I like being alone and I am most of the time. I'm even living alone next year. But as an introvert, I do thrive on close friendships and I don't have a ton here. I'm not trying to be contrary, but I'm so sick of looking inward all the time. I just want to be myself and be happy.

Also, I feel like having a sig other helps balance me and build a routine. I don't want to be all by myself every weekend night, but in a college town people who aren't dating you only want to go out and drink. I drink less and am safer when I'm in a relationship. I also like having some one to protect me because rape and abuse towards women is really common on a college campus.
