Posted: 2/26/2008 7:14:48 PM | The worst thing about being single is how concerned everyone else is about your single-ness. Everyone has a sister, cousin, friend, co-worker or someone they met at the club that they think would be perfect for you. Always sounds great, rarely pans out. My worst blind date was set up by a friend... The girl had one of those yucky weird girl mullet hair cuts (that my friend knows I hate) and I ended up being the best dressed guy at live wrestling..... No one to kiss goodnight, or steal the blankets from on a chilly night...missing that feeling of acomplishment/ Ego stroke, when she looks at me and say's you "rock my world"

I think the worst thing about being single is:
The lack of physical intimacy.. kissing, holding hands, cuddling etc. | |

Not sure I could have answered this one better myself.
I suppose for myself the worst thing about being single is that I sometimes feel like I have no purpose, in every day life. Sure I still want to go back to school to become a counselor, sure I want to find a better job and improve my way of living, sure I want my cat to stop biting me when he's happy.. -) What I want most.. I want someone who wants all that and more, most importantly, someone who wants to do it WITH me, next to me, forever. (Ok, at least until one of us dies)

Posted: 2/27/2008 11:13:42 AM | HAHAHA that sucks but you have to look at it like, its something funny to look back on.... and a good reason not to trust that friends judgment.
The worst thing about being single for me would be... having nobody to hang out with... other than just your friends. and how when your single... youre single for a while. Apparantly my pictures do me no justice cause people dont talk to me. I really am a nice, fun, easy going guy... So probably the worst of the worst would be the questions of "why are you single?" nice guys finish last... | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 11:38:24 AM | ...is wondering if how long this state of single-ness will last. I feel like the longer I am single, the longer I'll STAY single. I agree with the previous poster about feeling aimless, and having no purpose in life. I've given up on cooking because it brings me no joy to cook for myself; I liked cooking for others but my house is empty and I refuse to cook for my dogs. (I ain't that crazy YET!)
Another thing is that since I don't have a partner my siblings are urging me to move home (Texas) to take care of my parents - "so I'll feel needed." Well, since my kids (20-somethings) have lives HERE, I doubt if I'll do that just so my siblings (who live blocks from our folks) can "get a break." Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm completely hopeless..........does it? 
For the moment, I'll just try to accept the "aloneness" and learn more about who I am as an individual before trying to identify myself with someone else again. And when I DO meet someone, I'll make every effort to maintain my individuality without losing myself in him. | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 4:50:17 PM | Rumor, that is sort of sad. Never feel like you don't have a purpose in life! A person doesn't make you complete, they should compliment your life. Plus you have kids, that is a purpose in itself. I sometimes think I would be lonely if I didn't have my boys to give me hugs and kisses. Even my soon to be 17 yr old still kisses my cheek, gives me a big hug and says he loves me.
I thought of another worst thing........ I am tired of being the single one hanging out with all the couples. My brother and sister in law are coming to visit in April and guess what......along with my other brother (here) and his wife, we are all going to Vegas for the weekend. I again, will be the solo one with two couples. Even though they are family and I love them all, I wish I did have someone to go with me.
Never have fought for the remote...... but I will remember that reason for future reference.  | |

Man, you nailed it! That is so true! If I ever get in a relationship again Boston Market is going to go bankrupt, with no one to buy their "Turkey Breast Medallions".
I do sometimes wonder what the checkout folks at Walmart think when I go through. Fifteen frozen entree's, 8 cans of beans and wieners, 12 Snack Pack puddings (vanilla flavor, a woman would pick the chocolate), 20 pkgs of ramen noodles. Oh, and a bottle of wine. And the next time they see me, it's more or less the same thing.
I have wondered if seeing a guy go through checkout with what is obviously "single guy food" wouldn't be the cue for a single, female checkout clerk to start getting real chatty. Dunno, maybe all they feel is pity. | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 9:13:42 PM | If I saw 8 cans of beans and weiners in a guys cart, my first thought would be ... I bet he has alot of gas. 
I would pick vanilla, I have always been a vanilla girl and not chocolate.
My cart shows "single mom food"..lol Lunch snacks, fruit gummies, diet and reg. soda, capri suns etc.
I thought all guys liked to grill? Especially living here, we can grill all year round. It is so easy to throw some meat on the grill. If I saw all frozen meals and frozen pizzas it would make me think unhealthy and think he doesn't cook at all. | |

