Why are you single? I mean, what do you do when you're single?

I find that I have a lot on deck, i mean women, yet I don't even try to pursue any of them. I'm like a happy figure hoppin' around w/ no intention for anything. I prefer the chase for a female--relationship wise, more than sex, but I still wouldn't pass it up, neither do I gas it up though.
Maybe it's because I've been single all my life and feel no use for a relationship. But I can say I enjoy the presence of many woman around me. Oh, and believe, I've been through relationship experiences before, just never an official one.

P.S. Yes I am aware of the "Why are you single" thread but that's more like a list. This should be a discussion.

I don't want to spend $$$ on a chick right now. Anyone else with me?

[witchery]

Some people just don't like commitment lol.
I think there's a lot of people like you out there, seeking the thrill of the chase but the fun's lost when when you actually get into the relationship, isn't it?

[AS1AND0LL]

During school year I just focus on my studies, I'll check out guys here and there, say that they're cute but it does not mean that I would date them or like them. Being single is definitely a choice and yeah I get that "lonely" feeling but that lasts for like, let's see.. not even a day. I keep myself busy and I'm usually with my single friends since all the ones in a relationship are always with their s/o.. the ones who are in a relationship tend to think that we exclude them but we never do, we always invite them but some of them seem to be held on a leash on their s/o -___-'' kinda sad to see. Although as a female, I'm the type that has been in relationships but not many because most of the time I just like to get chased around until they ask me out and I deny them, now that may seem really wrong to do but I just do not want to commit myself at this point in my life. I honestly find being chased more fun than being in a relationship nowadays, no strings attached and no real hard feelings will be hurt in the end - depending on how much they do like you though. I can be committed but I'm still young and I do not want to be tied down, I rather get my own life settled with first until I could be in a serious relationship but as for now it's all just a joy ride until summer ends then back to my studies.

Agreed.

[the eYe]

cuz i'm still waiting for the right guy.
will he ever showed up??? *sigh*

[forgottenmemories]

I think some people just have a fear of commitment. Like my cousin who is 27 years old already, never been in a relationship before in his life. He's been on plenty of dates, had plenty of girls hanging around him, but never a serious relationship. When I asked him why, he simply said he has a fear of commitment.

[kansaieito]

what do i do when single?

sleep, hang out with friends, play some games, laugh and fart loudly, walk around in paint splattered sweatpants and old uni sweatshirts, toss the trash out a week too late, scratch my butt, play some more games, sleep even more.

yep...good life. don't need a guy coming in and ruining all that.

[_ATELIER]

i don't want to make finding an s/o my life's goal.
a relationship has a lot of responsibilities, i mean it's always about commitment,
and i really don't feel like i'm running out of time anyways,
so why should i race so fast to get settled when i can go out, seek and explore O_o?

[natt2828]

when you grow out of that stage, relationship is more than just boyfriend and girlfriend. it takes a lot of time and energy not to mention the sacrefication. =S
it isn't as easy.

[moot11]

Meh, I dated a lot when I was younger. I want to focus on school and on a career at this point. I have so much free time to peruse my interests and passions now!

Before I kind of went from one S.O. to another. Putting a stop to that was prb. one of the best choices I've made in my life. Grades sky rocketed, started getting scholarships, made a lot of close female friends (which is sometimes easier to do when there isn't any romantic interest in that person), etc. All around, this "single" period of my life has been the happiest in memory.

[Ivory Rose]

just waiting for a guy that's right for me. the ones in the past didn't work out for various reasons.
also i've met too many guys out there who aren't as focused in doing something with their lives as i am right now.
so there's no point in dating someone who is immature about things. been there, done that.

[twix0rz]

I need to focus on my studies and not worry about what a guy wants. Plus being single is fun. I can hangout with friends anytime i want, sleep, be lazy, and do whatever.
I guess i am also a bit afraid of commitment. If i feel ready for a relationship then i will probably take that leap. Right now i am just enjoying my life.

[honeyru]

I hate the idea of being tied down. So I guess it's a commitment issue.
I don't settle either, I will only date someone if I feel they are just right for me.
I've seen alot of my friends flit from relationship to relationship just because they hate being alone, they don't always like the guy. I feel they look stupid when they do this

[Mannosuke]

Don't really have time anymore with work and school.
Relationship => commitment => time and effort

Unless she wants to hang around at work where I'm usually just surfing forums lol
I don't believe in casual dating just for the fun of it, I get more fun from games, anime, and forums.

But more importantly, haven't found someone that will make me WANT to set aside time for her.

[LUVSSOURCREAM]

the word 'choose' doesnt really apply to me. it's half free will and half predetermined.........if that makes sense.

just didnt find the right guy yet. as for guys now in my life......sigh i still dont know.
im not commitment phobic, so i would love to have a stable relationship and its not like i go out dating all the time nor am i the type who either gives all or nothing. we'll see where life takes me

edit: sorry i didnt see the what you do when youre single?

um........well.....all sorts of things? date around? in what context is this?

[xxvictastic]

i wanna focus on school.
also, i`m just waiting for the right guy.
i`m not gonna date just because i want a boyfriend ..
that`s really pathetic and dumb.

[itrayya]

i agree with fellow soompiers too.
im not gonna date a guy just because i want a bf.

what do i do with my single fun life?
- study languages
- travel
- family time
- friend time
- babysit
- watch television
- read
- shop
- eat/ cook
- etc.

some people dont choose to be single, it just can't be helped, no?
but as of now, for me,
im sure i wont like getting into a relationship when im not bling blingin'. lol.
or it's just me, but im scared of getting a lazy, unrespectful person of a man. eeeek!!!!

[chocopocky]

Well, too much ham and turkey can spoil a thanksgiving dinner if ya know what I mean?

i dislike the feeling of being tied down.. and i've met too many guys who aren't what they say.. which made me pretty sick of dealing with it.

[kimbomynizzo]

I dont CHOOSE to be single, I'm just really bad when it comes to building that sort of "relationship". But believe me, I would like to have a nice korean-romanticcomedy style relationship once that girl comes around.
