    After two years, it's hard to think of a good thing. :P

    I don't hate being single, but I am getting a bit tired of it. On the plus side -- I was the only one with a vote when it came to naming my daughter (or for that matter, deciding it was time to have a child in the first place), my side of the bed comes out of the middle, I can keep the A/C at whatever temp I want, I pick all the movies, I cook what I want to eat...
    Yeah, I'd like to meet someone, but when I do, it's going to be a massive adjustment on my part. I've been completely self-sufficient for a very long time.

    Pro: I get the chose the movie all by myself!

    Con: Going to the movie all by myself! LOL

    I honest to god love going to movies by myself. I went to my first movie solo at 13.

    I sound like such a loner - I'm really not.

    I can't prove it...but I suspect some folks are making excuses for "the Suck."

    Course, i'm biased. A LOT. I'm terrible single. I'm wired to connect with a woman. Just. Feels. Better.

    I'd really really love to have a lover to battle for the covers. I'd really enjoy reminding her to put the toilet seat back up when she's done. I'd cherrish her morning breath because it means she's there in bed, nuzzled into me. Okay, I wouldn't really cherrish the breath...but I'd understanding having to even SMELL the dragon-breath means she's there...very close to me. I'd be giddy over arguing about bills because in the middle of the argument, when we're most stirred up, there'd be a chance we'd stop talking and start making out. I can't wait for the day a lover causes me to change plans, just because I want to hang out with her more than anything. The thought of calling in sick to work, because she will not let me out of bed? Fantasy of mine.

    Ummmm....you're precious :) Can every man have this philosophy please? :heart:

    I've only been single for two weeks...

    But so far I can tell you it's nice not to have to make sure to call him on weekdays since I only saw him on the weekends. And he isn't ruining my eating plans for two days of every week. I can just eat what I want and not consider what he wants.

    I still miss him, though. =(

    Going on a month myself. I know how you feel. Hang in there.

    Going on a year come Sept 6th and the divorce broke my heart. Still working on getting it together and "enjoying it". I do like watching whatever I want to watch on t.v. although I only have two channels, sitting out on the porch on my laptop or Kindle for however long I like, taking a nap when I like. However, I think I was just "designed" to be with someone I love so hope to grow old with the love of my life one day.

    Happily married. BUT I'll admit theres a few things I miss from time to time.

    -Not being accountable to anyone else for what I choose to do
    -Spending my money the way I want to
    -Doing what I want, when I want

    But I wouldn't trade my wife for that.

    I looooove being single! No one to ask before I make plans, no one to check in with, I can do whatever I want whenever I want, and I can makeout with anyone whenever the hell I feel like it. It's awesome.

    The main things I miss about having a boyfriend are having someone to kill the spiders and silverfish that invade my apartment, having someone to go grocery shopping with and help me carry all that crap up the stairs, and having someone to take the garbage and recycling out. I also miss the nightly back rubs my ex used to give me. That's all I can really think of though.

    Although being in a relationship does have its perks, like the constant reassurance of having someone there and what not, BEING SINGLE IS AWESOME. you do what you want, when you want, how you want. and if you're lucky to have a consistent booty call, there wont be any cobwebs in ya panties and you don't worry about them. HA! =)

    When I was single I could make impulsive purchases and decisions....I could also sleep in the middle of the bed without someone's elbow in my ear. These are the things I miss the most!!

    ^^This^^

    I am sure a supportive partner is great, but for me, I enjoy the ability to do what I want, when I want. I don't have to work around any schedule, except my son's and my own.

    For the longest time I hated being single, Until I took a trip by my onesies to Costa Rica (surf camp!) Then I LOVED being single. I'd go out for dinner and get whatever I want. I can do whatever I want without checking in with someone to let them know I'd be home late, etc. It's a wonderful time to be selfish.

    But now I am in a brand spanking new relationship. A long distance once, so I still get that wonderful single feeling of being on my own schedule. It's so sweet, I tell ya.

    The freedom of being single is nice but I've been single long enough. Time to get in shape so I can get noticed again.

    Shaving my legs infrequently.

    I must say, I miss not having to shave. :)

    Being single was fun...but I must admit I missed sharing that fun with others.
