being single

[g-mile7]

It's better that you're single and give yourself time to analyze what you want in not only a boyfriend, but an eventual future husband. Make a criteria and follow it through and at the first warning sign address it. You have more power then you know.

Yeah this is a good thing to mull over.

I suppose what inspired this thread was that sometimes I get lonely to the point of depression. This huge desire to have love in my life again (though the love I did had was pretty unhealthy, I gave a lot and little to nothing was given back) hits me and for some reason it's always helped me feel complete though I am certain that's not healthy.

But since I've been on my own, I have learned more about myself. I'm reaching more goals I've had for myself and I only am pushing harder to get more done.

So it's been good for me.

Anyway,

you don't shy away from things that invite criticism

that actually feels really good to hear.
Thanks.

now lets remember that i'm blunt, but pretty sweet

being 18 and single and knowin i can get with a category of women, suddenly finding 1 in particular that i wanna be with really changed me i think. happy and caring aren't things that i like but can no longer shake.
