I consider myself generally happy. I have a great job, amazing kids and a wonderful supportive family. Do I feel like something is missing? Absolutely. All of the other things in my life don't change the fact that I crave someone to share all of it with. I believe humans are meant to be paired up. We desire another human being to share all of life's ups and downs with. I can be happy alone. I would be happier with someone to share my life with.

I was going to reply and say something, but shortfire took my answer lol.
Things are better when you have someone to share them with, y'know?
No one's an island and all that...

Yep, I think shortfire hit it.

I've been reading you guys for years, some of you, and don't buy that your not in hope mode. I say that in love. You might have learned to cope but that love candle would light up in a second if cupid threw you a match.

You may be set in your ways and not want that to change, but if they came walking through that mingle door you'd have on those 3D glasses so fast you'd be stumbling over yourself to get to stealth mode lol.

And what's wrong with that? Not a thing.

Yep, it is better when you share with someone as that is what friends and family are. Don't need a lover for that. Relationships just get in the way of your fun.

I dunnooo. Having a lover is awesome just as long as you fit each other good. But there's soooo many people and it could be that ONE little thing that pushes you away, forgetting all the things that attracted you in the first place.
I SHOULD have said having a lover to share things with is awesome etc. etc. etc...
You can only connect with family and friends to a point, after that, it gets a lil creepy

If all you're looking for is fun, then yeah, you should probably stay out of relationship country. Things could get messy lol

am happy buh i wanna be more happier

Just because some people need relationships to be happy, it does not mean everyone is that way. Does that mean they're telling a lie when they say they're happy and complete on their own? Of course not. This is another instance where when you need to realize that everyone is different and may not feel exactly the way you do.

Speaking for myself only, I never meant that I'm an island. Do I enjoy being with someone? Absolutely. Does that mean I am not happy unless I'm in a relationship? Of course not.

I am optimistic that if I had a woman in my life to love, my life would suck a little less.

I agree with this. Some of us have lives beyond relationships. Personally; I am so busy that I just don't have time for a relationship and also is why I don't spend much time here anymore. Its called living and you don't need to be coupled up to enjoy life. That is just old fashioned thinking.

I'm a whole person on my own, outside of a relationship, and I'm perfectly capable of enjoying my life as a single person.

But I am even happier when I am in a good relationship. Having someone to share life with is a blessing, and one I crave. So I guess that means I'm happier in a relationship than alone, as long as the relationship is a healthy one.

I just like the steady tail! Sex is like a misdemeanor the more you MIS DE MEANOR you get

" I firm ly believed than I.....

didn't need anybody but me

I sincerely thought I was so complement

Look how wrong ya can be"

Some days I believe I don't need a man to be happy and there i take it back. Like when I come home and im used to sharing how my day went and have no one to tell. Or during rainstirms which was always cuddle time or the worse. Bedtime. Its little things for me because im an affectionate person and want someone to share it with. And it feels lonely not having it.

What if the sky falls?
I'll call Chicken Little that's what!

I like my life right now. I actually have this fear that if I meet someone and start another relationship my life might start to suck again.

Hii ... I want a hot gf

I don't think being able to be happy on your own necessarily means you're set in your ways. I also don't think it means you don't enjoy being with someone, either. It just means you're happy with yourself and able to enjoy your life whether you're single, or in a relationship.

Yes, there are some out there who are not happy on their own. They don't handle things well when they're single. They're much happier in a relationship. Those people also tend to be the ones who drop their friends the moment they're in a relationship. They only go out when their other half goes out. Otherwise, you never see them.

Then there are those who are happy on their own. They have friends, and get out, enjoying life. When they're dating someone, they just add that person into their life and continue on. It doesn't change a whole lot. That person just supplements their life.

:) good day
