    It's better to be single than be in a bad relationship.

    Much better.

    I love the bf but I miss my "secret single behavior" (as I heard it called on a Sex and the City episode). You know the things you do when you live by yourself as opposed when you go someone else around. But still happy. There are things I miss about being single, but when I'm single there are things I miss about being with someone.

    So true. And I keep forgetting that. I need to make a poster of that and hang it up in my room.

    I prefer to be with a special someone. I love sharing experiences, learning about each other and caring for one another. However, I much rather be single than wasting my time. So you have to be worth it for me to give you all my affection.

    Being single for me right now means a chance for me to have unlimited fun. For me to do stuff alone and learn more about myself. I meet a lot of new people with no strings attached and figure out qualities I want and dont in my future ideal mate. Its a mix of self discovery and weeding out the good and bad through experiences.

    I HATE being single...

    I hate going to bed alone at night.

    But alas...

    I've come to the realization as of late... that most likely... I will always be single. I'll be the old lady with too many cats...

    I was single until age 20, and that was enough to last me a lifetime. Done.

    My sex drive is way too high to be anything else but married, with a wife in close proximity at all times. I don't know how "single" folks deal with such sporadic sex. I'd go crazy.
    You'd be surprised at how quickly sex drops on the priority list. I could probably get laid any night of the week if I wanted to, just go down to the bar and come on to some douchy looking guy, but I don't want to. Sex is the last thing I'm concerned about and I don't want to have sex with random dudes anyway.

    I wish I could say the same. Unfortunately, though, I'm 37 and my sex hormones are on OVERDRIVE... oKay... It doesn't mean I want to go have sex with random dudes. But I'll be honest... there are some days, I'm tempted. LOL

    I hope I am never single again. And yes the celibacy/sporadic sex thing is tough! That said there are things to enjoy about it and looking back I wish I enjoyed it a lot more, had I known where I'd end up I probably would have. But I spent too much time while I was single worrying about being single!!!!!!
    so my advice is enjoy the positives, get out there and get interested in life and the more you do that probably the shorter period of time you'll be single anyway!!!!!

    Are guys like this actually so rare girls are asking him to be cloned? I thought we were all like this.

    Ok, I lied, a lot of guys are asshats, but if so many girls want a guy like this, why am I still single?


    True story: I'm unique.

    But it's not even so much as men being asshats. If you're a lot like me, then you'll understand you are no less-masculine than a *kitten*, or EVEN a typical guy. It'd mean you and I and a few like us figured out the awesomeness of intimacy without regard to sexual intercourse.

    Okay - only a couple people here know this non-guyish fact about me...

    I've had sex JUST for the intimate time afterward...just because I wanted to feel...(this is embarrassing...omg..)I wanted to feel special.

    There. I said it. It's out there.


    :)

    :beers: to the guys who don't give a sht about man-cards. :)

    I'm not a guy... but cheers! I'll raise a drink to that! :drinker:

    You won't be single for long...

    it's true, in a lot of ways being single isn't much fun. i miss being special, and being able to make someone else feel special.

    on the plus side being single is the best way to get to know yourself and to make yourself feel special and i fully intend to spend my time doing just that. no time for moping!

    Unfortunately, I'm tired of "knowing myself" and 'making myself feel special"...in bed :(

    The best thing about being single?

    Spending money on tons of VS panties for myself (not on anyone else)
    Having all the time in the world to rebuild my car and work on it without the annoying "You put more time, effort, affection into your car than me" crap.

    I've been in a relationship for almost 3 years now, and I MISS being single.

    You have total independence. When you're in a relationship, you don't. It's nice to always have someone there, but I miss being able to get up and leave, no questions asked, whenever I feel like it. You have unlimited time to spend on yourself instead of worrying that your significant other will feel dissed when you spend time on yourself instead of them. You don't have to report to anybody except yourself.

    I miss bewig single, sometimes. Not for the reasons being I want to see other men, I love my guy :)

    BUT - It was easier for my weightloss. Id go home, make my chicken and veggies, get to sleep early, stay at the gym for hours, whateva. Its the whole, "Only worrying about myself" selfishness I miss.

    And having one of my best GF's as a roommate. Now, that was fun :)

    You can spend your money, on yourself, with nobody else's permission, or judgement :)

    I'm starting to get those natural hormonal impulses to commit to a monogamous relationship...I'm just too damn picky.

    I love my boyfriend to death but there are things I do miss about being single like:

    Being able to go out and go clubbing with my friends whenever I wanted
    Not having to shave my legs and um.. Other places everyday.
    Not worrying about gaining a couple of pounds
    Being able to text and flirt with other guys



    Theres alot of perks about being in a relationship though and I'm happy to give those things up

    I can do what I want and sleep in the middle of the bed with my dog! But evenings get lonely and it's tiring hearing about things my friends do with their hubbies/boyfriends.

    I can do whatever I want whenever I want. I can control the remote and don't have to put up with shows I can't stand. I can go out with my friends whenever I want. I can eat healthy without having the temptation of crappy foods in the house. Can't really get better than that!

    This is my life and I'm married. Guess it all boils down to the person you're with.

    It's a mixed bag.. some things are great. . nobody to answer to. nobody to nag. . but also nobody to help out and nobody to trust and to lean on. .

    I've been divorced 10 yrs. Single/dating for most of that period. Last serious relationship was over 3 yrs and I gave up after that. Decided to invest in myself and quit looking for some magical unicorn that would make my world complete.

    On the positive side, it's my house and I decorate any damn way I please.
    My kids don't have to compete with another man for my attention.
    My sleep is uninterrupted by snoring or bed hogging.
    My meals are determined by me, myself and I (cooking optional)
    Come and go as I please and don't have to explain why I took 2 hrs piddling around in walmart
    Bank account reflects my spending habits, and not someone else's impulses.
    I have options! 8-)
