  • They say you find it when you're not looking. It's hard to be alone. I hope you find it soon.

    I hear ya. I have a married friend who always says how envious of me being single....but it ain't so great (except I can sleep in the middle of the bed....when my dog lets me!). Being single sucks in many respects....

    Being single ain't so bad.........................but then, I went through a rather horrendous marriage for a LONG time, and being single has given me new life!

    We're all on different paths, aren't we?

    Does your dog ever let you? Mine doesn't. She's only 22lbs yet takes up 75% of the bed. More in the summer when she doesn't want to be curled up close and pushes me to the edge.

    I may be the only person to ever say this but being single does not suck, I have been single for almost 5 years and I have yet to find 1 respect where being single sucks...

    I can make plans with out saying "let me check and see what the boyfriend is doing."
    I can have the entire bed to myself
    I never have to put my clothes away - I actually never put clothes away, I just take them out of the clothes hamper and wear them.
    I never have to worry that someone is going to get butt hurt if I decide to hang out with my guy friends - go for beers, or work on cars or anything like that.
    I always get to pick my own music and listen to it as loud as I want...

    the list of not suckage is way bigger than the list of suckage imho.


    The only thing that sucks about being single is actually going out on dates - I am super awkward when I first meet someone.

    Lol, no....and she's only 12 pounds! But she has to sleep right up next to me. I often wake up afraid I'm going to push her off the bed because she likes to sleep on the outside. To be honest I don't mind sharing with the dog....I never really got the hang of sleeping well with another person though! But I'd like a guy to do stuff with....online dating makes me depressed! (I'm not knocking it; have friends who have found their significant others there, but I'm not sure it's for me).

    You do make good points! That's true. I guess I'm a romantic at heart though....

    I'm at least lucky in that mine sleeps on the inside so I wake up when afraid I am falling off the bed (and occasionally do)

  • Met my guy on POF. That was a little over three years ago, so the culture there may be a little different now. I used their match suggestion and it worked out great. We got engaged this past Christmas. I actually dated a couple of other people from that site and I felt like they were quality people, just not the right fit for me. Who knows, might work for you too....=)

    After 33 years of marriage and still going strong, I highly recommend it. We're all on our own paths in life and we need to do what makes us happy. Being married makes me happy. I can't really imagine what my life would be like without my wife and kids and grand kids. I also know some lifelong singles that are very happy in their circumstances as well. I think happiness can be found in either direction but if you want to have a life partner in life, don't be afraid to look for them. I do think as we get older, it is more difficult as we may have too much to risk. I was 19 when I got married, didn't have a dime to my name, a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out...things are much different now but it took time. Being young and dumb has its advantages.

    At least you two have been out on a date... I can't even find one. Then again, I haven't tried.

    I learned from my brother's and friends mistakes. The best relationship is one with yourself.

    nooooo don't be so cynical.. yh there are some really crap times.. like really... honestly.....seriously lol... but doesn't erase the good times...
  • Being single is so much fun! Other than missing the physical part of course :-) No rules, period. I love my single life. I don't like answering to other people, very independant. On the flip side, I would also like a relationship .... but .... I will not settle for anything less than ideal for me at this point in my life. I love being single too much to lose that for a mediocre relationship just to be with someone. But like another poster experienced, I went through a tough break up about 3 yrs ago so maybe my head is in a different place than someone elses.

    2 points for assumptions

    I cancel all my dates. There's no way Im going out to be judged on my looks and laugh and whatever intelligence I decide its ok to reveal, and then discarded as soon as I tell them Im not putting out on the first date. EFF THAT.

    The only thing worse is when you go out and YOU have to do the rejecting.

    When you sit on your bed painting your toenails and try so hard to fight against the monsters in your head, the self-hating, youre not good enough, no one wants to walk next to you in public, youre not at goal weight anyway- demon... and you finally get out of the house and show up and you cant breathe and the guy is wearing a mustard stained tshirt from 1992 and he asks if you like to titty-f**k before he even asks if you found the place ok....

    alright rant over

    staying single.

    I love how a person looks but my big thing is what kind of soul do you have or in my ex s case do you actually have a soul? If your ugly on the inside you will be ugly on the outside!

    I worry about their soul if Im going to be their friend. But if they aren't sexy to me... then all we will ever be is friends.

    Because that attraction factor is the difference between BFFs and FWBs.
