Have you ever gotten to the point where you realize that you may not want a fairytale ending becuase they don't exsist...and you may just want to stay single because you don't think there's anyone that compliments you.

I don't think that fairy tale endings truly exist...but I do believe that there is someone out there for everyone...we just havent met them yet because one or both of us has some more lessons that we need to learn....
I am a single mom, 31, never married, and I almost allowed myself to settle with someone that I wasnt complettely in love with because I had lost my faith in true love....thank goodness I came to my senses!
Now I just live my life, do things that make me happy, and spend time with those I love....when we're ready, I will find my one true love!
Good luck and I hope that you don't lose your faith in true love!

You are probably more honest than most people. Sure, I see a lot of people in relationships with too much drama in their lives. I'm 22 and I haven't dated in almost 4 years. I'm much happier than I ever was while dating someone steady. I do go out occasionally to meet new people, but I'm always very honest about not wanting to commit to anything serious. I would rather be single than to be with the wrong person. Being single gives me time to figure out what I want out of life instead of living my life the way someone else wants. When I have figured out what I truly want and need, I think someone will come into my life who will be a suitable match for me. If I never find that person, then I know I have still followed my dreams and that's something I would regret more than never having the perfect marriage or family.

Sure, a lot of single people that find themselves in and out of relationships can often get discouraged, especially as you start to approach 30. The important thing to realize is that you're not the only one who feels that way. Sooner or later, you'll find the right person who has probably spent a lot of time feeling the same way.
Remember too, that a good relationship tends to sneak up on you when you least expect it. It's not about how much effort you put into finding the right person. It's about the nature of the way you go about living your life. Being yourself and full of life will get the "right" someone's attention. Trust me!

I would rather be single for the right reasons, than to be with someone for all the wrong ones,
yea I am single and in my 40's but if I keep attracting the same women riffraff(abusers,drugaddicts,etc) I will stay alone because I am getting tired of my heart being used as a doormat

There are no "fairytale endings" to begin with.
yeah, i have been through that phase where i just want to stay single because there is not out there specifically made for me. but the point is to not feel that way, to go out of the way to find someone that you feel comfortable and secure with.

I'm 12 years old and hav never had a boyfriend. Right now I consider being single something good and bad. Good- You can focus on schoolwork and friends, Bad- You r a little lonely. I do hav a crush but since I havn't had a boyfriend I hav been a straight A student.

I'm not ugly nor am I an ogre, but I am single. I explain to everyone that 'though i am alone, i am not lonely'. I am comfortable enough to go on trips by myself, but not brave enough to go to movies alone. I have no problem talking to people. At the same time, I don't pull my hair out screaming 'why doesn't anybody like me'. Whatever happens will happen. Just go with the flow of the wind.

Although i am single, I am in love. It is the second time, and again, I fell in love with the wrong girl, as I can't do anything about it.
I often ask my self what would happen if i act on my feelings, and talk with that girl.
Hope i got on subject

Yes, after going through an extremely ugly divorce that hurt my kids terribly, I don't think I want to risk being wrong again. I'll settle for a lot of fun but short relationships.

No. There's always someone for everybody. Even if you just don't seem to find the right person, then maybe you just got to open your eyes. Nobody is ever alone. They may feel like they are, but they aren't.
