Am I the only single person out there? All of my friends/relatives have somebody and I am currently not dating anybody. I am ok with it, but it seems to me that other folks think that is strange.


Anybody else felt like this before?

People in relationships do think it's strange when their friends are single. Like they need to fix you up so you can be as happy as they are. I think they think they have it right and they want you to get it right too.

If your happy being single. I wouldn't worry about it. Just tell them your fine and not to worry about you.

No. Your situation is not strange. It's not about finding someone it's about "the one". I think it's okay to be comfortable with yourself, meet other people and date. When you meet that person that is worth taking the next steps, trust me you will do it with no problem.

Yeah I don't have commitment issues or anything of that sort. I just haven't met someone that I am willing to take it to the next step. I am ok with partying and meeting new women.

I could be wrong but I don't think the OP is NOT looking for a date he is happy being single.

I have many friends in your age range who are single. Want me to introduce you?

All jokes aside, my friends feel they are better off single than being with the wrong person. That's a healthy attitude to have and I have no doubts they'll make wonderful partners when they find the right person. I'm betting you're to the point where you want someone to share your life with, and finding someone you can have that with takes a lot of time. Previous generations married young because they didn't have the time or luxury of finding the best partner they could. As long as you're ok with your lifestyle, it's not a big deal.

I feel the same way, I will rather be single than to be with someone just so others won't think it's strange.

Example... my cousin that is 32 years old. He is currently dating a friend of mine who is fat and short. He told me that he is NOT attracted to her but he feels that this is what he needs in his life.

I think that is a very way to get into a relationship...
