Had one of those dates where you realize halfway through they didn't read a single thing from your profile despite being the one to send the initial like. Guess I'll just wear my "I'm single" hat to …
Please help my friend and I decide if we're unreasonable. How much time do you spend with your partner or spouse and if you live separately or together. — My best friend and I are pretty similar. I'm single, she's married. I was dating a guy similar to her husband off and on for fourteen years but everything came to a head at the end of 2024 and we went…
Why I'm never single for extended periods? — I always find myself in romantic relationships. My relationships tend to be long term and serious. I'm not interested in casual/fun stuff. I never had long single period between my relationships. Afte…
Why i scan the room for women feedback — I'm involved in Public speaking training club, where each deliver a presentation as a practice. i've noticed while delivering a speech, i keep scanning for female club-members , who i find somehow att…
40, divorced 3 years, but feel like I'll never find a partner again. What would you do if you were me? — Location: Hong Kong Age: 40 Status: divorced 3 years, no kids Money: net worth \~US$6M (no debt), few furniture stores and a rental property. High income but stress level is insane. I could retire…
Getting to know each other before brining up more serious matters isn't playing cool. So what if she wants kids too if she won't like for example how you dress or your lack of tact. There's time and p…
I'm going to work on my protest behaviors and not reaching out or texting for validation as much. I guess I'm single but I hate the roller coaster and high off person I'm talking to or dating and I ju…
I'm currently suffering and this is so interesting. My wonder is - is this only useful while dating? When I'm single I don't have this feeling at all because ofc I have nothing to lose but while datin…

I'm similar to your partners I guess. I like when my partner has a hobby so they don't need me all the time to entertain them. My ex was perfect in this sense - we both had creative hobbies and often …
Yeah I know what you mean, I have my ages set to 5 years + and - my age on apps when I'm single now but very rarely match with any men who are older as most look 10+ years older than me (I mean some o…
I feel like I'm supposed to not let valentine's day get to me, that I'm supposed to be above it. That because it's so commercial or whatever, it's pathetic for me to feel sad. Every year that I'm sing…
I'm seeing a girl and it's serious, but she needs her alone time and is quite happy to only see me on Saturdays. I've had this in previous relationships and I hate it, as it means I cant see my friend…
I'm seeing a girl and it's serious, (dating for about 2 months recently exclusive) but she needs her alone time and is quite happy to only see me on Saturdays. I've had this in previous relationships …
Same. I don't necessarily feel like I'm single if we don't communicate daily, but I DO want someone who also enjoys texting daily. I replied to one of your other comments but I don't think this is wro…
Hey, I get it. My long term relationship ended at the 3 year mark a year ago. It was so hard to move forward, I had invested so much time and energy. I also remembered how much of a nightmare the ap…
I'm going through similar, from Upstate NY to San Diego, but I'm originally from SD anyway. Own a house here in Upstate and been here for a decade, but I think it's time to change it up. I also work f…
Thanks! I'll talk to her, and if it goes well, I'll ask her out. What's the worst that can happen? The last woman I asked out declined but praised me for having the courage to do so and said not many …
I kind of wish my grocery stores did something like this. I saw an ig reel where a lady was walking around with a baseball cap that had "I'm single" embroidered on it, and gave it serious thought.
The longer I'm single the more I realize that I don't take dating that seriously! Which is lovely!!! Find myself swiping less and just being open to new experiences.
That's how I started as well. I wanted some really casual fun. Was very transparent with my situation and where I was...I ended up in a 3 year relationship that was awesome for the honeymoon phase (wh…
No criticism. I date a ton when I'm single.
I am fat. I have multiple full body pictures of me being fat. I have full body pictures of me with other people (their faces are not visible) so that you can see I am fat compared to other people. I s…
I've been working on my attachment anxiety for almost 10 years and I am definitely secure after all this work but I have never read a comment that I related to so much on reddit, just from the other g…
I'm single and haven't been on a date in 3 years and don't miss sex at all. But when I'm in a relationship I'm really into it.
