I know I don't. Though I used to complain on a daily basis about my single status, now I praise it; for the moment being that is. I can thank the general public for that. Well, that and my friends. A week ago I was talking to a friend of mine who told me that he was cheated on four times by his SO. I asked him why he didn't leave him and his answer was, "I love him." Hearing that made me squirm. Not that fact that he loved someone, but that he loved someone so much that it's blinding his judgment. He said that I've never loved someone that much. I have loved someone like that, but I had to realize that I was only hurting myself if I stayed.
With that whole incident, it had me thinking; why would I miss dating? With the cheating, blinding love, devoting time and money, and other factors, I'm glad that I'm single. It sounds like a selfish thing, but I think you have to be a little bit selfish to survive. You have to be able to find things to keep you occupied and engaged. Also, if you're single long enough, it can be a great time to for growth. Time alone allows you to reevaluate where you are in life and catch up on things you missed while you were cruising in the fast lane. My questions are: What do you not miss about dating/relationships? Is being single as bad as everyone thinks? And for those who do love being in relationships, why do you love them so much?
