    Why I am single. The guy who is now my ex I had wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Loved him deeply but cos of complications, he left me. So I'm single again. I don't want a boyfriend yet as I am getting my life back slowly but surely and I would like to meet a nice guy who wants the same things out of life as I do.
    I do prefer long term relationships.

    Ooooh, well la-di-fookin'-da look at me with all my sexings and stuff - no blue balls for me - i get loving so I do ... etc etc

    :(

    Well it's not something that happens every week, so when you get some, you have to boast a little. God knows when I'll get some again, as I will probably **** up this evening. It's inevitable. :pac:

    Now is just not the right time for me. I need to be more financially stable as I here they cost alot these days. I also work the majority of the time. A 15-16 hours 7 days a week job is not as fun as it sounds. Although in the winter, I only spend about 8 hours or so a day working.

    Ironically funny. I tried not to laugh, but failed:)

    Its an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction. Textbook def. There is a bit more to it than that, suffice to say that I can at times appear an insensitive prick. You know when your girl comes home with a new haircut, well like it or not tis always best to say "Wow honey, that looks great"...well I can't seem to manage these little fabrications. I mean the look on her face is funny and all...I digress...for this and many other reasons like it, I am single.

    It don't pay to tell your girl the truth about the small seemingly insignificant things, however I never seem to learn. :D

    Just got divorced. Drink too much. Standards pretty high. Have semi-relationships with 2 women right now. Wouldn't settle with either though so need to stop it. Don't know what I want in life. Like being with my friends a lot as opposed to girlfriends. Get bored with sex with same woman after short time.
    All of the above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,953 ✭✭✭Vinta81


    Cause I'm too busy being promiscuous.

    Well I'm sure we all have our secrets, I don't advertise these things when I'm creepin' on girls! The anonymity of the internet allows me to tell the utmost truth and not have to worry about people's reactions :D

    Single parent with two kids.. very hard to a) get out for nights out and meet new people.. and b) very hard to meet someone who would be willing to take on a ready made family (as I ain't popping out any more!! :D)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,647 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Because the only women I attract are not single and desperately want to just be my friend :(

    I'm not great at meeting people in real life and have trust issues. Also, I tend to attract women that I'm not attracted to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭Odats


    Single as just the way I like it at the moment would like to settle down eventually but like the way I can just up and leave in the morning and go to another country etc

    Basically because you have to account for each other in your plans. I'd figure if you don't then whats the point of a relationship. Of course, yea there's a balance, but that part of it is there. Now in the early days of being in mad pash love that's fine even welcome, its down the line where it can get restrictive. Especially if a few years down the line, you see the diffs in each other that rankle.

    Look at PI etc and you'll notice the pretty obvious pattern of breakups around the three year mark. The honeymoons over and people figure, nah not worth continuing. Others continue as they may figure there's no alternative(more chance of splitting at 25 than at 35) and the lucky few IME are actually compatible. Its a helluva emotional and time investment and leap of faith. An investment I would be very wary of making again.


    It depends. I know people who had a much better social life after 30 than before. More men than women though. In general I would be far more concerned to be a single woman at 35 than a man. TBH if I had a daughter I'd advise her to get somewhat settled into something long term before 30, not after. While I do know plenty of women who got loved up at 30, 40 or 50, their choices are less and it's much harder. With a son I wouldnt be nearly as concerned unless he was a more passive shy guy.

    Thats a big statement Wibbs. I was the woman who settled down before 30 and it did'nt work out. Now in my more recent experiences of dating, the men i have come accross are generally between ages of 32 to 45. These men have what i have come to call " The Fear " and that is the fear of not meeting someone and being alone for the rest of their lives. So i think your sole concerns for the single woman at 35 may be a little unfounded, there seem to be plenty of men who feel the same way !


    Oh, and just to add , the choices are plenty for the older woman, you just have to look in the right places !

    YA! that's what we need!

    For some reason I only attract guys that I've no attraction to at all.That is with the exception of the two boyfriends I've had. but ya mostly it's either men that are a good bit older than me, or too young.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Single because it's fair more fun then he alternative.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 195 ✭✭bigtuna


    I attract guys who I have no interest in. When I tell them this they seem to think I'm playing hard to get. I couldn't be arsed with games. I just don't fancy you.

    Didn't read the whole thread... too much ...
    but I'm finally and happily single because Irish men are crap - incapable to love, to listen, to commit without being clingy.
    Or they expect after a few months to get married and being looked after. And they are useless in practical ways. Mammie's boys basically.

    No wonder there are so many lonely single men in Ireland. Maturity seems to be a foreign concept in Ireland.

    Certainly not true of all Irish men, and maybe it's you, not your exes? You are, after all, what they all have in common...
