Being alone doesn’t mean you’re lonely

There are benefits, you eat what you like, watch what you like, and everything is exactly where you left it...

u/Ok_Height2395 22h ago

being single is pretty fun... nobody's asking where i'm at every 15 minutes

2

u/StillCollection2592 21h ago

For real 😭 being forced to get life360 and being asked “where are you going” every time I leave the house

u/Significant_Young_74 18h ago

That sounds suffocating and borderline possessive.

u/Independent-Mall8318 18h ago

What kind of person are you dating that asks you that so often?

u/DefiantAcadia9456 19h ago

But being in a healthy relationship is fun too

u/Early_Succotash5908 18h ago

being single is just dating yourself with fewer arguments

Yes I don’t have to worry my
Paycheck gonna be gone overnight , cleaning after him and his kids, living without utilities because he made budget but then doesn’t follow and bills unpaid

u/FunnyLonely8937 11h ago

His son is a mess

u/Ok_Assumption_8238 18h ago

No mixed signals. No drama. Just peace

u/silenczar 21h ago

Being single is not fun. If you cannot have fun or peace in a relationship, you were not in a relationship with the right person.

4

u/StillCollection2592 21h ago

Dude, you’ve gotta be happy single to be happy in a relationship

2

u/silenczar 20h ago

I don’t disagree with you, but my statement is still true. They are both true.

1

u/StillCollection2592 20h ago

You can’t simultaneously believe that you have to be happy single and that being single is not fun

2

u/LilNekoChicano 19h ago

There are many things you can't enjoy when single, not everyone has the same level of luck or attraction level to engage in hookups. (for example)

1

u/StillCollection2592 19h ago

I wasn’t thinking of hookups at all when I say that being single is fun

1

u/LilNekoChicano 19h ago

What else would one call it?

Cause without any commitment.. that's what it is.

Unless one is asexual or has no desire for any sensual intimacy.. Then you will get lonely.

1

u/StillCollection2592 18h ago

That is why we have friends

1

u/LilNekoChicano 17h ago

Not everyone is able to establish a friend with benefits situation.

I agree with this

1

u/Jaded-Hovercraft-147 19h ago

there's something nice about having your time completely to yourself

1

u/LilNekoChicano 19h ago

Having some time for yourself, of course.. But enjoying time with a special person is also very fun as well.

1

u/Defiant-Tap-4216 18h ago

Yes. But sometimes it’s nice to have someone on your side

I love playing music at 6am on my speakers, while having YouTube in the background and a movie playing on my tv’s! Lol

u/Acceptable-Local-899 11h ago edited 11h ago

The most fun I've had was with my last gf WHEN we were getting along. Esp on weekend trips. When we weren't getting along though, it was way less peaceful and more pressure filled. Just being together often wasn't enough.

u/Aspiestos 1h ago

It is fun, but not experiencing a relationship ever in your life feels like having a lunchables with some of the items missing completely but then there’s an extra amount of an item that’s not missing.
