what's your excuse for being single?

[oddjob]

i'm a pretty blunt guy, so i usually just say, i'm fat, ugly, balding, poor, and unintersting. all of which i'm sure attribute to me bing single.

when i do give an excuse it usually, i like being single and couples often time suck (which is true sometimes, but i wouldn't mind having a gf at this point in my life)

when someone calls me out, and says i'm shy and have self esteem issues (which are both true) i offer this excuse (which i also true, but is still a lame excuse). i was scarred up badly in my face from a car accident my freshman year of high school, so i never got to get the akward first talking to girls, high school experience out of the way. i had to wait till i was much much older, when you're supposed to know how to do that stuff.

that's mine.

what's yours?

yah, i'm bored today.

I just had this discussion w/ my dad. It was unusual, we arent the type to talk about much other than business, cars, sports etc, but he asked if "I was seeing anyone", and I was pretty honest with him in my answer, I just told him that Im more focused on making money now, and dont feel like settling down. than he asked, who the girl was that my uncle saw leaving my apartment the other morning, and I asked him which morning was it, and he just laughed. Im pretty sure he was just making sure Im not gay.

I'm picky, shy, and afraid of rejection are my leading excuses. Being extremely pessimistic doesn't help much. That's just the big ones. There are many other ones like I'm an a-hole and such.

I need to meet a nice agoraphobic girl that I can spend some quality evenings at home with.

I travel a fair bit, and when I'm traveling, that's the only time I really do things that would help me meet girls that might remedy my singleness problem. I do well when I'm out of town, but those can only be weekend-long flings, not really anything where I could say I stopped being single. When I'm in my own town, I'm either working, relaxing at home, or out with the same group of friends, none of whom I'd date, doing the same sorts of things, which don't really involve meeting people I'd date.

I dabbled in online dating briefly. I didn't really get anywhere, and since some of those sites can be pretty expensive, I didn't really feel like keeping with it.
