Eh, you get used to the loneliness after a while. Doesn't get any more pleasant, but it does become something expected.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Oh come now you guys, you can't just give up that easily.

It's easy to call any sign of feelings of hopelessness "giving up easily."

. . . Not sure where you're going with that.

He's saying that when you feel helpless for long enough it looks like you've given up on meeting someone, when in reality it's just the fact that you've been so lonely for so long that it begins to become something you gotten used to despite disliking it immensely.

Ah, that makes sense. Now that you say it, that was how I used to feel most of the time.

Happily single, reporting in.

What makes a good man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Happily single? That's a rare breed around here.

I'm happily single, but I'm also a large proponent of getting laid regardless.

Yes. Being single can be pretty awesome. More free time, more disposable income, less having to go see Frozen at the movies even though you hate Disney films instead of staying home to play Call Of Duty and drink beer, et cetera.

I hear that.

I guess it varies between people. There's really nothing about my single life I miss.

Same here. Being single was never good for me. I was just lonely all the time.

The world takes all kind/Different strokes for different folks.

I'm indifferently single. I'm like "Oh, I'm single. Cool. Lets me just eat this vanilla icing out the tub even thought it might be out of date."

I'm not sure I really want to start dating someone so much as I want to be in the "comfortably cohabitating, often snuggling, let's go out most weekends" phase.

Fresh-eyed movie blog

If I want someone to watch films with, go out somewhere with, or just binge out on pizza with... That's what best friends and flatmates are for.

ಠ_ಠ

I need to finish filling out my profile information for a dating site, but I'm not very motivated, at the moment.

This is a signature.

Meh, maybe I'm just too cynical to get back into the dating scene, because it will inevitably end up with me getting my heart broken again in some shape or form, and send my depression progress back by a few months with no one around to pick up the pieces.

ಠ_ಠ

I enjoyed being single,but dating the most for a long time...far more than being single and crushing, single but detached from everyone else hooked up, or my first girlfriend, or just being single and detached (the last was a definite shock as I tend to be an aloner that gadflies up once in a while, and the penultimate was me being an idiot)

I miss the disposable income,I miss being able to go through an empty patch here without feeling cut-off, I miss having my emotions not be completely flipped by someone else's negative state and/or accidentally bringing up a very sore spot. I miss not dealing with Love Hurts when I'm not crushing on anyone,which is the only escape from that.

But not as much as I would miss the cuddling, the companionship that I don't think even my bestest friends could match,which is saying a lot, having my emotions flipped by someone else's good nature, and rest assured if I wasn't exhausted I could probably think up far more.

So frankly,I see no shame in it,and find it condescending to call it "giving up easily".

Well, I guess you'll be disappointed in me.

Because I've given up.

Fuck dating.

And it's not one of those "she'll change her mind because it's ~*~twu wuv~*~. No, fuck true love. Fuck dating. Fuck giving my heart to a random man or woman. Fuck getting my heart repeatedly stamped on. Fuck being left a broken mess. Fuck "but you need a bf/gf in order to feel whole". Fuck "but who will go out to romanctic meals with?". Fuck that. Fuck. Romance.

lol you speaking from personal experience there?

I just wanna share an anecdote with you guys: I'm currently single and was single my entire life until earlier this year (i'm 21 now). if it's taught me one really important thing is that sometimes it really is better to be single than to be with someone who emotionally exhausts you and makes you feel like shit. i mean it wasn't all bad (far from it) but it was such a ridiculous roller coaster ride that fucked me up beyond belief.

honestly taking out the emotional intimacy and validation i had, i'm a lot happier and more stress-free now than i was back then. but i will acknowledge that the relationship was pretty unhealthy in a lot of ways and i'm a person who likes being alone a lot so...

i'd agree but i'm too sentimental and would probably get too attached to the girl and want more. i'm pretty sensitive that way ):

(doesn't mean i'd say no to getting it on with a classy lady tho)

Maybe. Possibly. That's all I'll say.

I've found that the time and effort (and money) that goes towards maintaining a relationship is better spent on my own interests and hobbies. At least I find it more fulfilling. I'll just leave this song here to sum up my feelings on singledom;

Also, I'd say that wanting to be in a relationship just for the sake of it is Doin It Rong. You're just going to make yourself miserable like that because you'll end up with someone you don't really like all that much. I've seen it happen.

this is true.

i could never be with someone just for its own sake. it's honestly not worth it, ever. just chill and let things come naturally. being ronery isn't really an attractive trait anyway.

Maybe that works for you, but there exist people who can't or don't want to get laid.
