I feel like it's kind of exhausting being around someone and trying to act normal. For example:
I was seeing a guy for a couple months and we only got to see each other on the weekends because of our work schedules. I found that every weekend I felt obligated to spend friday and saturday nights with him and I started to resent it because I wanted to just relax and be alone.
It seems everyone else wants to be with someone else, they are "needy" Why can't I be normal?? I guess it does have it's pros, I don't feel depressed on V Day because I am glad to be single, but I feel like I will be like this forever. I want to have more kids someday, but its never gonna happen by the looks of it!

I know how you feel.
Freedom to do what I want, whenever I want, without having to check with someone or ask permission like a lot of people do is great. Sometimes, when I think about friends who have spouses and kids, I wonder how in the world they get any "me time" evenings and weekends when they're busy tending to their family members.
But, after having no dates or relationships or sex since 1997, it sometimes feels like some "us time" would be great rather than the non-stop "me time."
