Single and in debt.

Hi there

Hope you don't mind me posting here. I only found this thread tonight while lurking on the DFW board. What a great, supportive bunch of people you are. I have only read 20 of the 29 pages so far but felt the need to say :T :T :T .

I have tried to write this post about 20 times and keep changing it. I live on my own and I love it. Still, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like someone to be close to. I just think that I'm asking for too much - I would like to have someone in my life but not to live with me - at least not for a few years yet! Once my children have left home (which will be far too soon for my liking!) I wouldn't have a problem but right now, they come first.

Oooh, I'm sorry that this seems like a pointless post. It helps to know that there are other "singletons" out there.

not pointless at all, we're all different - that's good, life would be very dull otherwise. I'd prefer someone to see but not live with too because of my son so I can see your point.

Me as well so I can see your point.
I think in a way you get used to doing things your own way & coping on your own.

I think you do get used to it and end up doing it a lot of the time without even thinking about it. I worry that I will become too set in my ways! I do want to be with someone but have accidentally become very independent along the way, I worry that I will keep pushing someone away because I can't quite accept that they will want to be with me or that I am so independent that it looks like I don't need someone, when I do. Or rather I want, not exactly need, someone. I know I can manage alone, but it's boring really sometimes.

Am doing my Starbucks challenge tomorrow, am a bit nervous, but have promised myself a cake as well, so it's not all bad! I am determined to get out of my comfort zone.

Have fun sarah :T

Sarah - i know what you mean - moved out of home when i went to uni - so so so many years back and got use to having to look after myself - i know my family are there but they're too far away for general stuff. I find it hard to accept help when someone offers it - feel like i'm imposing or something

Not pointless at all and I know totally what you mean. I have often thought it would be nicer arranging to do things together, keeping that bit of romance going

Has anyone seen that advert on TV, cant remember what it was for, but that woman is in the bath all candles and book relaxing then her man comes in with his newspaper, turns on the light and sits on the toilet! As much as it makes me chuckle, it also makes me love my own space a bit :rotfl:
