Every night when I crawl in to my big ol bed alone....Most of the time it is great...dont have to share the covers or pillows...I would say I miss sleeping with someone but I think it is more like forgetting what it is like.0

Wow, after reading all this, I am feeling a bit depressed.
I think for me it is realizing I have no one to lean on whether it be emotionally or physically. Most days I am fine but my three year old is not terribly interested in hearing about my bad days. lol He is great with the hugs and kisses though.
I talk to myself.all.the.time.
I tell myself about my bad days.. I swear, I'm not crazy but I have to get it out!
Get some plants! They are great listeners!0 -

I wasn't going to share this but I tell my cat. She is a great listener as long as I keep petting. Now that just sounds pathetic. lmao0 -
-The Holidays (worst ones to be alone on are New Year's Eve & Valentine's)
-Handling all the day to day household maintenance items. Cooking for one is ungratifying as is grocery shopping/meal planning for one.
-Having no one to take care of me when I'm sick0 -
When i need a nice back rub from doing P90X hard, and no one is there to give it.0

Any time one of my friends throws some type of get together I am always the one that is there alone. =/0

I totally agree that this thread is depressing. As if we don't all remind ourselves we're single every damn day anyway! :grumble:0 -
~I think a big one for me is planning vacations. Not that I need a man to have a good time, but it's just my daughter and I and it would be nice to have someone else there with us. I also love to go camping and not that I'm helpless by any means, but a woman with her daughter, camping in the woods alone, doesn't seem like the best idea! LOL!0

So much more difficult to plan vacations without a significant other. Great point!0 -
My friends are all in serious relationships- and when we go out to dinner as a group, or arrange something like a party, I am often the only one without a date. That's always awful.
Also when your friends constantly remind you of all the reasons why you are single- and it's never anything positive.0 -
Having someone to clean the snow off my car. It was always so nice when XH would do that. Luckily we haven't had much snow!0

When trying to put lotion on your own back.0

The thing that reminds me that I am single is going to stores and seeing little cute things that I could give to a girlfriend if I had one LOL. Sounds lame, but I would always get small things that were inexpensive but gave a big message.0

I was thinking of that today. I'm going to need to slather sunscreen on my back this weekend and was thinking of how to get good coverage on my back.0 -

This always does it for me. Or times when I'm invited somewhere and it's all couples... it gets to me then.0 -

You should get one of those long paint rollers .. put the sunscreen on it and rollll it over your back!0 -

That's not a bad idea. Hmmmm0 -
Whenever there is a dish that I can't reach. I'm short and I have to get a chair just to get stuff at the top of the pantry/ kitchen shelf :grumble: .
Whenever there is a man in my life and he's around, he can reach things without a problem.
And when my smoke alarm batteries start to go out. Fixing that on my own is an absolute pain and I am almost always unsuccessful.0 -
When you are sick and there is no one to take care of you.
This one. I want to be babied and there is no one to do it for me.
Also having to cook for 1 as I hate left overs.0 -
I had a dinner party for 7 on Saturday - 3 couples and me! Although my friends never make me feel uncomfortable, I just wish it could have been 8.
i prefer even numbers :laugh:0 -

Anytime I have to self-serve.0

Traveling alone reminds me of it all the time...
- Getting food or a bathroom break at the airport requires taking everything with you because there is no one to watch your stuff.
- Looking over pictures of your travels and not a single picture has a person in them. (I've traveled extensively over the past 18 months, and the only picture of me I have is from the Women's World Cup Final last year. Everything else is just inanimate objects or people I don't know)
- Eating out every night alone. And the weird look the hostess gives you when you tell her your alone.
- Went to an Ante Bellum manor last weekend with a few acres of formal gardens. Walking through the gardens and realizing I am the only person in the place that isn't a couple.
- Going out at night alone. Unless it's like a rock show, most other stuff gets boring alone.
- Finally coming home and wanting to see friends but never do because they are all grouped together doing couple nights with each other (only inviting the other couples)0 -
- Coming back from a gig just now, half-drunk, and nobody to be upset at me for doing that... :drinker: :bigsmile:
- Porn on the 50 inch plasma screen, without the fear that you might have to run for the power button at any instant :blushing: :bigsmile:0 -
When the power went out on Sunday night and I lit candles around the apartment. I actually missed wine first (I have a wine club order just waiting for Lent to finish). Then, yes, the companionship was missed.
I also miss having someone when I go to the beach, which I'll do this weekend. The sun, sand and surf seem to get me worked up (and maybe it is the oysters and bikinis).
I told you I could be there in 5 hours!

I miss kisses... and that simple sweet touch.... and nuzzling into that curve of his body-the perfect lil spoon...and kisses on the neck... and someone to talk to at night.... and the I love yous....
Im sad now.0 -
Cooking for way to many people when there's only me to eat it0

A happy one! So I couldn't sleep and instead of having to leave MY room to not bother anybody else I came to the bar by my place. It's SXSW all week so there will be live bands here every night. Having a beer and jamming out. :drinker:0
