Does being single means........available?

lol I know how you feel. I have been single now for 2 years after coming from a bad relationship that I was in for 8. I would eventually like to settle down with someone but it is horrible when people just assume because you don't have a boyfreind that they fit the bill to fill it lol.

Nice that you have been able to identify those wolves in the sheep clothing. Always keep a watch on those guys.Give them polite reply once or twice, even then if they continue to haunt you, then severe links with them,avoid them.

Hi nice to see someone from india especially from aamchi mumbai.Nice discussion sp i'll try to be honest.See this is the problem with some men or lets say most men..that when they see a single woman or even an engaged one they'd wanna try their luck.You being single makes it all the more appealing.Now the fact that you have just seperated makes you the near perfect kind of person to starting to flirt with..I am sorry to say but many of them would be thinking already about their chances with you in BED,especially noticing that you stay alone.You seem mature enough to realise that aren't you.Also some guys dont seem to understand the relationship entirely,,sometimes you may be interested in helthy friendship and the moment you start loosening up and having fun they seem to take it as a signal to YOU KNOW WHAT!! So do hell with those types.You are independent,single working...so go out and have some fun dear!!MEN will be MEN.

Our society and its standards and norms are so odd in relation to the individual freedom concept so that such kind of occurrences affect an individual woman! The fact some time disturbs because those who really believe in freedom and have deep understanding about the human relationship are very rare in our Indian society: Even in progressive societies have such issues related with freedom oriented women! I think by saying this clearly and repeatedly you will be able to get the ratio down and even drop down at zero level too! New age (or say this century and onward) has some thing really positive for such thing!

in this age of life single has some times importance over the married persons when they are at the job. And girls give first prefrence to the single man or woman. But when they have to go to rent a houme or house then they are not preffered at this stage.

Err, I don't know why they can't leave you alone, there must be something wrong with them. lol Seriously, now, we're talking about guys here. When do we ever understand them? The more you display disinterest in them, the more they chase you. And they find it very hard to be monogamous. (No offense to good guys out there!) I'd say just make it clear from the very beginning that you're not seeking, that you're single but you're not ready to mingle...yet. Who knows, your Prince may just be 'round the corner. :)

Sorry to say, it's the name of the game. Men will be men, the hunters, the lookers, the conquors. They go after women, and they always will. So, just let them know up front what your intensions are. If they respect you, they will back off. If not, don't bother with them. Being single is great, if you are happy that way.

When a female is single and good looking, many men will try to apply to get her. It is a mans mentality to give security to the single female. It is up to the female to reject or accept. Once she reject, man will stop his attempts.

well i think that in some cases single means "available". lol.. actually i think that it depends upon person to person and his/her extent of desperation. lol...

Lovely, it is really sickening to read the attitude of males ....as you have mentioned. Such is the mentality of sick and perverted minded people...that they think....that everybody can be flirted and in your words everyone (girl/female) is free to date with them. Really it is very disgusting on their part. I agree that you should be allowed your complete freedom and independence.... best course of action would be simply to say big "NO" to them...and if that cannot be done...just igone them completely. (I think that No body has got any right to intrude into your privacy or your personal life) Have a Nice Day! deepak

im sorry to say like that,but its real.i found that indian social community environment is very unhealthy that men always being like a hero or rameo to ladies and they absolutely didnt understand whats the meaning of "respect".they always thought they have power and charming enough to conquer and enslave ladies and that is what happiness should be but absolutely they are not.i think you should teach them some manners to treat ladies.

I think "available" is a very suitable description for single persons. It means that you can go out with anyone you like and you can accept anyone. You are free. You don't have to be guilty because you are still single.

NO , If somebody thinks like that. Than he doesnot understand woman. U r decision is always matter, whatever be the reason. U can always enjoy a healthy life alone.

Guys will be guys thats all. Its there duty to sniff aroung and test out what they beleive is the next available women to be conguered. Have you ever seen the dogs? Which gender initiate the smelling of one another? The male of course. They are just being themselves I guess. Ignore them and continue to enjoy your freedom girl.

there are some cruel people they think in this way. you are married, single or separated, they feel the same way. I think these people should be heavily punished for their wrong doings and its good you have identified them.

No, being single doesnt mean your availble...its a matter of choice. I am happy being single and dont plan to have any relationship in the near future...going to enjoy every single minute of my life :)

I think being single can mean what you want it to mean. The two don't necessarily go hand in hand. I have many friends who are single and they also are enjoying their freedom and enjoying being single and they have no interest in anything more than just dating occassionally. So, for them I would say that single does not mean available.

I don't think so that when you are single you are very much vavailable. because I have this experienced in my life, when I was still single I was so workaholic that having a romantic relationship was too far from my life. Whgen i became a manager of a fast food chain at the age of 20, i keep on seeking for promotion. Until I reached 27, that was the only time, I got this liking of entering into relationship and eventually settled down.

ha ha.. because you are a girl. Most of the men think that if you are single or divorced means you are available for dating. If you do not like thin you stop flirting with them then tell them directly that you want to be single. i think after that they will stop. :)

you can just tell them directly, you enjoy your freedom,plese keep you alone.
