Well, here's a place for the single folk to post. It can be tough (what with freaking Valentine's Day comin up... die VD, die.). I know, cos I'm there. But hey, maybe you like it?

  There isn't a guy on the planet who likes me, and I'm completely fine with that. If there isn't a guy out there for me, then I guess I'll go it along. That's fine and dandy with me.

Oh, I'm sure there's a guy out there for you somewhere!  But I guess I have no business posting in this thread...lol.  I'm not single.   ;D

[LisaRocksYourWorld, yo]

I'm single, and definately not happy about it.  It's been getting to me lately.    I know I'll find someone eventually, but I don't want them EVENTUALLY, I want them NOW, darnit!

[Soleluna]

I am not happy being single... my last relationship lasted 8 months... he boke up with me 3 months ago and asked me  to forgive him after a month... I said I didn't like him anymore coz I'm too proud, and it wasn't gonna work, and now he's got another chica...

I am really unhappy

well, not that unhappy, it's just that today is VD and stuff...
well, I guess I'll survive...

I love being single, though I see a few guys casually. I'm just so fulfilled in the other areas of my life, I don;t feel unhappy without a man. I get a bit misty-eyed thinking about past relationships, but then I think NEXT!

[girlpoet21]

I'm single! And happy! I can do so much more, and totally be myself without worrying about a man. Yea!!!!  ;D

being single can be cool, but it sure can be lonely too.

[x.just.a.little.grL.x]

You guys, being single can be sooo great! I mean think, you get to flirt with whoever you want, whenever you want, you're never tied down and brought down by someone else, and you get to be independent. I love it, I mean sure a relationship can be nice, but I don't know if I want one. I've had chances and been in a few relationships, but sometimes it's pretty cool being on your own, ya know?

Great list....

[theLadyMadonna]

That is an awesome list!!

Actually though (ah yes, here it comes...) I was perfectly satisfied with being single until a week or so ago. Why you ask? Well, all my friends magically started hooking up. I'm always the third wheel now! It's very frustrating to try and talk to your friends when all they want to do is gush about so-and-so. Yes, I am offiicially disgruntled with the opposite gender
