I've been single for twenty years now, which is since I was born. it's not by choice, but I just don't seem to run into a girl for me. It's a bit frustrating to be single for me, I should enjoy it and just chase the women and have steaming hot no-strings attached sex, but I never had sex either. Sometimes I meet a girl while going out and we kiss for one night, but then when I call to set up a date, they always just want to be friends and I'm just totally sick of hearing that every time!

I guess I should be happy that I'm still so unexperienced, I don't know what I'm missing!

That's like almost the exact same thing for me, I am 20 too, and am sick of being single. I have no luck with girls :(

Last one I asked was single too, but she didnt want to go out because we work together or something...

Haha, glad to see I'm not alone. I've been single all 20 years of my life, but I've had sex before. This girl and I got together for a week in June, but since then she hasn't called me, nor have I called her. She didn't come back to school this year, so I guess it's for the best.

Yeah, being single rules. I think what every guy will say is that you have more money to spend on what you want. And it's a great thing. Money that I spend on DVDs, comic books and videogames would be spent taking the lady out to go see Wimbledon or other similar bullshit. I might was well just throw my paycheck away.

I would never stay in a long term relationship. Ever. Never have and never will. My friends will usually take bets to see how long any relationship lasts with me. I am not afraid to say I have major commitment problems. Anytime the "L-word" is dropped, it makes me wicked uncomfortable. That's a sure sign that the relationship is a day or two away from ending for me.

Single since the mid-late 90s, by choice. A conversation with my grandchild-craving mother puts it in good perspective...

her: "Don't you want there to be someone special, someone just for you?"

me: "Not really."

her: "Don't you want to wake up in the morning and see the one you love next to you?"

me: "What I really want is to have a bit more time to myself."
LOL! My sentiments exactly. I've never brought a girl home to meet my folks. They've talked on the phone to some of my past gfs, but I never brought one home. My mom ocassionally asks me if I'm gonna get married, and I'm like, "hell no." I'm way too selfish to keep any gf for long. I'll probably have a bastard kid at some point (probably unintentionally, although I'd do it if the girl is willing), but that's as much as I want to do. The family name won't be extended by me, that's for sure. It's sad when I think of it like that, but I can't woman tolerating me for more than a year. My longest relationship was a year and a half, and that was off and on. Before that, it was only 6 months. I'm just not long-term material.

I say "I love you" real easily. It doesn't mean a whole lot to me I guess. I say it to my car, and my weed too, so go figure. :lol What gets me is having to deal with the niggling little things people do that piss me off. After a while, I become kinda distant, and then it's all over from there. I have a short attention span I think. That or I lack tolerance. Whatever the case may be, I can get over the big love hurdle, but I'm always derailed by all the other commitments. PEACE.

I'd go for a long term relationship if and only if the other person was into the same stuff hobby-wise as me. Thus our combined income would be used on dvds, games, comics and stuff without having to waste money on random crap to keep each other happy.

Wanted to be single, but shit just happened =/. I cockblocked this girl two times, she was a good friend who I got to know better towards the end of August, went clubbing...she got a little "drunk" off of 151 and she wanted to go back to her place, but I wouldnt have it since shes a senior and I dont want her friends knowing. Happened again and I stopped it once more....then the third time I was drunk at a party at her place and so was she...I just went with the flow and somehow we ended up screwing and waking up the next morning being like WTF. Then after that it happened again..was kind of just mindless sex after awhile..but after a span of 3 weeks I realized I wasnt seeing any other girl..and I cant do the whole fuck buddy thing so I had her either choose between stopping this or a relationship. She made her choice and so now Ive been off the market for 2 whole weeks.

Stupid eh. I just dont have it in me to be a dick =/

I actually got divorced this August after being married for 5 years (with her for 7). So I'm single for the first time in a long while. I've dated a bit in the past few months, but I really just need to be single for awhile to get my bearings again. The hardest part for me is going from getting sex daily to no sex at all, that was rough as hell. Plus, sleeping alone didn't go good at first, I tossed and turned for a whole month.

I have no problem living alone with the pets, but I'm sure I'll find myself in a serious relationship again before I know it. I just like women too much, and I really liked being married. It's more fun to share life with someone than to be live alone IMHO.

In a good relationship at the moment, although I was for single for more than a year before it. I've always got no money and my girlfriend seems to buy me a hell of a lot more than I spend on her; you don't have to take them out to dinner every week people.

Me too :) I've been single for the first 22 years of my life (mostly by choice), but now I've found "The One" and we've gotten engaged. Loneliness sucked.

I'll probably be single and/or virgin for life since my stand on relationships usually range from "meh" to "damn, even thinking about it fatigues me". It's hard enough getting some alone time as is; a relationship would kill it with fire, so no go for me.

Single and never had a gf before. But that's coz I was a noob in the past. Things have changed though and I'm playing my own game now. Shouldn't be too long before I set things straight......

yeah sometimes I feel the same way.....my might as well have been dead throughout all of college as I didn't have any life, let alone any girls in my life. Things are different now, and they don't seem absolutely hopeless like they used to when I was I suppose chronically depressed, but sometimes life just seems like such shit that it'll never happen, especially when I'm reminded that I'm 23 with no relationsihp/romantic experience whatsoever. Because life IS shit. Ugh, just feeling like shit right now.....*calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean...*

Reading through these posts, I see a lot of referrals to "GF", "Girlfriend", and the like, from the male perspective. Now, knowing that we DO have female readers of these forums, do you mean to tell me that any of them that MAY be reading this thread are either

A) Not Single
or
B) Too Scared to Post, fearing the response?

I guess knowing the populace, any girls posting would probably be met with "Do you live near me?", "Are you hot?", or the like. But I must say, it would be interesting to see the female stance on this subject, from any that may be so inclined.

Wow, I'm just like you, minus the depression, I used to have it, but not anymore. Maybe its the medication I'm on or the fact that I for some reason no longer consider relationships to be of any meaningful value (especially considering their time consumption). But now that I've gotten a clear career path going for me, relationships just seem so insignificant now.

I see, well, I only said the path was clear, not easy. Its a very tough industry (Videogame) to break into and to work in, and its very likely that there'll be many holes in the road ahead. Still, its something I enjoy doing and that matters a lot.

I guess it's about finding your focus in life. Chicks should never be a focus. Reflect on yourself and make some life goals.

I know that being in a serious long-term relationship is overrated.....I hear it all the time on these boards. But is it wrong to really want to have some kind of intimate relationship with a girl?
No, but let me ask you something. What do you do to meet women? i see you on the boards a lot at night, and that's time you could be spending out of the house, which is where women tend to be. But seriously, make it a habit to speak to as many women as you can, even if you're not interested in them. It'll give you more confidence in talking to women, which is the problem here. You come across in these threads as a completely spineless, indecisive, pussy. i'm not saying that to be harsh, it's just true. i don't want that in a woman (been there) and i'm sure most women don't want that in a man. You've got to reach a point where you're just sick of not having anyone, and you actually do something about it. Go out to places you like and have an interest in, and casually strike up conversations with women, with no intent of asking them out. Just do it and see where the conversation goes. At some point, you'll make a connection. It's all about numbers. The more you approach, the greater your chances and experience.

I've never had a girlfriend, but it's pretty much by choice. I've only found two girls in my lifetime that fit the base idea of what I'm looking for, but even then our lives were headed in different directions so I didn't go for it. I've learned to be fine with being single.

I'm single since about.. 9 hours ago
We were seeing each other for a year but it was time to move on (for me anyway), I hope I've done the right thing.

Nope, different guy. We're friends but there were several reasons why it wasn't going to work, his tobacco use being one of them.
