yes, i am single (i know, i know, not a surprise), my last relationship ended about 18 months ago. since then, for the first time, i've been living alone. always had roommates or lived with a gf before. frankly, this is the happiest i've ever been. i can do exactly what i want, when i want, how i want with no worries about a roommate or anyone. i can have naked wednesday if i want. i'm typing this naked.
but of course, sometimes being alone is really hard. when i'm sick, it'd be nice to have a someone there. if i have a bad day, no one greets me at the door. i have friends and family here, but it's not the same. i started a thread a while back during a particularly bad day. i just found out my ex is getting married sometime this month. she may already be married. i guess i was hurt that it seems pretty quick to be getting married. we were engaged. my first time. i realized then that she wanted to get married, just not to me.
and i take a long time between relationships. believe it or not, i'm really shy irl, so i'm not a serial dater. it was four years between my last and previous relationships.
my son lives with me half the time and he'll be done with high school in a few years. he wants to go to school on the east coast. i've kind of decided not to get into any relationships until he decides where to go to college. i'd like to move somewhere else. i figure it'll be just as easy for him to visit another city as here.
so i got a two year plan where i just concentrate on helping him. after he flies the coop, then i can concentrate on me.
so, sorry ladies...no can do on the relationships! but we can still get it on...
thanks for the question, midge. hope i answered it.
i'll think about who and what i want to ask.
(btw, midge. married! wtf?!?)
edit: my son's mother and i were never really together. in fact, we had already stopped seeing each other when she found out she was pregnant. shes one of those people who makes it really hard to be her friend. she's overly emotional, easily angered. i think it was our 4th date when we went to a comedy club with a group of friends. they wouldn't give us a table until the entire party was there. she got so mad, she left. didn't even tell me. just took a cab home. i finally went to her house, but you know, i new it wasn't going to work after that. we're good friends now, but it was really hard the first couple years. i don't really think it's affected me all that much, but i always remind my son that not all women are like her. some are just nice all the time.
