Single by choice because I haven't met the "right" man


I'm fine with being single as long as it isn't for the rest of my life...there are definitely times where it would be easier not to be single and there are times that I feel excluded by/jealous of married friends, but I honestly feel that my time just hasn't come yet and I don't want to force it

Reply:Well, I wud say youre doing a real good and interesting survey there.





My answers:





I am from Mumbai,India.





1) Category : Never married without kids.





2) Male.





3) 26.





4) Asian.





5) As mentioned by you above, I am duely single as per the dictionary and textbook meaning (I never had a intimate relationship). Reason for being single maybe, becoz I m still waiting for that special one. Also I need to establish myself and complete my responsibilities towards my parents first and only then start a new relationship.





6) I think its fantastic to be single, coz with lesser responsibilities and expectaations, you have more freedom to explore life to the full, be adventurous, and wild. Though, I am not the "run-away-from-responsibilites" kind, yet this precious time of singlehood lets you explore your true self and is very helpful to develop character.





7) I like being single, yet I crave for a relationship too. Being able to share yourself (in every way) with someone special makes you feel complete. So liking singlehood is kinda 50-50 thingy.





8) Advantages of singlehood at my age:


I have a better understanding of world and relationships at my age. Hence I prove a good companion. Thus being single helps me a lot while interacting with women, coz the general apprehension is not there and I get to know about them better in a cordial relationship. Singlehood gives me freedom which is only controlled by my character and cultural values.





Disadvantages of singlehood at my age:


Clock seems to be ticking away (lol).... Too much pressure by everyone to settle down in life.... Gripping feeling of emptyness.





9) Other than women noticing me more often than my married friends, I've never felt discriminated.(lol)





10) Sometimes, when I notice them, enjoying the treasures of a married life, like kids, family etc. Also socially they function as a seperate unit, unlike we bachelors.





11) Well, everyone does feel like getting married and kids etc. But theres always this fear and apprehension towards accepting someone in your life. Whether the person will understand your ways of life and perception and vice versa. Whether you're strong enough (psychologically) to take up responsibilities of a married life. I mean theres no tests to understand this except for getting married to someone and seeing for yourself. Yes!.. I am always thinking about meeting the right woman.. I wish someone who thinks similar to me , would just come and say hi! and I wont let her go forever ... (I guess m getting too romantic for a survey ..Lol)





But on a bitter end, sometimes we all know that its not always that you find the right person. And we might end up living and adjusting with the "okay" person. Thats life..!!





Thats why I like singlehood, coz the wait is more merrier than the results...Lol





I hope my answers would be useful to you.





Best of luck

Why do I think I'm single: Cause women don't like nice guys we are only good enough to be the "Good Friend"


My reason for beeing single: Tired of playing games to date. No one can accept you for you, you have to be the fantasy guy they think they wantand when you don't live up to that your history.





how do I feel about being single:





It SUCKS being alone all the time makes you wonder if life is worth it. You go out with friends and they all have some with them and your alone, and no matter how good the friends you feel like an outsider.





being discrimmated against: Yes when you work and they need people to stay your the first one they say has to stay. You don't have a family to go home to so you can stay. People also think there is something wrong with you caus you can't find someone.

I messed up, reasons-alcohol


I feel horrible, and learning from my mistakes, I think it's the worst feeling,


GOD put women on earth,


and I screwed up.


I hate being single.


The advantage is she can't nag me, the disadvantage is, I'm not getting any younger.


I never felt discriminated, in fact, some guys say I'm lucky I'm not married, I know, and sometimes it's true, most of the time, I'm just a lonely guy.


I'm always looking for that someone special, when you see the sparks, so far nothing. About kids, who knows, I have 2, if she wants to have kids together, I'm all for it.


I'm always looking, but haven't seen that special something I'm looking for.


As for you, I hope my input helped you out. Good Luck!
