I've been single for a while and am pretty happy about it for the most part. I really have no motivation to get into a relationship at the moment. But I was at a Birthday party/dance this weekend and I won't lie if I had to pick something about being single that I really hate, It's that I don't slow dance. I love to dance and slow dance every chance I get. And I hate the fact that I have nobody to dance with. So even if you are totally content being single. What's something you hate about it? Everybody has at least 1.
Being single has its plus points. Like getting to watch what youwant on the TV while eating what you wanted to cook for your dinner. Buuuuut getting left out while your friends enjoy going out with other couples and having no one to hold on to in those difficult times in life can make it hard sometimes.
Not having somebody to connect with on a level that is both emotional and romantic. I wish I had a special person where just thinking about them would make me smile - in that way.
The only thing I hate is the feeling of romance. I am very close to my best friend and we do share a lot. But it doesn't compare to the feeling of being wanted, feeling like you're the most special person in their life, being kissed and cuddled, and wanting to share a life with them. Otherwise, being single rocks.
Pretty much the same as everyone else. Mainly having someone to cuddle with in the evenings and having someone to snuggle in bed with.
The thought of having to open yourself to another person all over again, dating, and building trust with someone. Plus not having someone to occupy your time with cuddles, pointless conversation, and anime.
Having someone to depend on. Though I'll be honest, I don't really have much experience with such things so I don't exactly know what I'm missing.
I hate the way people react. When people find out I'm single, I get asked "Why?" a lot. It's annoying.
I hate being left out. Granted this happens with or without relationships involved. I have no friends. JK I have friends. (Just not many)
My Grandparents nag me about everything not realising that tbh I don't want a boyfriend for now. I would kind of prefer a girl for now and my grandparents are Homophobic twats.
some times, when you'd just like some one to go to the movies or out to dinner with, rather than on your own ,and also its hard when you live on your own to move furniture around or change light globes!
Oh yes: feeling judged sucks. Everyone in my family in my father's side are in relationships, except for my grandmother (her husband died in July). I feel like they think I am pathetic and couldn't attract someone. Of course, I am not pathetic at all and if I wanted to date someone, I could easily find someone through online dating. I'm fairly young, fairly good-looking and know how to flirt. I don't miss sex at all, with men or women.
Yeah just not being able to connect with someone, to have someone to tell all your problems to. Like while I love having this site to express what's going on and have feedback, having a real person there would make it all the better
Mostly I'm happy being single, but I think like others have said the judgement of people who are confused or pressure you on it when you tell them you're single, is not that nice. A lot of people assume that you definitely want to be in a relationship and if you aren't, that you're actively searching for one, which isn't always true. I don't really care if people think less of me if I'm single rather than in a relationship though, because I don't think relationships should be rushed into just for the sake of being in one - but the judgement sometimes doesn't feel that great either nonetheless. I guess it would be nice to have someone to be more involved with in the dating sense, but that doesn't mean I can't have equally important friendships and connections with people just because I'm not romantically involved with someone of course. It sometimes sucks that you don't have that one person in your life where there is a lot of mutual romantic love and care, along with the cuddles or the dates and all, I can see that though. Maybe sex with someone you love (rather than hook ups or whatever, which are fine as well) is a thing that sucks about being single, but honestly I'm just not that interested in sex at the moment so it's not really as big of a factor for me.
