I have had some long term ralationship and some very brief. I am honest, sincere, commited and romantic and successful. I cook, clean, fix the cars, home repair, love outdoors, having fun, being fit and healthy and comforting when the need arises. I feel I have the qualities of a good long term partner, as I have been told by past partners. But what is the problem? Why have I not met the one yet? I do not look real hard I kind of just take things as they come and if a female sparks my interest I attempt a conversation, which generally ends with a night out. Confusing.

You sound nice to me. However you may be looking for the wrong type of girls. I know a lot of people who are attracted to people who realistically never really give them the time of day. Kind of like the big guy who always goes for the Model type females. I find that stereo typing is very typical in our society, so please do not take this the wrong way.
Anyway, it also depends on where you meet these people. I personally do not look for potential dates in a bar. Yet I have a hard time finding single men in Church that are not already committed to something or someone. So, you are really not the only one finding this Confusing.
I've been reading a book called the 5 Love Languages. There are several different books for different situations. Singles, Couples, Children, Teenagers... I found it at a Various Christian Bookstores for about $10-15. You may want to consider picking the one up for Singles. It couldn't hurt... I found it to be very interesting reading, and I'm not one to read self help books. However, the concepts make sense. I've tried a few things and it works...
Anyway, I wish you the best in your search. Just remember to have fun single or not....

You're smart and fussy about the company you keep and you're not all that keen on people generally. Committment does not appeal to you. You are far more spontaneous and monogamy is out the window because you enjoy changing your mind often. You like to travel but haven't done enough of that in your life yet so don't worry about others at this point because when you begin to do some travelling you will find people who are more your speed without tying you all down to obligations and committments and fixed attitudes, all of which just makes you prematurely insufferable. Better be a little upset and single and able to change your life, than all tied down into something which is slowly strangling all your life's blood out of you. You know it.

I can understand your confusion-but I might, MIGHT, have an answer. The females that you have long term relations with, are they the sort that also want a long term relationship? Like as in marriage? There are a growing number of gals that just, for what ever reason, don't want a long term. They want to play the field as the guys do. Nothing wrong with that but you might want to look towards a different type of gal. Change your interest level so to speak.

well, it seems you're doing all the right things. Women spark interest in you, you go out, etc. But have tried to make like a proposal??? You have to get a ring, and then say "Would you marry me?" or something like that. You don't have to be crazy in love to start a family. Only foolish kids do that. Find a person that shares similar values and life outlook that you do, and send her a ring!

Don't worry about it. I am 48 and still single. I don't go out looking for anyone either, if it happens it happens. I date now and then but nothing serious. I am happy and having alot of good times. If Mr. Right comes along so be it if not that's fine too. Don't force it ,if it's meant to be it will. Just live life and have fun.

I have male relatives that have not settled down until they were in their 40's. My brother is going to be 32 when he gets married for the first time. I am currently 35 and still single. The woman that I am dating is not ready for marriage and that is fine with me. Someday the right lady will come into your life and you will be very happy.

stop looking, women don't respond well to men who appear to want to settle down (go figure) you will have better luck when you stop caring so much about finding a partner. The more you act like you don't want a relationship the more women will want to settle with you, just my spill! good luck
