How many of you are sick of being single?
I wouldn't use the word "sick" of it really. It just is nice to have someone around once in the while to do things with, share things, etc. I've been single now almost 4 yrs and I sure as hell do not want to go through that crap every again with the last one. I like my freedom but I also like the social connection with someone too.
It gets old and boring after the initial surge of freedom wears off.
At times you just want a decent conversation, a shared activity, company for dinner and a solid bang after.
I do like the freedom that comes with being single, but there is some lonliness that comes with it as well. If you have a good relationship with someone but can't be with them all the time - it's still good being single. Having communities of people like this to talk to is a bonus.
I am kind of hating it. It seems really hard to meet someone new once you hit 50, which I just did. I was in a long-term relationship that tanked about two years ago, I've done the work I needed to do, and I'm really ready to be a great partner but I can't find anyone. I miss it.
Hmmm, interesting question. My feeling about being single are like that of being hungry. Most of the time I am quite content being single, I have always been very independant. But like being hungry, sometimes I just want someone around. I have rarely managed that ballance of having someone who was equally independant, who was great having around because those times you want to spend time together they are there and the rest of the time they are not asking you to spend more time with them.
But it's easier to be single, I have a 10 year old and she fills my need for having someone around to pester inbetween what ever I'm doing. But I wish I could find a grown up who is equally independant and not in constaint need of my attention.
So I am not so much sick of being single, just tired of trying to find someoen who is a good fit, I think a flight attendant would be good, someone who is constaintly going away for days at a time so that by the time I get to missing them, there they are.
I am tired of it. After wasting a ton of time and effort on dating sites, I joined this site with the intention of meeting an attractive lady of an appropriate age range with no kids and similar beliefs. I haven't met any so far, but there are lots of interesting and friendly people nonetheless.
I wouldn't say I'm sick of being single, but I'm feeling like I'm ready to meet someone I want to see often and build a relationship with.
I'm not sick f being single and it has benefits. id like some female company but I don't need it.
I enjoy every minute of it. It has almost been 2 years now. May 1st.
It's an interesting question. I have made my life happy, with just me and my kids. Sure, I have moments where the lonliness is sto strong that it overwhelms me, but I'd rather be lovely than modify my life for the wrong people.
I'd love to find someone - someone who's life fits with mine. But it either will happen, or it won't. Either way, I stil have to keep on living.
After going a stretch of years being attached, I'm content for the time being to be single.
