Oh gee, how much space is on this thing?

1. too fresh a widow/hermit

2. terminal dobermanitis and not easy to get a match there. Does setting money on fire going to dog shows sound like fun?

I could change that by going out with those who've asked IRL with whom it seems have little in common with myself other than being human.

Practicing kindness and appreciation to myself. Treating myself the way I would a potential partner.

Can I play?

Not only am I currently not single, but have never been sad in those sometimes extended periods when I have been single?

I'm an introverted person with a bit of social anxiety thrown in for good measure. I keep to myself out in public, though I am perfectly courteous to strangers when they approach me for minor things. Some people I know have told me I may come off as intimidating to others, probably due to my introverted nature I guess. Just relatively hard to talk to people sometimes as I usually don't patron bars and other big social locations by myself. A lot of my outings are spent by myself and usually in places with fewer people.

I can also add lazy to the mix I guess. I more often just don't try, I'm that fisherman who sits back in his boat and relaxes while I wait for a bite. Though after talking with someone for a decent amount of time I can already make an honest judgment that it may work or not. So if I manage to break through the shyness, it's then down to whether there is anything worthwhile there.

I made bad choices in the women that I was involved with in the past, so now I am very careful when I meet someone, and I basically take my time to find out who they are, what they believe in and if we are compatible. I don't jump into a relationship. So far I have not met anyone that I want to be in a long term relationship with. When I was younger, I got into relationships too fast. Now I do not jump into anything fast, either physically or emotionally. I like my freedom, and it would take an extraordinary woman to make me want to give that up.

I am happily single, responsible to no one but me for the first time in over 60 years, and it feels Fantastic....be careful what you wish for!

I feel that i do not offer what most women are looking for, a serious, committed relationship leading to marriage. I am single because I choose to be single and I feel it is the best lifestyle for me. I am quite happy as a single man doing as I please.

I believe I have been alone so long that I think being in a relationship will really cramp my style.

I'm single but can't say that I'm sad. I actually enjoy being by myself. It's peaceful. Reasons for me being single? Probably because I don't try. I'm just really happy with my life now and having a relationship, I guess in a way scares me because I don't wanna lose the level of comfort and happiness that I have now. Years of bad relationships led to that but it doesn't mean I've given up or closed to the idea of dating. If it happens it happens. I'm just not very worried about it.

Well heck... your on the right track... tone up and get out there. Everybody's attracted to somebody... don't put yourself down. Did you know that learning to talk, stand correctly, and show yourself as mysterious can knock people over... that's not being fake... its redesigning ones self. It's all up to you. You remember the movie Pretty Woman?

I'm fat, I'm gay and I'm wilfully gender non-conforming. A niche within a niche within a niche.

The 'straight with a dick fetish' bi and curious guys come for the penis but then leave because of it (they want the kind of girlfriend they can take into McDonalds, rather than one they have to sneak through the drive-thru after dark.) The gay guys typically run a mile when they get a whiff of the frocks.

That's a good question. Mine is complicated. If I can find this post later I'm going to respond. It's to early now for thinking.

I know I am not what most women want, I could well change many things about myself, the only thing I am willing to change is my weight, but with all the others, I am still not the model that is wanted. I am happy enough in myself, and no-one is on my radar as being a must have at this time.

I'm single but not sad. I don't drink or smoke or like sports or most of that stuff so I'm off of the radar and have always been a loner. some people seem to get less choosey as they age but I don't. I'm quite a loner anyway.

I'm told I am have an intimidating and unapproachable demeanor. Even my boss is always asking why I'm pissed off when I am just focused on my task. I also think I look a little masculine and need to lose 50-60 pounds.

I'm single because the people I'm attracted to either not attracted to me or are exactly like my ex's in which case, I do the running away

But mostly I just do not meet many single people since I go to bed before dark and won't mess around with anyone connected to my job.

I'm a bit of a dick, and I've got a terrible problem with not being interested in people who are interested in me.
