Why are you single?
| Wed, 06-30-2010 - 1:24pm |
I've been asked this question before, which I think is impolite, but nevertheless I figured it might be a helpful question to honestly ask myself. In as few words as possible I would say that I am single because I am too nice.
I blogged about this and have been a little surprised at some of the answers I've been given. So, what would your answer be? In as few words as possible, why are you single?

Why are asking this question all over all the message boards?

I am single because I was in a 12 year relationship; got divorced because the idiot didn't want kids (among other things I won't mention).

Good question. I've actually never had anyone ask that and honestly I don't really think it's rude (despite the comments of the first replier!).
Anyway, I think there are a few reasons why I'm single:
1. I like being single. I don't like being tied down. I'm really independent and don't want to check in with someone or "ask permission" to do things.
2. I was burned really badly by my last long-term bf. We were engaged and one day I got home to a "dear John" type letter and he'd caught a flight to the other side of the country. It took me a long time to get over him and what he did.
3. I've always been a bit of a commitmentphobe, especially after what happened with the last LTR.
4. And to be totally honest, I think that sometimes I can come on a bit too strong and that can scare guys away.
Oh my gosh that's awful about the letter from your fiancee. I'm sorry that happened to you :(
Thanks for all the heartfelt replies. I honestly didn't mean it as a rude question, which is why I explained why I was asking it and that I realize it can be an impolite question when asked in other contexts. I simply thought it was an okay topic to bring up on a dating board devote to the subject.

He is NOT an idiot for not wanting children.
