I'm single and have for all intents and purposes been so all my life. However I've wanted to get into a relationship for years, I'm just horribly shy and inhibited in that area. It's something I'm working on, but you can't just change it over night.

I'm pretty much in the same boat here. I'm 20 years old and have been single all my life. I'm not exactly looking for a relationship, but I'm open to the idea. Though I'm not really the sociable type. I don't drink, don't attend parties, have no friends outside family and don't go on nights out or anything like that, so I'm unlikely to meet someone any time soon. But we'll see what the future holds.
I'm single, but I've had plenty of relationships in the past. I dunno, none of them really... 'felt right'. Like I would always be plagued with this awful feeling that I was making a mistake.
I don't feel like it's my calling to get married and have kids and all that. All of my instincts tell me that the last thing I need in my life is responsibility for someone else's emotional well-being; I have enough problems as it is. Well, it's not like my life is all that hard or bad, there are billions of people out there who have it worse than me, but I still feel like I need to master myself before I do anything else romantically.
Or maybe I'm just immature and fear responsibility. Maybe it's just my OCD that's giving me those feelings of anxiety. Maybe I just haven't met the right person yet.
...Well, I guess time will tell, eh? :?
I'm trying to escape the classic definition of relationship, but I have my own issues to bring to the table that make it difficult. I get jealous, and if I really like her and feel an emotional connection, I can also get a little needy. This comes down to my own insecurity and doubt in myself. I figure if I can work through that, I can engage in a healthier relationship, and then it won't have to be so conventional.
The thing is, I still dream of finding my blood-soaked wolf princess. I still dream of deep love and a profoundly spiritual connection. I'm perfectly happy waiting for that, though, and working on my own personal growth in the meantime. I want something really intense but also healthy enough to survive. That's going to take time, and I have a lot of growing to do to get there. I was never very good at settling or compromising though.
Single when I need to be

I'm single and always have been.
60% of me isn't interested, the rest is still an anxious and socially awkward teenager with too little experience.
No, but seriously guys, what is CF?

Oh yeah I used to troll there.
Single since 2010. I've only had one "serious" relationship, since then just the occasional date here and there. However I had a thing for about two months last summer with my best friend but it didn't really go anywhere (wish it had though) *cough* friendzoned *cough*, when that ended I had a summer fling in Miami for about 2 weeks. Since then, University has kept me busy. I've been on a couple of dates and met great girls but I can't take that one step to bring myself to go any further and usually just end up making a new friend, I think I'm just not over my friend yet. But I don't mind being single, random hookups at parties and clubs are also fun.
Happily single. :)
We paint this exotic portrait of what a relationship "is" through movies/media, and then we try to replicate that fantasy in our personal lives, setting unreasonable expectations. Or maybe I'm being cynical. But I lived with a girl for two-three years, and I feel like that was "enough." I have no interest in finding a partner anymore. Of course, my mindset could change, but as of now I'd rather live alone with a dog. In terms of a relationship, I think I'd get more satisfaction from raising a child. Actually, I think that's the only way I'd be interested in committing to a relationship--having a child. So since I don't want kids now, I don't want a relationship. Maybe? I'm over-thinking this, probably.
I've been single my entire life. I get a feeling I'm not lovable anyway. I don't think I'm special in any way. I'm 25...........
There is a girl I want but she doesn't want a relationship with anyone and it hurts, I cant see me ever loving someone else as much as I love her. By the way we are best friends and I told her my feelings and shes OK with it at least. She could have rejected me but I knew she never could.
8 years single and i hate every minute of it. and F you if you try to tell me that I'm better off.
Single. Not necessarily 'looking', but open to the right relationship, if it comes around. I've had a few failed relationships that were doomed from the start, and have gotten star-crossed with some great girls with whom I've never really had time enough to build anything solid with, before they moved out of the area. I can honestly say that I'm happily single (as an artist and musician, I have more than enough to occupy my time. And there is nothing wrong with friends with benefits), but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't about ready to find someone who 'gets me' enough dive into relationship territory. I'm really not hard-up for just jumping on the first chick smoking, though. Patience is a virtue, and I'm in no rush. :)
meet plenty of women i liked, just never one that i can develop a serious connection with.
single all my short life, i'm 22.
too weird to live, too rare to die hahahahahahaha! fuck my life
I've been with the same girl for 16 years. Oh how I wish I was young and single again, this thread depresses me, lol..!
