There are times I love being single as I can do my own thing and dont have to check with someone but would definitley rather be in a happy healthy relationship
I do have an open mind when it comes to love. It's just that after my last relationship, I feel that I don't ever want to get trapped in a facade again.........
I have 2 dogs, buy cruise tickets and ask some lady if she would enjoy going on a cruise, , I have several "kids", none of who do not like gifts, and a few "mentors", who better to share thoughts with. At times, one of them continually tells me the sign that says "Think, Think, Think" does not apply to me as yet..
On a scale of 1 to 10, 15 and climbing.
For me, I find learning to live with myself, shows me how to live with another.
I am beginning to get more comfortable with it, but that might just be that the idea of dating again, introducing someone to my family, introducing them to my dog, hoping they like my pets... it's scary! I haven't done something like that for about 10 years now.
Being single is not all that great. lol, When I'm single 90% of the time I work, 10% sleep, I basically lose my social life, lol well that and I just moved 300 miles away from everyone and everything I know. The Pros are you are your own person, noone to tell you you can't do anything, or gotta be in by a certain time. Cons if you gotta work all time time, FINDING a date can be a hassle. I work night shift so ya know? lol
I'm quite comfortable. Although, been thinking about getting a new seat in my chair soon.
As for living alone, being single... For THIRTY YEARS I always had one or more child under the age of 10 living with me. (By choice, and I loved it. Yeah, I'm a nut, haha.) The past 5 years, I've been 'retired'... living alone... and this is GREAT!
A few men thrown in there during those 30 years. They make me repeat... "5 years of living alone... and this is GREAT!".
I'd love to have a man to love, though. A perfect solution would be a dwelling in which we each have our own areas and we meet in the middle to share, to help, to love, to care.
