Ive been single for best part of ten years

I am not single now. However, I married late in life so had a lot of time on my own. I have been married for 11 years. It is tough. I think if you have a good network of friends and family you are better off - at least for now. Marriage takes a looooooot of work!! If there are any major issues or even baggage, you haven't solved anything you have just doubled your stress levels. I know the feeling - I am there. Work out what you need to first. Make sure the person understands your situation and you are compatible on how you deal with and solve problems because make no mistake they will come.

I'm 21 and never had a relationship. I'm happy to be single, though I do get lonely at times I admit.

Don't worry too much I have heard of people who have never had a relationship and they are in their 50's. They are really happy and content too, just fine to spend their time on the hobbies they love.

I've been single for hmm... 2-3 years now. Mainly, I've been single since I got out of High School lol. Which tells me that I'm not getting out enough, because I went to the club lastnight with some buddies and ended up getting a dinner date by the end of the night with a very cute, outgoing and bubbly girl. Maybe I'll start college, even though I'm 2 years late than most people who were in my graduating class. Relationships are stressful at times though! You'll find somebody, you just have to get out there and do stuff you love, have fun, and party it up

I've been single since Sept 2002 and apart from a couple of dating episodes I haven't been with anyone. I'm 36 & I guess it's the fear of being rejected that stops me from asking girls out. Also, I'm quite overweight so that makes it even more difficult. The trouble is that after so long alone you get set in your own ways and everything becomes too comfortable. Plus the anxiety of taking on something new with potential disastrous & upsetting consequences holds me back. With my lack of mental strength it stops you moving forward.

I always feel like there is something missing so yeah I need a companion. I just don't know how to get one. ;(

I just went on my first date in 5 years after suffering with anxiety and depression. I met him online and we finally met in person. I did way better than I thought I would. I suffered zero anxiety in the restaurant and was happy. We hugged goodbye. I haven't talked with him much since then. But I'm glad I atleast put myself out there again.. Once you do that a lot more doors open up.
