1. You Are Afraid of Rejection

Fear of rejection is a common problem that prevents many from advancing in their romantic life and it may be one of the reasons why you are still single. Putting yourself out there and exposing your feelings makes you feel vulnerable. Not everyone is willing to risk getting hurt, which is why many of us hold back from making the first move. Rejection however, is inevitable so unless you want to remain single for the rest of your life, stop fearing something that is bound to happen.

2. You Play Hard to Get

Playing hard to get can make things a little bit confusing to the person you are trying to attract. Flirting one minute and canceling on plans the next is not the way to attract your Mr.Right. Plus mixed signals are way too easy to get tired of, to the point that someone you actually really like might be frustrated enough to stop pursuing you. So if you feel like there might be something going on, admit to your feelings instead of playing games.

3. You Have High Standards

I blame every romance movie for putting the idea of Prince Charming into our heads. From the beginning we were brainwashed into thinking that a perfect guy is out there, giving us false hope that someday we will find someone who will reach our high expectations. In reality those are just unrealistic standards that will never be met!

4. You Are Hung up on Your Ex

Your prolonged single status might be explained by the leftover feelings you must still have for your ex and the only way for you find someone else, is to move on from the past. There isn’t a deadline by which you must get over your previous relationships but you must realize that some people are not made for each other, and it’s possible to fall in love for the second time.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. You Have Low Self-esteem

Countless numbers of people want a fulfilling relationship more than anything, but they have this certain belief that nobody out there would ever be interested in them. This negative mental thinking only makes you engage in behavior that pushes other people away. Drop the idea that nobody worthwhile will ever see you as someone to date and instead, work on your confidence!

6. You Have Commitment Issues

You may not realize it yourself, but you might actually have serious commitment issues; because you are afraid of getting emotionally attached, becoming dependent on the other person or most importantly hurt. Consequently, you avoid any long-term relationships and resort to light and casual fun. To overcome your fear of commitment, take chances and put faith in someone because you never know, maybe they might not disappoint!

7. You Value Your Independence

Many people are too much of a ‘free spirit’ to be tied down to one person. They don’t want to have to be responsible for another person, be obligated to spend time with them or have to think about how their partner would feel in a certain situation. If this is the case, this phase may soon die down because we all settle down at one point or another!

Whether you are single by choice or not, there is always a clear explanation as to why. You might not be in the right mindset or stage in your life to start a blossoming relationship. How would you explain your single relationship status? Share in the comments!

Some of the things in this article may be true but I don't like how it places all the blame on the woman.

I realised my relationships don't work due to the emotional scars left by my ex leading to my commitment issues

I need help I like this boy and he used to act intrested in me by saying im hot and stuff and after him and my ex had an argument he was so blunt with me he hangs around with every girl but me I don't know why #help

I don't think this article hit the MAIN points for being single.

To cont. I love my independence ,don't want to have to compromise on every choice ,it's my experience that man like to be patted on head for every thing they do & most want to have control over most things I.e , be the boss & are so overprotective or as I see it I 'be spent too many years catering to husband , boyfriends & doing most of parenting , although would never giv them up; I guess many years have been spent with confinement a & now I want to do what I want!

Ladies, the author clearly stated that this article is for those who "worry" or who are "confused" why they are still single. So if you don't fall into that category, then this is not for you since there are ladies who chose to be single and not questioning that choice. ;) Women have different approach on dating and love, so we should all respect that and wish everyone true happiness. :)

and in truth all we have is now and me right now may change day to day . there's nothing wrong with that , it's simply the flow of nature . it's some idiot who said we had to manogomous . we are like any other animal and when you realize nature calling u within , listen , because what u resist will only create an issue that will persist . your the source of your own greif and happiness . not anyone or anything else . and personally the idea of magogomy is a giant illusion to make money for the government and devolve nature . won't have any part of it , and those who do are ignoring true nature .

My heels are higher than your standards! Lol

Yep this article defines me... Ladies could anyone give me advice ? I am 16 soon to be 17. I like this guy who I work with who is 17. I don't know what to do, I want to get to known him more but at work we can't really talk much with each other. What can I do? How do I know I he feels the same way ? Or is just me hoping he likes me... Please help me out
