    Feeling like if I don't already have much dating experience (and I'm supposedly in my prime dating years) how am I ever going to get experience? It's like the saying "I have no experience so I can't get a job, but but how do I get experience without a job? That and feeling like a loser because of my inexperience.

    That's simple. The lack of sex.

    Sex is easy to get without beiung in a relationship especially for a girl.. For me its that companionship late at night when its storming outside being cuddled on the couch watching horror movies ,that kinda thing

    Sex...

    but companionship, it's hard to always see couples together. A lot of my friends are attached so sometimes it would be nice to have someone to do some things with.

    When I was in Mexico the couples were everywhere and that wore me down a bit. But, I won't settle so that's just the way it is!

    Maybe for some of you, but it's goddam near impossible for me. Even guys have said this to me, then nothing happens. Not for lack of trying (and no, not trying too hard!) on my part.

    Just like others have said, a combination of "boom boom" time and the companionship.

    Hmmm..I think not having the companionship. Its different hanging around a girlfriend and a potential guy you are interested in. I've never been in a relationship, and I tend to gravitate towards people who are still single and never married. It gets frustrating to be somewhat successful in my professional life, but my personal life sucks for the most part.

    There are no downsides. Its 100% pure awesome.

    And I've been single for a very long time, several years.. so I've had time to think about the pros and cons and reconcile loneliness and so called "lack of sex" (speak for yourselves). But yeah, still awesome.

    the companionship, totally agree, as a old fashioned romantic, I love the idea of been cuddled up with my gal, Id swap that for the party lifestyle anyday

    Being one of the oldest ones pushed on to the dance floor at the wedding to catch the bouquets. (Happened this weekend)

    Lack of companionship for sure. It was different when I was younger and had a ton of single friends. Now that I'm 30, most of my friends are married, and many of them have kids, and that cuts down on their socializing with single/childless folks. I also seem to be a magnet for long-distance relationships, so that sucks, too. I'm pretty independent, so I don't necessarily want someone around literally all the time (no live-in boyfriends for me), but it would be cool to finally have someone who lives within reasonable driving distance who I could see whenever I wanted.

    I concur, completely.

    The toughest thing for me is that nearly every girl I'm interested in is married. And on the off chance they are single, then I'm simply not their type or they live too far away. It's pretty rough out there.

    When I was single, the problem I found is that nobody seemed to be interested.... get in a relationship and they all want you, wtf is with that?

    [When I was single, the problem I found is that nobody seemed to be interested.... get in a relationship and they all want you, wtf is with that?

    Yup. And lack of companionship. Late 30's and almost everyone I know is married or in a relationship so they have their S/O's to discuss problems, good times/bad times with.

    wow, ****, you do speed skating on roller blades?? That's pretty hardcore!! A one minute shift in hockey was draining enough for me, y'all go around that track twice as fast!

    Yeah, it is a fun and addictive sport for me. I have the need for speed.... \m/ I also cycle as a cross trainer and race on my bike from time to time.

    Sex is easy enough to find, what I miss is meaningful sex. I miss being excited to see someone every day and touch and be touched (not necessarily in a sexual way). I miss the talking, companionship, cuddling, sleeping next to someone and having him drape his arm over my waist. All those little things.

    I am, however, relishing in being single at the moment.

    Genuine affection
  • Posts: 686 Member
    I don't mind being single at the moment. The toughest part for me is having the better part of my friends be in relationships/married/with kids. We don't see each other as often and they have to find sitters or check with their significant other if there are any scheduling conflicts. Plus they always have get-togethers with other couples and I'm the only single one. Eh, whatever.

    For everyone complaining about all their friends are in relationships. Simple solution find new friends. It helped out a lot when I did that.
