Its nice to have someone to grow with, to give love, to receive love, to teach, to learn from, to compliment each other's personalities, to feel open to share things with them that you wouldn't with someone else, companionship, to share financial responsibilities, to fulfill sexual desires consistently, loyalty, true friendship, to let loose and be yourself or act goofy with, trust, respect, appreciation...and probably a list of other things.

I would like nothing more to be in a healthy, mutually loving relationship. Unfortunately, right now I am still healing from the break up from my last one and I don't think I am in the right place for one yet. I have been dating an awesome woman the last couple months and despite my best efforts to get into it, I feel I need to end it soon, the feelings are just not there yet :(

This, verbatim.

 

And for the sense of family (part of companionship and belonging). For admiring someone and being admired. To have a safe place to develop as a person and grow with someone else whose desires and beliefs and wants align with mine.

I love the feeling of belonging to someone and they belonging to you. the exclusivity.

Right now I just cant be in a relationship because I broke up recently.

But I love being in one.

 

A partner is a lover, a friend, a family.

An inspiration, a motivation and a shelter.

 

Being in a relationship is sharing your thoughts and having them matter to someone. Being respected and valued. Its when someone really, truly knows you. When there is someone who cant live without your quirks. Its when time passes so fast, and you wish you would be able to freeze it, hold on each moment for longer. Its having so much fun is criminal. Its growing and expanding together.

I LOVE being in my relationship. Men who are afraid of committing are totally missing out! Of course, a bad relationship is worse than no relationship. But once you find a loving, compatible relationship, it is just AMAZING! I love being in love with my woman, and I love making her happy.

I'll be the Debbie Downer of this thread.

 

I don't.

 

I can't see one positive to having a relationship. Maybe I'm jaded because I've been treated like garbage by every. single. guy. that has ever walked into my life, but regardless... it doesn't show me such great odds that someone wonderful is waiting around the corner for me. I'm not that disillusioned.

 

I can't say I've ever had anyone put more than 5 second worth of effort into anything about me, not a relationship, not getting to know me, nothing. Every guy that has ever walked into my life thinks I'm a little play thing to entertain themselves for a week or two before they're bored and move on to other things.

 

I can share all of life's experiences with family, friends and myself.

 

I just see these forums as another testament to remaining single.

 

Why should a happy, independent, and emotionally healthy individual be burdened by the nonsense that is dating and relationships? Ie: lies, cheating, fighting, drama and all the other endless crap that is tied to "relationships" ?

 

They all start out exactly the same. "Oh he/she is sooo wonderful, I'm soooo happy!" Lets fast forward a year or two down the line when one or both are completely miserable, the relationship has turned toxic, blah blah blah.

 

Oh, and all the money I save not buying someone a Christmas gift! Best time of year to be single.

 

:p:p:p

^^ That??? This has NEVER and I mean NEVER happened to me in almost 30 years. I've never felt I've mattered so much to anyone. Forget about "respect" and "value." The only person on this planet who has ever appreciated, respected, and valued me? Is myself.

 

The above is like a friggen fairy tale in my life. Accept quirks? Can't live without me?! Yeah. OKAY hahahahahaahha.

 

Maybe one day, ONE DAY, someone will prove me wrong. And show me what I've been missing. But that day most definitely isn't today, and I don't see it happening in any forseeable future.

I don't really see why a relationship is such an important thing these days! I'm single and I'm really enjoying life!

 

I wouldn't say no to a relationship as I'm ready for one, they do have their advantages but I'd be happy with or without a relationship!

Glad I'm not the only one happy being single because of this :p

I am one to be cynical from time to time.. In the end though, it's only superficially.

 

I've been through serious **** too (like almost everyone I know). Im very dissapointed and angry when I think about some of my past relationships. At the same time, not all my memories of relationships are bad ones. I can remember each of them had at least one of those "things" I described. Or maybe I forget easily, and just go back to my "teen" idealistic outlook. Maybe I'm just a senseless romantic... Overestimating the depth of human race... Maybe I am living in my own little peter-pan world here. On the other hand... Is it really so much to ask? I know I can give those. I didn't even mention specific appearance preferences, hobbies or character traits. Is it really an utopia? I don't want to expect so little out of life, out of people and out of myself. For me there is nothing better than having a lover who is also your best friend and your family. Someone who has all of the things I mentioned and not just some. Yes, I am whole by myself, blahblahblah, my friends, blahblahblah, my job, blah, my hobbies, blah blah. But, as wholesome as I may be, why am I still dreaming of things? Craving things? Because I don't love my self enough? No! I think it's because I am not dead yet!
