To all singles out there, do you miss being a part of a couple?

Most of us have experienced loving someone and being loved in return. It's a 'couple' thing when two people mutually feel the same way for each other and decide to commit to each other by having a relationship. I'm still single and the last relationship I had was with my daughter's father almost 6 years ago. I didn't have any other relationship after that, either serious or just for fun. I've lost interest in actively seeking for a new partner to get to know to, to spend time with and consider building my future with. I've concentrated mainly on being a mother to my daughter. However, I miss those times when I was part of a 'couple'. I miss the high that I get whenever I am in love. It can be the greatest and most unexplainable feeling you can ever get. I miss sharing a lot of things with a someone special. How about you? Do you miss being in a relationship? What do you miss the most now that you're still single? Please do share what you think. :)

Well, to be honest I haven't got a boyfriend since birth. I'm already 25 and I haven't experience being a part of a couple. I think you won't believe me, It's up to you. It's my choice back then because I'm still in college that time and busy with my studies but now I graduated, I just thought about that and wanting to have someone who I will love and love me in return. I have tutors but I don't like them. I think it will come for me when it is the right time. So, don't lose hope. They are out there somewhere.

I believe you. I believe that there are people like you who chooses to wait for the right person and the right time. Just believe that God will send the perfect partner for you soon. Goodluck! :)

Thanks. But sometimes I feel I envy them, specially when I see them happy and sweet. I hope that I will not be an oldmaid someday. Cross my fingers. LOL

I don't actually miss being part of a couple...yet. I guess it's because I am so busy with my work and in raising my children. There are times that I wish that there is someone whom I could share my responsibilities with but that is just the extent of my 'wanting' and nothing more. I have been separated for over a year only and I feel that it is too soon for another relationship and my experience left very little to be desired that I just don't want another repeat and all those stress that comes with it.

I know the feeling. I'm also busy with work and my daughter that I don't find time to actually search for someone. It's been five years but I feel too tired to get to know someone all over again and go through all the emotional roller coaster I've been through. But when I see couples, I can't help but wonder when will my time be to fall in love again. Last I remember it's a wonderful feeling. But when it turns sour and painful, it's something you wouldn't wish to have again soon. Best of luck to both of us. Thanks for sharing. :)

I have been single for 11 years now, and really don't miss being part of a couple. I have not been seeking, and really have no interest in becoming part of a couple again.

I appreciate your honesty. Very few can stand the thought of being single, and it takes strength and dispositon to be one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
