To go back tot he original question.I am single and not looking. I really like being single, just for the little things. I am a sucker for pampering, and when I get hte chance I blow lots on my ladies, so not having one means I have the cash and TIME to myself. Just in the past 2 years I have been single, I have bought 2 new trucks, another house, and built a huge "man box" (garage/workshop) for me to play in. Those are the big ticket items. Aside from those, I generally live to love hte small things. I go out to eat almost every meal. I get to watch whatever i want to on TV. I don't have to change clothes when I come home from work, so I am not "stinking up the house." I sprawl out carelessly across the bed, and I always leave the toilet seat up. I am 1 step away from having a urinal installed in my bathroom. There is already one installed in the "man box." it's just a more wreckless lifestyle, that I could not have being in a relationship. Would I drop everything if I met that "oh-so-sweet/she's the one" girl? You bet!! I am just not going to go out and try to force her into existing. If she is not in my life tomorrow, I can wait. Sometimes though, I must admit, it is nice having someone to have to put the toilet seat down for. It is nice to keep half the bed warm and properly made(with clean linen) for another soul. It is nice to do small things and feel good about sharing a life with someone. Those things are nice. Very nice...I can't bring myself to try to force those things to happen. Bad things happen when you force a situation. One time, I forced a door handle and it broke off. I wouldn't want to break off a living, wonderful woman, because I felt impatient and forceful.Would you?
