To feel whole again for it seems like I have a void & do not expect anything that I couldn't do or give. I would use my experience of those pitfalls of assuming & take for granted.
These same questions of yours have plagued me for a long time and were a constant pest to me during my transition back into living life as a singleton again. Something I was determined to master, and did, but by perhaps answering all those questions with the negative aspects of being in a relationship, to justify to myself the choice of going it solo. I'm not going to list them, I'm sure most of us have all been there., but in summary my resultant attitude was, "I don't need a partner, I'm better off without one". Mental self preservation I suppose.
So, I achieve this independent place and start to actually feel quite smug about it. And then what goes and bloody happens ! This CS Spanish bird comes to visit town and ruins it all. We meet for a coffee and then twang, Cupids bow lets fly and the arrow gets me, bullseye !
I've heard it said that love can appear when you are not looking and for me this is true. I must have been lying to myself, thinking I didn't need it or that I could suppress it. Back to that self preservation thing again !
So I hope many that might be in a similar position to me can take heart from this wee cs love story. Meeting though is the key and making that all important connection.
Thank you for finding and flicking my switch marijo70 .... Te quiero
I want the little things in life. Like sitting on the couch together, sharing a meal together, laughing together,holding hands....loving. I think DrBombay said it well when he said, "To feel whole again" and Given up when he said, "Share".
josingleinspain: No way no trick questions simply trying to find out why us humans need to be part of a pair.
Not only do we need to be part of a pair, but we also need to be part of a family and a cummunity. It's Human Nature. It doesn't explain itself, that's just the way we are.

What do you want from a partner????
What will you compromise to be with him/her.
Why do you want to be part of a pair????
