What's The Toughest Thing About Being Single?

[Thunder Peel]

It's tough for me because, not only is my family disappointed, but most of my married friends have pretty much gone on with their lives. It's like when someone gets married they suddenly don't want to be seen with "single people" and that's how I feel, like I'm not good enough to with them because they've moved up in life and I'm still in the same place.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I've noticed it with some of my friends. I'm happy for them but I don't understand why they suddenly seem too good to talk to me once in a while.

Being married does not make anyone better than anyone else, IMO. If we were all the same and got married at the same age it would be boring.

I just don't understand why some married people don't want to associate with single people. Its strange. I have noticed this not just with people who are married but with anyone who is in a relationship.

One of my friends (who is always dating because she is beautiful, bubbly and kind) always says to me "Are you dating anyone yet?" It gets annoying.

i know that one. i have 2-3 friends that happened with me too.

it don't bother me anymore though. i'm used to seeing friends come and go. it's part of life. i wish them well, if years go by and we hang out again, great, if not, well i salute them and that's great. life always goes on and no matter, its always a good move on.

Being single.

Probably, the toughest thing about it is just being alone and not having anybody to do things with. The physical intimacy (hugging, cuddling, holding hands, kissing, etc.) are things you can't do with anyone else.

Whoa...I haven't seen thread in ages, and it wasn't even active when I joined CF. Sort of surprised me to see it.

That solo see saw is a sad picture indeed.

^^ Yup. I miss the cuddles and constant (ok, not CONSTANT) companionship. I should get a dog.
