0hpenelope Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 The thing I hate the most about being single (even though I just ended a 4 year relationship in September!) is my friends who try to lecture me into and force me into trying out guys they think would be "good for me." After having 2 serious relationships and dating other people, I know what I like. I'm taking my time picking out a new person, but my friends don't seem to understand that! I don't date around just to say that I have been dating. I'd rather spend that time on myself or with friends if I don't really like the person. I feel like my outlook is very mature and reasonable, and I feel like just hooking up with and going out with random people I'm not mildly interested in is just me wasting my time and trying to prove something to myself and to others. I also hate that they think that just because I'm not with anyone and I haven't dated anyone since my breakup that I'm not over it. I was over him while I was with him, which is why I left him! Also, I can't stand by myself without a boyfriend or at least a friend with benefits? How does it make me weak or scared to be single? It's so annoying!!! Also...don't try to push your friends on me who you yourself would never find attractive, but because you're nice you feel bad for them, so you feel like I should be the one to save them! And don't get angry at me because I'm not doing your friend a favor by hooking up with them! God, I HATE IT! LET ME DO MY THING! Oh I hear you. I can wait, thanks. Sometimes, for some reason, saying "I just don't want to" suddenly translates to their own assumptions of why I'm choosing to be single. I'm not looking for anyone! I'm still getting the last one out of my system and so what if it takes a long time? I'm having a blast, so I can't complain - made awesome friends, went to fun places. Being single is just as much a blessing as it is finding love.
0hpenelope Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Ditto. Just yesterday, I was with a friend. We were talking and he mentioned something to do with his sister. I asked him "How old is she?" and for a happy go lucky kind of guy, he suddenly turned and asked "Why do you want to know?" My guy friends who have sisters are like that, too. Yeah, sounds about right. Even my girl friends with older or younger brothers - they always tell me about their 20 questions gameplan on the potential gfs and sometimes, I can't tell whether they're kidding or they're serious.
Pedigree Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 :lmao: My guy friends who have sisters are like that, too. Yeah, sounds about right. Yeah, when I pushed him. It took him a while before he said "15". I then said that that's too young, which was probably the reaction that he was going for.
D-Lish Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 My friends have set me up with a few mutual acquiantences... and it has never worked. I've never be attracted to a any on them..and it makes me wonder how well my friends now me when they tell me they have someone prefect for me... then we meet and I am sooooo not interested! My friends often tell me I need to lower my standards and just suck it up and try to make things works with a guy even though he doesn't "do it for me" WTF? I want to wait until someone I deem to be pretty damn special comes along.
