Are You Married Or Single?

Postby Spontaneo » 19 Dec 2024, 06:11

I am single. I still have that little girl dream with my wedding all planned out.

No men are interested. People always say, "You don't want to get married". Then, "It can happen one day". Then, "It can happen before you know it".

I can cook. I can clean. What am I doing wrong?

You can rent a cook or cleaner, but you can't rent a wife and get one that fills that position.

Married. I married young, and it's worked out well for me. I've been lucky.

I wouldn't say you are doing anything wrong. It would probably help to get out and meet people more though. You never know where you might meet someone, so the more things you do that put yourself out there the greater your chances are. That can be easier said than done, I know. My friends who are married met their partners through work, university or hobbies.

Most men around here are all married. I'm talking here plum dry. No, I don't want any singles groups. I do get out. I used to work at a cafe and I go there every-so-often. However, not my type. These past couple of days, I have had a downfall with my church. So, I do not forsee going there for a while. When I go to the library, there is usually all women. One man who sits at the same computer when I go there. I tell him hello and by his first name, but he does not say a word. I could go on and on. All duds.

Maybe I could meet a man online? I would need to be very cautious. I do not want a prison inmate at all.

I don't think prison inmates are allowed to chat with people online. I agree that you should be cautious meeting people online though, since there are con artists out there. As a general rule, if you agree to meet someone you talk to online, meet at least the first time in a public place (like a cafe, library or something) and tell a friend where you are going. Also if I were you I wouldn't give anyone I met online money, at least not until I'd met them in person. There are some really manipulative people who target single women online and try to get them to give them money or their credit card details etc. with sob stories.

Clubs can be good, and volunteering. I used to volunteer in a book store, and there were male volunteers too. I've also volunteered at things like arts festivals and met a lot of people, men and women, that way. I've been in book clubs, but they tend to be mostly women, except for the crime novel club I was in which was about 50/50, but that's no good if you don't like crime novels. Things like Rotary also have plenty of men. I don't know if you have Rotary in the US. It's a charitable organisation.

Isn't Rotary meant for just men?

Nope. Not since 1989.

But really I meant it as an example. There are lots of organisations like that.

I understand that there are lots of people who are single, who would prefer to have a spouse or partner. It sometimes seems strange to me that there are lots of men who say that there aren't single women available and lots of women who say there aren't single men available.

I've known both women and men, who I considered to be attractive (I don't mean that I was attracted to those particular individuals, but that they seemed like very attractive people to me) who complained that they couldn't get a man or a woman and that was also a bit difficult for me to understand.

There are lots of advantages to being single. Perhaps people who are single and not happy about being single, could think about the advantages they have from being single. If you find it difficult to see advantages to being single, ask someone who is married what they are, they will tell you very quickly :)

People who are happy with their situation, probably have a much better chance of meeting someone, than if they come across as dissatisfied and being in any way needy. So, paradoxically if you can enjoy being single, you might increase your chances of meeting someone.

I'm not needy. I would simply like a companion. Day in and day out, the same. Sure I want to spend those days with a man. Don'tget myself wrong, I love my roommate. But even she has a boyfriend. I'm tired.

Well, I've made it this far and am still single. I'm way past the point of still looking.

I've had 4 close calls but never tied the knot. The first turned out to be a massive cheater. Fortunately I found out the day I was about to ask her hand in marriage. Number 2 turned out to be in trouble with the FBI. Again, I learned about that one when the FBI knocked on my door looking for her before I asked for marriage but was thinking about it. Number 3 seemed a perfect match but I could not handle the 40+ year age difference. I will say she proved beyond any doubt that older women are better lovers. Holy Mackeral! Number 4 turned out to be an escapee from a looney bin. She had killed her previous boyfriend in a crazed fit of rage. I was just lucky they found her and took her back before she turned nuts on me.

I quit looking after that 4th attempt and am perfectly fine without a mate.

I've been happily married since 2006 <3 @Spontaneo, it's true, you can meet the man of your dreams out of the blue when you're not even trying, when you least expect it. I met my husband when I was fed up with the dating scene. He asked me out, and I felt while I found him attractive, he probably wasn't my type. We became friends and eventually started dating. Fast forward to 2024 and we're still happily married. Don't give up hope!
