then get out into the world and make some moves. take the annitiative and be the first one to say hello or whatever. its become so tense and volatile in the dating world that men just flat our refuse to do cold calling or cold approaching anymore because 90% of the time, it just wont work. its just how we are built.
women, because they hardly ever really get picked up by strangers but usually date someone they have had constant contact with ( classmate, co-worker, freind of family or friend, ect.)
And men because we have just changed in the way we try to find mates, which is based on women react to our advances and tactics.

I’d rather be single than turn into a person I am not, (mean, bitter, angry often) for the sake of having a mate
I’d rather be single than staying in a relationship because of time and not wanting to seem like I failed in my relationship in the eyes of others.
I’d rather be single than being in someones corner 110% only for them to not be found when I need them.
I’d rather be single and smile often, then be in a relationship and always frown and cry.
I’d rather be single than feel, he’d rather do everything under the sun instead of spend a little quality time with me.
I’d rather be single and pursue my dreams than be with someone that’s a dream killer and doesn’t have dreams or believe in me.

I get that question a lot as well and at first I took it as a dig. Like- why are you single? as in what’s wrong with you! You must be crazy, psyco, weird. But t I get the question why are you single followed with- you’re attractive, funny, smart, hardworking etc. which I take as a compliment. Then I think to myself if I am all these great things then why DON’T I have someone. I have come to realize that handsome and gorgeous people are single. Smart, witty, intelligent and fun people are single. HELL great people are single. Just because you are all these great things doesn’t necc. mean you’re gonna be taken all the time. I am single, because I simply haven’t met anyone that I want to be in a relationship with. yes it’s that simple. when the right guy comes a long, I too will welcome him with open arms. Until that time, I am single and don’t plan on settling. I know who I want, and when God sends me that person I’ll be no longer single. There is no long complicated explanation lol

You really hit home with this subject. I hate when people ask why are you single and then follow it up with a list of attributes that you possess as if those are reason enough for you to be in a relationship. Speaking for myself: I would rather be single than settle for any less than I deserve.

I like your list, I think if everyone had some “realistic” standards when thinking about relationships there wouldn’t be as much confusion and/or drama.

Serious, committed, can someone please explain what a deep relationship is, and as posted aren’t serious an committed the same thing?

I agree with the list. I think it could have been best summarized by simply stating, “I’d rather be single than to settle.” As I mature, things that were on my list of “must have/do” are no longer important. But the list of things I cannot accept has become not necessarily longer but more thorough.

I hate being single, but I would rather be single than deal with a bunch of women that either don’t like men or cannot appreciate me for the good man that I am.
