I love the question, are you single by choice or cuz no one wants you? Living in the Bible Belt is Wreaking havoc on my dating life!!!! The ones I want, don’t want me....and the ones that want me, I don’t want.... sooooo, I’m single by default!
The Bible belt definitely shrinks the dating pool for atheists and agnostics. Age for women definitely shrinks it as well.
One thing about those church goers when a man becomes a widow there is often a casserole line to his front door.
I consider myself picky. Otherwise I could be having an affair with 2 or 3 married guys I know or being a very subservient companion to a guy I like to dance with. Neither option appeals to me at all.
Wow, that's rude to suggest that "no one wants you" wow! I have plenty of suitors that want me, but I don't want them. Better to infer that maybe you haven't found the right match.
For me, while I'd love to have a partner in life who gives me joy, so far I've only found partners who give me grief. So, rather than waste any more time searching, I've decided to be happy on my own, and so far that is working well for me. I miss someone to enjoy special times with, but thankfully I have a few friends to share those times with, since I don't have a special someone.
Maybe I'm single by default, because I want to live my life my way, not someone else's way. I prefer to be independent and make my own choices, not have to compromise my happiness for someone else.
Made a big move. The choice appeared to be: live where I want to, or live where there’s far more potential to ‘find someone.’ Arriving where ‘I wanted to be,’ I searched, even fell in love.. Something told me to hold back, glad I did.
Now, I live where I wanted … alone, but at the moment, sincerely smiling
Would you flip off that switch of desire, if you could? That’s long been my question of myself. So far, no, I’ll leave it on, just in case…
