How many of you are single?

56, twice divorced, sort of in a relationship, but not a very conventional one. :rolleyes:

I think I'm good at relationships but sadly the evidence proves otherwise.:o:D I call myself a Serial Bad Chooser.

Oh dear Fiona, I think you might be me! Just never got around to the marrying bit. It doesn't worry me being single, but I am definitely bordering on "Mad Old Lady"
 
I'm married but just wanted to say,there is absolutely nothing wrong with being fussy-it sorts the wheat from the chaff and saves the time,effort and potential heartache of faffing around with the a***holes! I was messed around once,when I was 18 yrs old and vowed it'd never happen again&it hasn't! Learn from mistakes! Sometimes I come back from tucking the horses in at night and Husband says 'Have you been kissing that horse again? Your hair smells&your face is filthy!' He thinks the neds are great tho and has been on receiving end of a few tender but sloppy horse-kisses himself... ;)
 
I think I am?!

I've just came out of a 2.5 year relationship(see affairs post). I am 21. Im the opposite to you as even though I'm independent, I really want a partner, someone to love and be loved by. I am sort of seeing a guy but he's in the other side of the country due to his job. He comes up on holidays and I plan on going down to see him when I can.
 
Nearly 30, single, and basically have been since I split up with my partner of nearly 9 years just over a year ago. Completly messed me up, thought I had found a soul mate, and have ended up dumping my much loved horses on him and bolting to the otherside of the world. Beyond fussy now, going to have to be a very special person for me to get serious again, and I have a VERY long list.
 
Goodness- us early 20's gang aren't doing very well are we!!

I'm 21 (nearly 22), have been single for a year after a long term relationship- had a few months of going loopy but now (mainly due to having to take some extreme drugs for my brain) am ready to settle down again..... the trouble is I seem to have developed a wierd hankering for older guys??!?!?!?
 
35 and been single for 3 years! WAIL!!!

My mother blames the fact I have horses... she claims that it takes up so much of my time I will NEVER get a man until I get rid of the nag.

It is such a mute point with the two of us I can't actually admit to her I have bought another one so now have two... I think she would disown me if she knew!!

AND i can't even pretend one of them is a bloke as they are both mares - she is so convinced I am a closet lesbian anyway that would just finish her off!!????
 
Men can be so demanding!! Single is generally best in my opinion!! With plenty of animals around to talk to. lol

as the dating advert says..... Its amazing being single, so i takes someone really amazing to want to give that up.

LOL, i like the young ones!!! Even more worrying. (an no... not THAT young before anyone comments!!! lol)
 
I'm 35, and I've been single/celibate for more than 10 years.

I enjoy the peace and quiet of my own company though, so it doesn't realy bother me too much (unless I'm feeling particularly hormonal ;) )
 
Almost 23 and single :) Had boyfriends between 17 and 21 - single now since Feb 2011, can honestly say i really love it.

A couple of times i have thought would be nice to settle down, been out on a few dates, but it's just been a REALLY fleeting thought!! I have one date and it's great then get bored :D

i love doing what i want when i want, drinking lots and sleeping all day, spending all my time with the ponio etc :) only thing is people keep asking me when i'm going to get a boyf! Think i'm to lazy for one too!! :D

Hee hee!!! and I was thinking its just us fellas that end up with trouble , mid 40s !!!quite happy single but company, and someone to share life with would be very nice.. I would say to the younger posters it gets harder the older you get to find someone without baggage and thats not too set in a self absorbed routine....
 
60 Single, Male - on my third horse (but also have an adopted horse)! Can do what I want when I want to. (Some people call me selfish).

im very similar to you :)

22 and single have been for just over a yr and a half, i seem to have ******* OFF written across my face when guys are involved!!
it does pee me off a little when i wana do stuff with friends and they are all out with their significant others and everybody hates being a 3rd wheel dont they?!

i wouldnt say im actively looking, (but it would be nice to have someone a little closer than a friend to abuse with all my life issues!!!) dont have much confidence in this area so i tend to just let things happen, hate picking guys up in clubs/ nights out, prefer to get to know them as friends first.... this doesnt seem to get me very far!!! :rolleyes:

my attitude to life is: if its meant to be it will :) again doesnt really get me that far!!!

i have all i need, a 4 legged buddy who doesnt answer back and showers me in love and affection :D..... think i may just keep it this way until that rather special person appears (if he ever does!!)

who needs men when u have a horse!

add the fact re the leg think will be now for the rest of my life (big sigh)

One of my friends is an amputee, she lost her leg before I met her, through cancer I believe. She's been in a happy relationship with an extremely attractive man for some years now. Her only having one leg doesn't seem to be an issue.
 
