Seems like everything's going wrong in people's relationships lately, that I know anyway. My cousin split up with her boyfriend, my best friend's girlfriend ended it with him, My sister and her boyfriend are constantly arguing....
You know a few weeks ago I was annoyed that I was spending yet another Christmas alone, but maybe it's not so bad after all considering all this. I mean there's a lady at work who I know likes me just from her watching me from 20 feet away, I think she's something like 7/8 years older than me, but I hear she's with someone, so I can't pursue her even if I wanted to.
I guess single life ain't so bad after all.

Better to be alone and happy than being with someone just for the sake of being with someone.

^Could not have said it better myself.
I often wonder why some people worry about other people's love lives. A co-worker/friend gave me some flack for being single a while back. Now I know I would like to be with someone, but why should it matter if I am with someone or not?

Now I know I would like to be with someone, but why should it matter if I am with someone or not? I get that alot, but with the extra tint of "why don't you want a gf?". I have to explain there's a difference between not wanting one and not knowing anyone you actually want to date. |

I have to explain there's a difference between not wanting one and not knowing anyone you actually want to date. Most of the time, it's just indifference about meeting someone than being shy to talk to women. This past semester, I did try with some, but I blew my chances with one because of how I approached (Long story), another I tried but she told me that she is a homebody, and another had a boyfriend (She didn't exactly reject me. I asked her what she did the previous weekend and she mentioned that she hung out with her boyfriend). It's not like I didn't try. I just don't understand why it seems important for someone to be with someone. I remember testing that once and it turned out that I wasn't really into the girl and it was very brief, too. I don't count it as a past relationship. |

Being in a relationship is awesome if you are with the right person. I've been happily married for 7 years, and we dated for about a year before that, and were friends about a year before that. And my sister and her husband have been together for about 20 years. They were high school sweethearts, and are still very much in love in their 30s.
That being said, you hit the nail on the head. You should not feel pressured to be with someone because it's expected of you by society or whatever. People need to live the life that works for them. If that means bachelor for life, live it up and enjoy the hell out of it.
I just don't like it when people think all relationships are bad, or that the single life is bad. It just depends on the person.

Just wait. Valentines Day is approaching, and soon single ex gfs and women interested in you will come swarming out of the woodwork. You'll have more options than you can shake a stick at. I know you are enjoying being single, I'm just saying this will give you more options.

It's okay to want a relationship, as long as you don't NEED a relationship. You got a lot going for you dude, and I bet you bring a lot more to the table than any woman you've approached. Either way, you can be happy in life with or without someone.

Better to be alone and happy than being with someone just for the sake of being with someone. The paradox of that is that humans tend to get really depressed when they are alone. |

Haha, doubt i'll end up an indy legend, but thanks anyway rapidfire187  . I do WANT a relationship Rehab, but I know I don't need one. I'd just like someone to share all my experiences with. Hell I might even have a crack at the lady at work tomorrow! All she can say is no right? I was rejected by a gay girl two months ago (obviously I didn't know she was gay or I wouldn't have asked her out) so that's no problem. |
