singles??? (no significant other)

I wanna hear from YOU! Singles in your 30's, 40's 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's... whatever -- No boyfriends, no girlfriends - lotsa friend friends ok :-)

 Where you at?!?! How's life???

I am single and 34. I have no BF. The last relationship I had ended in May. It kind of sucked anyway. I recently went on a few dates w/ someone who asked me out. I knew I wasn't interested but went anyway b/c there was no one else around. It pretty much sucked. But everyone keeps telling me that beggars can't be choosers.

SIGH

um mid to late 20s single here... (shh im 27 but im trying to hide from that fact)... 

hi 36 and single. it sucks! I hate going out by myself.I wish i could go to the movies ,malls or set down and eat somewhere but i feel people are looking at me.my first  relationship went over 10 years and now my last lasted over 8 years.i don't go out at night to club/bars something about night people creeps me out.plus i don't drink and go to party's so its hard to meet women plus I'm very shy so when someone looks at me i look away.i know I'm a  dork.

lol @ drea. I am going to be 35 next month. ugh!!!

toonice I don't think you're a dork at all. I really hate that I feel like a loser b/c I am going to be 35, and I am single. Other than that, I have a great life! Why do I need to have a man to feel like I am worth something? :(

I am lonely. I don't drink. I go to bars sometimes w/ friends but I don't really meet people that way. All my friends are married. I literally do not have one single GF. My one friend that is not married is engaged. I want babies!!! Why do I feel like there is something wrong with me??????? How can I meet people other than dating online? I just may have to resort to that I think.

Have either of you ever done online dating or matchmaking or anything?

i actually tried eharmony a while ago.  i would recommend it if you can afford it.  i clicked pretty well with most of the people that i started to talk to that i met from there, dated 1 guy for a while, 1 guy just really really wanted to be married....that sort of thing.

i would do it again, probablly will when i lose a bit of the weight i worked so hard to lose and then regained. 

 

oh i have a kid, she is 7 (almost 8).  but yeah the baby-itis can get pretty strong, even knowing how horrible having a kid is (mostly j/k).

31 & single and have a real love/hate relationship with it.  On the one hand, I get lonely but on the other I've become very used to my personal space and have mixed feelings about having someone around all the time.  Also, celibacy really, really sucks.  I mean, really. Thankfully I have several single girlfriends to commiserate with.

I hated e-harmony...I didn't want to set the filter to "caucasian only" but then I got a bunch of guys looking for greencards. The rest were hardcore christians and/or so desperately seeking marriage that they'dve fallen for a toadstool.

Whatever my next step is is also waiting for my weight loss goal since it'll probably involve profiles or something, and no one ever clicks on the fat chicks. :(

sh** i knew i was missing memos.  no bf=no sex.  ill try to remember that in the future

 

i think my religious leanings kept out the hardcore peeps and i didnt get a whole lot of trying to get a green card type guys, but i did get a whole lot of geeky computer nerds.  a WHOLE lot of geeky computer nerds.  it made me question myself it was so many LOL.

I'm 32 and single.  I haven't had a real relationship in many years.  I had a brief romantic fling with a traveller in the summertime   but that's it.  I am, however, currently in love with a wonderful man who lives on the other side of the world.  When I was there we really connected and I thought there could be something between us.  Maybe there still can be when I get back there  

 So yeah, I'm single but experiencing it in a balanced way.  I'm not lonely, nor do I relish the freedom of being single.  I hope some day to find a mutually fulfilling relationship.

Wow. Yeah - no sex. How could I have forgotten to rant about that??? It really does suck. The last guy I dated lived in Austin which is about 3 hours from me in Dallas. It was kinda best of both worlds b/c I had my time to myself, but we saw each other on weekends. And I was gettin' some action. I used to have a couple of friends with benefits situations but not any more. The last time I saw one of those "friends" over the summer, I just felt so icky afterwards that I decided it was not worth it.

I am definitely starting to feel the whole "used to my way of doing things and not wanting to change." But also lonely at the same time. I have a pretty good life going on, lotsa friends and good job and all that. But I do not feel fulfilled when it comes to family/romance.