100% as long as I'm single
Definitely agree on your point about neutrality and detachment. For example, My first (intentional) thing that I am trying to manifest is the healing of an unexplainable, persistent back pain that I'v…
I'm going to be super honest and it seems like nobody in here is going to say it... I miss my freedom as well when I'm single as someone who is selfish. However - I know not to bring this up because i…
I don't mind if people are talking to other people and using apps, I was too. The ghosting comment I made in my original post was more of a tidbit but it seems to be what most commentators are p…
I sometimes wonder this too. Every now and then I think this on this sub, tbh. Just little things that I don't think are actually that telling that other people are worrying about. I also have come …
Thank you so much, really appreciate it! Right now I'm single and in a really good place with that. Focused on myself, training and building the life I want. As for her – she moved on pretty quickly…
> The people who never question themselves just... keep going. And somehow it works out. I've met a lot of people in unhappy relationships who are too scared of being alone to do anything about it. T…
34M currently going through a breakup with my 31F partner. We've been trying for 2.5 years and have been up and down. We each have our own flaws, but one of the biggest hurdles for us is mutually nav…
I get this too, and it just makes me feel awful because if my looks aren't the reason I'm single then it must be my personality. And now that I'm getting old, my chances at finding love will soon be g…
FWIW I don't think this is the worst strategy. I mean don't listen to me I'm single lol but generally if I stick to my "principles" and try to be smart I end up regretting what could have been a fun c…
My confidence is not drawn from my position in a relationship 🤣🤷. Then again I'm single, what do I know
I feel your struggle. But this sounds like a rant about money and service not a partner. I like it when a partner does things for me, but I want a partner for the things I can't do myself (companionsh…
I mean, I'm single/retired/autoimmune disease over here and I like living alone for good reason. There are days I don't want to get off the couch or out of bed because my body needs to recover. I do…
I feel you there. At least when I'm single, I like to fly solo at weddings nowadays. Less pressure, more chances to enjoy a fun night with someone else!
He knows I'm single. I went in one night and I was exhausted and had been alone for far too long, and he made me all nervous by being super nice. I divulged way too much about myself. He knew I was do…
For me it was a positive thing actually. I went on dates a few months after being painfully dumped and although I did subconsciously compare my dates to my ex and cry afterwards, I actually enjoyed do…
I've got Rahu and mars in Virgo 😅 your story gave me hope as well. I'm single as well, let's see 🤞🏾 thank you for sharing
I'm single because I got divorced. Spent a couple years processing and healing, and now can't seem to even meet *any* single men, much less one I would want a relationship with. 🤷♀️
I'm single because there were problems in my marriage, that couldn't be solved. We tried, but in the end it just didn't work out. I've chosen to stay single. My plan is to be on my own for a long whi…
I'm single because i divorced my abusive husband and spent the last 15 years being a single mom, working, and going to school. Now i have a good career, a house, a car and I'm having a hard time findi…
I'm single because after being married for twenty years to and navigating a divorce from a serial cheater, I have spent the last few years rebuilding my life. I’m currently 43, my children are in coll…
I think it's a combination of things: 1. A lot of people (at least in my area) married entirely too young and ended up divorcing because of it. 2. People rushed into marriages and realized after get…
I'm single because the man I’ve been in love with for six years lives in another country and barely remembers I exist. We were never even together, yet just hearing his name is enough to make me cry.
I'm single because after over 30 years of searching I haven't found anyone. I know I'm not the best looking, and if I smile and show teeth I can make a woman recoil. But I'm still trying
I'm the "fuck up" out of all my peers and former peers, yet I'm also the only one with a moral compass, and who isn't an alcoholic/coke head. I got sober years ago, they never even tried..because …
Well, it's over. I'm single again at 31. Today started out fine, turned absolutely horrible, and then got better once I accepted things for what they were, went to the forest to watch the clouds pass,…
dude i get why that checkbox stings but you gotta flip your perspective on this whole thing. being divorced doesn't mean you failed - it means you had the balls to walk away from something that wasn't…
You cooked? I'm single... just sayin'
Exactly. I'm single, but developed a serious health issue last year. Stuff can come out of nowhere in life. If someone's that willing to bail, what kind of relationship is it?
