How many of you are single?

I am 35 and in a relationship i have been in for 10 yrs but not bery happy and want to get out but with house to sell and sort out it will take a while, dog and horse loves me so not too worried. would like someone to share life with, bit of travelling on holidays, prob a mechanic or need to like cars and trucks (even though i am female i lve nothing better than messing about with vehicles.) think i am easy to get along with and chilled out. likes choc, wine and sex.
 
I suppose I buck the trend a little here!

Am 24 and will have been married 4 years this year! Very happily married! Hubby is 8 years older than me!

I wasn't looking for the one he just happened to come along!... Whilst i was working in the pub! Had been in quite a few relationships before I met my hubby and tbh I think he saved me from myself and the wild child I was becoming!

Havent got my own horse yet but hubby knows that it's coming! Have said my own horse comes before I have a child and he accepts my obsession! :-) xx
 
One thing this thread shows is we all think the grass is greener on the other side.

49, single for some time. And based on what sort of men I've recently come across will happily stay that way until I'm pleasantly surprised otherwise :p (which is no reflection on the good men out there as I have many friends with lovely partners/husbands...I just haven't managed to come across one of my own, I think my antennae and radar are damaged :o:D)
 
I know - funny. I dont even want someone horsey, just so long as it is someone who will go for a beer at the pub with me at the end of crap/busy week
 
I am newly single. 22 in July, had been with my boyfriend for 5 years Feb 2012 but I think I just felt out of love with him :( Horrendous because he's a great guy, but it felt like we were just chugging along together because that's the way it's been and because it's how we felt safe. I hated myself but didn't want to drag things on and make it worse.

Since then I've had a bit of a fling with a(n older) guy from work :o But officially single, enjoying my free time :D
 
Im 46 and been single more or less 5 years now, (since ex hubby left) had a couple of short relationships (both 9 months) but I do get fed up of being single, more so at weekends, saturday night tends to be stuck in, in front of the TV...

Not easy here though (Spain) lack of decent men, and any I do like seem to live over an hour away, and I live in a village where unless I want to date a real toboy or a zimmer pusher, looks like Ill be single a while longer.. oh, and it dont help that I dont like spanish men either..lol
 
21 and very much single!

I worry about my lack of free time being an issue too, i'm very rarely at home, but I suppose for the right person this wont be an issue! I want to meet someone who understands that people need their own space and time sometimes and doesn't want to spend every waking moment together, I get stifled very easily by these type of people!

xx


We are quite similar in that respect, I too like my own space. I was brought up as an only child so always been used to spending hours on my own amusing myself!


Totally agree! And also an only child, I wouldn't mind a boyfriend but don't have much time and can't stand needy people who suffocate you and want to spend every waking moment with you (maybe one day if i marry but until then...) I'm also very fussy, hence being single for 5 years now :D
 
37 and seems like I have been single forever, been years since I had a serious relationship. I work hard and with the horses I don't have loads of spare time, but it would be nice to have someone. That said I am so used to being alone I would hate one of those people who doesn't need their own space, and whilst most of my friends have settled down a lot of their other halves are pretty depressing and I would rather be alone! Have had a lot of not great experiences too, and men seem only to want to go out with women under 35. Regret not having tried harder to meet someone when I was younger tbh, but then again I have led a much more interesting life than I might have if I had settled down.

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

20, single and always have been.
I wouldn't mind a boyfriend just because I am curious about what it would be like and 2 of my friends now are in serious relationships and feel like im missing out. I do this thing though where I just freeze and freak out if a guy shows any interest in me. Probably not helped by all the guys showing an interest not being the most physically attractive :P
I struggle to think where a boyfriend would fit into my life though since I am at uni, have a part time job and 3 horses and like to meet up with my friends as often as I can and do lots of competing.
 
Take it from me,make the most of being single whilst you can. Marriage is hard enough as it is,so take your time about it!!!!!!

Scribble lol you made me have a giggle!!!

i met my now hubby on a dating site too :D they can and do work, my dad is also married to a lady he met on a dating site

also PollyP, i got married last year when i was 22, and my husband is 32 - loads of people said it wouldn't work...did u get that with the age gap?
 
I've been single for 14 years :( no one loves me, but was with previous boyfriend for 12 years before that

the thought of having a bloke now makes me scared, I'm totally out of practice and too set in my ways. :)

If so, what age bracket do you fall under? How do you feel about being single? I understand if people don't want to answer. I'm just curious.

I am currently single and will be 22 this year. My last serious relationship was just over a year ago. Since then I was in another relationship for a few months but it got too much too soon so I ended it. I was seeing a guy for a while too, but I don't think he knew what he wanted so I stopped seeing him and now we just talk as friends. It seems to go from one extreme to the other :rolleyes:

I would quite like someone to settle down with in the future, but I'm not that bothered just now. Don't have much free time with the horse, uni and part time job. I'm not someone that needs someone, more the opposite.. I can come across too independent sometimes which has put people off :o I find it hard to trust guys too which I think has something to do with it!

What about you?

You are so young and have your life ahead of you, although we all like to share times with a loved one it isn't all plain sailing!
I have been in long relationships and i have been alone, i have to say i was very happy doing my own thing, although the evenings could be lonely i did like the freedom of doing what i liked.

I suppose the ideal is to have a balance between the two, i happen to be with a guy now that loves my horses, he comes to the yard and spends time with my youngster, loves my older boy and buys them treats. It makes a difference if they happen to enjoy what you love too. Some guys can be jealous of the time spent with the horses and i even had a guy jealous of my dog, he would say "oh to be a boxer dog" and i would say "i wish you were"...as you can imagine that caused sulky moods on his part....life is to short to be dealing with little boys in mens bodies.

I am not saying my relationship is perfect, its not! at home it can be hard work especially if he has a mood on for no reason and starts picking on silly things but you get over it and the good times come again. I suppose you have to know what you really want, what makes you happy. Maybe a chance meeting will happen when you least expect it. Believe in yourself and see all your positives and dont settle for second best, make sure they are worth giving up your freedom for:)
 
34, happily single

Last serious relationship ended about 9 years ago, since then had a few short term relationships (with some very bad men indeed :o) but nothing recent.

It's not a conscious choice to be single but I'm not very "needy" emotionally. I'd settle if I met the right person but I'm not worried about it, I have lovely friends and family and my closest female friends are all single too which helps (3 not settled at all yet, 1 divorced).

Not interested in kids so that helps!

I work in a very female dominated place and find it quite hard to meet eligible men these days. Mind you, not really trying very hard!

I have the odd "wobble" and feel a bit sad about it but not often and a bit of wine and choc sorts that out ;)
 
21 and single, never had a serious long term relationship, just short term/ dates.

I prefer it though, met enough nice guys to date and that but through my own choice not gone into a relationship with them.

Loads of my friends are but I'm just better on my own and far to independent ;)

Eventually I'm sure I'll settle down and play happy family but not for a longgg while yet!
