CyricZ 10/15/20 2:42:29 PM #20:	looks up sighs drums desk I've always been a pretty solitary person. Even when living with other people (largely my parents) I'd keep to myself for the most part. I've been living on my own for the past three years now and have had no relationship in those three years. That's not to say I don't get lonely, and that's not to say I haven't tried to find a relationship. I've had a few relationships in the past, but none lasting longer than a year apart from one. Perhaps my methods are poor or I'm just not presenting myself to my full capacity, but even when I do make an effort, it always takes a long time for me to make a connection that sticks. And I mean months or years long time. I want a companion, and someone to share my life with, but I'm not so needy of it that I'll despair if I'm not in a relationship. I'm kind of a mess is all. :) --- CyricZ <cite>CyricZ posted [p:945888874] in This might... [t:79042142]...</cite> <quote>looks up sighs drums desk I've always been a pretty solitary person.

TheLiarParadox 10/15/20 3:03:09 PM #27:	I don't necessarily prefer to be single but I do not prefer to be in a long term monogamous relationship. Being single is definitely the better of the two. I prefer to be a serial dater with a different partner every year or so, someone who knows this isn't forever, so we're just going to have as much fun as possible with as little stress and heartache as possible, with no expectation that we're going to weather any storms or go the distance or anything like that. And if it's not working out, it's not worth fighting for and we can just have an amicable, uneventful separation. I've been doing this for the past few years and it's been so much better than trying to find that one true thing. --- Spongebob is not a contraceptive. <cite>TheLiarParadox posted [p:945889635] in This might...
