are you in a relationship?

Sometimes I'm bitter about being single, other times I prefer it.

Right. I'm actually the same way most of the time - I haven't met anyone worth giving up my single-dom....

still - I also get bitter about being so damn single sometimes.

I am very single....I would be alone in my room, except that my computer is in the living room....and I have a roommate to keep me company (when his nose isn't in a book).

I ended my last relationship back in February 2002. Sometimes I forget why I did it, and yes, I'm lonely from time to time. Between 18 & 28, I had three long term relationships, each lasted about three years - give or take a few months here and there. By the age of 28, I had decided that I had had enough of it all. I dumped my guy, gracefully and compassionately, and have been on my own ever since. I'll lie and say it's nice to be single....though I sometimes wish I weren't so alone. I will admit to having small moments of sadness when I see other couples who are obviously happy....cause I miss that... But, I just remind myself that it was I who wanted to be alone, I who needed to grow into myself, and I who felt like I needed to discover what was 'out there' and what my place in the world is - and what I wanted from it. After three years....nothing has changed really....except that I'm stronger emotionally, and I work more.

Sometimes, I hear Stevie sing that lyric from Doing The Best That I Can....and I flinch a little, 'cause it's me...."she thought she was out there, but nobody saw...."

I'm not looking for a partner...I'm not dating anyone....I only want to do the 'relationship thing' once more....so it better be right....but when he finds me, I'll know.

I'm partly single and partly in a relationship. It's nothing serious, though, so I don't know what I'd call it. F*ckbuddy is too crude a word for me to use this morning, but give me a few hours and that's probably what I'd call it.

I'm in the best relationship I've ever been in. We looked at engagment rings last week so it probably won't be long till we get married It's just a matter of him saving up money now!

Yup - that just about sums up my life, too. I've had my chances... but something has always stopped me from taking the proverbial plunge. I'm not one to settle, and I enjoy my own company, so I'm not completely miserable. I also have great friends, so I'm not at all a loner. Bitter, every so often, for sure, though! I sometimes look at couples and go, okay, if they found someone, what's wrong with meeeeee? My first true love just set the bar too damned high. *sigh*

God. Someone unplug my computer, because I'm making no sense. WOO.

Morrissey... *swoon*

I am recently single (again!). And as much as I'd like to not be, I know if I were to pursue something with someone at this point it would just be to distract myself and avoid dealing with sh*t in my own life that needs to be dealt with before I drag someone else down...

But I still chose the second option .

[WELSH WITCH]

Like Deanna I haven't found anyone worth giving up my single-dom for and I don't really mind.
I'm a happy single as they call it.

I've never been in a relationship (that thing from high school doesn't count ). I like being single, but it would be nice to go out every once in a while with a great guy.
