The way our current Government is going, by the time you need it they'll have done away with it altogeher and brought in mandatory euthanasia instead

Or replace the motor industry with factories manufacturing Soilent Green.

I've read this a few times now. It's the most profound thing I've read from you Joz'. I've read the other response and that still hasn't contradicted your assertion.  You get one of my rare Kudos. 

THe question is not can you still be happy being single.

Guess I can just say I'm glad that I was finally left with a scar

I prefer being single and I'm happier when I'm single (after the first flush of love is over). I've had plenty of people over the years tell me it's because I haven't met the 'right' one, I'm a little cynical about that. Being in a relationship means making sacrifices for the other person (and they for you) I would have to feel very strongly for someone to do that.

I could list numerous reasons why I choose to be single but to summarise it - independance.

But that's exactly the point. If you found someone who is compatible and you still can have your independence, would you still choose to be single????

Am"3 - when a guy has carried on too much it's because although I love them - I don't like to lose my identity and after a while - the thing they loved about me from start, well they try to change me. I am an attractive 37 year old - I pick and choose who has enough confidence to go the ride with me

What does being 'independent' in a relationship mean to you Bob?

Can you be independent ( go out by yourself engaging in activities (sports etc), visiting friends etc when you feel like it, keep all your own income seperate apart from bills etc) in a relationship?

What is the point of being in a relationship if your main wish is to remain independent?

I am not suggesting couples have to spend every minute together and never be apart.

Sounds like you just want to use men when it suits you georgia and discard them when you are over them (not said in an insulting way).

[georgiajake2010]

Oh and Am"3, I love how you read my post but totally twisted it around to suit your response LMAO old duck

[cherry*135]

It was my intrepretation of your post .. I wouldn't say I twisted your words. It is quite apparent men in your life are there on your terms only and ditched if they don't agree with what you want. Quack Quack.
