Enjoy being single

I’ve basically been single my whole life. I know I’m only sixteen, but it’s still bothersome. I’ve only had one boyfriend, but that only lasted a few days, so that wasn’t a true relationship. I’m looking for a prom date, but I don’t think I’ll find that one special guy (considering I’m very picky when it comes to guys). I’m going to try and enjoy being alone, and maybe college will be different. 2 days ago

My days are full, and I’m doing a lot of nice things: at the theatre, climbing, hosting couchsurfers… But there’s one thing I’m missing a lot: human touch. Can I find that while being single? Or do I need to seek for a relationship? 2 weeks ago

but i hope i find that special someone someday and since i’m not looking i’m supposedly more likely to find someone 2 weeks ago

I don’t have to be completely responsible for anyone else yet 4 weeks ago

it will be better when i move out but at least my parents aren’t home much since they help my grandmother and aunt practically all the time 1 month ago

more or less and i think that’s awesome 1 month ago

that i can do what i want went i want to 2 months ago

Sometimes i really want to find someone 2 months ago

I think there’s a new state I’m landing in called “Accepting being single unless some as-yet-unanticipated-friend grows into something I am just really no longer expecting.
It’s not so much enjoying being single as enjoying life and not making any assumption (or being particularly interested in pursuing) that I’ll find myself in a Relationship.
I’m much more interested for now in having a home that I enjoy and getting out and enjoying friendships around sport, music, work & family. 5 months ago

So i know one of my goals is ‘have a fantastic boyfriend’, but until then, i’ve got to learn to like being on my own. I’ve been single for a bit over a year now and i’ve found it pretty difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I am so glad to be out of my terrible 6 year relationship! but going from that to being completely on my own has been a really challenging thing for me.

So the plan is to just work on me. Get this ‘career’ going, keeping building my friendships, go out partying, and i can travel the world without worrying about a partner.
