    I find it hard to date someone. They are usually threatened by the fact I have lived alone and been single for over two years. And, I am threatened by their wanting to help me or if they seem too dependent. I pay all my bills, change all my light bulbs, and etc I am responsible for me and me alone LOL. That is enough :) I find when I do have company for the night... I toss and turn because I know I have someone in my king bed. Not because I am excited, because I am so used to it just being my bed.

    SAME! I equally love and hate slumber parties. I also have a hard time trying to figure out how someone fits into my niche or my routines living alone.

    I also HATE staying at the guy's house, especially if he has roommates. I am just over that stage in life and have been for 3 years.

    I'll have to get back to you on the disadvantages. I can't think of any.

    The only down side I've found thus far is having to do it ALL all the time. That means I don't have time for everything. Social time is most important, so if I had to mow I might not get the vacuuming done... If I have to clean the entire house, I might not get to rearranging the "containers" cabinet. If I paint scrape and paint the outside of my house (like I am right now), I am not getting the floors mopped and the clothes put away every day...

    But, the UPside to even all of that - I'm the only one who lives there so there is NO ONE to criticize me that I didn't get it all done.

    I've lived alone for so long now I'm unsure I could live with someone else. I have a man that I've been with for about 10 years and we are on-again off-again, but mostly friends... I'm good with that for now.

    I like not having to ask someone if it's okay that I go buy the new Kindle... (but I'm the only one who has to pay too!)

    Pros and cons. (always greener)
