I've been single for just over a year. I'm still getting used to it. In fact, the other day, I (again) said, "We" when talking to a co-worker about my weekend. There is no "we". There is no "I" in "we".
* sigh *. It's an adjustment, that's for sure.
There are trade-offs being with someone vs being alone. I can't say at this point that I LIKE being alone. It's okay, but it has to be cuz I don't have much choice. LOL
I'll just say that I accept that this is the way my life will be from now on. If a man comes into my life, that would be a welcome and pleasant surprise.

I've also caught myself almost walking through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Um . . . That's how our apt was set up, but not how it is now. Good grief! Old habits die hard, as the saying goes.
I like not having to think of how or when I do something will affect another person or their day. However, I like thinking of another person. I like caring and loving another person and having him on my mind. I like sharing my space. At this point, I'm just wishy-washy. I don't know what I want. LOL

You're not wishy washy. You know what you want, but you don't know who will come into your life to fulfill it. That's me too. I can be single, but I long for someone to share my day with and other things.
For most of us, we are accepting single, because it's the only option we have. Just jumping into any type of relationship is not our cup of tea.
This. Being single sucks when you can't do a damned thing about it. It amazes me when some people just say "Oh, I think I'll just jump back into dating." HTF does that even work.
People who say that probably don't vest much of themselves in relationships, emotionally -- that's how it works.
I don't like being single, but it's my lot in life until I heal from this last break-up. I don't know when that will be, but whenever it is, I won't "jump" into anything. I will take it slow and steady ...

Exactly. I'm not very picky, but I know what I'm attracted to, what I can get, my own worth, and what type of relationship I want. I could easily date any joe-smoe and act like I'm happy with him, but at this point in my life, it's not what I want. I want a relationship that is what I want, and if I can't have it, or come close to it, I'd rather be single. So in that sense, Im happy being single, rather than being in a relationship that isn't what I want. But, on the other hand, there are times where I envy those who've met their "match", or who have the right partner.
I'm okay being single, because truthfully I have a lot going on, and don't really have the time to give toward a relationship in the way I'd want. So with that said, I don't necessarily love being single, but I'm okay with it, and don't feel like my life is horrid because I don't have a man.
Most men and women want to feel the true happiness that maybe they experienced from their parents or close friends. The relationship that still has it's ups and downs, but they are crazy about each other in a healthy way. When you have a relationship like that, you feel like you're on top of the world.
The dating process doesn't always make you feel like you're on top of the world, so when you finally meet that special person, it's a bit of a relief.
