"I know I’ll never find a guy more perfect for me than my ex, and that I’ll probably die alone. But, damn, it feels good to be single."

HAHAHA this sounds exactly like me. I love it!

I am at a point in my life where I couldnt agree more with the writer! I have turned every potential boyfriend down because I'm not wanting a boyfriend at the moment. I am free and loving every second of it.

All of my wanting for a boyfriend has immediately ceased.

I'm totally in the same boat!!! Just broke up with my boyfriend of two years and going to be a junior in college. It feels great to be able to not have to worry about what someone else wants to do when I want to go out or stay in.

good on you for being happy with singledom, i think that's great. on the other hand i've been with my boyfriend for a while now, and i still get myself all dolled up for wild nights on the town, with or without his companny. i can also go and have dinner with my guy friends or chat with new guys… and i wouldnt DREAM of giving up a great career opportunity for him if we last untill the end of uni… so i guess some relationships just dont feel quite so restrictive.

I totally agree, the single life can be a bit of trudge after a while but this is the kind of attitude that gets you through the lonely moments.

I think your outlook on the single life is refreshing. I know what you mean about wanting to dress up and feel pretty once in awhile to go out and meet guys. Good relationships are definitely worth it, but they can get monotonous and difficult to keep up after awhile.

i think she just meant that if she was with a boyfriend it could offend him if she did dinner and a movie with another guy, especially if he ended up liking her, it would look as if she was on a date with him. like theres no potential awkwardness to the situation.

I wouldn't say that now you have nothing to worry about (re: some guy's intentions) because you don't have a boyfriend. That makes you seem a bit reckless. I think part of being in a relationship is knowing how to manage (not avoid) it in tricky situations like that.
