I guess mines BOTH really i am single by choice in the sense i always get the wrong guys.
BUT in another sense NOT single by choice - thats why im on here
TRYING to find a errrrrrrrrrm "decent" guy

i'm kinda mixed on this one, i like the single life, not having to constantly run everything by the missus just incase she's made plans, but i also miss having someone to talk to when i'm down or waking up next to someone - a double bed is a lonely place for a single person. The trouble is, after some of the shit i've been through in previous relationships i really don't know if i could actually trust another woman to the point where we could have a 'successful' relationship

For me I'm not consciously single by choice or anything. I'm quite happy in my life and quite happy to go along, at least for now, with the que sera que sera mentality. If I meet someone then fantastic but if I don't I'm not going to worry about it. Of course there are times that I miss having someone, but at other times doing what i want when I want is quite appealing!

I'm not single by choice. It just does'nt seem to workout like it should. Like looking at someone through a window, never able to touch or be heard.

For some people is must all be so easy, maybe they really can choose?

lets get this straight then shall we. Those that say you are single by choice are you also saying you are celibate by choice? or do you put it around when you feel the need and just cant be arsed to put up with a full time partner ?

Not to deviate from the (rather ambigious) question asked, the lady in question has a freedom to do what she wants. That goes without saying.

My opinion on the matter?

if that's how she chooses to justify her current state in life, so be it. Many have said that they take life as it's thrown at them and to be honest, a little part of everyone wants someone, deny it they may.

Most people suffer from gracious blowbacks of Sod's law, anyways.

i guess it's all about fate for me !! if it's meant to be, it will be. If not, well.. looks like i'm here for the duration !

I am celibate. Not interested in love, outside of marriage. That is my religious feelings about such issues.

I am currently single, and yes happy. I am content to stay that way for the rest of my life if that happens to be.

I said "who knows whats round the next corner" meaning maybe I will meet someone who changes my mind about my single, sexless existence. I repeat, I *am* happy and content right now with my life. Maybe a tad bored and occasionally lonesome for company.

The chat here fills some gaps.

I am using the dating side of the forum to maybe meet someone or someones to pass the time with, a bit of company and........like I said, who knows what.

I am not saying I have chosen to spend the rest of my life alone, nor am I desparately seeking a new husband.....just company will do me.

It never ceases to amaze me so many people cannot get their heads around the idea that I am not interested in love, nor am I looking for a husband, but if I meet someone that special, well, thats why I never say "Never".

Not sure if that answers your questions.

the ideal partner is also your best friend.. someone you can talk to when you need to etc, life isn't all about love !
