Yep I would also consider myself single for all of my life so far. Not sure what other people would think since I've had a few pretty close guy friends that I have talked about a lot, but there was never any romance (whatever that is) involved. I tell people it's because I give off the "if you try anything I'll kill you, publicly humiliate you, and then knock you into the middle of next week" vibe. Seems to discourage most guys.

Have been single since December 2011 (almost 3 years).

How about you---have you recently just been single or has it been too long?

I'm new to all of this. No, not engaged but I'm in a relationship. Single is single. Isn't it?

Tintin ruined my plans of being single. He's ruined it for just over two months now, and he's done a rather great job of it.

On another note, exactly four weeks until I can stroke his beard! ... I mean, see him. Yes.

Are you gonna cut off a swatch of hair from his beard and tie it with a little ribbon to bring home with you ?

We've had some serious 'couples' discussions, one of them where I asked if I could cut off some of his beard and glue it to my face, which he disagreed to being a part of. The other night, I asked I could keep some of his beard in a little glass jar and then tie it around my neck, again, same response, he said 'no'.

But you know, eventually we'll come to that place where we can both compromise and come to some mutual agreement. Communication is the key!

(Lol, joke, I'm going to cut off some of his beard in his sleep then flee the country)

P.S. I seriously don't know how he puts up with my sense of humour, or any of my friends, at that.

Since mid January, officially. But actually, for a very long time. Now I'm a happy single.

Since January 1979. In and out of relationships but only married from 1972 until Jan of 79. So I would say longer than I like to admit.

I know how. 3 reasons: 1) I love you. 2) I love your weird sense of humour and am weird myself. 3) I love you, Arlene.

I've been single now about 8 1/2 years. It has been very hard for many reasons. I was married over 25 years and divorced due to abuse of the children. I sure can see why God hates divorce. One parent was not meant to do all this alone. I dated three different men down through those years and I came away from that with a bad attitude toward men. God is healing me of that. I have come to the place where I am content to be single, and if God has somebody for me to spend the rest of my life with that is fine too.

That is a long time to be single and alone. God is obviously conducting an extensive and exhaustive search to find just the right guy for you.

sassylady: Perfect! That's exactly how I feel. As Paul said, I have learned in whatever circumstance I find myself in to be content. :)

Besides, there's far too much to enjoy in life to spend time moping about something I don't have that (I think) I need.
