This is different from the "have you given up on love" thread. Maybe you haven't given up on love, but do you feel like it could turn out that it may not be in the cards for you or maybe you're not lucky enough to find someone?

I sometimes feel like I had my chance (I was married before for a long while) but it didn't work out and it could be possible that that was the only experience that was meant for me to have. I am grateful too because some people will never even have that. I believe in fate and nature taking it's course (despite what you want) and things like that. It's a possibility I consider and as the months and years go on, it becomes a stronger possibility in my mind, like maybe I'm meant to be alone.

Anyone else ever feel this way?

I most certainly hope I'm single forever. I seem to pick nothing but crazy women. Not confident in my choices, so I may as well be single as be as stress free as possible.

lol

Maybe you will just have crushes and that will be it. Sometimes I think about that too.

I KNOW I will be single forever. I actively oppose and avoid long term relationships. Marriage seems like prison to me.

Sure, sometimes. I date, but I'm perfectly being happy being single. Been that way for the last 8 years or so. Living alone, traveling alone, etc are all excellent. I do like the physically intimacy and there are people in the same boat for that.

Yes and no.
I've never been popular romantically with men and the only dates I've been able to get were through online dating and until very recently none of them have gone for more than a few dates, none resulting in a relationship of any type.

So, I just figure that I'm destined to be single not by my own choice, but rather because men simply aren't interested in me in general.

I have begun seeing someone who I really like, but who knows if it will end up being anything long term. It is the longest I've continually dated anyone in the past 4 years though.

Yes. No doubt in my mind.

Even though I'm currently dating I still wonder.

I enjoy and am too used to being single. Past flings led to nowhere but at least I got to experience them. Maybe it's me, maybe it's luck. Assuming no major changes on the horizon, I will most likely end up single. Always keep in mind, though, how things (not just romantic interests) in life can and do change in a hurry.
