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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Famous Quotes

If you have a harem of 40 women, you never get to know any of them very well.

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!

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!

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

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

why is having high standards a bad thing? Why would I settle to someone I don't think is good enough for me? wtf...I'm confused...

I hav been single for 17 yrs 2Yrs after separating, I was hit while driving

the article is clearly a reflection of the writers issues with men and she can't deal with independence becuase of a codependent issue . the writer needs psychotherapy ! transmute the root and have a tissue for the issue and until the writer faces her own issues and quits blaming men for her problems and sees her self as the soul cause and effect of her own suffering her relationships will be shallow , reflect everything she can't open and find within her self and doomed to fail because she seeks outside what she should be seeking inside first. worst writer and article read yet on this junk app

why don't u dummy women stop blaming men for your issues , you choose to feel what u do and each new venture is just that ,NEW!!! when you stop living in the past and assuming and letting past chosen suffering no longer exist you will experience new!!!! happiness . quit your whining , fave your fears and turn it into fearlessness , empower yourselves , live in the now , not five years ago , and go with the flow , take out your judgements and expectations and let a date be what it will without letting ur egos get in the way , that means let go fear , desire to make anything it is not and accepting it for what it is . get out of yor mind and be the moment !!fuckem stupid over analyzing women and you wonder why your fuckin single !! go take a good look in the mirror , all responded here do everything that rewind men . th e art of being a women is using it's full ability of power on every level with men , but being a whiny despo cunt with a thousand issues , but being a goddessoflight , who creates her own destiny one moment at a time never limiting and being in the now , not ten minutes ago or ten years ago ! that and the power of yeilding to all is the greatest power , that's not just in men and accepting them as they are but in life it self.

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

I'm so single, you already know...I won't have a boyfriend, from today until I die... No one likes me, I'm unattractive, none of the boys like me so I am so-oh-oh jea-a-lous🎶🎶

My heels are higher than your standards! Lol

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. :)
