Do you ever wish you didn't feel the need?

Message 286 of 2461

I have talked to a lot of single men and women and one thing I hear time after time is "I love living alone and doing what I want, when I want, how and what I want."

Now that I have been single (not married or not living with anyone) I too have come to feel that way.

But there is this little need or is that want, that keeps popping it's head back in my heart/body/mind for the love of another.

Do you sometimes wish that need/want would disapear so you could just go on being content with your single life as it is now?

This could be a very dumb question, but hey give me a break, it isn't easy coming up with all these posts. LOL

If you did not feel the need to put up ten or more posts in a day it would be much easier for you Mary
one should not have to give up there freedom in order to live in a relationship.

Jeeze Mary, we all need to be loved and loving, even though it makes us vulnerable, is equally as important.

Come on Rewtoo, I wish I did put up 10 posts a day and it really isn't a "Need" it is a responsibilty when you start a group. And besides I'm not complaining, I love being creative and love keeping this group active so people continue to come here.

I am used to being single. Doesn't mean it's what I want. I'm content until someone interesting comes along and then, yes, I could easily see myself being part of a couple again.

I agree with AS....love does makes you vulnerable....but wanting to live single and have some independence doesn't mean you can't have love in your life. A loving relationship is what two people choose to make it....how it plays out in our lives is up to us. My opinion...you don't need to to live with someone or be married to have a loving relationship. We all have have different wants when it comes to togetherness.
