I miss the physical part a LOT right now. Not sex(virgin here), but holding someone's hand, cuddling a LOT, just pulling them in tight and breathing them in and instantly being calmed down. I can remember that like it was yesterday. But making out and all of that good stuff too.

I miss having like...a dependable, go-to friend. Most of my friends don't MAKE time to hang out with me. But a boyfriend would. And I miss that.

I miss laughing, kissing, hugging, and loving.

I'm newly single and not dealing with it very well. LOL. The relationship ended for good reasons, but now I'm just lonely. :/ I lost my best friend and my boyfriend. I'm pathetic. XD LOL
I like doing all those things too.

The sex, obviously. I really really like sex.
The snuggling.
Having a person who was my refuge and being the same for them when the outside world gets to be too much.

Other than that, I pretty much can make do in life. I mean, there's a lot more good stuff to a relationship than those things, but have a lot of great people in my life and have always bumped along ok by myself.

I miss having someone who knows my story, knows what I did today and who genuinely wants to know about how it went. I also miss knowing the same about someone..

Just typing out loud here..

If you're single, what do you miss most?
Waking up in the morning and they're right next to you, and they have this sleepy smell that's mixing with the fabric softener from the sheets. Nice.

I do miss all the good parts, though

Youre kidding right, he didn't do that??!!

Id stand beside you and hold you tightly, kiss you on the forehead to let you know, happy to be with you. He is one dumb dude....

And my favorite thing of all...random kisses on your temple/head/cheek for no real reason other than they want to.
Wow, things things made me realize some of what I have been missing but didnt know it. Guess it has been awhile since I've had those, and I have had two somewhat serious relationships without the above.
Good stuff.

I would add doing those things that most people wouldn't be interested in, but since you love each other, you will you sit through something you aren't 100% into.
Like for me, i am not into musicals, but seeing the smile of the other person when they realize they ge to see something they really enjoy that most people wont share with them.

Oh, and lazy sunday afternoons on the couch watching football. Then your team scores, and you pump your fist in celebration, but not so much as to wake her up.....

those intimate moments

the cuddling, lying naked in bed afterwards (or after nothing/less) just talking, having someone to squeeze, smile at, tell her how pretty she is, kiss her on her face all over, having hair to stick my face in, biting her arms/shoulders, and having someone to squeeze when I sleep

UGHHHH!!! I LOVE THAT!

Ahh yeah. I miss that and someone to do things with (companionship) and someone to touch and have sex with.

Sex.
Someone that can cook better than me.
Sex.
Someone to talk to when you're feeling down.
Sex.
Someone to go do "couples" things with.
SEX.

You can't make yourself have a romantic relationship. You gotta get a second person to cooperate.
So I don't think those 'wish I were single' people really wish that. Or they would do it.
Sometimes you can't make yourself single depending on cirumstances especially with kid(s). Some people can't afford a divorce.
