I was singled by my ex who wanted to have some space after 11 years....we both thought we had found Mr Right! Both married with 5 children between us....both not happy....both knew why....suddenly there was a reason not to be unhappy anymore!!
Trouble is I dont like being on my own. Yes its great to be able to eat, watch, listen to anything I want...but I SO miss the cuddles, holding hands, that little twinkle in his eye...but mostly his touch.
I have lots of lovely friends...some of whom are quite close friends......but its not quite the same.
So still looking for Mr Right II

I have been single for awhile now. I believe now that its a choice. I think there may be some fear of being hurt. I really enjoyed living on a different coast. And when I moved for work to GA it was not something I wanted to do. And It was just about the time I was finally feeling ok about living Out west.Now socially I feel like Im starting from a different space. Hopefully I will start finding my way again and will have the social support and growth I need.
I am single cause its became a way of life... I almost married 3 times first two I was young and dumb made bad choices..the ladies were too wild too. The 3rd was married already to beer...rather get drunk then be with me so walked away tried many times to change her but she didn't want change see her time time she got married to a drunk like her...every time seen her never sober sad to say....So since her done some dating but never matched right... I am retired so guess just make the best of it still have hope will meet a single lady nudist..that was another problem my ex's hated the life style ..
To ask why are you single is to assume someone is avidly looking. In many cases people are single because of timing and circumstantial control.
As for me personally, Im single because of the things involved in dating, ie walking into someones life already in progress, communication, mental mindsets, personal responsibilities, ones ability to adapt, finding the right person etc.
I used to make a lot of efforts into meeting people, trying to find the right person for me. Only relationship I had only lasted 3 months, realizing it was more a friendship relationship. And then started to see all of those former relationship friends ask me about each other to date or just have fun, and go at it. It got me at a point where I felt overwhelmed with those behaviors. I left many of them behind. Turning 40, I realized how, after a few ears without that around me, it felt so much more natural and like myself. Used to be a loner when I was a young kid, just got back to my natural root and really appreciate it. I often miss the cuddling mostly, but it's not worth the trouble. Now, I don't get any proximity with people in my own city to avoid hoping for more. And sure enough, when I have a little distance with the ones I may have met while traveling, I'm happy about my decision to remain single. Single and naked alone at home is just too good to screw this up now.
I was married for 22 years but lived apart for the last 5 of those years. She wanted out, (I didnt) and decided to play dirty to get out. Accusations made the split less than amicable but things worked out in the end. I was a single, custodial dad and raised 4 kids to be incredible men and women. I made a commitment not to pursue a relationship while any of the kids still lived at home and by the time the last one was moving out I was no longer interested in looking for a relationship. I have wonderful friends and am content with my life as Im living it now.
I recently (1 month ago) had my first experience of public nudity after decades of at home nudity. I have always liked being naked and starting to interact with others while naked has been incredible; I wish Id started this 25 years ago. There may be a relationship in my future but Im not searching for one. I am busy at 64 learning who I am and am excited by the future, a future which will absolutely contain nude beaches, nude coffee, hanging naked with an old friend and hopefully some new ones, time and wine on my patio late at night when I can be naked without bothering the neighbours.
For me, it is a choice. I rushed into a relationship when I was 18 and slowly started to realize we didn't have much in common. Now, I know what I want in a relationship. I won't settle for anything less than that, and my standards are not very high. I am not on any dating apps anymore and I'm working on myself until I'm ready to start dating again or until a miracle happens.
I get in my own way I guess.
Never been married and only been in one serious relationship. I've always been someone who's wanted a serious romantic relationship--my plan was to get married right out of high school. Meanwhile could never get a date to the school dances.
I'm currently trying to date several people without the intention of a full-on relationship. Just to see whom I click with. Obviously, a lot of this involves video dates and texting.
A lot of times I feel "broken" for being single. It's not like I have a divorce or lack of trying to explain my singleness.
