Single and lovin' it.

I don't believe in marriage. Long-term relationships can work out fine but to be bound to the same person for life? Naaah! It rarely works. That's why all the messy divorces happen.

IF you want children, that is.

Wow, most of you are so lucky.

(I wasn't gonna post something this long but then I saw the post about the short fat guy with the small dick and thought WHAT THE HELL! LOL)

Single, Straight (Heterosexual) I have neither been in a serious relationship/ been with a man since I was 21, I am now 36 (You do the math) It isn't for want of the ocassional guy being interested. There were a few serious interests, but neither of us really acted on it.

The decade of my 20's was pretty much spent caring for others and working. I have also had some embarassing/humiliating skin problems, that didn't help with my self esteem. In my early 30's I was able to finally focus on myself and complete my degree while working. I also battled one hell of a weight problem (I still am) and an addiction to food. And have had a rough time in relationships. (So, yes, some baggage, sorry, but who doesn't at this point in our lives)

I find myself now at 36 with the proverbial "OOPS I forgot to get married and have kids" syndrome. And I find I am relatively happy alone. There is a part of me though that WOULD like to meet the proverbial "soul mate". I once read that "Love is best-friendship set on fire". This pretty much is what I'm looking for, but not actively (I'm not the sort to online date or hit the "bar scene/meat markets" - ZERO INTEREST and I'm too shy and quiet for that crap - I'd rather stay home and read a good book LOL). I would like the experience of being in that sort of warm nurturing relationship, that intimacy with a man; at least once. And for us to experience the absolute miracle of creating and bringing a life into this world. I know myself enough to know that I think I would be a good parent (I.e. I'd do my best and that THAT would be enough) I'd love to find that person "I just click with and that I just know". I'm told that when you find them you feel completely comfortable and can "be yourself" with them. It think would take a tremendous weight off my shoulders in some ways. (Learn to breath and relax a little again)

But really it could go either way and I'd be happy. I can easily see myself being alone the rest of my life too. So...I don't worry so much anymore. I can't control it and I can't make "the right man" walk into my life so...Que Cera Cera...

BTW Rockstar..Thanks for being honest and sharing that you're a "hopelss romantic". VERY SWEET to see that men are "THENSE-THATIVE" TOOO! LMAO!

Single, and i like it. Maybe it's because of my past stories, but now i associate the word "single" with "freedom". Maybe one day I'll run into a special person who will make me change idea, but for now it's ok.
