I would like a relationship, sure but I wouldn't mind being single for a while either. Which is weird for me. I guess I'm trying to figure out who I am first and work out my own issues before getting someone else involved. If someone comes along, yay! If not, oh well.

Recently came out of a failed relationship... when it was over it was told that I "seemed to have never cared"... my understanding in my own mind... was that my desire to satisfy myself with "alone time" contrasted to the her desire to spend (a ridiculous amount of) time together... which was making me uncomfortable... there were many other contributing factors... but not caring wasn't one of them...
having said that i guess i can understand how it would have seemed that way...

But since then i have been been put off relationships... completely lost interest ... it was actually my first and only serious relationship... now i cant imagine myself ever being in another one... the commitment translates into responsibility in my mind...

Im happy being single
However I do think that the right person would quickly change my mind...

I think I'd rather be single for a while.

I want a relationship and can probably find myself in one if I try hard enough. What I really have trouble attaining is a happy, healthy, long lasting relationship.

I don't care. I'm going to try not to sweat it either way - I'd rather be in no relationship at all than any old relationship with the wrong person.

I've had relationships in the past and after a 3 year break I feel I am ready to get back into the relationship game now.

Just a matter of finding the right person but will get there eventually :)

Personally I find that no matter what if your single or in a relationship your still in a relationship.
Now please bear with me with my crazy thinking, am a maverick now from a family of mavericks :lol:

We have an relationship with ourselves now, that knowledge breaks the illusion of being single and being alone! This self friendship is the key factor IHMO to all social interactions we have in life.

Me as my best friend sometimes get on great with me as I, tho theres times that I and my best friend self can be the worst of enemies at times. Hell yer, its not perfect I still keep working on the relationship I have with myself. As that same personal relationship we have with ourselves helps with the other relationships we have with others.

Plato once said know thyself, I say be a friend to thyself, show loving kindness to thyself and take thyself out on a date!

The only person in the whole world you can change is you! When you make changes then other people start to change the way they relate to you!

SO please remember this fact your always in a relationship this relationship is your relationship with yourself!!

I'd like to be in a relationship. I absolutely do not want to spend my life alone, as I'd probably die of boredom.

I never meet the guy so I can't pass judgement on him now, unless your assuming am passing judgement based on your experiences of the man. The language you did use did give me the impression that you were making deconstructive criticism. May be you need to choice how you word that in the future, please take that as health constructive criticism now.

Thats only my feedback its you choice what you do with it now!
