Who Here Is Single


Recommended Posts

I've been on and off in love with the same guy for about 3 years. We hate eachother. We hate eachother intently, and threaten eachother's lives frequently. We get into fights, and hurt eachother... we spite eachother and try to destroy one another.

Obviously there's a deep amount of love there as well. I'm starting to realize though, how irrelevent that love is.... and how two people who have to hate in order to love can never really be happy together. Neither of us are willing to submit and put in the effort it would take to have a successful relationship. Neither of us will bow in any way for the other.

It's very unfortunate. I can feel for nobody else but him. But I guess in time either we can end attraction completely, or grow up and realize what beautiful thing awaits us if we put in the effort.

Yep. I just got out of a 3 year engagement with a similar situation. I think we'll always love eachother, but it was destroying me to try to be with him any longer. *sigh*

Considering that i've paid for every date that i've ever been on, I would have to say that being single is saving me some money cause dating is expensive.

I hear you on that note. I often pay as well.

That's bs! Why would you let someone do that to you? I understand, on a first date, going Dutch in case there's no chemistry. I understand, in a long-term relship, going Dutch or taking turns paying. I CANNOT, personally, justify any one person paying more than the other in a relationship. It's called a relationship because it's two people having relations, and with the Equal Rights movement, all are EQUAL. Damn those moochers!

Now, if only I had time to date... I'd likely be less single... I hope... lol

Yes it was bs but being a single parent my choices are limited because most guys don't want to date someone who has a child.

The only time I ever have problems with a sigother being a parent is when they do a bad job and their kids are terrors... those poor kids... And kids deserve to be treated as part and parcel of the relationship, ie being paid for. Never lower your standards, always look out for your child(ren)'s and your own best interests. I know a lot of guys are immature. They, unfortunately, give all of our breed a bad name. Not all guys are cockholsters, I swear!

I've dated some great guys who just happened to be struggling grad students or artists and didn't make much money. It's not like they were mooching. I offered to pay for dinner, and they accepted. Yes, it gets old after a while. But, I'm not someone who is interested in dating for money and/or status. Besides, men with higher incomes often look for women at least 10 years younger than them.

Hmm... I personally don't care about a s/o's income, as long as they can pull their own weight. I'm currently looking at women a few years older than myself because I have a hard time finding a partner in the same place that I am now. We all walk different paths in life and I want someone who will walk beside me, not someone I have to help along.

I am single...and while I love the freedom it permits me to have, I miss someone to hold me at night, someone I know will always be there for me when I get home from work (when I have a job anyhow) someone who will know when to hug me and when to just let me to myself to think. Someone who can just look at me and I would know that everything, no matter how fucked up things get, is going to be O.K. I wish i had someone to passionately disagree with them only to kiss, hug and make up.

OK that would sooo be in a perfect world :p

I do however have a good group of friends though that fill my life..ones I know I can can talk to and divulge any secret into and not have them think I am a freak or just plain bizarre. Hopefully I don't lose them cause then I would be lost.

I am in no hurry to jump back in a relationship...I need to get more settled in life first. A car, someplace other then my dads house to live in and a job are a few things I would love to have before I even think about getting into anything serious.

I ish sorry :( but that's the fond times i wish i could have with someone so truly special to me that i dont even care what anyone says or thinks about them...they are mine and i am theirs :D....Ahh to be a hopeless romantic... it sucks...but I love it! I am the kind of person who would do every last thing in the world if only to make my sig other happy. I would spend every penny...not to quite a song but this is how i am:

" A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they've got trains and plains and cars i'd walk to you if i had no other way. Our friends would all make fun of us but we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way. Delilah I can promise you that by the time that we get through the world will never ever be the same...and your to blame..." Plain White Tees- "Hey There Delilah".....ugh to even think that i have no one to walk to is hard :p

Oh, don't be sorry. I'm a romantic at heart, and your post makes me realize how I miss romance in my life.
