I need inordinate amounts of time alone.
I find i enjoy alot of time alone, but, still have the need for community with other Singles. Thats why a couple of large local Church Singles Ministries fit the bill for me --- its a great balance.

What I miss:
the hugs, kisses and the playful teasing and horsing around.

What I'm missing out on:

being with a man who was chronically ambivalent and unsure about our relationship's future.

What's been gained in my single again status:
peace, contentment and a strong resolution to only love those who love me back.

I think we can have 'a' love for all if not most people...but a deep emotionally intimate love which comes thru trusting disclosure is certainly reserved for those who are willing to love us back unconditionally. I still believe in the sanctity of marriage, but , I think most marrieds should have just remained good friends and not gotton married .. as evidenced by the high divorce rate. Getting married is a risky proposition today and few can honestly say they have a great workable marriage and would do it all over again.

I miss the cats. My last girlfriend had tons of them...ok 5, but I think they invited friends over, because I swear it seemed like there were 20+

I wouldn't do anything with organized religion if my life depended on it.
I have all the company I want when I want it; it's my choice.

What an odd place you found to say hi. That said...

Hi Kennedy!

I enjoy being single, but I guess the only thing I miss is having someone to share the beautiful sunsets/movies/romantic nights/walks. There are times when I think, "This would be so much more special if I had someone by my side to share it with." Also, the butterflies and feeling you get in your chest when you think of that person you really like. I haven't felt that in a while!

I live a crazy, somewhat dangerous life which most women would have little interest in. I definitely miss being in a relationship, though. Things I miss:

1. Holding her in my arms
2. Someone to laugh with and share those special moments.
3. The scent of her hair
4. Spooning and just plain cuddling.
5. Knowing that I can rely on her through our most challenging moments.
6. Making love with someone I love, rather than just a one nighter.

I had a bad breakup with my last ex and we were together for 7 years. I remember the first week of waking up alone and just how hellish it was. Now for the most part, I am used to being single but not always liking it. I am absolutely following my heart at the moment and love what i am doing, so a relationship will have to wait.
