    I have the problem that I am quite happy in my own company, I live with my sister and her fella and honestly its enough to put me off a relationship for a while

    It's putting you off relationships or threesomes?

    I know guys on it that say they are looking for a relationship because they'll reel the vulnerable girls in, do their 'business' and get out. Sick really!

    Well if the girl was naive enough to sleep with a guy straight away then what's to be expected? Plus its not like she would have been forced into it. She would have wanted it too.

    It's good to have high standards, but almost no one will tick off all the boxes. Decent, kind, and funny goes a long way.

    I agree but of course I need some attraction to the person too, maybe that would come out in having a good sense of humour or something

    I'm in pretty much the same boat as you. Just not too pushed any more. I'm well used to being single and not relying on someone or having to worry about anyone but yourself is kinda great.

    Tried online dating as well and it is just a disaster zone. Either headcases, people just looking for attention or women with ridiculously lofty standards.

    That's it in a nutshell. I have found that if you have a good few hobbies and interests then being single isn't that big of a deal after a while.

    Online dating is awful absolutely awful. I always feel uncomfortable on those site. Its hard to find someone to hold a decent conversation even worse if you message someone and they don't message back it gets disheartening very quick.

    Some people have sex on a first date and still want a relationship, not me but there are some and if there is someone leading a person on just for the sex, then I think that is wrong

    Right or wrong, men will take it if it's put on a plate, but women who put out on the first one or two dates are then always treated as a bit sus afterwards.

    Anyone ever get a bit peed off with being single? Maybe I'm just bored but when it seems impossible to meet someone nice or someone that wants more than an easy ride over three years, it does kind of get to you a little.

    I have tried dating sites and I'm not saying all guys are the same, but the guys I met were just looking for the one thing. I socialize and put myself out there but in vain it seems. I have lovely friends and family so I'm grateful for that. Before you say anything, I am focusing on myself, trying to keep myself busy but can't help feeling a bit lonely sometimes. Anyone in the same boat?

    Aw! I really don't see the point in "trying" to be a relationship. They just happen.

    I was always very happy single. Anytime I was "seeing" fellas I hated it. Much preferred being alone for a while. I did have a boyfriend in my late teens/early twenties, which was grand while it lasted.

    Now I have a boyfriend who I'm living with and I'm happy out. It's all about being happy with yourself really, if that makes sense? I sound like a cheesy self-help relationship book now..

    Not always. I have plenty of male friends who wouldn't be into sex on a first date. They're not all in it for the ride.

    I do miss aspects of a relationship definitely, then I appreciate the attractions of being single simultaneously. Such a catch-22!
    The sex thing... Yeh you can go out and get sex with a randomer when you've got a real itch to scratch, but no way is it the same!

    Deise08, I know two women who met their husbands via Macra. Give it another go!

    But why should she expect he was only in it for a shag if she has sex with him immediately?

    I don't know that it's a better question really. I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation by her that a guy would see her again after having sex with her. It's kinda a grim assessment of guys to view them as likely to scoot once sex is had.
