I'm in dire need of time to "figure stuff out". I am one of those people who's constantly been in relationships since like 8th grade. I think it's gotten to the point where I figure it's easier for me to be happy if I'm in one, and that's not good. I need to up my standards and wait untill I am actually satisfied with myself first. But I am horrible at doing this, since I'm so used to having someone around, I get lonely quickly and therefore just kinda go out with whoever.

How long can I stay single? 3 months? That probably doesn't seem like a long time to most people but for me that seems like forever. I wish I could say a year but that's probably not a possibility.

Does anyone else have this issue? It's so selfish and dumb to talk about, I know, but that's just what I'm dealing with so STFU!

with everyone you meet, just find something you hate about them and focus all your attention on that until you cant think of anything else while they're around.

that's what i do, and it works for me!

Look on the bright side: At least you don't have a homewreckin' crank addict slut calling your mobile at 5 AM playing "I'm so Lonely" on volume 11 waking you from your sleep while your better half hears the ugly mess

Sliver linings in hurricane clouds is what I provide

You're a lovely lady with a great sense of humor. You'll be back on the market in record time and will be able to put this whole ugly mess behind you. It's his loss

^that's sweet of you, but what she wants is to NOT be worried about being "on the market." she really does need some time to herself.

that was me for years, man. couldn't stay single. was constantly in unstable relationships.

don't stress too much about it. what happens, happens. just don't go searching for it, and that way if something worthwhile comes along, you'll know it when you see it.

I don't think setting a particular time like three months is such a good idea. You would be limiting yourself if a good opportunity arose, and that doesn't seem like it would be helping you 'find yourself'.

The idea of being satisfied with yourself first is a really mature way of looking at it, IMO. I see some of my friends jumping headlong into a relationship that's going to be rocky from the start simply because they have no idea who they are and what they are looking for/doing. Taking the time to think about yourself and learning who you are is good in the long run, you'll respect yourself more. I tried doing the same thing, for about a year or so, and insted of scrambling to find a girl, I read and tried understanding who I was, and what I was doing. I think I'm better off now, but then again I'm still single.

Three months can seem like an eternity but if you can get your shit together and find a nice guy who you can make things work with, it'll be worth it.

I'm working on a 2 years hiatus. I'd been dating consistantly since I was a freshman in highschool...finally at 26 I was like ...why do these things never work!!! I won't be hard if you spend everyday trying to figure out what makes you tick...

I'm just about done the hiatus and i know the next relationship will be the best one yet.

Yeah, I'm not like freaked out about it, just very wary is all. And that's really the key, not to go searching for it i.e. personals sites like I was on before.

Besides I'm really just holding out for Bruce Vilanch.
