~Single & Loving It~
| Wed, 07-11-2007 - 11:08am |
How many on this board are very, very, very happily single?
I love being single, but I also live at home too!!!! But I love it. I don't have to worry about if my man wants supper at a certain time. I don't have to anwser to a man, and I don't have to worry about a broken heart, plus I can spend my money on me!!!! I'm not dating nor looking to get married anytime soon. Maybe when I'm in my 30s....maybe.

Right on! I wouldn't mind having a man around, but I love being able to do what I want with anyone's opinion!!!!
If something like that happened to me, I wouldn't wanna be with anyone for a loooooooong time.
I see your point very clearly. It something I think some people take for granted either way, single or not, until they are single or in a relationship, good or bad.
Hey good for you. So what do you like to do now that you're single?
Yeah that sounds like me. Still living at home. Of course I have my special reasons for that. Oh hello btw. I'm back. And oh yeah, I am stuck between being single and being coupled. I'm with a guy...well, kind of. We have done "stuff" together (nudge nudge, wink wink). But I don't feel like we're a real couple. Oh well. I'm just hard to get to. Well, my heart is anyway.
Maybe it's better this way, for now. Involved but not attached? It's kind of like having your cake and eating it too.
'...Maybe when I'm in my 30s....maybe'.
Most definitely when you're in your 30s... How young are you? I get puzzled every time I read a post from a girl in her early twenties bemoaning the fact that she is single. Single and young go together hand in hand very happily. Single and in your 30s, especially mid to late 30s, is a completely different story all together. We've had the 'can one be 30+ and happily single' many times on here so I won't repeat what has been said but I stand by my opionion that no, one can't, not really and truly and deep inside.
'..I'm tired of putting in 110 percent only to have the other person put in 40 or 50. Forget it, I'd rather just be single'.
If you met someone who would want to put 120 per cent into a r-ship with you along with your 110 - would you still rather be single?

You know, you really made me think on that one, good question. I don't think I can answer it conclusively now, quite honestly...I don't think I've had that opportunity, ever. My ex....I got relationship practice, so to speak, with him, but we were kids (not that I'm not young now, but you know what I mean). We were in high school, college...it wasn't the same. We went out once, then he asked me to be his girlfriend. It took him a few months to kiss me. Seriously. :) He did put his share of the effort in at first, though, but as I said, it's definitely not the same, so I don't know how I'd feel if a guy were willing to put the effort in now. If I really liked the guy, I'd probably be willing to give it a shot, sure. My mentality is to enjoy being single while I can, dating around and such...and if someone comes along that I think it worthy of being in a relationship with and wants to put in the effort, great. I'm just not looking for him.
I'm 25, I'll be 26 in October. But I can see what you're saying though. I like being single, but I also live at home so it would probably be different if I lived on my own and whatnot.
