I was single for a couple years, but I've been in a relationship for a while now. It is nice, but now I'm terrified of what will happen when we break up. (Because we will. I'm not getting married at 17.) Our D&D group will be a mess!
I wasn't too unhappy when I was single, though. I had a couple people ask me out, but I didn't want to date someone just so that I wouldn't be "alone." What was frustrating was trying to find someone I could really get along with.

I'm not happy. I want to find a girl who loves video games and doesn't find my awkwardness creepy (cause I'm SO bad at talking to girls and making myself sound appealing) I'm currtenly on dating websites trying to find someone but I don't even know how to like ask a girl out ona date or anything
i have two male freinds who i never see any more and only ever talk to girls at collage and only if i need to for my work
and i dont mind i really don't my laptop and xbox are my best freinds they always make me happy
but i have never had a girlfreind so i guess i dont know what im missing if anything

I know it sounds a bit tragic, but I have never actually been in love. I have a sex drive just like anyone else but I've never met a girl who is right for me and for whom I am equally right.
I think this is probably my fault because my personality tends to waver between 'very boring' and 'insufferable'. I either don't say a word for days on end or I refuse to shut up. I have phases of being frantically productive and the rest of the time I'm a lazy sod. It's not on the level of Bipolar, but it's definitely not normal.
I think if I ever do find a girlfriend, it will be someone who is 'like me', but I am the only person I know of who is 'like me', so I'm not sure that love is really possible, at least for the forseeable future.
So in answer to the question, I am content to be alone for the moment, and it's just as well really.
On an unrelated note, if there are any girls out there (Ha, he asks The Escapist, quite in vain) who think they could last more than an hour in my presence then do not hesitate to contact me.

I'm generally... not happy, exactly, because I can be happier and much more miserable in either state; that is to say, in a relationship or not...
What was I saying? Oh, yes. I'm perfectly content to be single, most of the time, which is handy given that it's been, oh a year since I last had a vaguely romantic encounter, for which there are myriad reasons, not least of which is a complete lack of effort to find a new partner, a considered approach, rather than simply not being willing to put the effort in.
Which is not to imply that if I wanted to I could just go out and pull. I'm not a terribly easy person to get along with for most people, I dare say. And I'll still horrifically overanalyse things.

I would imagine asexuals would be pretty damn skippy to remain single, though as for anyone else I think it depends on the individual in question, how their relationships have gone in the past and generally how important a relationship is to them. Personally I'm single and bloody miserable, but I hardly think a relationship is going to improve my disposition all that much. If it weren't for my knee-jerk reaction to loneliness I'd be quite content...or at least no more/less miserable being single, I don't really have any conscious desire to commence one. Really just connecting with someone beyond the more superficial ties and shared interests would probably do a lot more for me than the stolid, cyclical conversation supplemented with hollow gratification that relationships seem to entail. Basically to really comprehend and get inside someone rather than...just getting inside them.
I'm unhappy about it... (Currently single)
But that's only because I'm yet to find out what it's like to be in a relationship to begin with....
Then again, I don't really WANT to start one until I'm self-sufficient financially (20, living out of home) and emotionally... Although that probably has to do with other, unrelated topics...

Wow, pretty much this.mParadox said:I'm fairly happy actually. Not much to tell, really.
I have no interest in finding a relationship. I just don't see the appeal of it, in all honesty.
As much I love seeing love bloom around me, I'd rather pass. >.>
Plus, I don't get why people couple being single or alone with being lonely.
I guess I am somewhat fine being single. I mean yes I would love to be in a relationship but I'm not exactly pursuing for love right now.
I used to be really bothered by my singleness, but nowadays I'm okay with my singleness. I guess I've grown in some respect. I sometimes get a twang of envy when one of my friends/acquaintances announces their engagement, I'd like someone special, but It's no longer killing me to not have one.Jacco said:
I don't think that anyone is truly happy being single. They may be content, but we are all looking for someone to share our lives with, one way or another, and we wouldn't be looking for it if we were happy without it.
My last relationship didnt end well for me. She ran off with some guy no clue who he is. After that, I felt somehow free. I actually started enjoying life more. Whether it was her that was sucking the life out of me, I'm not sure. But at this stage, I'm quite happy. I'm not getting sex, but thats a different topic I would imagin.
I was happy ish being single, especially before I had had a relationship. However once I had had a relationship I really missed having someone, even though my ex is a total nutter and I didn't/don't miss her one bit. It took me a while but I did eventually give up looking for someone and just enjoyed life, then I met my current girlfriend and yeah don't ever want to go back to being single again.
