Re: How Long Have You Been Single? (The Brand-Spankin' New & Updated 2017 Version!)
I'm single and have been from the beginning, so single by all definitions. And I honestly have no intention of changing that currently.
The thought of another person relying on me or looking to me for anything, whether it may be support, attention, or help, is repugnant. Strong feelings, I know, but I'm already attempting to wean folks from asking things of me and certainly not looking to add to their numbers.
But, I've always been the odd man out. When I was in my teens, I put dating off till college. During college, I felt more comfortable with concentrating on school and work. Afterwards, I wasn't interested in any of the offers and wasn't going to force it. I'm reaching the age where I'm supposed to feel the desperation to get married and have kids but the option still isn't all that attractive. I like my simple life and entanglements are more on the to be avoided end of the scale for me.
