That's pretty depressing.

Now I feel bad for my response.

That sounds like a guy that I dated...was hilarious...we held hands at the movies it was cute but I didn't feel like I wanted to make sweet sweat dripping love to him either.....

I agree with this. Because I'm a very introspective person, I mean someone who examines my life situation a lot and thinks about the world around me, I started thinking about all of the times I felt like it'd be cool to have a girlfriend or whatever. In every case, it was a moment of weakness. I never felt I wanted or needed a girlfriend when I was doing well with my career or with school or life in general. I was happy enough in what I was doing I didn't even think about it. So that led me to believe that after a while, I would use this information in a new way, if I ever felt like I wanted a girlfriend, I knew something else was going wrong, so I'd know to try to figure out what and fix it

I think the more you are single, the stronger you are, the more able you are to handle any problems that come your way on your own, and that trains you to be prepared for anything. Overall, I think people who cling on to others for support end up becoming unable to handle problems themselves.

I'm single because I choose to be. I used to think that I wanted a boyfriend but now I know that I just like the feeling of being free. NO having to stress about getting my boyfriend a present for his birthday, etc, not having to worry about if he is with some other chick. I'm happy by myself.
