This is an interesting thread, though I seldom do more than observe this forum.
I, also, am a loner. I have a good job with cool co-workers, and live right on the compound for work, but when social events happen, I usually bow out...and I absolutely HATE it when people "drop by" my place un-announced or un-planned. I am pretty darn comfortable on my own, and have learned to do lots of things by myself (fish, hunt, drive my skiff, etc.).
I must say, as I get a bit older (31 now) I do have some moments of lonlieness. But if I were to meet someone now, how difficult would it be to adjust to sharing space/time/always having that someone else around?? Anyone been through that? It's a little scary. I'm eligible enough that I believe I could still find the right person but I don't want to be so inflexible and set in my ways by the time I meet him that I drive him away!
I don't know what my title would be, maybe, Comfortable. I was a late in life baby and my father was a travelling sales rep, gone Mon thru Fri. so it was just my mom and I most of the time. She is the rock in my life. I can occupy myself in many ways, reading, needlework, cross stitch, crochet, computer, tv or just the quiet. I was raised to be able to occupy myself without needing others to entertain me, this is generally not the norm now a days. Most people need the interaction and stimulation of others.
I worked in Atlanta for many years and after battling the traffic and the attitudes of my co workers and others for that long, I crave solitude. I used to walk a park near my house and sit on the bank of a large creek, until the kayakers found it then the noise was there too.
I moved to Charlotte, live in a small quiet suburb, in a small apartment with 2 cats, have a nice patio overlooking a pond and creek and it peaceful. My friends pick at me about the quiet.....
When I want to, I am very social, life of the party, but when I'm alone, I enjoy the peace.
Guess this sounds like a personals ad, but its my life.......

Good for you! You sound a lot like me. I am always busy doing something. I don't know why people get bored if they are not around people. When I was a teenager was the only time I really wanted to party!
I have friends who think I'm nuts for doing so much by myself, going on cruises, road trips, etc. Am I expected to just sit at home because I'm single?
I also have well-meaning friends who want to fix me up with any single guy they know. Heck, he's single, I'm single, what more do we need? The fact that their single guy acquaintance is short, old, fat, bald, and works at Walmart doesn't seem to matter to them. If we're both single, that's all that counts apparantly.
Many of my friends are in less than happy marriages but to them, my single status is worse. Personally, I'd rather be single than married to a guy who spends more time with his baseball buddies than me, and doesn't help out around the house, or pay me any attention except when he wants sex. At least I get to do what I want, when I want.
I do hope to find someone special someday, but he's going to have to fit into my life without having to change who I am to fit his ideals. I wouldn't try to change someone so I expect the same consideration in return. I'm pretty easy going, but I just won't put up with being treated like cr*p for the sake of being married.
I travel alone too and love it. I am not tied down to anyone and can do what I want. I still chat with people, but I don't have to be with them. Traveling alone is so much fun. People think I am crazy too, especially men. I don't care.
