Well duh! It's "Cuddling/cuffing" season! All the couples are starting to come out b/c the sunshine is starting to fade by the day! It's getting closer to the holidays! Everywhere you go, there are couples hand in hand, showing affection to eachother and/or representing this thing we all either have OR wish we had: Love! Of course it's contagious when we see companionship/love all around us!

Being single has its perks & so does being in a relationship. It's never good to want to be in a relationship just for the sake of being in 1. Some people only want to be "taken" b/c they are obsessed with the idea of telling their friends, "Look guys, I'm taken!"

There's nothing wrong with wanting companionship. Love is a beautiful thing, especially if you meet the RIGHT person at the RIGHT time for all of the RIGHT reasons!

Oh yeah. I'm getting sick of dating, but I'm sick of being single, too. I'd like to have a nice relationship; and for some reason, I've been feeling this way more so now than in the previous couple of months. I think I'm just really disappointed by how my latest interactions have been turning out, and I could use the cuddles, conversation, and companionship. Hehe, 3 c's.

Hehehehe^^^^^^^, I feel you PandoraBox!!!!!!!

I actually love being single. Although, when I am in a relationship, I am often looking for the one that I will stay with the rest of my life. Unfortunately it hasn't happened, I've just had bad experiences like most of you too.

The thing is that I am way to serious, I don't play games, but many people love to play with love. I am not for that, so, I rather focused on me only. If the one will ever come too me, lovely, if not, no problem either. I love the harmony that wraps me when I am in solitude, and I am a loner right now! Now, ever since being single and abstinent from romance, I am at my best.

I have learned that, if the love for yourself starts to really manifest within your soul, then you will realize that you will not need another person to full fill you to make you feel complete. You just have to learn to master this, it's a complicated method to apply to oneself, but it's possible. I am seeing it in myself and I am happy for this personal achievement. it feels great, you have my word on that!

If you hate being single and then all of a sudden you love it, then logically, your desires are still longing to another person to full fill your void. But this void, you created it yourself in your own unconscious. Why, because you are automatically used to have a second person or lover to feel alive or happy. This is really a limitation that your creating in your mind though, since obviously the mind is capable to be unlimited, thus, you can create other principles. Your own principles. I know this might be hard to comprehend though, since the humans have had this principle,the law of love, has a human having to be with another to mate, therefore, when mating to have a procreate children, supposedly on this process, the two humans fall in love, and from there, the couple and their children stay together to form a family. This ideal has being followed for centuries and centuries. Yes, it has to be natural to want to be with another person, love them and create a family with them, yeah, I want that too,but have any of you ever thought about going beyond this principles limitation? If you know what I mean. hehehe, I hope I don't sound confusing. This is just my way of thinking



Oh, I absolutely understand what you mean. I think many of us who posted here are quite content with being singl

single and loving ourselves just as well as loving others. I know with myself that I'm very capable when I'm single, and even with my moments of self-doubt, I know I'm a catch. And like krysrenee said, there shouldn't be anything wrong with wanting companionship either. It's only if you feel that you are never happy when you're single that you need to reevaluate what makes you happy and how to make yourself happy. We indeed have this built in desire to be with other people; we're SUPPOSED to be with other people, because that's what we are. But that isn't saying being single is wrong, and that also isn't saying that there should be anything else or that we need to go against our desires for companionship to build independence (now I hope all of this is making sense lol).

As of right now, I've just been focusing on nothing but myself, my academics, and trying to have a good time. But after doing that for so long, I wouldn't mind having someone else around. Often, I think the reason why I want a significant other is because it's exciting. I just really enjoy interacting with others and getting closer to people. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at my best when I'm around people I build close ties too. And after extended periods of catering to myself and making myself better (or trying to), it'd be nice to feel intimacy again (I do get that from my friends, but even then, you kind of want a more intimate interaction).

You are a catch, Candeh!

"Cuddles, conversation and companionship!"

I believe that is what we are all searching for, male and female alike.

It's just a question of how many incompatible people we have to be with before we finally find someone who appreciates such things.

Know what I mean?

Ya know, I have a pretty nice guy in my life right now. We're not labeled as bf/gf and there hasn't been talk about commitment. Why? Because he knows me well enough not to bring it up.
I LIKE him, allot. And he likes me just as much if not more.
BUTTTT butt but buttttt..... I just CaN't settle! It's funny, not a single one of my friends are single. And I get all fuzzy and warm with the idea of having that love and romance and having someone at arms reach but... :/
Sometimes I feel like there will never be that one guy who makes me say "he's it, he's the only one I'm going to focus on." Can I help it? Grrr I love meeting knew guys. The guy I mentioned earlier, he has some pretty cute brothers 😉 but I've already decided they're off limits.

Maybe there's a part of me that expects too much? I don't know. Where ever that part is it ain't in my head or I'd know it. I think.

And it ain't in my pants either or I'd know that without douth lol.

It's just the whole having fun and loving MYself. Like on a random day I see a cute guy and I want to flirt without guilt. It's just the fun in the flirting and talking and imagining. But never calling them. Yea, I'm that type, I just enjoy the momment but never take it far. Maybe a hug. But no further.

^Youre the bad kind of sag^ well you're still only like 18 or 19 anyway so you probably are in the middle of your "I need plenty of attention from as many different guys as possible" type of phase 🙂



Yea haha I was wonder that myself. I think it's the freedom I want to enjoy now that I'm old enough to make my own rules. Boys come and go, but I'm stuck with myself 😉

But it the future I want healthy, stable relationships 🙂 one day
