You are attractive, smart, educated, and kind. Yet, you have been single since you can remember. You are a caring friend, everybody tells you that you would make an excellent girlfriend, and people are trying to set you up with different guys, but somehow, you don’t click with anyone. You know how awesome you are, but you can’t help but wonder if everything is okay with you and how come you are still single. Here are 10 possible reasons that can help you answer that question.
You are self-confident
Although self-confidence we all strive for, and it’s one of your most empowering qualities, the fact is that sometimes guys can be intimidated by it. Guys are simply scared even to approach you, because you know your worth and are always sure in yourself. Most of them have a very fragile ego and just can’t take it to be with a strong woman such as yourself. It doesn’t mean you should put yourself down, just to find a man. Keep going and someone with the same amount of self-esteem will come along.
Your social life is fulfilling
One of the reasons you are still single may be that you have an amazing group of friends that you spend your free time with and who distract you from looking for a boyfriend. Although you may think that being an extrovert is a quality that helps you meet new guys, you have so many people in your life you simply don’t feel the need for a man in it. And you know that when you get a boyfriend, you won’t be able to spend as much time with your friends as you do know, and you don’t know if you are ready for something like that.
You feel complete without a man
You are an independent woman who is able to sustain herself, emotionally and financially. There is nothing you can’t do alone that you need a boyfriend for. You didn’t lose hope in love, you are just aware of your individuality and are not seeking confirmation in a guy. You are not one of those women who identify themselves through their romantic partners. If the right man comes along, that is nice, but you feel complete without him in the picture too.
You don’t want to settle
You know that there is plenty time for you to find your Mr. Perfect. You know exactly what you are looking for in a man, and you don’t even think of settling for anything less. You are not looking for someone perfect on paper, you are looking for someone who will be perfect for you. But you don’t plan on being with someone just so you won’t be alone or just because society tells you it’s time to settle. Until you finally meet the right guy, you don’t have a problem with being single.
You are concentrated on your career
Before entering a serious relationship, you want to focus on your career first. You have spent most of your life studying to be what you are, and now, when you finally have your career, you are more than good in it. If you try to have a committed relationship, either your career or your boyfriend would have to suffer. So now you are aware that you don’t have the time nor the energy to be fully devoted to a relationship, so you’ve decided to put that aspect of your life on hold, and there is nothing wrong with that.
You despise modern dating
You may be old-school, but you just can’t find yourself in the concept of modern dating. And you enjoy romantic, old-fashioned gestures and you despise texting, one night stands, and casual affairs. You are not ready to do something just to satisfy the norms of society, so you would rather stay single until you find the guy who is up for the real deal.
You enjoy your single life
Maybe you are not aware of it, but deep down, you love your single life. Of course, sometimes you miss having someone special in it, but you know that having a relationship would change your current life setting in one way or another, and you enjoy it too much to let it happen. Your life is simply perfect as it is.
