You do get to leave the toilet seat up all the time, after all.

having to put down the toilet seat is definitely a deal breaker for me

Great thread.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I woke up next to my girlfriend this morning (who I might add is stunningly hot) and couldn't wait to drive her home.

I'm now thoroughly enjoying being by myself, reading the news.

Of course if I was alone all the time, that'd be different. If that's the case, you need to really focus on your personal goals and get out there and achieve them. You won't be alone for long.

Don't hold back - tell us how you really feel.

Meh. My family line dies with me.

I use to not see the wisdom of having women friends. I figured if I couldn't "date" them, then why waste my time. However, I now have 4 or 5 really close female friends that I keep in touch with/flirt with on a regular basis. Once I quit looking at them as someone I HAD to try and get into bed I found things were a lot easier. A nice side effect of having that appearance that you don't care if they sleep with you or not is that they are more attracted to you.....weird how that worked out.

So, on any given night, if I find myself being alone and I'd rather not, all I have to do is call for someone to come over and watch a movie or go out to shoot some pool and have a few drinks.

My advice, cultivate female friendships and prosper!!!!

lonely and alone are two different things. in any rate, believe in jesus/moses/allah/tom_cruise, and you'll be saved.

I'm only 23 but I sometimes worry about ending up alone. It probably doesn't help that I still like an ex-gf from more than a year ago, but yeah. I've had an interesting time with dating since we broke up and whenever it doesn't work out with a new girl for whatever reason (including eating rice, wtf) and I wish it was back to being so easy with her, but I also know that that is not possible (at least at this time) because of the distance involved and her/mine future career goals.

Then again I know people who are older (and in some cases, much older) who don't seem to be in too much of a rush to find someone. Maybe I'm just looking for someone to hang out with..I get pretty unhappy whenever I end up spending a weekend night by myself, which doesn't happen all that often but happens more than I would like (probably because in the last city and the city that I've lived in now, I was there for 3 and 4 months respectively)

Yes, I do. I have cried, alone, for all the loneliness and fright I felt then and will feel in the future. I cannot escape it, and I cannot ignore it. I had to face it and accept it, or else it would have shaped every decision I make for the worse.

I am afraid for the years I will spend alone in my bed, with no one to talk to, no one with whom to share myself, and in whom I can share. I am terrified of being old, rich, and abandoned. But I must realize that life is grander and larger than tomorrow, and the day after, and that to enjoy what comes next I must take solace in the knowledge that what comes after those random days will be what I seek.

:Q

accept the fact that being alone is a possiblity and you'll be happier.

rich and old-> see my above post about mailorderbrides.com

I've read enough YAGT's on this site to know that I'm probably better off living alone

Yea, i do. And i have worried about this for a long time. Since my teens i suppose. Im a mess though. In my past i have been with some really great women and could probably still be with any of them if i didnt fsck up. My life is a constant "boy meets girl. boy gets girl. boy fscks up. boy looses girl. boy cant get girl back" story. Fortunately i probably wont live past my 50s so i dont have a lot of time to wash/rinse/repeat.

Why do you think you won't live past your 50s?

Several months ago i fell very ill and was hospitalized for a couple weeks. Certain vital organs were failing. Etiology could not be determined, but the symptoms were treated. I am well now, but the damage has been done. If you believe the statistics my life expectancy is now ~54. The good thing is that i dont have to go through the cycle of heartbreak that many more times. And i dont have to worry about saving for retirement.

sounds like denial to me

Sounds miserable to me. Males and females are supposed to mate. Its how nature works. Nature isn't wrong.

:roll: Yeah, the fact that I'm perfectly happy with my life must mean that I'm emo and cutting my wrists constantly if I'm not with someone. Like you.

 

[slackerinabox]

Read all my assanine YAGTs... Yes, it terrifies me.

Uh, right. Sure. If I wasn't a guy, and have a life that, y'know, doesn't solely revolve around animals in an unhealthy way. But I'd imagine you know from firsthand experience what it's like to be a crazy cat person

 

[StormRider]

I've always been alone so that part doesn't really worry me. I am worried a little about what happens when my health declines because I will have no one to take me to the hospital or bring me back from the hospital and stuff. I don't know how that would work out for me.

 

[shadow9d9]

I am 25 and been married for 2.5 years.. not worried yet.

 

[Reckoner]

Basically.

Everyone who is single worries about this to some extent. No big deal. It is what it is.

 

[Garet Jax]

Nope I worry about ending up with my wife

 

[pcnerd37]

I used to have those feelings, but then I realized that a woman would just get in the way of my goals. If i end up with somebody, fine, if not im just as happy with the way my life is turning out. While I would gladly trade a woman for my noisy, smelly roommate, I love the single life. I am the textbook definition of a loner and see stuff like that as just an added bonus to an already good life. This way my money gets spent on me instead of somebody else, which is also very nice.

lol

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I worry that I will end up like those couples that sleep in the same bed but haven't had a real conversation in years. That still counts as alone, I guess.

 

[Stumps]

I never used to worry about it, but after recent events, I'm beginning to wonder how I start again....I got so used to have my Fiancee about and now she isn't here any more.

You have a lot on your plate right now. Don't be in a hurry - things have a funny way of working out when you least expect it.
