Being single is ghey, why is it that girls these days don't want relationships?

Exactly....I think relationships are a matter of luck and timing. Finding the right person is hard, finding the right time is hard, having both these factors combine.....well I'm surprised there's anyone in a successful relationship!!
mmmm...I don't like those odds.

Cosmo also said snakeskin was a great fashion idea....
Singleness isn't all bad but sometimes I just want to be with someone who knows me well enough to finish my sentences. But then when I do meet someone like that, they bug me. I don't even know what I want so it doesn't really matter if I'm actively looking for a partner or not!
Besides....you never find that perfect person until you stop looking. I just think if you're really desperate to find someone then you end up creating a false perception of a person so they fit to your ideals. We blur reality so we can fool ourselves into thinking that they really are perfect.
If you aren't looking on the other hand, and someone does catch your eye, then it means there must be something really, really special about them.

Agree with all of your post Tarsy, but this bit above in particular sum it up I guess - everyone knows what they want, it just has to be the right mix of wonderful qualities and tolerable flaws for a relationship to work. Some things you can ignore if the person is incredible in other ways. And you should ignore too - relationships end up being about expectations, and therefore compromise should follow if it's going to work. I think a lot of people spend a lot of time working out that the compromise bit is needed.![]()
*hugs* to all the single BLs!Specially if you're sad today! (I know I shouldn't be too discriminatory with my hugs, but today I'm feeling biased
