Maybe it's their feeler question to find out if you want to be in a relationship or if you are choosing to be single.

They could also be asking to see how long ago were you in a relationship, how did it end, what went wrong with that relationship, etc.

Just so they can get an idea of what you are looking for and why you are still available.

Normally, they want to ask you out if they ask that question.
How about, 'Why aren't you married yet'?

How would like if I asked them 'Why aren't you divorced yet'?

I hate that question also...men like to ask it too. I think it's a terrible 'opener'.

Or they might figure that if the 'essentials' [looks, charm, security, etc.] are present, you should no longer be on the market. And if so, there must be a red flag waving somewhere. But I also wonder the same about so many beautiful ladies smiling back at me from dating sites.

people are single for a lot more reasons then the 2 you mentioned. I think its a good question to ask. So you can get some history of this person.

They do it just to annoy men or they just like playing mind games.

Whats wrong with being honest and answering the question? I noticed some said that they hated it or disliked it. I have to say I hate scripts. In anything. I like to have fun and let things play out so I don't do this myself. Still, when it comes up I answer these things honestly. Why not let her know who I am and what I'm about? She will figure it out soon enough anyways. This is something that comes up over and over and I dont get why you would not want to be honest and just say "this is me."

So basically I'm not accomplishing anything by going on dates for practice with women who are not type.

How can I stop these aniexty attacks? And why the hell I would be meeting someone for the first time today when I have already scheduled 4th date with the other girl? I think I need medication.

Lol several years ago I went out with a guy whose hands were shaking from nervousness...I kinda pointed it out to him and we laughed it off but while he was good looking I didn't like the lack of confidence because that is tooo shy. I was actually amazed at that reaction but he's a good guy so I didn't make him feel bad or anything. Hopefully you can find a way to calm down to make your dates better..I'm sure you'll think of something.

To prove this, scientists actually took the pheromones from the alphas of a certain species of fish who got to breed with the females and gave the pheromones to the shunned males; soon, the shunned males were getting as much sex as the alphas.

Plenty of Fish also discovered something similar: that the same man, when women were informed he was single, rated him lower than when he was "in a relationship" (of course POF lied about the status of the men.)

Go look this up online.

Do not EVER assume women pick mates by logic/justice/empathy; that's a man's style.
