Another newly single here.

I always hate seeing anyones relationships end. It sucks.

Personally, I think I'm destined to be forever single. I won't hook up with someone just for the sake of not being alone...and since I don't settle for whatever happens to come along, I'm in for a hell of a wait

[thewhiterecluse]

I am still single but I'm having lunch with someone who has great potential to be more than friends. I am happy with just being friends though, we do have stuff in common.

Always?

I can think of quite a few friends who were in relationships that I was ecstatic to see end.

Myself: single a bit over a year and still loving it.

jdfu!

[aequorea]

single!

i miss the intimacy and trust of a long-term relationship. i miss snuggling and companionship. I miss having sex on a regular basis!

on the other hand, i have the entire bed to myself, every night. i can flirt with whoever i like whenever i feel like it. i do as i please. if i decided to move to paris tomorrow, i could.

(sigh) that said, i would love to feel that spark again, that happy bouncy excited feeling!

in the meantime, patience. and dating as a form of entertainment LOL

[Nightgaunt]

I'm not quite sure what I am anymore. I think there should be a new category...

"Are you single, married, or what?"

"Eh, y'know...I'm just nightgauntin' it."

Something like that.

To define what's going on NOW.. would be different than defining what's happening .. now.. the now now is different than the past now.. and this now is different now different than the past two nows.. *dizzy*

Does anyone follow?

I've been officially single for years now. It loses its luster after awhile and I start thinking of having someone around more often than just a date or a friend. Some days I teeter on that thought though as I am sure others may from time to time.

[Guest Megalicious]

I am single by choice. I need to be alone, I am to busy I need to invest all my time in my son and myself. Beside, me and my ex have a good friendship and I'm not willing to compromise in giving that close bond up do to a hurt or bruised ego.

I haven't the time to invest in a relationship even if I want one (which I don't). I love being alone. The self reflection has been amazing.

OMFGwtfISthisTHREAD.com a cry for help? come on.....srsly, if your single and you DON"T like it, do something about it. no guts, no glory, right? if not, then whatever....

zen is the answer. announcing it is almost like blatant arrogance.

[Raev]

This, is answering a question and talking to each other. A few points of venting, a few points of opinion sharing and discussion.

I'm not seeing an abundance of "oh my god, I'm single and can't survive this way! Waaah! Someone save me!" type of posts, as your comment seems to inaccurately and arrogantly imply. Instead, I'm seeing mostly a lot of short answers with an occasional quip or downright amusing comment ( <3 hunhee) with the minority being whining.

Umm gee, have anger issues? Some of us singles have been this way for a while so yeah, it's tiring. Especially when other threads have comments like how great it is having someone. Or those bragging about how great their sex life is. You say do something about it like telling someone, oh you're out of milk so go to the store. It's not that simple. When you put yourself out there, you feel vunerable. You socialize and hope a spark forms with someone. You hope to meet someone you want to get to know, someone who interests you. But if you're not much of a bar person, where do you go to meet people? I don't know. Picking someone up at the mall seems teenagish. The gym? My gym has seperate days for men and women so that won't work. Grocery store? Movie theater? Please tell me were and how because I don't know and you seem to think it's so simple that no one should be single. So share the wisdom and tell us what to do, where to go and how to do it.

I am so tired of hearing comments about single people wishing to change their situation with comments like quit whining, just go out and do it and such. Why is it that you can brag if your sexlife is good or your relationship is doing great but you can't complain about being single?? Why is one ok but not the other? I go to CC, go other places. I try to join in conversations, be part of a group of people. You can't force your way into a group, you can't force yourself into a conversation. All you can do is try to participate and hope you are included. Some single people feel jaded because others make them feel inadequate because they can't find someone. They are treated like something must be wrong with you, finding someone is soooo easy . It's not easy when you want to find someone who you may spend the rest of your life with. A singles thread is a good idea. It allows single people to see who else is. Gives you an idea on who you may want to get to know and see what develops if anything. It also lets you find comfort in knowing people you talk to are going thru something similar. Sorry you don't seem to like that. So instead of putting someone down with snide comments, why not try boosting their self esteem. That's a good way to find someone, by feeling positive about yourself you can attract someone. It's just that it's not always easy feeling that way and sometimes someone may need a little positive boost. Dismissive comments don't help.

OK, I'll get off the soapbox now.

[SaGa]

draco thank you for your reply. put the words right out of me, basicly the double standard i have been feeling with those who have someone and those who dont. but its nice to see som people able to survive without a SO for such a long time. i hope for the best for myself and everyone else in this chaos.

Ok so you may not realize this, but over 50% of the population in the world is WOMEN. And women are everywhere. If you don't like the club/bar scene, there's no reason why you need to suck up to an assanying subculture just to score a chick that aint gonna be what you want anyway. The huge trick to picking up women is... GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING YOU ENJOY

Anything, it doesn't matter, eventually a girl will come along. Also, don't shoot for a 10, 10's dont exist, shoot for a 6-7. Since you met this girl doing something you enjoy, you already share a common interest... Fuck, even on WoW or Everquest you can pick up chicks... you can pick them up anywhere. It just takes patience and sticking to what you enjoy. A girl will eventually come around.

relationships. i allways said its the rule of five to making them work

Respect

Communication

Compromise

Trust

Work

why work and compromise. because no matter how perfect the partner is, you WILL dissagree on some points. as KBK wisely put it;

Also, don't shoot for a 10, 10's dont exist

if your single, not liking it fine, just don't be EMO; Lest ye be damned to brimstone and fire. and besides, being unhappy is not attractive to anyone but someone wanting someone to nursemaid, and once your in there and stop being emo, that spark is no longer there for her

1 year in a week or two of nothing official status-wise.

I find that extremely hard to believe.
