I'm honestly not surprised but also surprised by the results? Aside from the results, I could see why being single is great, but I've been with my boyfriend for 4 years now and things have been great, and really always has been. No real arguments tbh, except over food lol. It's just really nice to have someone to share common interests with. And I also don't see being in a relationship as being a burden in my life so far at least, just because we're both pretty independent people focusing on our future careers since we've been together since my senior year of high school and now it's my last year of college.

I think if you can find someone that respects you as well as themselves, then you can have a relationship with not too much burden, especially if you like talking to that person even if you're long distance, maintaining a relationship doesn't seem like much a burden. But that's only if you can find the right partner for you.

That being said, you can think you have the right partner at the time, but it not being the actual reality you want. Tough world out there, I guess I got lucky.

I've never been in a relationship, I don't think I ever will. I'm fine with accepting that fact, I feel as if I'm destined to not find someone. There have been people I drifted away from due to this fact, but I think that it's the best choice. That being said, some people don't want to be in a relationship usually due to past experiences from breakups. I was lucky enough to not even have to step into a relationship to find that out myself.

Yeah, that's totally fine. TBH, I didn't think I needed anyone back then too bc anime, manga, webcomics, shows, games, etc. were enough to entertain me and I didn't maintain relationships with friends much, since I had parents that didn't exactly let me go out anytime and I didn't see anyone as "close friends" even though I was very sociable and did sports. Actually, I already had and still have a list of series I want to cover in retirement and thought I didn't have time for people especially with the career path I wanted to enter (medical bc basically anyone in the medical field can say they dont have a life outside of work lol).

I just happen to develop feelings after rejecting someone twice, lucky for them I guess! I caved in. Anyways, nothing wrong with being single as long as you're happy! I was very happy while single, though now I'm so used to not being single, I'll imagine it hard for myself if ever break up with this person (gonna be harder in the future bc I'm entering the military... in January... anyway!). Again, if you're happy, that's awesome. Not everyone needs another person to be happy. I'm just going with the flow and if things don't work out, they don't and that's that.

I do think that other individuals, maybe you or not, think of themselves being single and a forever kind of thing and that there won't be a possibility of benig in a relationship bc X reasons, but if one has they mind open to anything, things could happen. Not saying everyone single is like this, but I've seen some friends shut themselves off from any possibilities relationship-wise, and just life choice-wise. Everyone is different, but if you're happy, I totally support you!

What branch of the military will you be entering into? Seems that your relationship might be difficult if he's not in the military either.

Sorry for not responding earlier. I just read both of your replies. Yeah, seeing someone go through puberty is basically their worst time so if you can survive them then, you can survive them later on lol. So true.

I'm joining the army to be a combat medic. I'm a bit worried just because I know he's the type of person that need attention. That being said, I'll be going off to training in January and won't be able to be in contact with him for 10 weeks (besides writing letters to him which take forever in themselves). He's in college in his junior year (just transferred into his university so he's still making new friends). I trust him, but at the same time, I DON'T trust the girls he would be around. Thankfully he doesn't really go out and party at all, but still. He attracts enough females, don't need anymore haha.

On the side note, I've kept our relationship a secret from my parents for 4 years. My parents just found out and it's taken some time to ease them into the news. Thankfully this happened around a time when my mom and her family friend were talking about how her daughter just got a bf so I think my mom became more flexible with the idea. So at least now I can visit him at college this semester. If it wasn't for this turn of events, I wouldn't have seen him this semester and neither next semester, which is hell of a long time lol

Good for you! Hope everything goes well, the prime foundations of strong relationships is trust.

Lots of single pringles, here!

As for me, celibacy is something that I'm looking into. Relationships can harbor some emotional baggage, and that isn't something that I'm about, man. Got my own issues to work out.

Relationships can be beautiful, sweet, and fullfilling in all forms. It can also be the opposite. Going to be vulnerable here, but I'm always worried about whether I'm wasting my time with someone who'll eventually leave me.

I've always worked solo, too. To be honest, the single life has been working well for me.

I may meet the right one someday, but time can tell. Haha
