The 100% Single Thread

i'm 150% single.

i don't have time for a relationship right now. that lack of free time keeps me from being 100% happy more than my singleness does.

 

this is true...and i will be borrowing this line for my own use..thanks glen:mickey:

 

I've been single since the day I was born and I'm pretty happy about it--at least 99.9% of the time! Sure, there are some days when I wish I had a partner, but at the moment I don't see that happening!

 

INDEPENDENT I like that term much better!
:sunny:

 

I have been single for 9 years now. While sometimes I do miss having that special someone, I have been fairly happy for the most part. What I do miss is the intimacy you have when you have been with a person for any length of time. I date infrequently these days. I need the sex, but it is getting harder to find, especially in my age range. I don't mind an occasional one night stand, but even those are hard to come by. Still, I have a certain amount of freedom that I really need, and enjoy, at this time in my life. I imagine I will find someone to settle down with before to long, but not just yet.

 

Well, you had a chance to meet me, but you turned it down....

 

:2thumbsup:

 

Me too, its a good un!
cheers for the rep rolling-

 

I've been single for about a year now.

I was at the bad end of an emotionally abusive relationship for over five years. Not looking for sympathy because once it ended it turned out that this has been the best year I've had in a long, long time.

Re-discovering who you are can be a bitch though.

Being in a relationship would be something ideal but I'm not going to settle for the first person that comes along because that's how I got in my last situation.

 

I never could figure that out. "Discovering" who anyone is. I've met folks that were totally psych'd out, searching for "who they really are", and I figure they need to get drunk for a night. I mean, like come on man! Get a grip on reality! If you wanna know who you are, go look in a fucking mirror already! Wanna know what your meaning in life is? What the fuck is this shit, dude? Not like every living being is here to be a super hero. Just be yourself! What is "yourself"? Gee, I dunno. Look in a fucking mirror, man! What do you see? YOURSELF!

Want a new career? Go to school and learn one! Want a new wife? Give me yours and go hit East Colfax Street in Denver on a Friday night (you'll want your old lady back by the time you get out of jail on Wednesday, trust me!)!

I had to listen to that kind of shit years ago when I was working in the mines here in Colorado. In one summer I encountered several people "searching for themselves". "Huh? Searching for yourself? Dude, go look in a fucking mirror and get the fuck away from me!" "Here. Have some valium and go jump off a cliff!"

Never mind....

 

I would like to apologize if my response angered you in anyway. Really, I'm sorry.

 

Dude, you ain't offended me in the least bit. I was just spouting off like I always do about some nonsense. Don't sweat it, ok?

Wait until I get drunk and post....then watch! LOL! :mickey:

i'm new here, but thought it was rather stupid too.

 

I enjoy being single more than being attached becasue usally when im attached i feel traped some way or another and I get overwhelmed/frustrated easily by other emotional affairs. I also value my alone time to a high extent and im a bit individualistic and im usally precived as unfeeling and callous by most guys becasue of my logical/serious nature. I dont mind having a crush becasue it gives me the emotional high of love but i get over it after a few months. Im also a potential jelous controll freak type and I usally attract boring losers with no substance so its just best for me to stay out of relationships.
I do think about romance at times and i still have an open mind to meet the right person, but im not ready for it at the moment.

 

I revived this thread because I realize now that I feel being single and in a relationship is the same for someone who wants friends (sexual and non-sexual, alike).

So, yeah! Independent. :love:

 

nice...totally forgot about this thread...i am still single....dont even have my sights set on anyone in particular right now....mind you,i could use a blow job...but other than that i am pretty happy NOT having to please a mate..
