Why Being Single During Certain Times of Year Can Feel More Difficult
Feeling single during specific times of year can amplify loneliness due to societal expectations and personal reflections. Understanding your zodiac influences and seasonal patterns can help manage these emotions and encourage self-growth during these periods.

Only time you truly ever have to develop yourself is when you are single.
I've been single for years, too many to count. I've had plenty of time to develop myself

Because I love the holidays and I never get to spend it with someone special. Would be nice!

Lol... I am picky! And shy and I may have cut one person off too soon. I'll admit I'm part of this problem! But I mean im looking for one special guy. Not a fling. I have every right to be selective ?

I know, this will sound cold but I'm just being me....I have never thought we were all supposed to be married, have kids or live the so called acceptable life. Some of us, probably a lot of virgos (wink wink) are meant to journey through life alone. Alone but not lonely. I have had relationships but truth, it's too much damn work. I like being with me.
Yep, holidays are tough, no doubt. But I'm sure your family would love to have you around. My family begs me to come home. Sometimes I do and other times, I want a more contemplative holiday season.
Embrace your journey!
Agreed! Relationships are too much work! It is easier for me to be single. But I do want to find someone that makes me feel like they are the easiest thing ever. I can hope for that!! And yes, I'm always with my family for the holidays. That does make me happy ?

Oh pfft, I don't have high standards. I get along with most women, but I'm not sure why to be honest. My mom told me that when I was born, I was surrounded by all women (true story).
Maybe my Venus sextile Mars and Venus sextile Jupiter aspect explains this. But my point is, the OP should just be a little more open and flexible.

Ok I'll answer
No to introvert, anti-social, low self esteem, and bad vibes
3. I have great social skills when I don't feel pressured by a stranger lol if I like a guy I've met out, then I'm shy. But I don't go to the right places to be decent guys so I should join more clubs.
5 and 8. I've dated a lot, but if I don't like a guy, I don't like him. There are reasons.
9 and 10 yes
I also hang out with a lot of gay guys.. this doesn't help me attract available men lol.

Wait...so you consider yourself an extrovert? o.O
Anyways, if a guy is interested in you and asks you out, then give it a shot. Your situation won't change unless you yourself make it.

I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle!! I have dated a lot of men. I do try ya know. I meet guys from dating sites though. No luck there!! Dr. Laura says I need to go to finer places to meet finer men.

Get a cat
Oh I so totally want one, but between my parents and my brother, there's too many animals. And I feel guilty leaving them every time I do see them and say goodbye. Imagine how I'd feel about my own!
But it is an option. Maybe someone will surprise me with that as a Christmas gift!! Doubt it lol aww 😢
I added a few photos of myself with a few pets 🙂
Why? Go ahead, I'd like to hear your logic (or lack therof) as to why.

Being in a relationship during the holidays is so overrated. Honestly I'm to the point where I'd just like to go on a cruise for the holidays now and not have to deal with all of the hassle of the all. Cooking. Whose house your going to. Oh and if you're with someone u gotta figure out how you're going to spend time with your family and their family. Such a headache. Presents. Ugh. I have a big family too. There are about 15 ppl in my immediate family. I'm so over it.
That's completely understandable. It's your personal preference. Mine is just the opposite :-)

You're attractive. A guy is gonna come into your life eventually. I guess you have to be a bit more patient.Not with all those cats.

Lol none live with me. I am getting a hibiscus ? plant though. That will be my baby ?

- Don't have to have a perfect body? Check.- Don't have to look perfect every time he/she see's you? Check.
- Don't have to deal with emotional crap and jealousy? Check.
- Don't have to hear complaints about not opening up? Check.
- Don't have to explain OCD habits? Check.
- Don't have to wake up one day and second guess who you're dating? Check.
- Don't have to put a smiley face on when you feel like crap? Check.
It's a wonderful time to be single!
Couldn't have said it better!!

I mean, that's just to show up, eat, smack you on the booty (to look like you have a legit dude) and leave. Hugging the mom is an extra $ 5.
