| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/21/2005 5:16:01 AM | | I am too good and too loving for girls my age. Any cute 20 year old women out there? Why do I have to be such a gentleman? Kids in their 20's aren't supposed to do that these days...hehe | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/22/2005 2:50:53 AM | | And I thought I was crazy for sleeping on the couch! Ouch...........my own thoughts hurt me. | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/22/2005 11:38:39 AM | The only time I sleep on the couch, is if I fall asleep watching something boring on t.v.! LOL
A big ole bed is really not THAT bad...especially with LOTS of big pillows!! And some comforting lighting. (I have a red bulb in a lamp that is soooo relaxing!) We should grasp our lone time as an educational one...a time to discover more about YOURSELF. :) | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/22/2005 12:42:34 PM | Alright.. after reading through what - 5 pages? Here goes my 2 cents...
I went back to sleeping on the couch, and its funny - I actually prefer it. The only time I sleep in my bed is when I have company over and even at that most times I'll get up in the middle of the night to move to the couch.
Its not because Im lonely or don't like sharing my space, but because its taking the shape of my ass and has become quite comfortable - plus I have cable on that tv. I also find I don't move around as much when Im sleeping and don't wake up stiff and sore.
Then again, I could be in denial :) | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/22/2005 12:48:23 PM | I agree with you Dasie.
When it comes to sleeping, it is best done alone. My bed is MY BED when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. - that is, if we are not talking extracurricular activities (LOL), then I would reconsider sharing for a short while. | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 10:49:39 AM | | I miss it like crazy. My ex was one of those people that said he felt smothered and always moved away from me. It made me feel bad. I often thought that if he really loved me he'd love laying beside me. Gee......ad now we're not together...go figure. | |

Um holy crap I agree simmah...Hey ANDNOWTHEFALL....your mom and dad still married? How old's your dad? Did you take after him? Can you get him to log on and create a profile? Or would you be interested in letting some older women show you what Ronnie McDowell meant? haha Kidding :)
antf:Ronnie Mcdowell is an older singer guy who wrote a song called "Older Women Are Beautiful Lovers" just so ya know hehe...hate to use a reference that would be too old for ya. Now about your dad..... | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 11:49:18 AM | I also hate sleeping alone,to me there is no better feeling then falling asleep cuddling and spooning with someone you care about. My first wife who I was with for 19 years hated it,she did not like any type of affection,took me years to meet someone who showed me what I was missing,and now that I know how good it is,I miss it even more now. | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 12:25:32 PM | This has been a very entertaining thread. I've laughed, I've almost cried. So many souls out there sharing a common feeling. Why is is that the nights are always the worst? Once I got over the shock of being dumped - we were on the verge of buying a new house together and moving to a new town - I found a way to get through the days without too much trouble - but oh those lonely nights.
Hugs to everyone who posted here - we all need the human touch - and quite often according to researchers - but the cyber kind will have to suffice here. | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 12:39:08 PM | | Just knew it was a bad idea to read this thread .............. I have been sleeping alone for the vast majority of the past 15 years, so you would think that I would be used to it by now!!............... NO DARNIT, truth is I hate sleeping alone, always will I guess | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 12:53:54 PM | HATES SLEEPING ALONE BUT ALTERNATIVE IS SLEEPING WITH ANYONE. Just get a great ole big teddy bear or body pillow to snuggle with -------- it helps.. Smile | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 1:43:14 PM | | These are the days when I miss my old beat up Red Baron Snoopy. :( | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 1:52:01 PM | | Get a booty buddy...! No more,no less, someone you trust and who trusts you. Don't make it complicated. Follow the "KISS" protocol and ensure the understanding is mutual. When a potential partner comes along, booty call is over and no-one gets hurt. Who can you trust more than a friend. | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 4:13:09 PM | i have been sleeping alone now since i was 22 n i dont know what to do or how get some 1 i guess bye the way hi room the name nick | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 5:34:40 PM | | Hi nick, sorry to hear you are in the same couchboat as the rest of us....just for the record, we are not supposed to 'chat' on these forums, but have fun posting! | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 7:59:44 PM |
Get a booty buddy...!
To each his or her own...but I think the majority of peeps who responded to this thread, concur that it is not about the SEX...it's about the COMFORT and FAMILIARITY.
I definitely would not accept a FWB situation....ewwww....like to keep my friendships and my sex completely seperate! | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/23/2005 11:40:35 PM | It's a double edged sword with me. Cause when my ex's stayed with me, I liked it, but also sometimes I had trouble sleeping cause they either snored loud, or had bad breath while sleeping and breath it in my face. And also I like sleeping alone cause I have nothing to bother me, it may annoy me if someone's sleeping with me sometimes, but I'd never say no to it. | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/24/2005 5:19:46 AM | actually, my dad is the opposite of me. I swore I'd never be like the pig.
on a lighter note though. I went back to my home town to hang out with my friends and this girl I knew from years and years ago invited me to this big party. I asked to sleep on her couch and she said yeah. We stayed up untill 8 in the morning listening to everclear and bright eyes and talking about everything. Then she said "you know I have a big bed..." Mind you I was really drunk of the alcohol everclear and pabst. And I said "yeah that is a big bed." She said, "......plus its really cold in here without the heat on" And I said "true". So she threw me and the bed and and put her head on my chest and fell asleep. I didn't want to fall asleep because I was enjoying it all. Just sleeping.
The weird part was that we both just wanted to fall asleep with someone we could trust. somewhere between a broken car windshield, many old faces at a keg party, sluring singing for 6 hours to cds of bands not many people truely understand, and getting some curl up time it became the best day of my life.
Hehe, I didn't even kiss her....What is wrong with me dr? | |

