there, but I look at the statistics....... Not such an idealistic picture there.
I think I am single for much the same reasons most other people are single. We can't find someone with the same basic mindset on what constitutes daily living.
