I have been on OLD sites and I always run into that cliche question especially when it is the very first thing they ask you aside from what your name is, "What is such a pretty lady like yourself doing single"? I wonder what are some good answers to say without sounding lame about it.

It benefits our civilization when people pair up. Their kids have a better chance of becoming productive members of society. That answers your question.

I wouldn't worry about the answer being lame as the question is just as lame.

One of 3 things:

It's an icebreaker.
Person can't think of anything else to say.
They genuinely want to know for compatibility reasons.

I understand how you feel though. It can be annoying.

My thoughts exactly. I felt like the question was lame too, hence the feeling of it being a cliche. That's why I want an answer that isn't lame. lol

There is no "real" reason, but the obvious. The relationship I had just plain didn't work out, but obviously no one accepts that. lol
