"Why are you single?"

Post Reply New Topic

If a girl asked me that, I'd say it was because I'm socially awkward, not interested in most of the things women are interested in, and that I'm bad in bed. It would be true.

Generally speaking, the only people who've asked me a question like are the sort I wouldn't be interested in. So even if it wasn't Rhetorical, which is mostly likely is, It wouldn't do them, or me, a bit of good.

Where the hell are all the Amy Farah Fowlers in this world? She's Cute, has eccentric hobbies, and is smart!

There are people who use dating sites who are in various forms of a relationship yet still date. I think it's a relevant question. If they lie they go to hell (if you believe in the place, personally I think it's Hell on earth.. I'm off topic now), but it gives a person an opportunity to tell the truth.

I like the taste of female flesh [too much].

My mother keeps asking me this.

A few months ago, I had the following dialog with a (male) fellow student:

Fellow student: "You're single, right?"
Me: "Yes, how did you get that?"
Fellow student: "You work so much, you wouldn't have time for a girlfriend."

I feel that these days my social skills are good, because of the efforts I have made. However, it is only recently that I have become socially attractive, and in that time I haven't met anyone special yet. I did meet a girl recently who bought me a drink, and we're still in touch, so we'll see what happens.

I'm currently in an relationship much to my own surprise it is going awesome.

But my answer was always narcissistic "Women feel guility keeping me all to themselves" Or "Well they can't handle me in the sack unfortunately" Basicly keep it cheeky an vain

If only they'd phrase it like I sometimes do, "How is an awesome catch like yourself still single?"

The other way sounds more accusatory than complimentary...

That character sure, but she's just an archetype.. who goes after another archetype.

"I'm single because I don't have a girlfriend."

^ I'm rather fond of literal, deadpan comedic responses like that.

I'm single because I can't be with the guy I love and don't want a relationship with anyone else.

I'm single because my personality is changing too rapidly for my brain to keep up with, and I'm still under the influence of years and years of conditioning telling me that everyone hates me, and that I am therefore unworthy of any romantic relationship... both statements which are outdated and no longer true, but I have yet to fully realize this and integrate it completely into my psychology.


How's that for a response to that question?

It's odd cause like.. if a girl I found attractive ever asked me a question like this..

I'd probably say something like "Ya know, I'm not sure, wanna grab a coffee and help me figure it out?"

Sadly that's not happened yet..

I always hated being asked this. It just meant to tell them about my AS and I didn't want to and I didn't want to sound like I was using it as an excuse for my reason for being single and blaming it on it.
