I'm single... Didn't had any boyfriend since birth... Now, your thinking what 'am I waiting for? I'm crazy? whatever... Seriously, being single? I must say that it is my choice. And I don't know Why and what do I want to enter in a relationship. It's hard for me trust guys... But I do have male friends of course. I don't know what you call it, a man hater? maybe yes and not... Weird Huh? My friends ask why I'm still single, And many don't believe that I've been single since birth LOL... I don't know the reason why I'm like this, maybe I'm too serious or what. I don't enter a relationship just for the sake that I have a boyfriend.

I dont think you're crazy at all. I think the people who think that they are not "complete" unless they are part of a couple are the crazy ones!! I think there are far too many who enter relationships just for the sake of it and end up hurt and heartbroken. Enjoy your single life

It's funny but when I was younger, and single, I always imagined myself married with children. I wasn't the type either who had a lot of suitors. In fact, maybe only 1 or 2. You know what, it's nice to be single. If I had to make a choice again, I would remain single. I would not marry anymore. Let me ask you, are you bothered that until now you're single and never had a boyfriend? Be happy to be single. Everything has its purpose.

LOL, I enjoy being single... Sometimes? to my family and friends who ask why I'm still single and not go out with any guy... :) But I'm not that affected, I just ignore them and smile, laugh and enjoy... I Like what you said "Everything has it's purpose"

Bravo!You are not one among the crowd.Young girls and boys now a days are rushing up into relationships and break them at the same speed.They don't know what they really want.Just to avoid being odd,they want to have boy/girl friends and they worry a lot about this relationship.This is the time to study well and earn a good job first.Then everything will follow smoothly.

Hi vycess, i think being single is not a problem, its your choice and you feel happy for it, I have a lot of friends who are single and they say, everyday is a happy day, lol, I ask you something, do you have a plan to go on single forever? How about when the time comes that you need somebody to be your partner in life, because its not easy to be single when getting older, would you consider to have a boyfriend for instance?

Not always true aamir dear. :) At times it just happens that when you meet the person everything seems realistically and logically right, except that nagging feeling that am I doing the right thing? I love getting up late, I love being irresponsible, I love hanging out with friends. Is that enjoyable part of my life just going to stop? It is that realization that makes some us balk. I think marriage in later stages of life is tougher to handle as everybody gets habituated to his or her own lifestyle. It can happen that while young a person was too focused on getting a career and establishing himself or herself as times are / were hard. In process the person suddenly finds himself or herself past the usual phase and then reasoning takes over. :)

Being single is a choice or one's preferences. Most common reasons why some people choose to be single are the following: by choice preferences meaning it is your own decision, confident that things are better and enjoys being single with no commitments may have encountered a traumatic stage in life meaning they have some family problems encountered and by being single made them feel secured they will not experience the same problem again tired of loving over again and resulted to failures family ties trend meaning sometimes family affections and environment can contribute to one's choice of being single fear of loving then loosing brought about being rejected in a relationship family obligations some choose to stay in their own families as form of gratitude never found the partner who will meet his /her standards But, in all these, there is nothing wrong about being single. It is a choice. There are some single persons who are more credible in giving good advices and more successful in career. For they can complete the task well and give priorities by preferences and justification. Merry christmas

When I was single I was not by choice. I was looking for a husband but did not get one until my late twenties. I did have a boyfriend during the time i was 16 to 17, but he got me pregnant and no one would have anything to do with me. I had to go to those dating services and they were no good because they figured since I was no longer a virgin. I met my husband at a home church meeting and we have been married since 1972. All right, lets get down to perspective. If you had proposals and even though you loved the guy very much, you got along well, and you said no, you loved the single life, if you were a Roman Catholic and decided to become a Nun, or you avoid men altogether and made sure that you had no relations even s*xual ones. However, if you were kept from dating, lived with over protective maiden aunts, or whatever, so that you never even got a chance to see a guy or if someone else snatched up the guy, then it is cnance. I would say in your case, it is not a choice, the right one has not come around or else for some terrible reason, there was a right one for you and he probably married the wrong girl or was killed or else he lives in another continent, etc. and you would never meet him unless a miracle happened.

my sister accepted suitors a few months after college and not that really serious when she got one. its not that she just wanted to experience it or something else but its not her priority. she is a dentist and she was having a good career with her profession during that time and she just cant stay out focus to it coz she's earning good from it until she found the guy whom she considered being with for the rest of her life. i really believe that there's always a time and place for everything vycess. merry christmas and happy mylotting.

Worry not. When true love shows up, it will have lots and lots of chemistry. You won't say no. True love has no time table. Sometimes it doesn't show up until later in life. Always be open. True love tends to show up when you least expect it.

Hello vycess. I am not going to be pretend that I am a know-it-all. And tell you why you're single. And I have not read all the responses here so, maybe this has already been said. This is just my opinion... I think what you need is to broaden your horizon. If you're thinking that being single is your choice, then maybe you haven't seen the bigger world. Maybe your circle is so small that you are left with no choice but to remain single.

Hehehe ... that's not a choice but time will tell, not us or you are wanting, but we are also often experienced trauma in a relationship, especially the relationship between a woman with a man, I'm sure you'll find the right person for your life. Good Luck !!!!

i think that this is your selection.actually everybody's decision is different,so the result is different,from your opinion,actually you hope to be single,only for a boyfriend,of couse this is good reason,but is it really waiting what you miss the people?did he really value you to wait?you should think about sincerely.

Someday, you'll find yourself crazy enough to forgo the things that you like about singlehood - that is, if you found the one. You're still young, vycess, and a lot of things are still in store for you. I could say that you're single because the pool of guys hanging around do not really amount to much (according to your standards, that is) hence, you're single by choice. But who knows what will happen in the next couple of months? Keep it simple, live life, just go with the flow, and it will come to you.

I take that as a good thing that you don't rush in, when you find a person you want to have a relationship with it will happen. I have girlfriends who are so desperate for a boyfriend they date anyone, including people totally wrong for them who realise this and end up dumping the girl and hurting her.

maybe you haven't met the right one yet... it will come... your prince charming will definitely sweep you away at the right time... for the mean time, just enjoy being single.. i don't also believe that being single is a matter of chance. it is of course our choice!

It could be a chance if you don't have any suitors; However, in your case, I think it's matter of a choice. You look pretty, specially in Filipino standards. It's not weird if you choose not to be in a relationship at the moment. It doesn't matter what other people say, it's your choice. So what if you haven't found that one person to sweep you off your feet? When the right time comes, he will come.
