Single life. Anyone want to discuss?

[loveyoutothemoon]

Just that really!

Can be lonely

But atleast there are no arguments

afreshstartplease I'm taking it you're single? Do you have plenty of friends you can socialise with?
I've become very fussy since parting with my husband nearly 3 years ago. Had lots of dates and a few relationships. Doesn't seem to be anyone suitable. I'm very comfortable on my own!

I'm with you love (laughing at how that sounds)

I would like someone to walk with, have sex with, talk to, that wasn't just anybody. Having said that I have loads of friends to do everything but the sex thing and am should I could get that need filled if I wasn't fussy.

Yes sex isn't an issue. That's easy to find. Thing is when I have my free time, I'd rather just slob on my own. So many bad experiences have put me off even bothering. They say there's someone for everyone but I'm finding that hard to believe.

Yes, the sharing part of coupledom is what I miss. I am definitely getting more particular about who I want to spend my time with tho'. I have a number of different groups of friends, but the joint decisions, sex, discussions about family, future etc is missing.

Coming home in the evening after a night out is a lonely time. I'm older and there seems to be more and more older single people around.

I have friends

But not much time for them tbh

Single parent to 3dc and I work full time

I agree with you too. I have a few single friends who I go to the cinema/ out for meals with etc.

I don't need the hassle or arguments. My past partners have all been vile and abusive, and I'm much happier alone.

I know loads of single women who think being single is better than being in any relationship just to be in one. I don't know any single men.

I have opportunities to go out with friends and I do sometimes. I'm lucky there.
afreshstartplease does their father have time with them?
I've been on dating sites for so long. I feel like I just want a relationship with someone I know the history of. The thought of getting to know someone, just can't be bothered, that's bad isn't it?!
I'd like to meet someone in the supermarket!

I have been single for 17 years and had sex once in the last 14. Mine is a choice though - I decided back then that the single life was for me and I wouldn't change that for the world. I don't have friends in RL but I have a lot of online friends.

I've been technically single for 20 years and I'd be very reluctant to give it up. Life's generally good, occasionally challenging, but always on my terms. I have interesting work, a great home life, lovely friends, various lovers and even managed to produce a DS somewhere along the way. I'm not sure what a permanent partner would add to the party.

I divorced last week
We had such separate lives, adjusting to being single won't be difficult.
I also enjoy my own company.
Have booked lots of theatre trips, meet ups with friends and a holiday.

I've been single for many years. I have an amicable co-parent relationship with my DS' father (who was an old drinking mate when DS was concieved) but absolutely no interest in any kind of couple-relationship. I like to be by myself and do what I want - the fact that I am on good terms with DS dad and can arrange with him to look after DS when I want to go out means I don't miss out on a social life.

Single 6 years and wouldn't have it any other way. For various reasons I made the decision to stay single when I became a LP. I'm very content and prefer spending my Saturday night snuggled up on the sofa watching a movie with ds than out on a crap date.
Even If I did want to be a relationship I couldn't see it happening. I work and study and weekends are the only time I get to spend any quality time with ds. I'm not willing to give that up for anyone.
