My best friend keeps sending dating info...

.... and taxes

And punctures.

Wouldn't it be better to have so many different relationships and so little time that you'd struggle with an interest?

Sounds a bit too much like hard work that.

my brother can't seem to understand why i prefer to be single. When he and his other half split, he was straight on the internet dating sites and kept pestering me to do the same. When i and my other half split up, i saw it as a welcome break... a break which I'm still relishing.

As the OP says, it would be nice to meet someone, but I'm in no rush.

Blimey, even having a partner is no guarantee they'll nurse you through illness, so don't go looking for one on that account.
Mine did, as it happens, but having cancer exposed me to lots of other lives including some who showed me that lots of relationships don't survive serious illness! Sad but true.

Back to the OP ... Tell your mates to beak-out! If you got a partner your mates might find they do not like your choice of partner any more than they like your single status!

Just ask @numbnuts!

If you're genuinely happy then keep doing as you are. It's fine.

I'm in a similar position. Into my thirties, my little brother is engaged; grandparents harassing me. The way my last relationship ended 4 1/2 years ago damaged me and the lone walk home was the highlight of the only date I've been on since. It would be nice to meet someone but I'm not looking, nobody's asking and I'm content.

This is becoming a single site for cyclists

Another one here...would like to be in a relationship but never actively bothers looking for one.

One thing we cyclists are guaranteed at some point though is a bonk

[QUOTE 3301434, member: 76"]We had another couple round for dinner a while ago, you know the one couple in your social circle that are rock solid and never going to split up? Anyway, while a bit pi55ed I did mention that when they split up we had already decided that she was our favourite and we would keep her as our friend and ditch him. About 6 weeks later they split up [/QUOTE]
Opps! So far they both will come to group things as long as there are plenty of others. Then when you are trying to that them equally you start getting questions such as "have I offended you!", they seem more prickly and sensitive at the moment. None of that hassle from the single friend.

Just ask @numbnuts!

And in the interests of balance ask his ex-partner too.

Her exact words “I don't want to be married to a cripple” me lying in hospital after an accident at work.

Don't pressured into getting a partner they are often more trouble than they are worth.

I was once living with a woman, one day whilst she was out at work I was decorating our lounge with a mate, I fell off a chair painting the ceiling and broke my arm. When she came home from work I said " I fell off the chair and broke my arm" she said "thats all I bloody need" Nice!

I was at a Stone Foundation gig last night and it was sooo much fun!!!

I don't care about what happens in the future. I love doing what I want to do and I've got good friends around me.

It's made me think I may be a bit more open to it but that's about it. I'm perfectly happy right now

A spur of the moment decision then.

Some might say your user name says it all! @luckyfox

Some of the loneliest people in the world are living with a partner.
