Why I’m still single
Are you still in the single aisle, on some shelf waiting for someone to come dust you off and make you feel special?
What is keeping you single?
Akeem, 31:
I don’t know how to trust and as result of this I’m not as open as I should be. I fear letting someone in and having them hurt me. So I’m somewhat emotionally detached and come across as being cold.
Darnesha, 28:
I have been told I’m miserable and nagging. I just like things done a certain way and I see nothing wrong with talking about the things that others do that get under my skin. I try not to nag, but it always gets out.
Aleisha, 23:
A few guys have told me that I seem unapproachable. At first I found it strange, because I’m a nice girl but I have been told more than once, so I’m trying to smile more and not look so stern.
Fitzroy, 36:
I want love but I hate commitment. I want love and want to have that one woman in my life, but the minute I find myself in a relationship I start looking for the exit sign. I don’t want to feel tied down and feel as if my every move has to be reported. Plus I seem to meet some real clingy women. I need my breathing space.
Gilly, 33:
I’m soft. I don’t know how to stand up for myself and men take this as a sign of weakness and I’m over it, so I have taken a break from being in a relationship to work on myself.
