Anyone else suffering from "single-itis"?

[BlondieK143]

I've been having a huge dose of it lately... you know, the one where you want someone to be there (even if it's to yell at them). :D

Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy with my life, just wish there was someone there to share it with. Maybe it's just the cold winter months and the fact Singles Awareness Day is coming up. Am I completely alone in feeling this way? Someone PLEASE suffer with me. hehe

[ET Awful]

1. I know the feeling.

Been there myself, wait, I AM there myself :)

Grrrrr, damned lonely cold winter. Oh well, at least I have my cats :)

[BlondieK143]

3. BUT

:cry: I don't even have cats!

[ET Awful]

24. Well, when you come to Boston, I'll let you borrow mine for an hour

a day :)

[RC]

2. You are not alone in the way you feel.

To hug. To hold.
Someone to look at and to know they stick around because they want to be with you at least as much as you want them to be around...

1200 square feet, two bedroom closes in like a small closet.

[BlondieK143]

4. Couldn't have said it better.

*sigh* There's nothing like waking up with someone next to you.

[RC]

40. The problem is finding someone.

[Dzimbowicz]

5. We are in the same boat, kinda....

The object of my affection is going through a divorce, so I must keep a very, very low profile. With the exception of DU PMs and phone calls, there can be no visible contact between us. ARGH! So, I'm back to the singleness of life, at least for the time being.

BTW, what is Singles Awareness Day?

[BlondieK143]

7. The horrible day

known as Valentine's Day. I've spent 18 of them alone, so I'm sure the 19th will be the same.

[Dzimbowicz]

17. For the 31 years of my adult life

I've been single for 29 of them. No real regrets, but now that I've met someone whom I really like and must keep a low profile for an indefinite period is indeed frustrating.

[SCDem]

20. I'm pretty sure she'll remember you on Valentine's Day

;) No need for Singles Awareness Day!

[Dzimbowicz]

28. Any suggestions for what I can do for her on that day?

:shrug:

[SCDem]

33. Maybe she'd like to go out to dinner

:shrug:

[Dzimbowicz]

35. Since we must keep a low profile...

and our town is rather small, should we go to the big city (just twenty minutes away) and become lost in the crowd?

B-)

BTW, the smiley is me being 'incognito'.... heh heh. I like the shades.

[SCDem]

36. Maybe there is some German restaurant to go to

:shrug:

[Dzimbowicz]

38. Gute Idee

dann vielleicht können wir bei einander allein und in Ruhe besuchen. Ich mag diese Frau (mein Liebchen, ja, ich weiß, daß ich kitschi bin. :spank: ) so viel und ich vermisse auch sie sehr viel; ich erleide von Liebeskrankheit....

21. You can do it!

:D Just be sure to think about the future and what's ahead for you guys! Good luck with everything!

[Dzimbowicz]

29. Thanks

:hi:

[McKenzie]

6. singular case of single-itis here

17 years of confirmed, curmudgeonly singledom...and I love it!

Sorry to hear it's getting you down though. Most people crave a partner; I'm just one of those dysfunctional oddballs.

Maybe your perfect partner will eventually come along. Mine did once but...ach, too much information.

regards and good luck

[BlondieK143]

9. Thank you!

And good luck to you as well, though you seem perfectly fine on your own as well.

[Brewman_Jax]

8. G'day, Blondie!

:hi: A case of single-itis beats a bad case of bad relationship-itis!

[BlondieK143]

10. I'm not so sure about that.

:D At least I'd have someone to share it with lol

How are ya?

[Brewman_Jax]

12. Misery loves miserable company

not for me, thanx. I don't need help, I can be miserable all by myself.

:hug: Looks like winter is coming back here. How goes with you?

[BlondieK143]

14. It's good.

But wouldn't you want to find that one person with whom time stops when you're with her? Don't you want to have someone to share your life with and work out the bad as it comes along? Don't you want someone to give you their heart as much as they have your's? *sigh* I guess I'm just hopeless.

Just freezing and working a bunch. How about you? :hug:

[Brewman_Jax]

18. Of course I would

but I haven't found her yet. I can't worry about that, that's beyond my control. Until then, I have to be the best me I can be.

