ive been single for quite some time. i see the good and the bad... but sometimes the good isnt enough to over power the bad. but im not willing to settle just so i can say that im not single anymore... but some days...
Never settle! In my opinion, if you settle that means you are compromising yourself and what you're looking for in a partner. I know it can be tough. I have spent many nights alone wanting to have someone to be there to talk, touch, kiss... etc etc etc. But at what cost? I settled way too many times and ended up compromising who I was, what I believed in and ended up giving way to much of myself to people who didn't appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, we all have to compromise in any type of relationship. But when you find someone who has the same goals and aspirations in their life as you do it will be worth it because you will be working together to achieve them. For what it's worth, that is my two cents.
@KINGKYRIE very good advice,,, which i have taken! Dont you have that one female friend whom you call on to talk to or watch games with or ask advice about other women? Yeah Im that girl! LOL!
I happen to agree with Lilmissassypants, she has great advice on not settling. Hang in there, and eventually you will find that person. hey, I need a woman to watch games with; what sports do you like? :$
I cant speak for you. I just know that I havent really met anyone. i have a lot of married friends and hang with them a lot. Also, Im not willing to compromise on what/who i want. I want to date someone who is an equal. Someone who has their shit together who doesnt have baggage in the way of young children/baby mammas, has a good job and actually wants to commit and not just have sex...
DarkLady - I am single (over a year now) for the first time in decades... and trying to figure out what that means. You have done it long enough to know, I suspect. Do you think some of it is "habit"? Really not ready/able to make the required compromises? I "worry" I might end up there!
When one looks around at those we know,and see their lives n their situation we sub consciously say na that’s not for me,rig rats everywhere n bills up to the roof, Being single has its merits

@Darklady, lol, yeah I have, but I'm married already, but when I were single I might give it a try, you look good, sound smart, and are even probably a nice person, so don't be desperate! :)
Ah... well. I appreciate that you have standards.. which is good. I would say just recognize that finding a perfect person is not possible... just in case that's the holdup.