Im 25, just came out of a 4 year relationship, split up cuz he was a grump but he also moaned that i spent too much time with my horses. If he was nicer i might of seen him more haha! Now seeing someone new and he knows he is second in line to the horses and he knows that I make time for him when i can and when i want to!

Someone has to fit in around me cuz i'm not really fussed if i'm with someone or not but always seem to have someone in tow!

They make me laugh when they try buying me horse stuff in an attempt to get in the good books but end up with boots (pony size) for a 17.2hh cuz 'a pony's a pony, didnt know they had different size legs!'
 
33 this year and getting married in 5 weeks on sunday just past (EEK)

Met my husband to be on plentyoffish.com a dating site and it will be 2 years to the day we met when we get married on 20th May

53 yr old married british woman wed to a american toy boy- yes toy boy,11 yrs younger. Been married almost 21 yrs BUT he resents my horse and keeps telling me to sell it-no way in hell is that ever going to happen. The relationship is not as it should be,hes acting like a total jerk doing his own thing. Think hes suffering from male midlife crisis.lmao
Would I get married again.NO NO NO!!!! I only stay because of the kids (teens) and I love my hubby.Otherwise Id be gone!!!! If that makes any sense.
Make the most of being single!!
 
Im 29, single, told that I'm pretty all the time, but not one to believe it! have been single for 2 yrs, was was my ex 3 yrs and someone else for 5yrs before that!

I love being single, the thought of settling down with another wrong person scares that hell out of me!

Plus I start work at 6am and have the day time with my horses, afternoon/evening to go to the gym so not sure when I would find time to fit a man into my life! or maybe I am just keeping my options open!

The only thing I miss about having a man, is having someone to do my poo picking for me haha!
 
Here comes hho online dating me thinks :)

Oh, 21, male, taken for last two years, live together, keep horses together but spend daytime apart.

our first date entailed a meal, then nipping into police station for me to answer to bail (past issues!) here she met my mum for the first time :)

It always happens when you aren't looking. luckily we both have horses so kind of understand that we can't afford to go out/meals/cinema type of thing.

I've always found the opposite to what the ladies here find, a partner that loves petting ponies for a week, then gets bored and seems to thrive on yhoae

26 and single.....mixed emotions about it tho as two of my friends have abousloutely amazing other halfs that adore them, you can see it every time they look at them. I have a few health issues and my first (and last as he realy did my confidence in) bf told me if i wanted to find a partner i would have to snap out of my health problems or i wouldnt find anyone. I was 21 and tired to keep up with him and his friends instead of looking after myself so suffere a relapse as a result. I know there is someone out there for me but at the mo i am still finding out who i am and getting certien health propblems fixed so am not really looking......plus i dont kow alot of guys and the ones i do know are in committed relationships.

Xxxx
 
25 yrs old. Not single. Was in a 5 year relationship from the age of 18. That ended due to many things, I had other stuff going on and he was jealous of the horse even more so when i started talk of getting another. Plus as much as i loved him i wasn't 'in' love with him at the end. Rolled straight out of that relationship into a casual fling with a bloke i had know for a few years prior, just a bit of fun, then 6 months into that he decided he wanted more and i agreed, so yea, been with him officially about a year and a half now (including the casual 'seeing' each other part)
 
Stay Single enjoy life and dont be in a rush to settle down!!

I had one long relationship about 2 years ago but thats its for me.

Nowadays I enjoy life, see a couple of people and have fun with it. Im not attached to either so can still enjoy a single life but see them as and when can be mistaken as a couple as have nights out and in on the sofa ect but we're not suited enough to be together.

Youll find most people want someone but they dont.

A girl needs options and do not be in a hurry to settle down if its meant to be it will happen if its not then so be it.

Life is for living plus your only 22!!! Go out and meet people, have fun

not selfish at all!!

I am 46 was married 23 years. Been on my own nearly 6 years and LOVE IT!

I can't imagine ever wanting to have to consider anyone else. But having to do nothing but consider others all my life before this I don't care

I also can't imagine anyone putting up with my lifestyle. I work a lot of weekends, spend all my time with my horse and friends.

Basically I love doing what I want when I want and I never get chance to be bored or lonely :D:D

Friends have long since stopped asking me if I have met anyone yet

I have been on about 3 dates but none lasted longer than 2 dates.


Oh don't get me wrong if MR Perfect popped in and was happy to just fit it around my life then fine, but that isn't the way it works so I will stay very happily single

Ooo a man who poo picks would be worth having. It would look weird on your dating site requirements though... "Must like poo picking." :rolleyes:

I don't think it's selfish to do what you want if you're single. If you were in a relationship, but still put yourself first and just did what you want, that would be selfish.
