I have determined that I should stop looking for the good ol' "true love" and just enjoy life for what it is and forget any desire or need to have someone else in your life.

If something happens it happens, but I am happy with who I am, happy with my friends, and happy with my life.

And THEN they dig through the archives and dig up the post you stuck on the "Letters You're Never Going To Send" thread where you say something like that and then they ask you if what you said in the Letters thread would apply to them and then you have to go buy flowers.
. . . .
. . . or that might just be, y'know, a single isolated case, or something.

I've never been able to that.

Because by so choosing to do that, in the intention that if I stop looking something will come up, I'm therefore doing it in the hope that something will come up.

So in effect, I'm never really 'not' looking.



"The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up.

Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck."

I met D when I was decidedly and definitely not looking for anything at all. I think it happens that way a lot of times.

Anyways, I am single, in the most important way: to the IRS!

I became friends with Ray (even though I had known him before) after I decided that all guys were hopeless and I was dating only girls from now on. *snicker* Took 2 months of denial before I admitted he and I were dating. Razz

I think it's best just to not look for someone... Usually I meet people who I think might be date-worthy just... randomly. If I'm looking for someone I get sort of weird and nervous around guys... So I decided to just wait, and let love come at its own pace.

Being single is nice.

I've already been happily and completely smitten once. It was reciprocal, lovely, and I do not feel I need the experience again.

Things change, but I am happy now too.

To the point: Congratulations, Panda. *hugs*

Cobalt, I'm loath to respond to this, either in a negative or positive way.
One thing does come to mind, though. There are some situations forced upon us without our say, then there are others we naturally fall into by choice, whether conscious or unconscious.
I don't know which being single is for you, but I do have at least one hope for your future:
May you never be chased around by a creepy one-armed woman, who feels the need to tell you she was raped and all the details entailed with that.


*hugs*

The best thing to do when you're single is to learn to enjoy it. Think about it, nobody to be accountable to, nobody to fight for the remote, to mess up your house and friends and to make your life harder in general. You're the boss of what you want to do and when. That's something to appreciate while you have it (and this is not to say that you're unwilling to change things when the opportunity comes).

But what if you just -can't- enjoy being single? I emphasise, it's not something you can switch off.

It is something you can work on, though. Leaving issues of sexual frustration aside, for the moment, I think that if you can only enjoy life if you're hooked up with someone, you should see a counsellor about that, because it suggests to me that there are certain problems (dependency, complete lack of self-validation) that most likely wouldn't be solved by being in a relationship, at least not in the long term.


P.S.: Just so that this is very clear, I don't mean you, Mark, when I write "you". Smile

You're saying I'm deranged?

That's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. I didn't want to be single, but now that I am I'm actually enjoying just fixing 'me'and learning to enjoy my own company and be truley independent. I think until you're really independent with yourself, you can never really have a good relationship?

I read once that you should see your life as a box with several boxes inside labled 'relationships', 'friends', 'personal interests', 'family', 'hobbies', 'job' and so on, and you should always strive to keep all the boxes filled up. That way, if one of the boxes, in our case, 'relationships' is empty, you won't feel that bad because all the other boxes are full. If all the boxes are empty, fill up the ones you can do without someone elses input.
