what's up with being single?

its really a toss up for me, I've been in both spots and just this last october I've been taking being single more serious. I love being in a relationship like already mentioned it's alot better sharing your happiness with someone else that's there for you and plus you don't have to work to get sex cause you both already enjoy it.

Now on the other hand I've been playing single for the past 5 months and I'm liking it, I love women and I love sex so I've been a man whore for a couple months now and it's intense! Just last night I met stripper at the strip club and she wants to get together next weekend, I'm totally down for that and I've already seen her naked and I want it lol so we're going to hangout next week. I meet so many woman at the bar or club and they're all amazing and have something to bring to the table. So I usually give them a call and we get together.

My resoultion this year is to meet as many women I can possible meet and try each one...I've been with 10 girls since december and they where all a blast, but there are those days that i wish i was still dating the girl I was dating before I went to iraq last march..its probably because we're still close friends

Every girl thinks they are weird, and that it's hard to find a guy who does. 😉

I usually find that girls who think this are wrong, and it's not because I'm weird as well (I'm not). It's because it's not true. Most of us aren't all that different, or not as different as you'd like to believe.

That's what one of my best friends said when we met for the first time and I told him I was weird. A few days later he agreed with me. 😀 But when I say I'm weird I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm just different and most guys can't deal with that. I don't mind though, I like weird guys too. 😉

Heh, I get the opposite reaction. My best friend thinks she is normal and calls me weird, a monkey, etc. Sigh, how much I love being around her..... 😱

That's because all the good ones are at the Prescott campus. 😀

BS. Prescott is a barren waste land. Why would women want to go to a waste land vs FL where there is the beach and biker week. 😛
 
i've been single for long periods of time. and i have had the long term relationships too. for me being in a relationship works better for me. it is different for everyone though. and i did enjoy being single for a short period of time. but it certainly was not a long stretch.

do whatever works for you now and dont let society's preconceptions weigh down on you.

Any sort of serious relationship has eluded me and I haven't really thought that much about trying to solve the issue(I am far lazier than I am lonely)



Awesome I do say, I have no idea what leek looks like, but I am sure they'd look cute together(and would give rude waiters some serious business).

Go check out the pics thread if you want to know what I look like. I bet you'll be surprised. Most people here expect me to be some skinny little homo. 😉 Not that there's anything wrong with skinny little homos. I like them a lot. 🙂

You don't have anything colder? 🙂
 
I'm single again for the first time in almost six years.

I find it odd more than anything, just because I'm not used to it.

I've been going on a lot, hanging with my buddies, and meeting new people. It's fun, but I don't prefer it to being in a relationship.

I'll probably be single for a while, but that's ok too. I kind of had a rebound fling for a few weeks with a girl, and that was a mistake. The girl started annoying me almost instantly, and I felt like crap when I told her I didn't want to date or anything. I felt guilty for hurting her feelings, so it's best if I just keep everything ultra casual for a while.

That said, if a special lady comes along, that's cool too.

You make it easier for Teh Straights™ to think they have a chance; one less good-lookin' stud to compete with! 😛
 
I'm only single because I always seem to befriend girls too quickly for them to have a romantic attachment, according to every girl I've asked out.

Can I say (really) Nice Guys Finish Last, at least this one time? 😛

When they're not dancing on it? 😉


Enjoy being single if you can. Just enjoy being whatever you are at the time.

No, because it's not true. 😉

Heh cept for those of us who have forfeited the competition🙂.

I guess I can get on board with that cuddling bit though, it makes a movie more enjoyable, but the ladies usually don't like it when you untangle to go play World in Conflict.

@leek - Wayyy too much effort, I got through 20 pages before I gave up, but I did find this picture of a robot that I am going to assume is you for no reason:

Edit: I wonder if this robot guy has trouble getting dates.
 
I HATE being single. I was single for about 6 months and thought I didn't hate it as everybody says is nice to have someone to take care of you. Sure you can have female friends that can take care of you but nothing like a girlfriend does. That hanging out with different girls is crap, at the end you are going to feel miserable because they are not worth it. I have almost 8 months with my girlfriend right now (went from a 2 yrs relationship to this one) and I can say I love every second of it. C'mon, you gotta love when your girlfriend buys you apparel or cooks you something you really like for no reason at all.

:apple: chuck-.

Because the kind of guys that go to Daytona don't pay attention to the women - they're too busy beating off to Top Gun in their dorm rooms. 😉
 
Technically single since my wife dumped me almost two years ago. Had a very short affair with an ex-girlfriend, but that's about that. No flirts, no funny evenings with nice girls, and generally life's been downhill from there. I tried to go out as often as possible for a while, but "things" just didn't happen, and nowadays most of the time I wonder, "Why have I come here anyway?", get to my car and drive home sad and depressed. I guess I am not made to enjoy a single's life. Being alone all of the time somehow takes away your emotional purpose and plants seeds of self-doubt into your soul, which are fed by the never-ending let-downs and low points I encounter all of the time. For the last 18 months, I felt like a ship without its anchor, drifting along the water without any real idea where I am going to.

Yes, I hate it.
 
Sorta newly single (since October). I do go through bouts where I hate it and can't imagine how I'll make it through another week. But it made me realize that I can stand on my own two feet and that I have incredible friends. For the moment anyway I'm trying to not worry about it (not only because I'm not interesting in dating, but also because I'm not yet ready for that) and just enjoy friends and family.

But I liked the robot man...


At any rate, on topic time, today was one of those bummer days when people seem intent to rub their relationships in your face(at least my day was). Days like this really make me pine for something, but it won't happen because unfortunately the person who seems most interested in me is my gay boss🙂.
 
My fav song of the song is
"All the Single Ladies...Put ya hands up!!!"

hehe I am a gay guy and I strangely feel no need to be in a relationship with anybody. I am too invested in myself right now to pay attention to anyone else.

Uh oh oh uh oh oh...

Well, the guy you saw me in those pics with in the pics thread (the cute blond) is my ex (we're still friends though). So don't feel bad about not being involved. I'm liking singleness right now.
 
ive got a different outlook to the majority of posters on here so far.

im 19, and ive been in my first and only relationship for nearly 2 years. it has been amazing. it has been life changing. its awaken me to a life i never knew could exist. i know its not for everybody, i had the same opinion of pretty much everyone else until i met my girl. she has changed my life and my outlook on it.

i can only hope that you single's can find somebody who can change your life as much as i have been changed, it is truly a wonderful feeling knowing that you are actually wanted in life, and that you are significant to somebody else....

meh i donno, thats what keeps me going each day.

find the right girl that you care about, then even the tiniest things will change you. emotions seem to roll out of you.

I much prefer being single than a heavy relationship. Something light and fun is fine, but I've done a long stint being tied down with somebody. I doubt I'll do it again.

I tend to agree with this. Though, I guess this could change if one meets the "right" person. Shrugs. For now I like being single 🙂.
 
Being single for your whole life and not bothered by it is ok, until you start being bothered about it and wanting someone. It just doesn't happen and you need to make the necessary moves to get anywhere in the first place.

I'm a 20 yr old male, 21 this July and am still waiting for the right *person* to come along.
