Why Are You Still Single?

Don't Want To Settle

You, more than others, have a fairy tale fantasy of how things should be. Ever since you were a kid, you've probably dreamed of the perfect wedding, coming home to a white picket fence, dog, and 2.2 kids (how does that work, anyway?). When someone asks what you're looking for, you don't skip a beat: You're likely to have a handy checklist that details your perfect partner. Hair and eye color, height, religion, education, career, interests, the list goes on.

While it's great to have standards — Hey, you shouldn't have to settle, after all — there's one slight glitch in your master plan: No one has made the grade in real life — at least not yet. Next time you're out with someone, keep yourself from mentally checking that list, and give love — and others — a chance. That special someone who you've written off may be perfect for you after all...

Don't Want To Commit

Once the blush of first love wears off with your partners, do you get a little antsy? You probably crave excitement in all realms of your life, and you need a relationship to keep you filled with possibilities. Let us guess: Someone has probably told you that you haven't quite grown up yet, that you're still holding out for the perfect "whatevers" (job, car, home, date) in your life to come a knockin'. Or perhaps you're just having a difficult time accepting that your comfortable little place in this world is always growing, always evolving — and that means you have to be willing to accept big life changes, too. Not that there's anything wrong with that. After all, you're probably a lot of fun to be around and may be the life of the party.

But when it comes to settling down, you leave without looking back twice. Now's the time to ask yourself: Why? What's holding you back? Maybe you don't want someone to get to know you fully? Perhaps by saying "yes" to someone, you're afraid you'll lose yourself, or the possibility of something better coming along. Just remember that the best relationships are those that never stop growing. That's something you can identify with, right? So keep that in mind next time you find someone you're really comfortable with. You never know, it may prove even more exciting once you really get to know each other, teensy flaws and all.

I don't need a quiz to tell me I have commitment issues. *sigh*

Don't Want To Slow Down

Whether you're working all hours, busy with school, or planning a cross-country move, it sounds like you just don't have time for anyone else in your life...right now, that is. Your timing may be off in other aspects, too. Chances are, you've met that perfect person who just so happens to be married or planning their own cross-country move. So take a step back for a moment. Is there something underlying this? Could it be you're afraid to get involved for some reason or another, and are therefore attracted to people who are simply unavailable?

Whether you're secretly sabotaging yourself or not, try a little exercise. Open your mind to those who are around you (and available!) right now. Then let up on your schedule to let that someone in. That is, unless you want to get married to your goals, and not Mr. or Mrs. Right.

That's not really right... It's not that I don't want to slow down. It's that I can't. First, transition is an on-going process. Second, I've just started college. To slow down would be being a slob and an irresponsible nobody. I've got to get a job and support myself.

But it's true. I don't have time for a relationship. With school, doctors, work, learning to drive, theater, transition, etc. I would need to be with someone who was very supportive and who doesn't mind running around a lot.

Mr./Mrs. Right can wait. I don't have to marry right away. I'm 18. I could marry as late as 30.

I am still on the road to self discovery, I really do not some to endure this with me.  Although it would be nice to have someone to hold me during those low times.

I dunno.  While transitoning has kept my plate pretty full, I honestly don't see myself ever getting married again.  To be honest, I don't even see myself dating.  As I sail on with my life, I believe that there is something else waiting for me over that horizon...

I am not single either!    But I suppose that when I was, it was mainly because I was afraid of the unknown  >.  Stupid me!  I was literally making a "storm in a glass of water"!
