Why are you still alone?

It’s safer that way….. Because I choose to be ;-)

@Scooby you never wish to be with someone?

If someone is still alone, there could be many reasons. It sounds like you are wondering why you are still alone.

I want you to know that I believe that not only is there someone out there for you, but there are many someones. I think the quickest way to meet someone is through the internet. It’s a different way of meeting people, but it generally puts you in touch with a larger group of potential partners than limiting yourself to meatspace.

I would use more than dating sites. Any kind of social networking site—Facebook, fluther, etc—can be a place to express yourself and to develop your personality in a way that others can see. Asking questions like this have the potential to get interest. But it can take a long time before people feel like they know you well enough to be interested in you.

I know you’re impatient, and before I ever found someone, I was impatient, too. It seemed like it would never happen, but eventually it did. Now I am blessed with many friends, as well as my wife. It makes my life much nicer. It took 50 years, but here I am. Not that I was alone after the age of 20, or so.

they haven’t found me.

There are alternatives that are worse.

Aren’t we all alone, really?

Better to be alone than to feel alone while around others.

Because people like me are not healthy to be around as lovers even though we may wish to be.

I am waiting for Mr. Right. + I think I might scare boys away.

I like it better this way. I may be overly sensitive and needy, but when it comes down to the hard end of it, I need no one.

I sit here, reading comments, questions and answers and often think “Boy she/he seems really nice: so articulate, so honest, so intelligent, so enthusiastic, so…”
I wish I could get all of you in a room together so you can meet each other. Really!

We are all alone. Came into the world that way, will die that way.

I’m not alone. Just because I’m not in a relationship doesn’t mean I’m alone.
I’ve got plenty of people to love, who love me.
I mean sure, a boyfriend would be nice.
Yes, I do dislike those lonely, weak nights. I wish I could be stronger, yet for some reason I actually desire another person’s company, body warmth, and admiration. But it’s such a nuisance, wanting to be loved…

@Eggie
I have been in relationships, several in fact….. They all ended painfully, particularly my marriage. I have no desire to have my emotions trampled into the dirt ever again :-/ especially by someone I thought I could trust….
Relationships just aren’t for me, I can’t trust anymore… besides I’m happier on my own & life’s a lot less complicated for it.

@chyna “Worried guy is a matchmaker” I guess that is because I like having a parner and can’t imagine not having one.

I have been fortunate (or lucky) but ever since third grade I have always been in a relationship with someone. When we split up due to school, or moving, or job, it was always sad but cordial. I never had a blow out fight, never suffered from abuse, never felt or made my girlfriend feel threatened. There was always genuine affection – that was magical.
I can remember first kiss with Patti and how we would do it often on summer nights. Squeezing each other while hiding in the hedges. We were 11. Don’t anyone dare tell me that puppy love is meaningless. My heat is beating faster now 45+ years later.

I feel there is someone for everyone and want everyone to have someone
Silly me. Go ahead and kick me for being so old fashioned.

By the way, Patti is one of my friends on FB and we still smile when we think about those summers..
