single
emma hm.

i know many young people of all sexes who are single - and "frustratedly" so. what, they wonder, is so unnattractive about me?

but they also know that there's really nothing so terrible about themselves. they're all nice, funny, intelligent, and of moderate good looks.

so ...

why the bloody hell don't they hook up?

yolanda Molly, i can see why you would want flawless beauty, but i'm not sure where embarrassed comes from. i think i might be jealous. 000527

Meg It has been some time since I have been. I used to like it a lot as I could do exactly what I wanted and no one could tell me what to do. No one would be there over my shoulder and make disapproving faces at me when I was having a ball!
Then I met him and realised that I did want someone to be bothered about me and look out for me. I can still do exactly what I want and I do not get frowned upon. But I am part of something larger as well. I like that a lot.

Megan It has occured to me that the single ones are usually the unlucky and the idealistic. I consider myself idealistic, if not completely unlucky. I'm also therefore inexperienced in this thing other girls have mastered that I like to call,"shoving your boobs in a guys face, giggling, and feeling no remorse or shame afterwards." My idealism is holding out for a man who can just imagine me doing those things once I get to know him. But then theres this part of my brain that's going,"You idiot! What is wrong with you? You haven't smoked up enough to use that as an excuse! You are never going to find a guy who wants you for you, not because you shove your boobs in his face."

Ethics are a bitch.

Oh, and don't think I could get a man even if I did shove my boobs in some guys face. For one thing, they're not big enough to beat out some of the sluttier girls, and for another, for some reason guys don't like it when a girl doesn't play dumb. Oh, and then there's the whole me not being 54-26-36... and then there's the whole me not being good looking... although I don't think I'm ugly.....

ok this is getting to be one of two things: narcissistic or long and boring. actually, it's probably both.

please forgive me.

deb single was good
taken was good too
each had its downsides
engaged is awesome,
for me, only once-
i plan to never have to
worry about the dating scene
again-
married will be even better,
mostly because i can actually
SEE him
(he's a state away, sigh.)

but yeah, single was good.
while it lasted.

i don't wanna go back.

Quiggz Megan,
Know one thing. Quite a large amount of the guys in the world are sex obsessed jerks. I'd know, I'm a guy myself. But I think you're a better person for taking the high road and following your own morals. It's hard sometimes (I know that from first hand experience as well), but stick with being yourself. You'll probably feel better about yourself in the end. And ya know what? A few good guys would probably think you're great for not being a boob shover, but they can't read your mind. Hell, why am I talking about this, I've no experience in dating.... ah, whatever. Disreguard my blathering as the ravings of a lonely madman, if you so wish. Rock on, and go get yerself a guy YOUR way.

Megan Thanks, Quiggz. 010127

Quiggz Megan, no prob.
Idealism is hope, and vice versa. If we don't keep them alive, then what's the point in existing?

Chrity Being single sucks. I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't get hit on all the time by people twice my age - or older. (they only do when I am single, How do they know?) I might just see how long I can stay single, just to spite those old fogies that don't know how to hit on people their own age. :) 010408

CinnamonGirl I've never had a relationship with commitment for more than a week.... sad I know I just can't, just today I broke up with my bf, it lasted 4 days and I cheated on him. I do have serious relationships it's just without commitment... my love life is sooo weird 010605

Dafremen Girl, remember that thing I said about it not being you? I might have been mistaken. 010605

yummychuckle I am single.
I don't want to be...
But I'm only fourteen.
then again, what does that mean nowadays?
some of my friends are fourteen, also.
there is this completely inccoent one who doesn't know crap and looks like a 4th grader..
then there is another that has had sex with 5 guys, does an assortment of drugs..a been there, done that kinda person.

so how am I supposed to judge what 'only fourteen" is?
it sounds young, and should be innocent.
but isn't.

so anyways i always think what i loser i am for being single. then i think how i am "only fourteen" and i realize that is no excuse.

ugh what a world we live in.

sphinxradio it takes some strength to pull it off gracefully. i don't know that i've yet mastered that art, or if i ever will. there are those of us who feel weakened without someone to always turn to.
i guess, as far as that goes, there are some who are weakened by their someones. and that's when it starts to get tricky.

bryn I burn for someone to hold, to be my own, but at the same time, being single is good. I'm very busy right now, so having a s/o would be a problem, 'cause I couldn't give them any attention ( I'm writing on borrowed time here) but also, I;m just plain scared of a serious relationship. I don't want to get burned like so many of my friends, yet I know I'll have to jump in the fire sometime. It presents a conumdrum. 040329

stray this is the first time i've bene single in about a year and i want to stay this way for a while. i've always had someone to cuddle with or kiss or hug, or fret about, or worry about, or think about. for now i don't. i want to remember what thats like, so i think i'll refrain from finding a girl for a while. 050207

Alvarny Sometimes, I just want to be left alone, to be away from everything familiar, far from everyone I know.... just to start out anew, as a stranger in a strange land.

The closer you are to someone, the less you can bear your thoughts. Only as an anonymity among other anonymities, can I truly be me...

Emptyness Alive single again. drove her away. she cheated on my three times but i wouldnt let her go i loved her. still do. but i wouldnt let go of what she did either. asked to marry me. a secret engagment. she said yes. no look at me alone again. always alone. 060516
...
miz tree i'm not teasing him. i count bobby among the skites most likely to simply look at me and giggle, appropriate or not, blowing whatever airs i had managed to gather. stork is way up there too, though he'd more chuckle than giggle.

i think, though, that i could genuinely kiss each and every skite, in affection and appreciation. i'd rather lick you, but take what you can get.

Doar a lick with attitude. and I always take what I can't get.

REAListic optimIST as my grandmother rightly pointed out, i've been single all my life since i've never been married. however, this is the first time i've had a girlfriend in over 5 years. it's hard to believe it's been that long. certainly there have been suitors, but there were legitimate reasons to say no to each one. certainly i've chased a few skirts, but didn't land one during that time. mostly, it's because my mind must be wooed to set the mood, and most girls expect premature e-copulation then get disappointed when it's not attempted. i just take a while to drink a girl in before i know if i'm ready because i tend to open up and fall hard. if i don't choose_wisely, then i wind up on my face. the last two girls i dated ran the instant they felt the depth of my caring. such is the fate of one so sincere and passionate. this one is different, however. she admitted depth first, and hasn't run but has reciprocated in the face of difficult honesty. i don't know where this is going, but i plan to be as open and full as always, and give it every chance to be ready for that. 071124
