.... .... ..... ....

In general conversation you're not single.

Well being "taken" sounds much more desirable than "single".

Im surprised he hasn't left you yet

wow... you define him as "boyfriend" and he claims to be that also, but you keep saying you are single

single means you are not seeing someone and are free to roam in and out of relationships because you do not have a current relationship (that is not just sex...)

If you keep saying single, he might end up leaving you or calling you a tramp for telling others that its free game

since you're single, lets fu-k!!

here, let me help you all by further elaborating:

The status is as such:
Single
Divorced
Engaged
Married
Widowed

Of the statuses listed, I am indeed single.

In a general conversation, as Takashi and BlackRoses stated, I am with a boyfriend or "taken"
But status-wise, I am single, as I am not engaged or married.

Thats fine just say you're taken than

EDIT: where are you trying to go with this?

In other words when someone asks you should reply with taken

That's NOT gonna happen


He's definitely not leaving me




I was trying to get others opinions because when I listed my status as "single" on websites/forums (Myspace, facebook, etc.) my bf freaks out.

My rationale is this: if it's that serious about me being "taken", then he should propose marriage




eye-rolling is not attractive




Gosh-- it's a simple enough question. I feel as if I'm being attacked here...

You're not being attacked we're just doing what you asked, "defining" what we think single is. Its obvious you think our opinions are wrong so an alternative was given.

and if you need to be married before you can acknowledge that you are taken I feel sorry for your "significant other" or whatever you call him since boyfriend might mean a boy thats just a friend to you.

That's a good thing then, wouldn't be able to put up with your Southern accent

And the answer is as far as conversation goes you're taken. On forms you can tick the single box.

Oh-- you're a guy? I just rationally assumed that you were PMSing and wanted to vent on the forum . Well, all is wonderful then & I am glad that you remember my "Southern accent" -hug

Your BF is too sensitive. Tell him to lighten up

Rationally? Apparently not.

"the word boyfriend is dorky" - then why the hell do you have one? why are you seeing this person exclusively?


"I was trying to get others opinions because when I listed my status as "single" on websites/forums (Myspace, facebook, etc.) my bf freaks out."

Those have the option of "in a relationship"...


I don't get what point you are making - as far as MARITAL status is concerned, you are Unmarried not single.
As far as how stupid you are for disrespecting your partner, you are Retarded.



You are in a relationship
You are attached
ANY WEBSITE with the options that are only to do with marriage would probably be dating sites... and you wouldn't be on those with a boyfriend... would you? or are you "single" on them all? LOL!


"If it's that serious about me being "taken", then he should propose marriage"
Propose to someone who you are not in a relationship with because they are "single".... what the hell
is this some ploy to get him to marry you?
Claim that you are nothing to each other until you are planning a wedding?

Don't those websites usually have the "in a relationship" option? You're single when filling out any legal documents, but for practical purposes you're taken or in a relationship. It sounds like you have subconscious doubts about him, otherwise you wouldn't be so adamant in calling yourself single when you're not.

please do the world (and me) a favor and stop paragraphing me to death.

Single means not being married or in a serious relationship. ^_^

But my views are misconstrued.

LOL im surprised your bf is still with you. must be whipped...

single...- the art of loneliness

yes, I don't see how you can claim being 'single' if you're in a relationship with someone. single is commonly understood to mean unmarried and unattached (not in a relationship).

if you were to list single on a dating site, people would automatically assume that you were not in a relationship and be confused / feel deceived to find out you have a bf.

I UNDERSTAND what you are saying, but I don't do dating sites. One site was specifically for my family business, and my bf got really upset. I did change it after we'd discussed the issue, but I just thought that he was really uptight, since our business caters to majority women. That's why I asked you all's opinion.

On other sites, I do post "in a relationship", but to most people even THAT means nothing because men are still very aggressive if they see someone that they want to get to know. Some people say that a boyfriend title doesn't stop them from trying to pursue someone that they think they'd really like.


@ Mid-Night_Sun: My boyfriend is a really good guy and we have gone through a lot together, so when we have misunderstandings, we try to work things out. When we get tired of each other or feel like it's not worth it, then we'll break up. But for now, it's good and what we have works!

Neither does being married

Obviously if you're without an SO, spouse, etc. your single.

i now see that we have a love/hate relationship: i love you, yet you hate me.

Your hate will soon turn to undying love and devotion

Never, not with that bloody southern accent.

