You're making a mountain out of an ant hill. I don't understand what the whole point in one night stands. You basically **** someone who you don't intend to speak to or see after that. I don't get it. Sometimes that's exactly what you want. Sorta like the philosophy behind prostitutes. You aren't paying them to have sex, you're paying them to leave when it's over.

Been single all of my life, aside from one occasion where I nearly got into a relationship back when I was fourteen. At that time, I was far too anxious and immature to handle a relationship, so I ended it in less than 24 hours. Should also mention that there was no real-life interaction between myself and the girl; we lived in the same town, got together, next morning ended it. Good 'ol myspace years.
At this point, I can honestly say that I am ready for a girlfriend; however, I have no problem at all with the single life. Being primarily introverted as well, I don't typically care enough to put forth the energy into finding someone, but I remain open to the possibility and would certainly approach a girl if I was convinced there was something. Most of my needs currently are more on the sexual side than on the romance side, but the latter is nice. Guess that comes with being young: having a vigorous sex drive.
It really is just a matter of perception though, whether or not you hate or love being single. Truth be told, I don't care much either way.

I've been in a relationship for 4 years and it seems to me that my single friends are LIVING THE DREAM. I love my GF, but there are moments where the "I made out with 5 girls last night" stories do make me a little jealous Grass is always greener. But keep in mind the things you have that they don't.

I don't understand what the whole point in one night stands. You basically **** someone who you don't intend to speak to or see after that. I don't get it. Nobody said anything about one night stands, but you summarized why people have them. Sometimes you just need to get laid without any emotions at all and one night stands are perfect for that because you don't have to worry about the other person's feelings. If you hook up with someone you know there's a risk of emotions getting involved or just making things awkward. A one night stand is something you have to experience in order to appreciate it, however they really aren't ideal for me so I tend to avoid them. Good point. I mean it's like that with that classmate of mine where I am usually thinking with a different head as opposed to my actual head. Physical attraction, mostly. I haven't done anything with her... yet.

I was single up until February this year, I'm 27. I mean, I enjoyed it, but I also didn't like being alone all the time. I wasn't alone per se, had family and friends, but having a girlfriend is something completely different, almost on another level. I don't see my girl much during the week because of work and she goes to grad school at night, so I see her every weekend and it's great. Maybe my mood would change if I lived with her or saw her every day but I've enjoyed it. The only thing I regret is not spending more time with my boys, but they are off doing their own thing as well. Once you settle in with someone, it's life altering, it's subtle but it's happening.
I also co-sign on a post where a part of me gets jealous when they talk about banging 3-4 girls in a month or whatever. And through Facebook, I see that they are clubbing a lot more. Part of me misses that, don't get me wrong, but knowing these guys, they're all looking for that special chick. It goes both ways, I want that party lifestyle they are living, while they want that settling down life that I have.

I wasn't alone per se, had family and friends, but having a girlfriend is something completely different, almost on another level. At this point, I'm not even sure what I'd do if I were to end up in a relationship. I'm just so out of it and never really had the chance to learn. I'm clueless.
