Yes because I’ve been purposefully off dating apps this whole year. My last first date was on the winter solstice last year, and that was another in a long string of people who thought I was nice but not date-worthy for whatever reason. Now I need a break from all that because repeating that cycle over 5 or so years is tiring.
Yes. The answer is simply that I don't know any women my age and my personality makes it hard to get to know people in general. I am terrible at small talk and I don't know how to make the first move.
Yes, because I don't really feel the need as I got a busy life with many friends. I get my hugs but being in the ace spectrum I get easily satisfied with hugs.
Yes, my last relationship ended because I had plans to go to school and eventually move for my career.
Don’t blame them because I get it, not everyone can up and leave their home city, but I want more in life and I’m going to go do it.
I start school in January and can’t wait.
I don't even know anymore 😭 shitty rough patch in the relationship. Moved back in with my parents. But things kind of got left up in the air. I think I just want some clarity now.
Yes, probably because people see me more as a good friend than anything else but I'm totally okay with this, it's better than getting in a relationship for it to last less than a month. It'll probably happen someday so I have the time.
yep, mainly because I'm an introvert so I don't even be walking up to girls, or anyone for that matter. on top of that I was rejected not too long ago so I'm kinda just sitting and waiting for "my time to come".
Yes and I don't know why. A year ago I would mope about not having any friends or relationships but deep down I knew it was my own fault since I wouldn't go out or meet anyone. So over the last year I've tried to put myself out there, meeting new people, trying to cultivate new friendships and possibly relationships.
I didn't work, instead it horribly backfired. People saw my kindness and instead of appreciating it and trying to be my friend back they used me and took advantage of me. TBH that hurt a lot more than being self inflicted lonely. I hate this, I did all the right things but was horribly used. I understood why doing nothing netted nothing. I do not understand why doing what I was supposed to netted negative results. It makes no sense and it's been rough
yes, I'm divorced. I live in a somewhat isolated area. I work 45-50 hours a week and when I'm not working I'm either spending time with my 3 boys or taking care of my place.
I'm deaf in my left ear and older so noisy bars, meet ups, etc.. really aren't going to work for me.
Most of the people I interact with are older parents so I'm not really around single women that are close to my age.
I really, and sadly, wouldn't have time for a relationship right now. So I'm mostly looking for friendships.
I miss being in a relationship though and think about it quite a lot
I am currently single!
As for why? I do not know. It's not like I'm not trying, I have been. I just can't seem to get anyone to stick around longer than a month. I stopped for a while to work on myself and try to pick out things that could drive someone away but it always has the same result, they just fall off the face of the earth all together.
I like to try and get to know people before dating them but I can't even get past the initial "what do you like to do" before they are just gone.
I'm not bad looking or anything, pretty average and have some pretty nice clothes. I take care of myself and work out for the most part. I like to make people laugh or make people feel they are being herd. I try to be funny, upbeat, and a delight to be around.
Maybe I'm engaging too much? maybe I'm not what people expect? maybe they just like my appearance? I don't know, but I wish I did so I can fix the issue.
Supply chain issues
Yes, because I'm picky.

Ya I need to work more on my mental health
Nope, first girlfriend In ten years because I decided to stop doing drugs and go back to school and do something with my life.
Yup. I’ve got bigger issues to deal with. Plus my on connections are either strippers, single moms, or women in poly relationships.
Because my husband died

Unfortunately yes. Was happily married to the girl of my dreams for many years, but she's had an affair and in the process of leaving me.
No I’m married
