    Never was. I have my 2nd serious girlfriend now, I’m 45 now and I wasn’t longer than maybe 2 weeks single since I was 15. No, I’m not especially attractive for the objective eye / common taste, I’m kinda fat, kinda Sport guy, just a country guy living in the city, I guess. I for myself think that I’m breathtakingly beautiful, as is my wife even more so, naturally ;) IDK, maybe I fall relatively easily in love?? And when I do, something in me changes profoundly. There were 2 or 3 girls in the weeks inbetween, but nothing to speak about. My girlfriends were all from my high school, the first one for 5 years, the second (my wife with whom I’ll grow old) now 23 years and still walking the walk, still discovering new things on each other. Next year we will marry, for economical reasons, we don’t need a piece of paper or any religion, as we see it, we’re married, best friends, therapists, audience, business partner and much much more for each other. Plus: she must be the only individual in this universe that can bear with me silly goof. I’m sure I’d simply die without her. I don’t know why, but single life never ever seriously crossed my mind as I realize just now. Not once. Hmm.

    Yes, because too young. Also, what does it matter, can’t you find happiness in your life without the approval of another?

    This made me remember that stupid 4chan /vp/ meme, where people would post an image of a blinking Vaporeon and ask “why you simgle master?”.

    Actual answer: I’ve been weathering a few difficult relationships in my last years, and I’m not really in the mood for a new one.

      The “intentions” (whatever this esoteric word means) of other people are never clear. And people might fool themselves by claiming that they know otherwise, but they don’t.

      In other words: OP is asking a question, treat it as such, instead of assuming too much out of it.

        At the time I answered, he had only gotten a few negative responses from people and a lot of downvotes, and I genuinely didn’t know where to approach the question from.

        Informing him that his question was unclear in a neutral tone was a genuine attempt at being helpful.

        You are reading a lot more judgement from my comment than I think is appropriate.

          My own comment sounded rude. Sorry for that.

          I wasn’t highlighting any sort of judgment from your part, I was highlighting the fact that we [people] don’t really know each others’ intentions. As such, it’s simply easier to see OP’s question by what it is, without digging too deeper on it.

            I see! I do appreciate you pushing for more understanding. :) Op didn’t need all the negativity from people.
