Relationships are a lot of work and they can also be HARD work.
And that’s why some people choose to remain single.
But what about the folks who want to be with a partner but just haven’t found the right one yet?
It’s a mixed bag and these people opened up about why they’re single. Let’s see what they had to say.
1. Not made for it.
“I have zero faith left in people.
At all.
I wasn’t made for today’s relationship.”
2. Freedom.
“Don’t have to answer to anyone.
Don’t have anyone to lie to me about their shady actions.
Don’t have to worry about any abuse.
Freedom!”
3. Content.
“I don’t want to actively seek out a man.
I’m young, I’m starting my own life, doing what I want to do, going where I want to go, and if I meet someone organically then great! But I’m not going to force a connection with someone just because they’re convenient or because society pressures you to date.
Long story short, I am content on my own and I’ll be okay like that until I find someone. Then we will be content on our own, but together.”
4. Plenty of time.
“I just never got lucky really.
I’m 20 and have yet to even hold a woman’s hand, maybe that’ll change by the time I’m 22 or 23 so wish me luck.”
5. Work on yourself.
“I’m not very outgoing.
I don’t think I’m attractive, and I want to get better mental health before I try dating anyone.”
6. You never know…
“Because there’s very little market for pudgy, balding, was-already-ugly-before-the-weight-gain-and-the-hair-loss, not overly intelligent but smarta** enough to get on your nerves, earnings-limited, gamer nerds…”
7. Gotta pay attention.
“I’m painfully clueless. i
I’ve had people tell me that they love me, and I’d go “aww, thanks!” and carry on with my day thinking it was the sweetest platonic compliment ever.
Plus I’, still not over my last crush. Huge d**che, only wanted to sext, and manipulated me into loving him. Fun!”
8. Focusing on goals.
“I don’t want to socialize, no one likes me nowadays, I’m still studying, I still have goals I need to achieve, and I’m a little bit burnt out from school work.”
9. Peace and quiet.
“After all I’ve been through with dating over the years, I just want peace, quiet, and the freedom to do what I want when I want.
I was raised by control freaks and in relationships with control freaks. I want control over my own life.”
10. Good point.
“Because I’ve learned that I don’t like the idea of a romantic, seriously passionate relationship. Basically aromantic.
Also, who needs a lover when you can vibe with the homies?”
11. The way it is.
“I’ve been single my entire life, not even a grade school crush.
Honestly, I think there’s something wrong with me, but I’m okay with it at this point in my life.”
12. Comfortable.
“Haven’t been looking. I’m not really good at meeting people and tired of endless rejections and friendzones chipping away at my soul.
So I’ve nearly given up on dating at all. But I’m comfortable being alone, it doesn’t bother me.”
13. Done.
“I got out 3 years ago and I don’t ever want to subject myself to that type of treatment ever again.
I’m trying to come to grips with the fact that I will more than certainly d** alone with no family around me when the time comes.
My father d**d recently and had my mother and brother with him at the time, and told us before he went that it was his biggest comfort—- having us all there with him.
It’s a comfort I won’t have.”
