Like you're done with hoping for "the one" or you're tired with the dating game and all that.
Have you ever felt you're going to be forever alone ? How come ?
"Some say love
It is a razor
That leads your soul to bleed."
Yes of course. But the need for the o/Other is everlasting and recurrent. So I must go on. That's my take on your question MissMovingOn.
Yes and it's a feeling of relief.
I have just the opposite reaction. I'm NEVER alone, and sometimes I crave solitude! I'm a very outgoing person, but I also have an introspective side, which is why I practice meditation as often as I can. But I relish every moment when I can be alone because I so seldom get them.
the old cliche of being in a room full of people and feeling lonely.
but I will say this, loneliness, I have learned is a thought, or learned emotion.
I get like that at times, and I suspect that is why many here in lush are here...
I do not mind been alone rather than be with the wrong person next to me...
I have been single for three years, five if you don't count the short six months I was with my ex a few years ago. I truly hate being single. I've done the online dating and it always ends with heart break and tears. I'm tired of all that noise. I want something true, but I don't believe I'm going to find someone to be with. I honestly think I'm going to be single forever.

Interesting question, MissMovingOn!
First of all, people who have only been "alone" for a few months don't really understand those who have been alone for years (plural - more than a year).
Sometimes, being alone is a choice, other times it's not.
When one is under the age of 40 .... the opportunity for a significant other to come along is much greater than those over the age of 40.
Are there soulmates ... or a soulmate for every person? Personally, I don't believe that. It would be a nice thing, but most people don't wait for that soul mate to arrive and instead settle for something/someone that they think could be.
I remember a divorced woman telling me .... "personally I think it's better to be alone and happy than married (or with someone) and miserable."
I prefer to be alone and happy than married and miserable.

Yes, and after more than a decade of it, I have fairly convincing evidence! Originally it was by choice, now it's more a case of ... "Really? The dating scene? Too much like hard work. No thanks!" and I don't even bother. Yes, it would be nice to have a partner, someone to share life with, but am happy not having the responsibility that goes along with that. I'm not desperate, and am not interested in someone who is, so I guess I'm fairly resigned to the fact that that's where I'm at.
Yes, I have. When I was in 8 month relationship to my ex I thought we would be together for long ass while. Now, I'm not sure because I'm absolutely afraid of getting my hopes and heart broken again. I'm single for a little over a year now. It's getting to me. I'm not usually open about this topic either.
not at all. i'm a firm believer in timing. like attracts like, you put out vibes of love and goodwill and it's sure to follow.
I'm married right now and lonely as hell, hoping that someone will cross my path and wisk me away...