Single = not in a relationship/marriage.

I think you're just seeking the attention you'd be getting if you were single.

Whatever-- I don't have an accent, buddy... and if I did, that's a lame excuse



Where'd you come from? Are you dating Takashi or something?
That was random, but I'll answer your thoughts:
no, I don't have to pretend to be single to get attention from guys. I actually get MORE than if I were single. It's called "aura of attraction"
We"ll discuss this some other day...
How old are you, btw?

I am also single, may the gods bless us with nasty dirty sexy parties.

Oh you do.
Not if every time you open your mouth you're going to piss me off.


How on Earth did you get that idea?

What's wrong with just saying that you're in a relationship? If you're ina serious relationship, you don't have to be married to not be single. At the point you are doing more than dating or doing more than checking out your options, it's misleading to say that you are single because you are not. You are unmarried, but not single. Unless you are filling out technical forms, you are not single.

Honestly I think anyone with a brain between their ears would be suspicious of that or at least irritated. I'm wondering if this is a serious question or if you're joking. If you're boyfriend didn't say anything about it at all I'd have said he's either a complete pushover, a complete retard, or both.

Ummm, yeah, single means not being involved with anyone. Listen to the views of the people here, you might learn something! So are you still single?

Ooooooooh. Pinned down.

I've been posting on this forum for about a year and half. Am I dating Takashi? You're absolutely as stupid as you sound.

How was it random if I answered YOUR question?

And how do you know you get more attention than when your single, if you claim to be single in the first place?

What the hell does my age have anything to do with your post?

nah, he's not a pushover. if we have issues-- we discuss them
The question was asked in a more light-hearted/entertainment manner than not.


Don't tell me what single means, Timone. If it was such a puzzle for me, I would have seriously relied on a dictionary AND we would NOT be a couple. I can relate to their views, but I don't blindly listen to others because people will say stuff that they themselves do not fully comprehend or understand--as they are followers. You know me 13




This post says it all... You're an inexperienced idiot, trying to portray yourself as a know-it-all b!tch.
Let me break it down for you since you fail to do that yourself: This forum is a place for me to have fun and kid around a bit. I see that it is a life line for you. Thank you for your advice, and my advice to you is to logoff and get a life and some experience-- don't believe everything you have been told (85%).

I give you a few years and you'll be making threads similar to Sisi's.

Send it in.

What the hell does anything you said have to do with the post? I would love to go into all the BS you just said right now, but that has nothing to do with your topic.

Hey, you're the one who posted the question. Stick to YOUR topic. If you can't handle the fact that people thing you're an idiot for posting such an idiotic, senseless thought, that's on you. Don't get catty with people who think differently from you.

The stupidity in this thread is astounding.

You come into the thread swearing like a sailor and calling names, but I'm catty? OK, like I said, send it in...




Okay, so I'll be stupid for this thread. I'll be that!
Now, let's talk about you, Takashi. What woman broke your heart and stomped on your roses, so now your just the angry british insurgent? You have lots of repressed anger for women & thank gawd you found Asia's Finest--right? Let's discuss it over a spot of tea

Were you not already?
I've been on AF longer than I've been single.
Not that keen on tea. I'll have some crumpets though.

Edit: Am I missing something, where's the sailor-like swearing?

I am stunned to admit it, but I agree with the guys. And I am single - by all definitions, unless you want to refer to a divorce 14 years ago - which I don't see as relevant in my life today.

While your legal status is single, in conversation and other non-legal situations you are seriously misleading men by answering "single". You are in that vague, but very real position of not really single and approaching another status.

While on legal docs you must say single, in conversation it would be more accurate to say that you are in a relationship, commited, taken, however else you care to phrase it. Just be fair to your partner and those who are asking by being accurate.

I don't blame him at all, because when you say single you are negating his involvemnt in your life.

well if everything's good then....what is the issue here......i get why your bf would be pissed, but only if you both use FB a lot and have a lot of mutual friends.


LOL bet already broke up by now.....

he thinks its disrespectful because you are announcing your availability

the way most guys seem to see it: if you're unmarried, you're single.

i used to work at this place where i made it patently obvious that i'm engaged. nevertheless, nobody took it seriously.
i think this one guy even went into denial about it because i coulda sworn i mentioned that i had a fiance several times but it just didn't seem to register. did they think i was lying to them?

most * guys don't have the same concept of commitment as girls do

delete

* = all
