18 Perpetually Single Guys Reveal Why They Refuse To Settle Down

1. “Timing honestly is a real factor. I don’t care what quote you read or movie line you hear, it actually matters. I once really liked this girl, but she already had plans to move away after college so I decided it wasn’t worth it because the timing wasn’t right.” –Blake, 22

2. “I haven’t met anyone who makes me think, wow I can finally see a future with her.” –Dillon, 33

4. “I have trust issues. I just don’t think I can settle down with just anyone, it’s easier to not get feelings involved and be honest up front that this isn’t going to go anywhere.” –Chris, 27

5. “I like my freedom way to much to settle down. I want to go out with my friends and get drunk. If I don’t make it home then I don’t make it home. I don’t want someone calling me asking where I am and what I’m doing. I’m not ready for that.” –Dom, 23

6. “I’m scared to get hurt.” –Brad, 25

7. “I’m honestly just not ready. I haven’t found someone who makes being in a relationship better than being single, so for now I’m just doing my own thing.” –Jimmy, 29

12. “There is a girl I’m really into right now that I would commit too, but she’s got too many of her own issues to work on before I’d commit to her. So right now I’m just slowly waiting, but that’s not to say someone else won’t come along.” –Keegan, 22

13. “A lot of girls don’t actually need you to commit. Sometimes she will threaten me with an ultimatum, but it doesn’t work because I know she wont leave. I don’t want the title, but I do like hanging out with her. I’m just not ready for a relationship.” –Justin, 29
