Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I like being able to do what I want, when I want, which whom I want but also miss someone to cuddle up to on cold long winter nights or cook a nice meal for. My married friends envy my freedom and I envy their lives, probably a case of the grass is always greener! You can't have it all ways
Wise words, Musley, even if I feared at one point that you were about to break into The Soupdragons!
Single is good because it gives you lots options.
Single does not mean alone. It means not committed to a relationship.
This is what people fail to understand. They picture some miserable soul, lock away inside, with nobody to 'love' and nothing going for them.
They fail to realize that you can do whatever you want with whomever you want, still the companionship, friendship, romantic relations, but just not be 'locked in' to any one person.
It's just absolute freedom. The best of both worlds. I don't see why people perceive it the way they seem to and place such importance on labels such as 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend'. Why can't you just see someone (or multiple someones) without a fancy title and be happy?
Likewise, it is just as possible to absolutely free, yet still be attached to another (girlfriend / boyfriend / wife / husband etc), whether that be on an emotional / physical / mental level.
Right now I can't concentrate in romantic thoughts about another person. I feel liberated now that I'm not in love with anybody I wish it was like that all my life but there's always somebody that changes that.
