 Posted: Sun May 06, 2012 4:46 pm Post subject: Best way to deal with being single? |
 |
|
| I'm trying the best I can to deal with being single as a gay guy with really no nice guys around that would work best for me. What I do a lot is when I'm alone or in bed, I pretend there's a guy next to me a lot. I thank myself for not letting my desire of a relationship take over my life and I do at least value my friends and family. I'm going to college in august so I hope to find a wonderful guy for me :] What's the best way to deal with being single? |

| I spent a lot of time masturbating and throwing myself at cheap prospects. I don't recommend this as a viable option. |

I'm happy to be single. I wouldn't know what to do with a romantic relationship even if it fell on top of me.

| The best way to deal with being single is to try to enjoy it for the time being. For example, now that I'm in a relationship I have much less time for myself. To the OP: when you go to college you might want to check if the college has a lgbt-group. Groups are often much better for finding partners than bars |

You know, being in a relationship (or otherwise not single) isn't always that great. There are days where I wish I was in a relationship, but then I remember that there's good and sucky parts about being single, and good and sucky parts about being in a relationship.

I've found that I really have to be satisfied with myself before I can be successful in a new relationship. There are times when I feel lonely being single, but I try not to let that hold me back. Sometimes I see a movie or go out for dinner by myself and I even have a good time.
Have you looked into purchasing a body pillow? |

Don't necessarily set your hopes too high on that one. At my university the LGBT association was a disappointment. There was one other guy there who looked like the sort of person I might get along with (he looked to be East Indian, so I hope for his sake that he comes from a very liberal family). But one person wasn't enough to justify the discomfort of attending meetings. But that said, everywhere is different so hopefully you'll have better luck. |

I agree. this is one of the things that really has me discoraged about being in a relationship
Not that I'm a selfish person but more than likely If i was to find a partner male or female they would be NT.
NT's expect certain things from you and I come off at times as a cold callus individual with no heart even though that isnt true |
