Are you single?

[Halfhourdays]

Are you single? If so, are you looking for a relationship or have you given up?

 

[NonEssential]

I've always been single. Is it considered "giving up" if I've never tried to get in to a relationship?

 

[Apokryphiel]

I haven't really had any relationships since I was a fair bit younger, if you could even derive any meaning out of what those were. Finding love has always been something that's very important to me; I feel it was my only reason for life, the only meaning I'd ever be able to make of all this.

Not all lives need meaning to have lived, though..

 

[NeverHis]

Always been single. Nobody wants to date a sick person. So I've given up on finding someone.

 

[Rymrgand]

Single. I haven't given up, but I'm not really looking actively for a relationship, because I think that would happen naturally, after finding friends and then getting along really well with one of those friends. I'm not hot enough to be successful in a dating app or something like that, after all, and I don't really like them too much.

But even if I haven't given up, I think my future is closer to SN than to a SO.

 

[사람이 없어]

Yeah. Tried a few long distance but I feel awful as I rely on skinship as my primary way of showing love and affection and the distance doesn't let you experience that.

Locally I get catcalled a lot but beyond creeps or weird af people nobody ever shows their interest in me that way, and it's hard in general to meet people here in this country which is extremely asocial and people-phobic by nature. Add on top being very unique and many probably think I am trying to attract pdfs (going by what I read online and what some friends told me in relation to ppl that dress like me) which further doesn't help ig.

 

[whiskers]

Always been single.

 

[33-vertebrae]

I've always been single, but have had like two "flings".

Never had an actual relationship with someone who had feelings for me.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I'm in a long-distance relationship

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm comfortable being single now. Hasn't always been the case but, it's a relief to be free of all that.

 

[loopa]

ofk, because I'm an ugly girl with autism lol

 

[Nobodi]

Given up on that completely, it's useless plus if I form one with anyone that just end ip hurting them when I pass. I don't want sell dream and end up delivering a nightmare when I pass away. The only connection I truly have is the one with god/ higher self whatever metaphor to place on it. Even it doesn't exist it still feels nice to hold onto it

 

[GhostInTheMachine]

I've had a number of relationships, and all but my current one have gone south. I'm still on good terms with my most recent ex, and him and my current BF are still friends as well. I do worry that one day I will end up hurting my current BF if I CTB. Initially I sought relationships out, but after being burned I gave up. Only reason me and my BF are dating now is because we spent so much time together that eventually love blossomed between us. I still hurt though, so I always tell people not to rely on others to fix them.

 

[Grav]

Married. 25 years.

 

[Zoro1029]

Once I made the decision to CTB I stopped caring about relationships or sex. I didnt want someone to get attached to me and have to deal with the aftermath of what I would eventually do. My family will unfortunately but I have to seek peace for myself.

It kinda sucks cause Ive always been told im attractive but being anxious, depressed and a homebody prevented me from dating. Kinda feels like a waste of looks lol. But I am at peace with it.

 

[tiredash]

I always been single because women dont want weak pathetic men... Well, some actually do, but the trick is that they never want me specifically...

Yeah. Tried a few long distance but I feel awful as I rely on skinship as my primary way of showing love and affection and the distance doesn't let you experience that.

can i see how you dress?

 

[사람이 없어]

can i see how you dress?

I like showing off but don't want to dox myself too easily (already way too many breadcrumbs, tho lol)
But this is pretty much the style that I wear a lot, but in various colors more/less cute styles depending on the day!:

Add on top hair with various cute accessories, and at times straight up baby-pink hair to match my coord!

 

[Namelesa]

I am a single. I have been in relationships before but honestly I wish I never went into one as its kinda been the cause for me to suffer so much. Before relationships I didn't desire them that much and didn't understand what people got out of them but that's cus I didn't experience much human connection as I never had any proper friends back then. When I entered one it introduced me to so many new things that I hadn't yet experienced so when it ended it broke me and everything else in life became empty without having a relationship. Relationships are now so hard to keep for me cus of my mental problems such as a fear of abandonment, paranoia of doing anything wrong but also being an emotional burden that needs a lot of support to function. I am really scared of going into one again but I feel like it's the only way to make me feel better but that's hard to do cus of family trapping me home due to my suicidalness.

[BloomingAzaleas]

Single and never been interested in dating, but want to fall in love one day

 

[GlassMoon]

I politely request the usual "It's complicated" to be added as an option :-)

 

[s00ngone]

Single. Left with the whiplash of a relationship that seemed to be going great on the surface but was actually founded on delusional fantasies on my part. I was just looking through our text conversation and it makes me sick to my stomach to see how normally we were talking, how in love we both seemed (and he probably was) despite how unreal things were. There was never a real chance. I see him in pictures with the Star Wars blanket I lent him. I still have his poncho and his Cookie Monster sweats, the journal he gave me for Christmas that became my so-called "spellbook" while I was very detached from reality.

Before him, a guy I met on Tinder and knew for about 2 months. Also beautiful, soulful, troubled. He was very into me but I couldn't decide how I felt, which seemed to be nothing. I then obsessed over things for 2 years.

And before that, a similar non-relationship in high school where I shut down and couldn't make up my mind on/access how I felt, or if I felt.

I'm not holding out for another one. The couple months I had with Shayan were proof enough that I'm not able to navigate these things, or handle life enough, to keep going.

Should be really quick to find on reddit if you set your standards low enough.

Yeah it should be pretty easy lol. Just gotta figure out how to separate the genuinely decent guys from the rest and then I'll be set.

 

[mikgazer6]

Single. I strongly prefer being alone and the only relationships (of any kind) that I can and care to sustain are ones that require little to no emotional investment in the other party and offer worthwhile benefit to both parties. However, I'm not entirely against the possibility of a romantic relationship. I think it is highly improbable but not impossible. This and I also just don't feel much romantic or sexual interest in people.

What's a chaser?

 

[horrorofBeing]

Former "serial monogamist" but for a few years now I have had a fear of human intimacy. I don't really want to feel this way, but live human beings just make me nervous and irritable. I find I can manage my feelings better when I isolate myself.

 

[deadbidaylight]

In a long term relationship (almost 10 years and share a daughter together). I've always wondered when it will end. We're not always on great terms and I think us splitting is inevitable. I've decided if we ever split I will never date again.

Having my daughter is what I always wanted and wished for for many years. I'm fine with it being just us. Partnership? Nah. I've had a good run, had lots of fun in my younger years. Now I couldn't be bothered with romantic feelings or physical intimacy. I can get it done just fine on my own…well I guess before these damn meds
