I have been posting and getting some good advice so maybe I can get help with this one....
I haven't dated a guy in over three years. My whole family thinks I am a lesbian (which I don't find anything wrong with to each is own).... And they also think its unnatural for me to be alone that long and be happy about it. Is it normal to not feel the need to be in a relationship to be happy or am I just in denial of wanting to be in one? :wink:

If you're happy alone, more power to you. Don't let anyone convince you there's something wrong with that.

Every one is different and what makes people happy is different. Don't question why you are happy just enjoy it.

the only thing wrong is that your family doesnt trust in you enough to think you know whats best for you....

Though I am quite content alone there are times I think it would be nice to have someone special in my life.... but that thought passes quickly. I have been single for 13 years and the only serious relationship since then; it ended 8 years ago.

if you are at a point in your life where you are happy not to be in a relationship, then more power to you. i don't think there is anything wrong with that. and if you don't feel you are in denial, then you prolly arnt.

There is nothing wrong with you. I just started dating again after 3yrs. After a bad relationship I just took time for myself. Theres nothing wrong with being happily single. Date when you are ready to do so dont allow your family or anyone else to push you. You wont be happy dating if you dont want to.

There is nothing wrong with you being alone. I have been alone since July of 04, I am actually very content with my life the way it is. I don't think your in denial, you know how you feel. Its sad that your family thinks your a lesbian though...BUT if you were, that would be your choice.
I don't think there is anything wrong with being single, I actually think its very nice. I think more people should look for friends and then start a relationship from there!! Good luck and I do hope you find what you are looking for flowerforyou

I am a mom and also quite happy in my own company. For so many years my focus has been on my daughter but when I finally get some free time, honestly, a man is not the first thing I think of. I have books, friends, a garden, sewing projects..so many things to occupy myself that I don't feel like I am missing anything without that man thang happening. If it does, fine, if not, fine. I don't really invest a lot of energy into it.

In other words- you are fine the way you are.
