Who else is happy to be single? - Page 2

I would prefer to be single tbh, I've done nothing but make cups of tea and now I've got rustle up a breakfast

To be fair though she's awesome as a GF, she insists that nothing is spent on Valentines day as it's all a con anyway and she would rather we have made eachother cards, she even laughed at the Tesco Value one a few years back

Oh **** yeah, I gotta make a card, d'oh.

I'm happy. I was happy enough single and I'm very happy now as part of a couple. I'm an only child so am used to my own company, and need to be with someone who can give me that now and again and who can let me just go and spend a few days away with my Mum or with friends without giving me hassle about it. On the other hand, I'm a ball of contradictions and if I need company, I need it, lots of it, and I know I can be really annoying when I'm bouncy and really bring other people down when I'm feeling depressed. I suspect I'm not easy at all to live with.

I do enjoy being in a relationship, however unless it's 100%, I'm outta there. I don't settle, so I will usually be happy when I'm with someone as if I don't think it's working, I don't waste my time. I've seen people I care about throw years and years away because they are scared to be single. Better to be single than settle for less, I say. I'm a bit harsh I know, but you only get one life and I wasted enough of my younger years on arseholes and people who didn't deserve me.

I get flowers on an almost weekly basis - in fact the only time I insist I don't get them is around now - when they're ridiculously expensive. So tomorrow we might go out and buy a nice bunch of roses, when the price has dropped again.

So far I've had a card & breakfast, but then I'm a very lucky girl and get looked after like a Princess anyway

I think Dogma had it right on the nose. I don't want to be with someone because they need me or I need them. I want to be with them because we want to be together. In the words of Alanis, I'm not half of anyone else (although I may refer to him as the OH

), I'm a whole person in my own right, I can manage on my own and I expect the same of my partner. I believe that 1 and 1 makes 2 - and that's the way it should be!

Not bothered about being single its fun, you can do what you want pretty much. Was out last night and was getting a lot more attention than I've had for years. Apparently stopping caring and just enjoying yourself is the key...who knew?!
Plus this morning I'm in no mood for people so being single is a good thing.

I'm happy to be single, and to have been for most of my life. Like Desmo it's never really bothered me. If something happens then great but I'm not all that fussed. Valentine's Day isn't something I've ever felt the need to be part of and I don't feel any worse today than any other day!

Haly · 14-02-2010, 14:07

Quite happy being single which is fortunate as I have been for a few years now.

Certainly not going out of my way to meet someone. I figure if it happens, it happens. Life's complicated as it is at the moment though

All that matters imo is to be happy with your situation regardless of whether you're in a relationship or not.

Never been fussed in the slightest about Valentine's Day, it's just another day as far as I'm concerned.

When I was single some time ago I used to just not find Valentine's Day of any relevance to me; probably comparable to how St.Davids Day or the start of Rammadan can pass by with my being aware, but it having no relevance.

Since being in a relationship with PG I enjoy Valentines day as it happens to fall on our 'half year anniversary' (yes I know after 3 years they probably shouldn't exist but pah! Any excuse for a mini-celebration!

)

We are quite excitable people, and although we enjoy every day we spend together, it's another opportunity to stand back and reflect upon the time we have spent together etc. Neither of us go in for the oversized, heart-wielding teddies or overpriced february gifts but we exchange some gifts of thoughtful sentiments and usually try to execute a little bit of an extra pampering throughout the day

I think I speak for both of us when I say we don't feel we have to do anything for VD, but we enjoy doing it and as mentioned above, it's just another excuse for some fun and celebration!

Some abbreviations just aren't meant to be.

I guess I'm fairly happy being single at the moment, I certainly wouldn't mind being in a relationship but I don't feel the need to try and get into a relationship just to not be single.

I love Davey, I wouldn't have married him if I didn't

I was happy being single but I do enjoy having him around

As for Valentine's day, it's a load of bollocks!! I don't need one day a year to show Davey how much I love him. It's just a normal Sunday for us