Are you having a long day? Here are some

[BlondieK143]

19. You're right.

I'm just pinning at the moment, too many romance movies lately I suppose.

Nope, it's a short day today. Dad bough me tires for Christmas and I think I'm going to go have them finally put on today. How's work going so far? Is your mom still doing okay? And thanks for the balloons!

[Brewman_Jax]

22. Tires are good

New tires are really good! :thumbsup:

Ah! Those darn romance movies, they'll do it every time. Go watch a kungfu film. That'll get you motivated to workout, too.

[BlondieK143]

23. Riiiiight

LOL! And lemme guess... won't make me want a doughnut, right? :D

[Brewman_Jax]

25. Absolutely!

are you trying to take my line?

Oh, yeah, may I remind you....















No doughnut for you! :P

[BlondieK143]

26. Of course I am!

:) Just beating you to it. I need something to amuse me know that GD has pissed me off. :eyes:

[Brewman_Jax]

27. Playing in GD, again?

That's not too safe. I have to be careful, too many trolls hang out there. :P

[BlondieK143]

30. Nah, no trolls. Just a bunch of hypocrites.

Oh well. :shrug: Have a good day, I'm outta here!

[Brewman_Jax]

31. Have a short day!

:hug: It can only get better.

[Demit]

11. Gotta agree with Argyle. Being lonely & free beats being awake in the

middle of the night, looking over at the guy you're married to, and still feeling indescribably lonely. Knowing that to begin feeling better, you've got a mess ahead, getting out of the situation you're in.

Valentine's Day? Feh! It's one day only. Ignore it. You are FREE!

[BlondieK143]

13. But it's not always like that.

That's such a negative thing to say. I mean, you RARELY find a genuinely happy marriage/relationship, but a girl can HOPE can't she? I mean, if I can't look forward to that (or something that resembles it) am I supposed to look forward to being alone and having 30 cats? (I definitely mean no harm in that last sentence, I love cats and I love the people who have them, but for me, they just don't take the place of a person. So please don't be mad).

[Catfight]

34. Isn't that the truth, those sleepless nights are for the birds. This will

be my first VD day alone and single and I'm looking forward to it! I'm buying a bottle of champagne and something I really want,like a massage, and romancing myself. There's no disappointment to worry about, like the night ending badly because you are not connecting. And you're right, it's only one freakin' day, who cares.

[ClintonTyree]

15. Get a dog...................

I'm 54 and have reached the point in life where this is not even a priority anymore. Seriously, I've been married once, had umpteen relationships, and have never been happier in my life than I am now not worrying about it. Love yourself, your family and friends, and if someone comes along...OK. If not, who cares. Accept yourself for who you are and realize that you don't need someone to "complete" you. It's a great feeling!

[johnnie]

16. Naw

I like being single. I understand what you are saying though, I've been there.
But as you put it "(even if it's to yell at them)"..I sure don't miss that..lol. It took me a while to start enjoying being single, but after all this time I think of being in a relationship and I get the shivers. I never rule it out..I just don't spend much time thinking about it.
I hope you get over the blues soon or you meet that special someone. :hi:

[SarahB]

32. nevermind

:cry:

[Butterflies]

37. those movies get to me too.

But I think past the romantic start of the relationship, and I remember how it gets when he's not on his best behavior anymore. I think of the frustration and the endless compromise - that's why people need to celebrate their relationships . . . it's a lot of work to stick with it through the rough times. Most of the time I say "no thanks!"

[Schema Thing]

39. Well I wasn't..... until I read this.

God, there's a "singles awareness day"????

*weeps*



*makes will*

[Lydia Leftcoast]

41. Yes, all of my relatives old enough to be married ARE, and so are

most of the other people I know here in Minneapolis.

In some gatherings, I feel like an unauthorized stowaway on Noah's Ark. :-(

[Modem Butterfly]

42. There's a course of anti-biotic injections available for that

And next time, be sure to use a condom.

:P

[Longgrain]

43. Everyone knows by now this thread has Longgrain

written all over it. :(

[KG]

44. you'd be surprised about how little i care anymore about gettin hooked upn

:(

[Lisa0825]

45. yeah..... I have 2 friends getting married and one having a baby

all within a few months of each other. I'm really happy for them, but sometimes it makes me feel more alone.
