    I think a lot of singles hate admitting they're not actually... on their own..... .. the 'single' guys with a woman at home.... and the 'single' girls... with a dude waiting in the wings when she starts chatting with another single girl....lol BUT.... in the spirit of the topic..... going to the movies.

    Like the John Mayer song, When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll outta bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe Wondering, "Was she really here? Is she standing in my room?" No she's not, 'cause she's gone wow, that's depressing :)

    Only thing I dislike is when I go out with couples (not 'those' kinda of couples), but with friends and their partners. I don't mind if it's a social, but when it's a table situation and the booking is for 5 couples, +1. :/

    ...but sleeping by myself isn't half as good as sharing my bed with another. As for cooking...I do that for a living so I don't mind doing it for myself or guests, it's not a chore...but I prefer to eat simpler at home. Simple finger foods that require minimal washing up for me please.

    Going to weddings and large social events on your own when you don't know many people is a real bore. Mind you I am not that great at small talk and have to be in the mood to socialise. In any event, it is always a lot more fun to go with a partner/friend.

I ask this as someone who has made the mistake in the past of thinking a partner would 'fix' what was wrong in my life. I have decided that I will only be ready for a long-term commitment again when I truly have no 'need' for it. Am I there yet? I think I'm pretty close, so much so actually I'm starting to not want it at all... But then I am a little odd

Because I am capable just dont like having to be all the time. I wasn't responding to your desire to have someone help you when you were in need, rather the posts that were talking about dinner, movies, hugs, etc... As a stubbornly independent person myself, I do understand the desire to occasionally not have to be in charge... Trouble is, I know myself well enough to know that I'd refuse help anyway as I hate feeling like I can't handle something on my own. I think I'm my own worst enemy sometimes.

    Surrounded by friends and family so not alone. But the thing I miss is when you receive devastating news and there is no one to help you deal with it. It was illustrated to me this week when I turned up for work to find out that one of my work friends had committed suicide over the weekend. While I could tell family and friends, it is not the same. (no, not crying out for help and very able to handle it and surrounded by friends and family to talk with. but just wanted to say it is what I missed this week).

    Quoting 'IamMrSilly' But the thing I miss is when you receive devastating news and there is no one to help you deal with it. Yes family and friends are there for you, but sometimes if it's a death in the family itself, YOU can find yourself being strong and doing all the supporting for others. When two seperate but related deaths occured in my extended family, I didn't get the chance to really breakdown and cry on someone elses shoulder until I was with a partner, many years later. There is a term for this: delayed grief.

I go back to my hotel room every evening alone almost in tears with stress frustration and helplessness. These nights I wish I have somebody familiar to share a drink with, vent to, laugh with, share a minute with and even just hold my hand qnd say all is good tomorrow. I have to do it to myself in the mirror and say, tomorrow is another day. Sleep it off and the sun will rise again. Another chance to redeem myself.

    Quoting 'pieklet' Huntsman spiders - evil things! They are so cute, they're actually more scared of us. See how the scarper when you try to catch them. I catch them in a towel, t-shirt or the like then take them outside.As I see it anything that eats flies has got something going for it...yes I know Huntsman don't eat flies.I enjoyed living on my own on the farm for about eight years, the real possibility of being on my own again holds no fear for me. Although I'd definitely like to go back to country living if I was on my own again, preferably in NZ.

Im not angry at it.. im not happy about it either.. you all are how you are it is what it is. those comments just proved my facts more factual.. that you just sit there judge and bully i actually laugh at how senseless it is.. maybe im just more mature minded and too honest for any of you Your loss Why would i have self pity when i know i have alot of worth and morals?? You obviously cant handle the truth so have to say these things to make yourselves feel better because you know youre not good enough. another fact Sorry if people being so straightforward annoys you.. id rather not lie or play games in general and especially for a relationship or to get sex.. i find that disgusting - Posted from rhpmobile

    ...and it was only a few years ago that a shift occurred in me and I lived my first real relationship for 2 and a bit years. I have to say it was an enjoyable change of lifestyle, featuring lots of intangibles that would carry me along like anemotional roller coaster at times. Definitely worth the pain at the end . Single again, I certainly miss someone warm and soft to hug and hold...whether it's for her or mine emotional need..butI miss more the companionship on the adventures. Someone to share the ride with, someone who shares some of the same passions. I suppose I'm describing a best friend however. And an emotional attachment there may not be reciprocated unfortunately.

    I have an electric blanket, so I don't need someone to warm the bed. My table manners are atrocious, so I prefer to eat by myself and, apparently, farting at the movies is a no no.

    Being alone is what you make it I guess but being alone at a party full of couples as someone mentioned above really is the pits. Couples have it beat in that scenario.... My only other dislike is trying to open a jar on my own and can't and there's no one else around to help grrrrrrr usually means I have to rethink an entire meal for one.... Blast ye tight jar lids!!!!

Blast ye tight jar lids!!!! My friend showed me an awesome trick for this recently when I was nearly about to take a jar back to the shop. Stab the lid with a sharp knife to release the pressure, then it opens easy as pie!
