Being single really suits me at the moment...

I’ve had a few girlfriends over the years, but they always seem to hold me back or get in the way (even though they were super lovely ladies)...

I like the idea of settling down, but equally like the idea of being single for the next 10-20 years

Don't feel bad about it. And don't let society pressure you into wanting "normal" 70% of people I know in relationships are unhappy and would leave if they had the courage or financial ability. Think about what makes you happy. Fuck every one else "
Thanks and a positive way of thinking. Just feel lost on the weekends when all my mates are off out or doing couple stuff

yep im in ........

lived alone most of my life and single .

just hasnt happened a relationship , if it wants to it will is my attitude.

lifes not so bad living alone , struggle with bills a bit sometimes , apart from that its ok .

probably spent to much time on the computer though instead of doing things .

mind you i stand on my own in the pub as well.

maybe just the way im made but i never worry about it .

I've been officially single for almost 8 years..... had a couple of brief 'relationships' in the meantime but also had a couple of celibate phases.....

There's 11 years between my sister and I but I know my mum found it a pain having got me to secondary school age and then having to do the whole newborn to school age thing again!

I feel like I've been a mum to my sister, was always me picking her up from places early hours of the morning or me she would call if she was in trouble!

I was staunchly single and always said it would take someone perfect for me to get into a relationship, thinking that the perfect woman doesn't exist.

Then maid walked into my life, and I fell for her with little or no resistance.

There can be a danger of losing something good, just for the sake of committing to not committing, I loved my single life, but this is like life plus, I don't think I would have given up singledom for anyone else

Long enough to know I am content with my life...most of the time; that my dogs are always honest and loyal and happy to see me.

And that it would take not someone perfect ...they don't exist...but someone who completely blew me away before I would change things.

But that someone....maybe I have already lost the chance...or maybe tomorrow...

Who of us ever knows...

"I'll be approaching 6years of single life,finding it harder and harder to let people in and even find someone. What's everyone else's situation."

Interesting topic. I love single life but really want a conventional relationship

,have a family life etc. I get worried sometimes as I get older, i definitely want to settle down. I started a relationship 2 years, we met on a night out, it went on for over 6 months. During that time, I hid my profile, did not log on, and stayed away from all swinging related stuff.

Then she mentioned that her dad who lives in sheffield wanted to meet me and invited us for the weekend

. I thought this was getting serious, time to tell her, make or break.

Unfortunately when I told her she just stormed out and never picked up my calls. Her sister did text me with the word 'u are really sick. Get some help, u prick' and 2 days later she put the keys in the letter box. I went though difficult time and was really missing her but hey ho it wasn't meant to be. I came back with a vengeance

I’ve never lived with anyone (except family obviously) and the longer I live alone the more unlikely it is that I’ll ever be able to live with someone else.

I can’t decide whether I’m sad about that or not. I don’t really think about it in those terms. I like my own company and I’ve never felt lonely so I’m not really sure I need anyone in my life on that sort of permanent basis. Content I think is the word.
