If you are single....

MissMoriarty

I am currently single - after two long term relationships.

The first was simply desperate to have children - I was 20 - and I wasn't ready for that. Towards the end of the relationship I resented him for trying to force things that I didn't want... Very unhappy relationship.

The second was everything I could ever wish for... Except being a serial liar. He was 20 years my senior...but by far my deepest love.

Im not even 30 yet, have a good job, independence, not a complete ogre, good education and I'm pretty normal. (Lol)

I simply long for cuddles at night, socialising with somebody I love and care about... And most of all I long for company! I just feel like I'm too picky and probably don't go to enough places to necessarily meet new people!

I'm not currently single but when i was i absolutely hated it. I felt terribly isolated and lonely and i really did dislike my life.

Now i've been with my current missus 10 years and gradually i feel more and more lonely again. She's had some negative effects on my life and when it comes to where we're going in life, it's always her wishes over mine. She's not keen on me having friends, hates me talking to other women and has accused me of affairs previously too. So there you go.. even being spoken for can make you feel incredibly isolated! But that said, she has done good for me too and despite some hard times over the last year between us we've made it past 10 years so we must be getting something right somehow..

As for being single again, i wouldn't have any problems being in another relationship and living with someone but I couldn't get involved with someone on a casual basis as I like company. I've spent most of my life feeling isolated from people and it's horrible.

I'm sure she's charmed :eek:

As Queen Whits once sang: I'd rather be alone than un-happ-ee (uhh)

If you want to meet someone then age shouldn't matter.

I was single from 28 but shared a flat with my BF. I met my current partner when I was 44 and he was 48. Still going strong, 20 years next year!

In my life I've mostly been in relationships, with some brief periods of casual dating.
My fairly long marriage ended in early 2011 & that same year (end) I met someone who became very serious very quickly.
We started living together in 2012, we broke up in mid 2013, but started dating again (while living apart), that ended in 2014 (early) & I've been single the past year.
I miss him, I've never wasted a year missing anyone!!!!!
I'm late 40s, my daughter tells me I've not got time on my side & I need to think about dating again!!
I think the good ones are probably all taken anyway.
I must admit I'm pretty fussy now & I'm not up for "settling" with anyone - Id rather be alone.

I have been single for almost 8 years now. When I dumped my ex, I was living with my parents for around 2.5 years whilst to establish myself again and flat on market - sold, contracts exchanged in a little over 5 months.

The property I bought, the contents is all about me. There is no room for another person's clothes etc. I can watch what I want on the tv, eat what I want, slob around the place as I please etc. Having someone sharing my flat will be a nightmare.

The things I miss about being single are as I finish work some nights at 8:30pm, I don't come home to a hot meal cooked by someone else who either finished work earlier or had the day off, cuddles and two man jobs which I ask my Dad or a friend's DH to do

Do you have to be so unpleasant to people? appears you spend quite a bit of time on here as well. Look at the threads with Derek's holiday pics and you will find out he does not spend all his time on here.

I am not single but I am very very anti social!

Funny how the people with 20/30/40000 posts all stick together

more interested in getting there totals up and badges than things going on in real life

I've been single for some time now & while i don't mind being single there are times when i would like to be in a relationship.
It's gets a bit lonely at times doing everything on your own & it would be nice to share those moments with someone else .
I also find it worse at certain times of the year, ie Xmas & NY - obviously Valentines coming up next week puts it in your head as it seems to be everywhere.

Maybe i could meet someone if if could find the zip to this damn invisibility cloak :rotfl:.

I'll expand on my previous post. What I miss is being with someone who only has eyes for me. Being someone's entire focus. Being the only thing that matters to someone.

Those ^^^^ posts sum it all up! really!

Love the idea of the invisibility cloak! :T Brilliant!

Many people will be in relationships and still feel very lonely.
