Actually…
Today, I’ve been single for 6 and a half years. It was fun for a while, but now it’s just sad. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I’ve been divorced for six years. Dating is in the toilet, and so far my options are short, emotionally unavailable, or married. At this point, I’d like a refund. FML
Today, I calculated how long it’s been since I had a partner. Works out to 7 years officially and 11 years unofficially. However, if you count the fact that my deadbeat ex wasn’t ever really present in the marriage, then I’ve been single all my life. FML
Today, I'm a 46 year-old woman who hates online dating, and who is now single again. FML
Today, I saw on Facebook that my ex of 6 years got married a few days ago. We broke up a year and a half ago because we had different plans; I wanted marriage and kids, and he wanted to “enjoy life and have fun.” Guess I’m not good enough to “enjoy life and have fun” with. FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend got married to a man she met last year. She left me after 8 years together because I told her I wanted to have fun and live my life, and wasn’t ready for marriage. Three years later, I’m not having fun at all. None of my bros wanna make plans because they’d rather be with their wives and kids. FML
Today, I’ve been single for so long that my mom’s friends ask her if I’m a lesbian, all because I’m 35 and not married yet. Truth is, my last relationship fucked me up so bad that the thought of falling in love with someone again makes me physically ill. FML
Today, it's now exactly one year until I turn 30 and I’ve never been with a woman before. I know that it’s over for me. FML
Today, a guy I had developed feelings for broke things off with me, giving me a version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. This was the first person I had liked/wanted to date in almost 8 years. I think I’m destined to be alone. FML
Today, I've been single for a couple of months. The last time I was single, Tinder and dating apps didn't exist. After figuring out how to be successful with those and setting up several dates, I've already had 3 date cancellations for this week because of the coronavirus. It's going to be a long couple of months. FML
Today, I was finally alone for the first time in a year. I thought I'd go to a restaurant, but ended up getting there before they opened. While waiting, I listened to music, only to end up crying for several minutes because I haven't had a girlfriend since 2010, and never will again. FML

I've been single for 2 years now. I love living alone so much that if I would meet someone, I'm not sure I could ever live with them. Be glad that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want!

Do not feel sorry for yourself for having standards and a specific partner type in mind. I have been single for almost 13 years since my divorce in 2008. They first 7-8 years were kind of hard seeing everyone else but have come to realize I am happier and healthier single and just waiting for the "one" to pop into my life.

Download Tinder. My understanding is that in NYC anyone can get laid every night. It's just a function of how long you stay in the bar, and how low you lower your standards.

if you weren't able to what you want when you want you were in the wrong type of relationship. I've been married for 5+years yeah nothing for some relationships out there and my wife and I were in longer relationships prior to meeting each other. we both respects each other commitments to each other and respect each other individualities and Hobbies and both make sure we are both free of any restrictions of bounds made in our marriage we have children and we both manage to make time for each other and give each other time. if she wants to go boom go ahead just know what you're leaving at home and coming back to same goes for me. now as far as being single. there is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. don't let societal standards dictate your happiness. being single gives you a whole different sense of freedom than being in relationships where obligations dictate what you do. just find the right one that can love you for you and remember that you have a life full of love prior to them and that you know the same of them and if you step into a relationship make sure that you can both equally feel the same freedom of being single as you both do now. otherwise you're stuck in a relationship of what some describe not being able to do as you want. if you like being single and being promiscuous then stay single but if you found someone you can be yourself with then be happy together

I've been single since 2005. I've been on dates. Haven't met anyone where we both want it to be more. It's only sad if you let others define where your life should be. I'm about the same age as my grandmother was when she got married. I'm 8 years younger, at 40, than she was when she gave birth to my mom. Being a couple or being single should only be an aspect of one's life never the defining of it.
