Five Reason You Are Single While Your Mates Are Making Babies(happily Married by agarawu23(op): 12:28pm On Oct 07, 2014
Have you reached a point where it really
stings when someone asks, 'How come you're
still single?' or 'How someone like you is still
not married?'
If you've reached a point where being with
someone matters more than being the hottest
person in the room, then it's time you find
out the root cause of your singledom.

1. Unreal expectations: If you think your
prince charming is going to come riding on a
white horse and sweep you off your feet, then
you need a rethink! Whether you're past
marriageable age or not, having unreal
expectations will only bring disappointment. A
man who looks like Ramsey Noauh and has
the same IQ as Einstein's happens only in the
movies.

2. You cannot compromise: If you've been in a
few relationships but for some reasons it
didn't work out, it could be because you have
difficulty in compromising (or you're gay -
kidding). You have to make little sacrifices in
order to keep your partner happy. It could be
anything from cutting down on smoking,
learning to cook, or cutting down on
socialising with the opposite sex, etc.

3. You have commitment/ ex issues: You
cannot commit, period. It could be 'cos
you're way too independent and you like
space' or because 'you've seen too many
marriages fall apart' or 'you're still not over
ex.' Whatever the reason, you need to get
over it. Unless you resolve your commitment
issues you'll find a hard time finding a long
term relationship.

4. You are a workaholic: One of the other
reasons you're still single is because you're
addicted to work. Make it, married to work.
You work 12 hours a day and even on
weekends you're glued to your iPhone and
laptop. Wake up and smell the coffee. You
won't even get laid with this attitude, let alone
finding a life partner. You need to start
making room for social life - and no, not
online - in real life.

5. You have bad habits: May be you drink too
much, or you have a tendency to swear a lot.
Even having too much of an attitude or pride
is a vice and same goes with being stingy. See
which habit of yours is a turn off. Check with
your close friends or family members to get
an honest answer.

I get you but there are many families with children and nothing to write home about them. i see people make that mistake every time. very poor source of income and they jump into marriage because their friends are getting married. Three years later same source of income or salary and two extra mouth(kids) to feed. Its not a pretty sight please.