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/24/2005 7:31:32 AM | Sleeping alone…some like it…some don’t. A few good suggestions were posted for you…get your self and really nice bed…the best sheets you can buy…a body pillow, nice quilt…more pillows…and / or a pet or the cutest teddy bear you ever seen in your life.
And when you find “Mr. Sandman” to spend the nights with you…he will enjoy your bed too! I much more prefer to wake up with the feel of a man’s skin next to me! Go slow keep “Mr. Sandman” for the weekends, Monday to Thursday…”Absents makes the heart grow fonder”.

| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/24/2005 8:14:03 AM | | Yeah this is a bloody hard thing to deal with, but u cant let it rule ur life. i hate being alone in bed, i yearn to snuggle up to someone and share the closeness. i truly hope that the guy i chat to for hours on end into the early hours, each day, is the one i will be able to snuggle up with someday soon, (and u know who u r. D***a) hehe. this is probably why i dont dwell on the lonely nights, we talk for so long, i go to sleep thinking about him anyway!! pillows etc wont work, its just something u have to deal with as best as u can, till ur snuggle bunny finds u. Hugs all round for everyone missing em. | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/29/2005 12:51:37 PM | | The way I deal with it is to cuddle a blanket and stuffed animal my daughter gave me (she doesnt live with me). any ladies willing to offer me something better apply here :D | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/29/2005 1:12:01 PM | Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world that felt like this. I hated sleeping with my wife. She snored and talked in her sleep. Sometimes I'd go 3 nights with almost no sleep. We've been seaparated 16 months now and I definitely do not miss sleeping with her. I do miss someone to snuggle up with at night. Again, it's not the sex, that is easy to find, but someone who you care about and want to snuggle with is difficult to come accross. I also miss someone to eat dinner with or have a conversation over breakfast on Sunday mornings. As snuggely and talkative as my 3 cats are, they can not take the place of another human being in my life. They do manage to hog the bed some nights. | |
|
| Sleeping alone Posted: 10/31/2005 2:19:31 PM | I would love to have somebody next to me to cuddle with and keep me warm. If a bad dream wakes me up in the middle of the night, it's nice to have somebody so close to you. I also wouldn't have to go to bed thinking about that person and wishing they were there with me. | |
