So you are gonna stay alone forever? Dude, you are in your prime time but you sound like you are very old and life is almost over.
Yeah, that's the plan. I had a very, very bad experience and I just decided that it's best for me to not let anyone "in" again.
I'm 35, so life is probably half over.
I wanted to do the white picket fence thing at one time, but I don't want to be an "old dad," either, so I set my limit at 40.
At this point, I do not trust women at all, and to have 5 years left on the clock to meet, date, get engaged, move in, and get preggo....the timeline is just not there.
Long story short: Spent the better part of my 20's rather antisocial and awkward. Got way behind the 8 ball in terms of relationships and intimacy and because of that grew intimidated and insecure with any woman that had any more than minor experience with men. Turned into a catch 22 and kept building and building...
Now in my mid 30's I've finally got a very successful career which has given me confidence and I have dated several women in the past year. I'm starting to get over some of those old hurdles, however it's not easy when you are 35 and have the relationship and intimacy experience of a 20 year old...
I'm single at 30 years old, because I don't want to settle. I have no problems with men having interest in me, wonderful men, but there's always something that puts me off. Ex. there's this great guy at work. He is super smart, has had three promotions in the past three years, we have similar interests, and he's somewhat handsome until he opens his mouth; he has a strong lisp that I can't get past and makes him unattractive to me. For me, it's important to be attracted to the one I'm with. If I'm not, I won't date the guy. I don't mind being single, so settling is never a consideration for me. PS. After a 15-yr "relationship" with a guy, I'm not interested in them right now.
I am single because I don't approach women anymore, and I reject any women who approach me. I don't date at all. I actually avoid women and as much social interaction with them as I can. I have a job that is very male-dominated, I live in the country by myself and am interested in hobbies that are solitary and also male-dominated so it's actually not hard.
The only exception are the wives/girlfriends of buddies, some of whom I like pretty well. But as soon as they start in with the, "you should meet my friend, Minerva, you guys would be a great couple!", I give them the brush off. I try to explain as little as possible, because saying "I don't date" to a female invites a shotgun blast of questions that I'd rather not answer. Thankfully, most of them know the score so they don't really try anymore.
Im single because im such a loner, further im just getting to tired for the drama and BS of dating. I don't have a problem with being alone. But once in awhile i do miss waking up to a gorgeous girl next to me.