Anyway single by choice here. No body seems interested in what I offer or cannot offer. Yes miss all the intimacy and the like. But also do not miss the negative that can come also.
Take care all not here for long. | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 5:13:52 AM | | Nobody to unwind the day with. The bed is always cold (note to self: buy an electric blanket next winter). Baking 4 dozen cookies and finding a home for 40 of them before I eat them myself. Being odd man out in a group of 3 or 5. I gave up on dinner during the week and have large lunches instead, it is no fun working all day and then cooking for one and I don't often eat frozen meals for one after reading the labels. I cook large dinners on the weekends and freeze some for lunches. Nobody to walk with, dine with, whatever with on a whim. It is eerie how the longer you are single it almost beomes easier. | |

Yup, those fruit gummies are a dead give-away. 
I thought all guys liked to grill? Especially living here, we can grill all year round. It is so easy to throw some meat on the grill.
I went through a phase of that. The problem here is that the quality of fresh meat is quite variable. I got to where I felt it wasn't worth the effort.
In San Antonio I used to get whole beef briskits, already cooked. If you asked, they would slice it for you, then you could split it up into freezer bags and freeze it, then microwave it when you wanted. Very tasty and not all that expensive.
These days I get a lot of Chinese take-out, the best food bargain in town. For about $5 you can get enough food for at least 2 meals, sometimes stretch to 3.
The part I miss the most, though, is having someone to sit with and enjoy a meal together, with some conversation. | |

What I miss most about being single?
"Baby guess what!!! I GOT THE NEW JOB!
Sounds corney huh? But thats what I miss. The feeling that comes when you can't wait to share something good with that special someone. Or the bad. Or even just how your day went. Cat will pay attention, but once Ive finished dishing out the fancy feast, she somehow loses interest.
So honey, how was your day?

Posted: 4/4/2008 5:37:25 AM | | As much as we can celebrate the abstract yet veritable pleasures found in our collective singleness, I would suggest this maneuvering be at least somewhat trite in that here we all are, hitch-hiking, as it were. Yes, we are complete humans in and of ourselves, yet the pine we have to connect (and stay so) is very far from a simple socio-cultural nuance driven desire. Lest we whistle in the dark, I would strongly advocate that we are constructed in such a way as to actually need this connection, this mutual employment of intamacy, to become fully self-actualized. Of course we can find much relief and comfort in friends and family, yet may never quite fully clear the hurdle of lasting and profound depth found only in a real partnership on multiple levels. I miss the sense of ego instability due to the gnawing insight of someone so far in that their ideas fail dismissal with ease. I miss the exposure and explanation that results in growth and dismantled walls. I miss sharing goals as well as frailties, dreams as well as nightmares, hearty uproarious laughter as well as drenching calamitous tears. I miss the stir, the emoting, the meaningful and the mundane. Hell, I miss the shared coffee and crossword with the awakening yet inevitable "honey, whats a seven letter term for wordy?" Most of all, and I think some would agree, the worst part of being single is that it keeps the me from becoming we. | |

OOPS...was that too loud? Sorry....
Losing the emotional intimacy and transparency you share when you love and are loved on a deep and intimate level...
Not having someone to treat in a SPECIAL WAY... 
Not being treated in a special way...
The loss of bantering...and the intimacy of pet names...
Not having someone I can surprise by doing "little things" I know she will treasure... 
Not having a tender...loving touch to soothe the wounds of your world... 
The TRAUMA and back strain of cuddling with yourself!  | |
