It's...I feel the same way that you do Arianne! It's great to know that there are other people out there who get it! Haha, a lot of the reasons you listed are so similar to my list. Ultimately what it comes down to for me is that I want to do things that I want to do. I don't want to have to be accountable to a significant other for so many things. I'm still young, I'm graduating this year, I want to be the best person that I could possibly be by myself, before I want to think about being with someone else.

I've been with my husband for 20 years and married 15 of those years. I love him and he is great in so many ways, but at times he can be pain in the butt. In my next life, I will find somebody who is happy and carefree, not a Mr. Crankypants or I will just remain single. Who needs the headaches, when there's some hunky hero in a good book to curl up with.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617703024435584208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604117029072574569.post-14815938292265678042012-11-08T10:42:42.064-08:002012-11-08T10:42:42.064-08:00Great blog Arianne!!!

I was my own party! :)<br /><br />You definitely need to be happy with yourself because no other person can fill that void of self-love... When/if you do find a guy someday, you'll be in a much better place to not need his approval because you're already your biggest fan! :)<br /><br />LisaLisa Kesslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209324744019368067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604117029072574569.post-78647386574232993812012-11-08T10:11:06.657-08:002012-11-08T10:11:06.657-08:00yeah, there are days when I just want to crawl int...yeah, there are days when I just want to crawl into my bed and be in solitude for a couple days.Ariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010201524640381070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604117029072574569.post-7814439388647569372012-11-08T10:10:42.153-08:002012-11-08T10:10:42.153-08:00That man who is perfectly happy to sit at home wit...That man who is perfectly happy to sit at home with his wife in the weekend is both my uncles :D So, they DO exist!Ariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010201524640381070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604117029072574569.post-47706616277397681912012-11-08T10:10:03.903-08:002012-11-08T10:10:03.903-08:00Being alone means no drama.

I love being alone and much prefer my own company to that of anyone else for extended periods of time. Being alone gives me time to decompress and do what I want whenever I want after spending the entire day surrounded by (and having to deal with) people.CMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993344732509618167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604117029072574569.post-69991163640286870522012-11-08T09:59:40.370-08:002012-11-08T09:59:40.370-08:00You are not alone Arianne!

It's not that I can't or won't get a boyfriend, it's just that I haven't met very men many who capture my attention. Like you I am perfectly content with my books, job, friends and family who keep me busy enough. And you're right being a long doesn't mean I'm lonely. I hate when folks assume that. Honestly, if I could meet a guy who was perfectly happy with sitting quietly at home all weekend then I would be happy. I guess over the years I've become more and more of a homebody and I hate leaving the house when there are just so many books I could be reading at home or spending hours on the net. HAHAHA.
