Single and loveless and not dating at the moment

Posted on | June 26, 2009 | 7 Comments

single It’s hard when you are single and loveless. And not dating at the moment. I mean, people who know you would always greet you with a question about your lovelife. It’s annoying to say the least. I am experiencing this firsthand from relatives. They are afraid that I am not searching and I might end up a spinster. In my mind, I always answer them with a “so what?!?”.

There’s nothing wrong with growing old alone. As long as you are not lonely and miserable. I am far from lonely and miserable. I am not defensive at all. Just stating a fact. I might get lonely in a few years, who knows. But hey, I am not closing my doors to the love of my life who has yet to come. I just might get married next year or the next.

Who really knows?!

Hi young Lady, just be yourself..and smile as you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
And I assure you, that person who will sweep you off into the sunset is around, only your paths have not crossed yet. It will, believe you me.
Love comes when you least expect it….
Meantime, you just keep a song in your heart and have a pleasant weekend, best regards, Lee.

Hi Lady, I forgot…for every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.
And the most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman’s heart.
And someday, one day soon, that heart will be yours.
Have a nice day, Lee.

Well, it’s even worse in China that relatives or friends CARE so much about single ladies… I mean, they always ask the same question as you mentioned.
Exactly as you said,”So What?”

Everyone has a way to live, a life to experience. No matter what way… as long as the person is happy. I’m not sure if you know Chinese , we like to say “yi qie shun qi zi ran” (means let things go the way they are something like that ) and we believe in “yuan fen” (destiny. ) Good luck to you!

I’ve been single since I was 25 and I will be 30 on Monday. It’s really scary how fast the time goes by. I wish that I could meet someone that would be right, but it just hasn’t happened. I can see how easy it is for some people to end up spending their whole lives alone. Meeting someone that is compatible and right for you is a hard thing to do.

i think it’s one’s personal choice to chose to be single. If one could not find the right person to fall in love with, why force oneself to be attached or get married right? For my side, my relatives will ask and ask about my life too (when u getting married, when u having a kid etc) but at the end of the day, it seems this is the only conversation i had with them especially if i only meet them once a year during festive reason. Don’t be too bothered with them, perhaps they are just trying to strike a topic.

Hello. Good thing you’re not lonely being single. I’m also single but that doesn’t mean I am not happy. I’m also not closing doors to a love that may come into my life.

Someone’s happiness should not be defined by whether or not they are dating. Just be happy with you, that’s all that counts. People will always ask questions.

If you were dating, they’d ask when you’re getting married.
If you get married, they ask when you’re having children.
You get one child, they ask when the second one is coming.
It never ends.
