I definitely enjoy being single. Although it hadnā€™t always been that way. Iā€™m happy Iā€™m single. In the past I wish I was in relationships. But now Iā€™m pretty content being single. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll fall for the lust trap again. But definitely not seeking out for a relationship rn.

I am also single by choice.
to me, being in a couple is too much trouble ! you have to make concession on your quiet little life and do functions of someone else.
plus love does not last a lifetime. after some months it is just routineā€¦ plus I donā€™t like sex so Iā€™m fine being alone ! I have my family and friends.

I am not single by choice.

However now I have been single for so long, I am not sure I could accommodate the needs of a partner

Unless of course this thing called ā€˜loveā€™ is real? I doubt it somehow

I was single by choice for 6 years. The people who showed interest didnā€™t strike my fancy, and I the few times I took an interest in someone, I was too scared to act on it.

Finally reached a point in my life where I decided to give a guy a chance, and so far so good.

Iā€™m terrified. Iā€™m not sure I can accommodate a partner, and Iā€™ve got trust and abandonment issues up the wazoo. But heā€™s patiently helping me work through it.

Sounds like youā€™ve got a great partner! Thatā€™s whatā€™s supposed to happen in relationships.

Well, letā€™s see how it goes when the honeymoon phase of his affection wears off.

But so far it seems to be going fine

Iā€™m single because stalkers always interfered in my life and I was too sick or wore out to find someone I cared about.

If i ever got into a relationship i would probably break it off within a week or two because id assume the other person doesnt like me anymore, or that they deserve better

I am severely disabled so its out of question. I made a thread about it here and users told me to not date as its unfair to the partner that I stay in bed most of my time. I would make her depressed.

My last gf left me bcz of sz, we met before my sz so she expected me to finish my university degree and work with it. That didnā€™t happen but she stayed with me expecting me to work a job with a minimum salary, that didnā€™t workout either so she left me calling my life depressing as I stayed home all the time.

Are you always in bed? I donā€™t think thereā€™s a girl on this earth who wants a guy that always stays in bed and that canā€™t manage money. My last gf left me bcz of these.

I was single for a long time until I found my current partner who is disabled like me. She understands me and we support each other through our struggles.

I am happily single. Tried a relationship in the past but it wasnā€™t what I wanted. Pretty content with the friends and family that I have.

We met on a dating app for autistic people called Hiki. I had thought I was autistic at the time before I realized it was probably just the sz + being socially awkward in general. She also has bipolar and psychosis.
