I’ve come to the conclusion that, on balance, I don’t much like being single. I need to work on this! And by that I mean I need to discover the joys of being comfortable on my own, because this might be how it continues to be for me. “Bah! Humbug!” I hear you say, but I’m really being serious about this. If you can’t cope on your own, little good you’ll be in a relationship anyway.
So how do I conquer Singledom? How does anybody conquer it? There’s no vaccination that I know of. Maybe I need to contemplate Buddhism. Or maybe I just need to stop thinking about it and eat some chocolate.

Singledom = Single Dom
My last proper relationship ended in January 1996 when I was 23 - I'm now 36...
Dommy, d'you want some chocolate? xx
I like being single most of the time. I like the freedom it gives me. I don't answer to anyone but myself.
However, there are definitely times when I would like to be with someone. I miss the warmth and tenderness of a good relationship.
Unfortunately, my last few relationship attempts have been disasters, so I tend to keep myself to myself now. Maybe I'll open up again someday.
Hey BalGuy
My last few have damaged me too, but I think they have also made me stronger in many ways. Perhaps it is the same for you?
Things will be okay though...
"One often finds one's destiny while on the path to avoid it."
The worst thing couples seem to do is actually try and understand how the other person ticks.
Guys and gals think totally differently. Guys think about big engines and boobs. I've no idea what gals think about. It's probably about 10,000 times more complicated.

I think you are right there... there can tend to be a giant chasm between men expecting women to 'get it' because it is just so completely obvious to them and women expecting men to understand their often contradictory complexities. It can be very funny! It can also be dreadful. I don't envy men having to decode us, but we also have our challenges!
