Everyone craves a little companionship once in awhile. Being single too long can have some ill effects and not just on your libido. Flying solo for too long can make one lose their game and go into a social tailspin. Here are some signs you have when you have been single for too long.

- You forgot what dating is like:
When you start thinking that dating is like it is in the movies or TV then you know it's time to get out and spread your wings. Another example would be living your dating life through someone else. For instance, you have a friend that is dating someone and you just can't wait for that friend to tell you all the details of their relationship. Go out and form your own adventures instead of listening to others about theirs.

- You're desperate:
When you start looking into a mail order bride or you own a blow up doll it might be time to start looking at your personal life. There are plenty of options in the real world so you should never have to resort to this.

- You forgot what etiquette is:
It starts with your appearance. You no longer care what you wear or how you appear to others. Then next goes all your manners. If you turn into a total pig then it might be time for you to start looking for someone to help motivate you to clean yourself up.

- An addiction to Porn:
You might need to get out more if your primary entertainment is porn. There is cause for concern if new releases are cause for celebration. Porn can be a poison that affects your life just like any other addiction.

- People start thinking that you are gay:
Since you are not seen with women and because you show no interest in women either a common perception might come up that your gay. You really can't blame them for jumping to conclusions since you have not really ever shown any interest in women. Just think of it as motivation for finding a woman.

- No perception of reality:
You cannot read women at all. You think every brush with women means that they want you. For instance, any kind of eye contact, smile, or any innocent encounter you have with a woman leaves you thinking that they want you. You have been out of the game so long you have perception of what a woman is signaling to you.

- You have an awkwardness around women:
You don't know what to do or say when you're in the presence of a woman. You might stare too much at a women trying to get her attention or do something stupid to try to get their attention.

- You find faults in all women:
One symptom of being single too long is being extremely picky. You find faults in all women so you have an excuse or cop out not to seek a relationship with them. You might have even convinced yourself that you are some kind of super catch and you need to be picky.

So if any of these symptoms apply to you it's time to get some help. You've been alone too long and it's taking its toll on your physical and mental state.
