I find myself becoming firmly footed in the "Yes" category, but that doesn't seem the case with most of my friends. Not even on my behalf.

"Oh, you just need to meet the right guy. When The One [which I, incidentally, don't believe in] comes along, you'll want to be with him." Well, okay, if someone comes along with whom I click so greatly

Sometimes, a hug from a friend isn't enough. And also, I like sex, which you can't get from a friend.

which you can't get from a friend.

Well, not nearly often enough.

[pinguthegreek]

Or not at all if said friend finds someone they want to be with properly.......

I clicked the third one

mostly I'm fine and the answer would definitely be the first

occasionally I'm lonely and a relationship would be so nice

but then I get scared and hide

it's been a very long long time

They'll understand when they play sandwich man to friends who got royally screwed over from relationships with the opposite sex.

I'm just not really in a hurry.

I meet people. There are some to whom I have been quite drawn. I just don't make a lot of opportunities to mingle and meet people.

Sometimes, I just like the freedom of doing what I want, when I want, and not having to deal with other people's opinions and habits. Usually, that's when I'm in or near a relationship. Sometimes, I just want an intelligent person around to have dinner with or whatever. That happens in or out of relationship land.

I don't believe in the one-person-for-everyone thing.

I don't think the world is more bleak because we aren't all paired up.

I don't think those well-meaning friends who try to share the joy of couplehood with us (I have those friends too) are really aware of our inner souls or whatever it is that makes us just fine single or not single.

And I believe there's a huge vat of difference between wanting companionship, even couplehood, and being a miserable waste without it.

There. End of rant. Or beginning of the Ten Single Commandments.
