Search Results: getting into a relationship

29F & I’ve known a few people throughout my life that just hate doing things alone. Whether it’d be those people that jump from one relationship to the next or those people that just need some kind of company when it comes to doing everyday things (getting lunch, going shopping etc). I’m not sure if I just feel this frustration for those kinds of people because I wonder how they’re capable of just jumping into new relationships so easily, some kind of jealousy? At the same time, I wouldn’t feel happy with myself if I just disliked my own company that much & constantly needed someone there to fill that void, whether it’s romantic or platonic company. I’m very much a loner & have been single for pretty much my whole life, I feel like I’m at the point where I’m so used to it that a man will REALLY need to knock off my socks in order for me to consider dating him. In other words, I’ve done everything on my own including living alone etc, will adding a man to my life be that beneficial? This isn’t meant to sound feminist, I feel like I also question these kinds of codependent people because my mom may be one of them, yes she’s independent but even she’s admitted that she hates doing things alone. Thoughts? And when I say they’re *weak*, I’m talking specifically about this aspect of their life & not overall.

Are you desperately trying to stay single?

My mum called me out of the blue to check up on me and asked how work was going. I told her everything was fine and that there was nothing new to my life, she then tried to do the whole “slip in question” asking me when are you going to see someone and start dating and getting married and giving me grandchildren.

Look i know she means well i really do, but i’m not interested to commit to anyone yet.

Do you feel the same? Parents harassing you about it? Maybe your friends are in a different stage in their life and want to wish you the same joy that they are, but you are frankly ain’t interested at all yet?

Or are you the exact opposite and trying to desperately get into a relationship?
