Being alone becomes a much less frightening idea after a couple of truly bad relationships.

I can see that being the case, but imagine this for a second: Finding someone who is the best thing that has ever happened to you. You can have a nice conversation with them after a long day, and you two can connect on almost every detail. Obviously you have your differences, as two identical people is just boring, but you accept the differences and move on from that. You support them on their worst day, and they can support you during times that you're down and out. It might sound very unlikely, but that's something that I want. True Love. Call me a hopeless romantic, but why can't I have that one pure happy moment?
This is the reason I refuse to accept being alone as an answer. There's always love out there, you just have to look for it. It's scary, as you are going to get hurt along the way, but the ending completely justifies the major snags you hit on the road there.
I guess what I'm saying is that I think people underestimate not only how much goes into keeping a relationship together and how exhausting in every sense of the word a bad relationship can be, but how much they have to their name even when they don't have someone to love. As long as I'm single, that space is free for a great person when they show up. It doesn't bother me that there's currently nobody, because I know how much worse things could be made if the wrong person occupied that space again. Some of the people I've dated make dying single look fantastic.
Realizing that a certain someone posted here about 3 days ago, I think I'll share. x:
Yes, I am currently in a relationship with the most amazing best friend. While it is a long-distance one, we're able to handle it pretty well. After all, I've met him on these very forums over three years ago, and that was the most meaningful gift I ever received. What was once a simple friendship grew and strengthened into an inseparable relationship, and we waited until the right time to be together. No matter the distance, we have proven to each other that love knows no boundaries.
However, when one or both of us can afford to travel, we do plan to meet somewhere in the future.
I understand the sentiment. I just think there's too much hype around relationships, and that people really don't appreciate how good it is to have the extra time and freedom to devote to themselves, to not have to put up with a significant other's baggage or attitude (especially if they're you know, pretty much insane), and to always have the opportunity to fill that space with someone - even if they're not exactly meeting a lot of people at the time.
As opposed to, you know, the more dramatic stances on the single life. I never appreciated the peace and quiet of it myself until I got away from someone who pressured me to get married and move in at the expense of my education as soon as I turned 18, threw passive-aggressive fits over me saying no, then stalked me online for three years after we broke up (he was married halfway through those three years, btw). Even if your significant other is a fairly normal human being, though, it's still a lot of work to take care of a relationship. Especially if it's long-term, because conflict and getting to know the less flattering side of someone is an unavoidable fact of these relationships.

It sucks being rejected.
I got rejected once, and after that I just went "Meh, screw love" and started focusing on school.
My grades actually got better.
It was even more embarrassing as the guy were a close friend of mine, and still is
It sucks being rejected.
No, but I wish I was in a relationship cuz I've been single for too long and it's really bothering me... I will have to hope that 2012 for me will be better than 2011 though.
For god's sake, you're what, 14? Cut out the hopeless crap. When you're 40 and single, then start to worry.i am hopeless
