Danyelle Noble, a 33-year-old dancer from Florida, has spoken openly about why she remains single and why she plans to stay celibate until she meets a partner who meets all of her expectations. She says she used to feel embarrassed to tell people she had never been sexually active, but with time she learned there is nothing wrong with waiting for the right person.

Noble explains that many men respect her honesty and the fact that she knows what she wants. She is direct from the first date and will walk away if someone is uncomfortable with her choice. Past experiences, including her parents’ divorce, made her careful about committing to the wrong person. She says she wants a relationship but refuses to rush into something that will not last.

To feel ready to share that level of intimacy, Noble says a partner must meet a long list of qualities. She values kindness, stability, respect, and a genuine personality. She also hopes for someone who enjoys travel, the outdoors, and an active lifestyle. She wants a partner who has never been married, shares her interests, and is family-oriented. For her, these traits form the foundation of the life she hopes to build.

Noble admits she sometimes wonders if she is better off on her own since she is financially independent and comfortable with her life. She has even considered dating shows in hopes of expanding her chances. Still, she believes the right man exists, even if he may be in another country. She says she will continue living fully and trusts she will recognize the right person when he appears.
