When I was single back in the day, the worst part of being single was being single There was so much pressure. Thankfully, after awhile, my parents and parents' circle finally gave up on me . I was engaged twice but not married so to them, the relationships didnt count. (Nice huh?)

And thankfully, I got to a point of acceptance and stopped comparing my life to others' .... which helped a lot!

At times, though, I miss the intimacy and companionship, having someone on the other side of the bed, having *** on a very regular basis (fun!), sharing things, esp if we have the same sense of humor! and simply having "guy stuff" around (I like "dude" things around - in contrast with my girly stuff).

I have been in long-term, wonderful, loving relationships, so I have an idea of what I am looking for. If it's not there, I won't drag it out simply to have someone in my life. It isnt fair to him or me.

Generally, though, I would rather be alone and single with Krazee Kitteh than with someone that I am not comfortable and happy being around.

(I agree about learning to do some of the traditional guy things. I learned and can do it. But I much prefer to have some help).
