Why do you want a partner?
Most of us, if not all, are on a dating site because we are looking for a partner. That is the purpose of dating sites after all. We could blog on any social media site.But why are we really looking for one?
Is it to have somebody around on the long cold evenings, for companionship ?
Somebody to do the jobs we may find difficult ourselves?
Somebody to keep us warm in bed?
Is it for financial security?
Somebody to have by our sides when we go to weddings, funerals, etc.
Is it to have somebody look after us as we age?
Or simply somebody to have sex with on a regular basis?
Does society make us feel like we are not complete without a partner or wife/husband?
Do we ourselves feel like we are not complete without a partner or wife/husband?
Why do we really want a partner?

Now, I feel a void that a female partner would fill. Only one for me Why? Because I can
enhance her life, and she mine.
I stumbled upon this site.
I didn't came on here initially to find anyone.
Sometimes the blogs cause me to forget that though initially I wasn't really looking, I might still want to meet someone.
Sometimes when you're going through a certain phase in your life all you really want to do is just converse with someone and have a great conversation going.
Nice blog Molly.
@Seri, we all are, whether for the long term or short.
@Luv, you don't sound like you are ready for a new relationship yet. Give it time, you'll know when you are
@Mimi
I nearly wet myself at the thought of you pumping irons in the gym
Please don't @ me... I'm still traumatised
@Prof , sometimes it is good to be reminded what we are looking for.
@Tru, can you expand on that answer please?
@Scotty, that sounds like a good plan
Apologies Seri, I won't @ anymore
But I didn't come on this site for this.
Ped. that's the best I've ever heard from you.
I didn't want to make the blog too long though
Some people do want a regular live-in relationship/marriage
Others want part-time, on their terms.
Still others are happy with an LDR .
There is no right or wrong answer to the blog, just opinions and diversity.
A life partner is a partner on all occasions and conditions , to me , it is hard to spend a loveless life , I am not looking for someone to financially support me or make me warm on the bed , but I need someone to spend a happy and successful life together without any greed or selfishness , love makes our lives peaceful And beautiful
Hi pedal
But as Peds said, it is nice to have a warm body next to you in bed too, especially on the cold nights
But a Partnership is more than warming each other on the bed molly
Hi true
is there a barista in your bedroom
Welcome to the blogs
You are right. There is no one-size-fits-all in relationships.
As long as both are happy in the relationship, that is all that matters
It is something we all think about, or should think about, once in a while.
If we don't know what we are looking for in a partner, or why we even want a partner, then we may have to reevaluate.
And don't worry, you come across as a perfect gent, funny but grounded
Seriously, I count myself lucky that I have many great relationships with people. Develop a friendship by just being nice and everytime you run into them that time with them just adds to your day. If you can manage to fill your day with experiences like these then your not doing to bad at all.
Look at tribes, the most basic form of human settlement. They are not a couple /family living out on their own in one hut, but a mix of everyone, all acting as one.
Thank you for your kind welcome
We are so obsessed with individuality and our rights as an individual, we forget we are all an integral part of society and also need society.
That is why there is so much loneliness in the world.
I am lucky to have many different relationships with people. It starts by just being nice and can add so much to an otherwise boring day. If you can fill your day with good experiences then your not doing to bad at all.