When I am PMSing is when it's the worst. I literally have a physical yearning to have babies. I've always wanted kids and I think I would be a good mom. But the physical NEED to have a baby is the worst when I am PMSing.

Yeah and here's a lil tip: avoid baby showers when you are PMSing!! I've had 2 in the last month or so, both during PMS, both made me cry cry cry.

edited to add: oops sorry for any single dudes who read this PMS rant... like toonice

don't cry shop girl  love that movie.

your guy is out there it just takes some time to fine him.

if it make you feel better i cryed at the end of spider-man 3

also when i go into hallmark stores.i love reading cards about

love & thinking of you cards, the best are classic pooh'cards' 

 

going out to buy food before the big storm comes.

I am 23 and also single. I feel the same way that most of you do: I'm content with my life like it is, but I would like to be fulfilled in the romance area. I have lots of friends and a wonderful family, and unlike most of the posts above, alot of my friends are still single (none are married. some are in long term relationships), so I am never really lonely, but I still have a longing for a guy in my life.

Also, like someone said before, I would like to lose a little weight before I actively look for a guy, because I'm not happy with myself right now. I have tried match.com for a month, but all these old guys kept messaging me, so maybe I'll try again in a few years. :)

I do work alot (I'm a nurse and work nights), so alot of my time is spent there, and you can't really meet too many guys working in a newborn nursery... :)

But overall I'm pretty content with my life. I wouldn't change anything in it. I'd just add to it! :)

I'm young and single, 21 and still in college.

I went through a major breakup about a month and a half ago (that breakup was really only a matter of time), and now i'm just enjoying being single. I went from one serious relationship to another, and I am hesitant to get emotionally involved with anyone for awhile. I use plentyoffish.com (free, awesome) and actually have met a really cool guy that I like to hang and "have fun with" (cough cough cough) so I got no complaints there.

I thought that being a bit overweight would be an issue with men, but so far it hasn't. If any of the guys I've dated have been put off by my weight, none of them seem to express it in any way. It's all in how you project yourself, I suppose!

Yep - this is how I feel, too!! But I've got about 12 years on ya and my baby-makin years are not going to last much longer :-)

Ricen, I am going to take a look at that site you mentioned!!

I think the worst thing is when your friends all have boyfriends. No matter what they do to make you feel better, you always feel like the third or 5th of 7th wheel.

Is this a club? Guess I should join too. 27 and single. I have never been in a relationship that was destined to be long term. To make things even better, I have a daughter who is 4. Now I love her to death and she is my world, but dating is pretty much non-existant in my life anymore. I find myself too inconvenienced by finding a babysitter to even want to date. LOL!

I watched The Notebook and ate M&M's in bed while bawling my eyes out, while others my age are out having fun with friends. Ugh! I will be 40 and still single.

I'm 23. Yeah being single sucks, but I try not to dwell on it too much. I have more immediate things to worry about.

Welcome!! Yeah it's not really a club... but for those of us who don't have significant others cheering on our weight loss. Or who think our weight is part of our single-ness. Or whatever!! Just to have some other people to relate to. Whatev.

So Ricen... I signed up on that dating site. I never heard of heard before you mentioned it. There are so many people on there!!! I will let you know how it goes...

GO COWBOYS!!!

Yay for you, Amy!  Keep us posted...

Noelle, you should do it with me :) We can cheer one another on!!!

You don't have to post a pic. I've noticed there are lots of people on there w/ no photo.  And on the other thread you started someone told why she didn't post photos, and so now I am more open minded about actually looking at profiles with no photos!! I wouldn't have probably done that otherwise.

so far I am wondering if a better title would be "plentyofrednecks" intead of "plentyoffish" :)

i like this thread!  i'm 27 and single...my last relationship lasted for 5 years (on & off) before ending about a year ago.  he was (is?) my best friend and we were great on the friend level, but the other stuff just fizzled out...for example we loved sleeping in the same bed as each other, but we almost never had sex.  so, there you go.
i'm not looking per se...and i definitely don't feel like wasting my time with someone who i know isn't the right guy.  honestly, the thing i miss the most about being in a relationship is having someone to do stuff with...whether it is staying in and watching a movie or going to a concert that none of your friends want to go to or grabbing a quick beer...
