I bumped into couple from my workplace on my last Sunday bike ride. After we said hi to each other, the first thing they asked was "You're Alone?". Half the time they're asking this with dripping incredulity that I could be spending time outside on my own. The rest of the time they give me that "What a sad, sad lonely boy" look.
Hallo brother! I've been single this long you'd think I've never learnt to appreciate time with myself is it??!! Doing things for myself and let things run free through my head. Married couples are always complaining about personal space and what not. As long as I'm still single I'm not going to say cooped up in my house, if none of my friends are free to do things with. I spend at least an evening a week having some personal time at some coffee place curing up with my book.
Yes I'm alone, So What!? I enjoy the time I spend alone because I get to be comfortable with myself. I'm not sure how many people out there can say that about themselves.
People mistake this as the reason I'm still single. No, I don't want to stay single too long, I've seen the effects, you get less comfortable around other people and tolerate them less. It's a vicious cycle. You tend to stay more alone after that. I would love to have someone to spend my evenings with in future, but for now I make good company for myself.
