Why are you single?

[FizzyBubbleTea 41]

I'm single mainly to work on my self worth. Which is going splendidly and might end up jumping back into the dating pool sometime soon.

[Rixton 1,105]

I am single because I had bad experiences in dating.
Plus I am not very good in social stuff.

It seems I always miss my train, or when I'm finally get on, I just jump right off of it.

It's been like that for my whole life tbh. I ether waiting for the right moment and miss my chance or just can't maintain a good relationship for long.

I think I will be alone for the rest of my life. but it's ok, I guess.

It is not ok. No creature is intended to be alone for ever. The problem is with this ugly world.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I don't need humans. I have Twilight. 

[O-78 28,606]

I'm not single, I've got Fluttershy! 

[Thuja 3,659]

I'm still single because I feel like no one will ever be interested in me.  I'm probably going to be single forever, or something....

[Angle Alastor 3,805]

I’m single becouse , I think I’m just bad flirting or something becouse it’s been about 4 years or so , not sure how long but I am still searching and not giving up ^^ just as long as I get to know someone for a while and gain some trust lol :3

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Because I don't look like Brad Pitt.

[MidnightDawn 500]

I’m single cuz I’m only 14. TO YOUNG TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

[Cash In 22,309]

Lots of reasons, but mostly because I choose to stay single. Besides, I need to focus on my own life before even thinking about pursuing a relationship.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I don't know why, I guess it's because I don't socialize that much so I don't get to know anyone really well.

[CatCat 1,118]

Because I’m at this point just waiting and seeing if anything presents itself

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

A lot of reasons. To sum it up; because I'm me  But even if by some miracle (or curse, from the other person's perspective) someone someday likes me that much, my insecurities and such would probably keep us from dating.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

Because no one in their right mind would be interested in me. Having me as a girlfriend would basically be like having a pet.

[Emerald Claus 24,868]

I'm single because I've never been interested in any boy who has asked me out.

No comment............

Surprised I haven't given any sort of answer here yet.

There are a lot of reasons, but, I think the biggest ones are the fact that I don't socialize a whole lot, and when I do, I tend to be quite a bit socially awkward. In addition to that, when I was younger and first started trying to find love, I pretty much always felt like I had to have a girlfriend, even if I never knew WHY, often ending up with more crushes than relationships, and this was well before I got into a relationship I would consider truly meaningful. Not to mention my multiple failed relationships, including one big one that really affected me.

Decided to spoiler my relationship stories because although they are relevant to why I'm still currently single, they're long, and not everyone wants to read them. Warning, wall of text ahead:

Spoiler

 

The first girl I was in a relationship with openly said that she was also dating someone else at the same time as me, which I did not like very much, and I think it pretty much already damaged me quite a bit for all future relationships and it did end up hurting the friendship we had before, and the second girl I was in a relationship with did not feel very genuine at all and her "friends" basically pressured us to kiss and kept treating the whole relationship like something out of a Disney movie, and very soon after, she broke up with me, which I was actually okay with due to how I felt that the relationship wasn't genuine anyway.

Now we move on to my third and last relationship I was in... It was a long distance relationship, and we met over a Brony website. Unlike previous relationships, it did feel genuine to me, and we both did care a lot about each other and as far as I was aware, there wasn't any cheating going on. We met on the New Years Eve of 2016, which was a very lonely time for me, and I really wanted to spend it with someone, even online. We got along really well and it almost seemed like we were made for each other, but, unfortunately, neither of us really knew what we were doing either, and despite all the good in our relationship, we failed to ever properly communicate with each other about alternative ways to stay in touch, our relationship happened in one of the worst times in my life to be starting a relationship, and presumably similar for her, and due to not knowing when we would be able to chat with each other, our relationship eventually failed as we ended up being in touch at worse and worse times. Following that, our relationship ended in a simple miscommunication on my end, which looking back must have made her feel like I was saying I wanted to leave her, when I only meant to say that I was leaving to go back home. I really wish our relationship didn't have so many communication issues. Despite everything, it was difficult for us to fully build the trust necessary for a relationship and in the end, I guess her and I just had to split up and go our separate ways... Honestly, I hope she's been able to recover better than I have.

 

Having thought about the last relationship I mentioned in the spoiler above more recently, I do feel like I made a lot of mistakes and wasn't the best boyfriend at all to her, and I do own up to that. Its been a long enough time for me to have been through all the stages of grief, and I'm past the point of being angry at myself and/or her for our mistakes, finally at peace with the fact that that relationship was a bit of a disaster 3 years after it all happened, and have been able to let go of her for the most part. That said, it all happened to abruptly that I still feel a bit of pain thinking about her sometimes, and I do really want to just chat with her one last time and apologize for the entire mess I caused. Maybe also explain to her my side of the story and get her perspective too. I talked about that last relationship with one of my friends on here recently, so its all very fresh in my mind still, but that talk did make me feel like it would be the right thing to talk to my ex-girlfriend should we ever meet again and try to clear things up.

Aside from that, these days, I try to avoid even talking about relationships as much as possible, since it is a depressing thing for me.

TL;DR I am terrible at socializing, I felt pressured by some unknown force to get into a relationship, lots of rejection and/or huge lack of courage followed by desperation, been through 3 relationships that screwed me up in one way or another, and a strong desire to right my wrongs with the last relationship I was in. Relationships and love are difficult.

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,421]

Life is stressfull enough as it is, the world is dying right now anyway with all the crap going on and I'm not social either and likely never find a girl anyway, so why even trying?

[TBD 17,254]

My own life is already a handful to be dealing with relationship.

[TheRockARooster 51,171]

I’m not good enough for anybody.

[Splashee 28,564]

I am still pretty much not double yet. I am working on cloning myself

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

Because I’m ugly as all hell

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

Because I haven’t made it a goal to go out and date yet
