1. You Aren't Single, Because You Can't Get a Guy
If you really wanted a boyfriend, you could settle for someone. After all, there will always be a guy out there who would love to call you his girlfriend. Of course, you aren't going to date any old guy, because you have high standards. You aren't going to date someone just to date him. You're holding out for someone that you actually like--someone who actually deserves to be called your boyfriend.
2. You Actually Enjoy Being Alone
You aren't embarrassed about being single, like most other women are. You actually enjoy it. After all, it gives you plenty of alone time, which you absolutely adore. There's something special about being alone in a room without anyone around to bother you. It's freeing. It gives you time to think, time to plan your days, and time to relax.
Frequently asked questions
3. You're Independent
You're a self-sufficient woman who knows how to take care of herself. If you ever decide to date, it won't be because you need a man. It'll be because you want a man. He won't be the one taking care of you, because you're entirely capable of taking care of yourself.
4. You Want Your Man to Have Friends
Women who are "forever alone" know the importance of having a close group of friends. That's why you won't mind letting your future man hang out with his buddies. You know he needs his pals as much as you need yours.
5. You're Strong
You've dealt with a lot of hardships over the course of your life. Of course, you haven't let them get you down. You've been able to survive over the years, even though you didn't have a man by your side. Why? Because you're strong enough to get through your days without another person. You can handle life on your own.
6. You Don't Need a Man to Complete You
You aren't searching for your other half. Why? Because you're already whole. You know that you don't need a man in order to feel like your life is complete. If you decide to date a man, it's only to enhance your already amazing life. You're not foolish enough to think that he's going to turn your whole world around. That's up to you.
7. You Really do Want to Be with Someone
You hate to admit it, but you actually want a boyfriend. You just don't want any old guy. You want a guy who will sweep you off of your feet. You want a guy who will show you what's so great about being in love. You want your Mr. Right.
8. You Respect Privacy
You understand that there's no need to worry about who your significant other is texting or contacting over social media because you trust them. You both have a mutual understanding of needing your own space.
9. You're Not Needy
You're not the type of person to constantly text asking where your boyfriend is at and what they're doing every moment you're not together. You don't jump to conclusions if they're not free to hang either.
10. You Will Be the Best He's Ever Had
If he treats you right, it'll be totally worth it. You don't fall for someone easily, so when you do, it'll be the best relationship ever.
There's nothing wrong with being "forever alone." Plenty of us are. That's why we should try to change it from a negative term to a positive one. Have you ever had a boyfriend before or are you "forever alone"?

LSUjen: @Kate I feel ya. I'm 45, and once thought I would never be able to live with a man even though I'd had several long term relationships. After reuniting with my first love (14 years old, reunited 25 years later), I was living with him and couldn't imagine m
Nosa: I have always been forever alone & I happy to stay this way. It is sad when I look at my sisters and friends cause their happiness relies on the guy of their so called dream, yet seeing the girl worry over every little fart for the guy, but when you see the guy, he does not give a care. So what is the use to go out to find a guy to make you happy ? If you want true , and I mean true happiness . Just take your time to learn from yourself & love your family ,& own self ..... Then later down the road you will know what you want in life .
Natalie: I'm forever alone no guys ever ask me out and the few who do via dating apps disappear after one or two dates. I'm not sure where I go wrong and why I'm of no interest to anyone, but I'm starting to get lonely and tired of being single. I've never had a relationship except 1 that lasted a day literally like less than 24h went by between when he asked me to be his gf and when we broke up. Am I cursed?? Why can't I get a bf it's not like I'm not looking for one
LSUjen: my life without him. 3 years into it, I was involved in a head-on car wreck & in a wheelchair for a year. He left me for another woman & was engaged within 3 months of doing so. I'm much better now, and certainly don't want to live my entire life single,
mannn: if you had a boyfriend girls, you wouldn't have to lie to yourself and you would also feel better.
karen: I love this nothing wrong with being forever alone thank you. This has been bugging me so much Im so glad that this app gets me.
Sab1: I’m 45 and even though I’ve had a few long term relationship now I’m so use to being alone I’m wary of being in a relationship. I love my freedom and independence. I like to think that I can settle down one day.
LSUjen: but I'm not willing to settle simply because I get lonely at times. I've had quite a few men interested in me, but they all seem to be married (AIN'T happening!), or just not wanting to be alone anymore & talk marriage right away.
Shilan92: I'm the most single person ever, but I'm used to it. I hope to find that special person one day though.
Kate: I have been single for 4 yrs now I got divorced last year I enjoy my independence and live alone I'm strong so this post tick all the boxes! I'm looking for the right man but not 'really' looking as it not work if u look too hard when it meant to be meant to be then the right guy will come along I have had a lot of attention from guys since my divorce but they are either married or in a relationship which is frustrating ,at my age which I'm 48 yrs old it hard I want a guy to like me as me not my looks !! I have change my looks since the divorce I have lost weight grown my hair long when I was previously overweight with short hair really frumpy but now I have change my image suddenly guys are noticing me which is ironic even guys that I have known for yrs are looking at me with different eyes and wanting to try on with me!!! I'm a strong woman can look after myself do things myself etc if I don't find one then it no hardship but until then here's hoping!!
