I read alot about women who are alone and want to be in relationships, I was alone fro quite sometime before my domestic relationship that I am now in. A year to be exact.
Alone on a saturday night? That's cool. Why? You say? Because you're choosing to stay in for the night, re-charge your batteries, watch some movies, do something for you, whatever it is YOU like to do, and think of the money your saving...write in your journal, email a friend you've been neglecting...get up early, go to church, take a walk, have brunch with your mom...
The point I'm trying to get across is to KNOW yourself, concentrate on you and your surroundings. Get your life in order so when you do meet the right one, you can concentrate on the relationship.
Anybody else have some reasons why its GOOD to be alone?

Good post.
I chose to be alone for a while for the simple reason that I did not know how to be a good friend and knew it. It was better to just stop contact to avoid burning bridges because of my bad manners and attitude. Once I figured out what I was doing wrong, I went back to the social "scene". Now I have incredible friends but maybe because I know how to be a great friend.
For short term loneliness, I like to read, think, create, exercise and reflect. Oh, yes, and write those thank you letters.
That's great and all, but I don't like to be alone.
After knowing what it feels like to have someone there with you to share some common interests, and do other things, it really helps me get through bad times. Hell, just having that special someone sleeping in the same bed as I helped me sleep at night.
Not having to consult or compromise on making decisions--big or small. You just get to decide and do it.
THIS! I like not having to account for my time to anyone. I want to go out of town for a night or two - I go. I want to plan a trip with my son - I do it. I want to stay home and be a slug for the entire weekend...I can. Life is much less complicated with no significant other...that is for sure.

Exactly! It's so nice to be able to do what I want, when I want.
Traveling with someone else can be a real challenge.
I'm currently trying to plan a long weekend trip with a girl friend of mine and she's driving me up a freakin' wall. At least when I was dating my last boyfriend I could just plan everything and he didn't complain. As long as he got what he wanted out of the trip he didn't care what sights we saw Still, I have a much more relaxing time on vacations when I go alone.
