Why does it seem like everyone is in a relationship or dating someone right now?

[Roses19870]

I’m not currently dating anyone due to personal choice and with how busy I am with my new job, personal training and Pilates/gym workouts every day for 2 hours, showing horses professionally, conferences I run in my industry, modeling, constant self development, etc. I’ve tried dating and going out but I really don’t enjoy it and find that it makes me more depressed and stuck than energized and hopeful. I just believe in waiting for an organic, natural meeting with the right guy. I am just feeling like my best self and going out with friends to events, etc. I feel honestly fine and know it’s all about timing and effort.
However, I just feel sort of weird sometimes because I feel like so many people I see even at the gym, out and about, everywhere are either dating, seeing, or in a relationship with someone. Is it because of cuffing season, Valentine’s Day coming up, or am I just noticing it?
honestly I’m happy being single at this point in my life. It just feels like it’s the norm to always be like actively dating.

Maybe it's this "phenomenon" that you desire what you do not have (at the moment). I'm not hinting at the possibility of you secretly wanting a relationship, but it happens with so many things. Girls with curly hair want straight hair or the other way around, same goes with freckles or even in kindergarten, when you wanted to play with toys your friends had, just because they had them and you did not, and it seemed interesting to you. It sounds stupid I know, but that's just what popped into my head right away. You are probably noticing so many couples because you decided you are not ready for a relationship at the moment and are internally processing this decision. I hope this makes sense to you. :)

There’s only one guy I would like to get to know right now with the possibility of it ever turning into something serious. However I don’t see him much so it’s sad :( I don't know I don’t really know how to date, only know how to seduce haha.

I’m not sure. But you’re totally cool being single.

[Roses19870]

I honestly like it. I am really happy just working on myself and keeping myself really active. A lot of my friends are in relationships but we still hang out :-)

[Gwenhwyfar]

That’s great! Do you ever miss the sexual part?

[Roses19870]

Yeah 100% but when I meet the right guy I’m in love with who loves me it’ll be worth waiting for. I’d rather kind of deprive myself of it so it feels even more amplified by the time I’m with him.

That’s perfect! Have fun girl 😊. Hope you meet the right guy.

I'm definitely not since my time is to occupied with other things I do.
