Important reasons on why you may still be single

Do you single people still wonder why you cannot find a mate? Have you exhausted all means of searching for that other person who can share your space with you? Do you feel you will always be alone?
 
I know why. What follows are the reasons you are probably single. These have been researched and studied but I am publishing them anyway, as they are explained.
 
Your must list is too long
Your dream person has too many requirements. No man or woman could meet the qualifications you insist upon. For men, for instance, it is near impossible to demand a woman wear Victoria's Secret underwear all the time - on the outside of her jeans. For women: no man can be a non-smoker, non-drinker, non-gambler and still be able to pass a driving test. Also, forget about thin people, most singles are obese.
 
You are still brooding over your last relationship
It is time to let go of him or her, even if Somali pirates are now in charge of their daily schedules. Let go of all the bad things these partners did to you and for goodness sake get rid of their Voodoo dolls. If former mates are still in your dreams, sleep less and remember that one day they too will die.
 
You are too quick to share
Are you offering a possible mate everything too early? Do you say, "Here, take my car?" and "I have no problem giving you the password to my on-line bank accounts?" or "You are from Nigeria and you are the son of a dead prince who only needs a thousand dollars to get us twenty thousand?" Wait before you offer anyone a lot of what you own. If we meet, however, ignore this tip.
 
You are a clinger
Why do you clench and grasp at every person who dates you? When you do this your insecurity shows - and girls, every man wants you to be strong like his mother, not like Wonder Woman because no man wants a lesbian for a mate unless he can get a pair of them. Men, don't show a woman you need her so much. One good way is to toss your cat out the window when you bring a date home for the first time.
 
You enjoy drama
If you date an actor, don't bring prepared lines to every date. Actors like to improvise to sharpen their skills. That may be why the actor accepted a date with you in the first place, just to improvise. So don't look for drama in a relationship; in fact, push for comedy. You may even hide a banana peel in your pocket and drop it when he or she is not looking and laugh your head off when your date goes flying through the air and hits the ground like a steel hammer.
 
Take some of these tips to heart and you may find your perfect mate.
