D-Lish Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I wouldn't say I'm destined to be alone, but I would be content with living my life never having a significant other. My life always seems to move forward faster when I am single anyways. I have never met a girl that I feel makes me happier and more fulfilled, and until that happens, I'm staying single. If it ever happens. Which I'm ok with. Me too K. I'm totally at the same place.
D-Lish Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 The girl in your picture, I guess? Lucky dude. Not only does she look really cute, she has a really nice smile. She really does have a great smile! A funny accent, but we can overlook that:lmao:
Pyro Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 She really does have a great smile! A funny accent, but we can overlook that:lmao: a very funny accent. I was only me that poked fun at it, but during her last visit my friends joined in.
Author bananaboat11 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Heh. I could be out with an ex girlfriend from 3+ years ago (undergrad years)... one of my LTR's... I knew she'd be in town. I purposely went home to avoid her. Bad things could happen. She texted me asking to meet up for a drink. Sh/t.
Author bananaboat11 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Being single can't be ALL that bad... I mean I really have more time to focus on me. My ambitions. My fitness. My lifestyle. My hobbies. No having to really give excessive time to try and get to know someone. More time to be a selfish piece of **** and care about me.
CLC2008 Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 OP, I presume you're in your 20's? That's young. And, you still have your whole life ahead of you. Being single isn't all that bad. Sure, there are times when it downright sucks, but life could be a lot worse. I'm in my 30's, so I have a little insight, and having been in a relationship for most of my life (boyfriend in highschool, boyfriend throughout my entire 20's) now I am a dried up prune but at times I love it. But, we've all had our own personal hell and back. Part of life is also learning to have a relationship with yourself (yes that's cliche'), but it's true and is very important, not only for yourself, but for the benefit of the person you get into a relationship with.
Author bananaboat11 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 CLC... as I gaze beyond the vast figurative horizon... I do not see any lights at the end. I see nothing more than darkness on this one way ride through life. It's just unusually quiet peering up beyond the shadows cast deep in the valley. Slowly the sun begins to set as the twilight envelops the ominous distance. And where do I find myself? Standing tall above the landscape, overlooking a dark chasm with a bottom that eludes my sights. The skyline and neon night encumber my senses... I want to scream, but what's the use? All I can think are the unforgotten memories that linger in my subconscious. I do possess a small glimpse of hope one day amid the greatest journey on which we embark these broken premonitions and empty dreams will reconcile a once vivacious heart to beat once more.
zengirl Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Sarcasm? It's not a 'nice' thought, however. I never said I was happy with the thought. Content means happy. Now I am confused. I don't see what's so bad about being single. I mean relationships are great, but it's hard to find a great one when you're desperate not to be single, which is part of why so many relationships are not-so-great. However, I think saying one is "destined" for anything is a bit silly. The only thing certain is change.

Content doesn't denote happiness, but a commonplace in acceptance of 'right now' or 'to be'. In essence I'm not complacent in being single, but am coming to terms with the fact I must.... for however long it may take to understand what I am... for this idea has broken my head... and blackened my heart.

Content means a great deal more than that. It means satisfied, at the very least, if you're sticking to pure denotation. It doesn't signify singing-in-the-hills happiness, no, but you sound nowhere near content here. Acceptance means also not having such negative thoughts. Acceptance feels happy. (If you ever truly become accepting of what is, you'll get that. It seems ridiculous until you do.)
Jemay Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 /sarcasm. Couldn't help myself..... I'm sure all will work out just as it should
Author bananaboat11 Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Couldn't help myself..... I'm sure all will work out just as it should it's ok. this is distracting me right now and making me happy(ier) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o91jr54W4E4

Standing tall above the landscape, overlooking a dark chasm with a bottom that eludes my sights. Dark poets get all the girls, you may not end up alone after all. I am fully content with being single. There are times when a spouse would come in handy (she could taste the milk for me so I know it's not sour) but it's not worth it. You're a young guy, don't forget to get laid now and then, you'll go insane (literally) if you don't.
Lakeside_runner Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 1. "Men do not cry. Men do not pout. Men jack you in the freakin' jaw and say - thanks for coming out!" 2. Being single has this one big advantage: you can spend as much money on your TT/Tri-bike as you want and nobody says anything! But seriously - yes, there are moments when it seems like we all will end up alone and lonely, BUT think about it - a lot of the girls would be in seventh heaven while being with you (good job prospects etc.) So - just go out there and find them! Go! Join a running group or a tri group or anything like that.
Mme. Chaucer Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I've been to hell and back and let me tell you something "paradise is a state of mind & it begins in our hearts." You don't find women you "create" them through your own energy and what you put out there. That's right, ladies! We are all just products of Green's positive and manly energy. We don't really exist!
