Star Trek

Just general curiosity about how my fellow Trek fans feel about being single. Thoughts?

Even though I'm still young, I prefer being single. I'm not a social person. To be entirely honest, I prefer the company of animals to the company of another person. That's one thing I'm not sure about, the fact that I prefer being alone. It might be one of the odd traits of my family since the majority of my family is weird like that.

I love being alone- i'm extremely intorverted. As Audrey Hepburn put it, "I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone." That is EXACTLY how I feel! Lol I have to admit tho- being single get frustrating sometimes- but as Captain Janeway says in Fair Haven "I'm not about to climb up any trees if that's what you're asking" Lol

Happily single! I can see some advantages in having a partner, but never having had one, I´m not so sure they´d outweigh the disadvantages. My job (when I have one) is extremely social, so when I´m home, I, too, like to be left alone. Recharging my social batteries.

Nah. My rabbit is excellent company!

Our society still holds on to the antiquated notion that one must get married and start pumping out spawn as soon as possible.

I grew up in an area where I was placed under tremendous pressure by family and friends to do just this. So much so that every date I went on, the woman sensed my desperation to get into a serious relationship and got turned off by it.

I was treated like I was either gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) or a pedophile. Married "friends" didn't want me around, and I was constantly hounded by family to find a wife.

I eventually moved far away, and lo and behold being single was fun! I was a confirmed bachelor until I was 35 when my wife got her hooks in me.

Neutrally single, I must say.

I'm currently not single, but when I am I love it.
Not settling on one guy kinda takes the pressure off a bit and it gives me the oppurtunity to meet different kinds of guys.

Spent most of my adult life in two seperate relationships, One was a marriage of 13yrs, the other an LTR of 8yrs. Been single for the past 5yrs and, althought it wasn't easy at first, I've become quite happy at being 100% of me and not 50% of we. One advantage is being able to scratching where it itches when it itches. One disadvantage, cold sheets.

I live with DNesh.

We are not married.

No.

Love your avatar BTW.

I can also relate to your post. The part with the pushing anyways.

Recently I had some relations that tryed to hook me up with a guy a bit older then me but as always fixed relations never work for me. I must be the one to choose. People always think they know every thing about me but they don't. There are certain things I tell only to close people and its been awhile since that happened.

But for most part it would be nice to find some relations but I now that's rare. They might as well be on a distant planet some place on the other side of the universe.  :\

I love "100% of me and not 50% of we"

that's great.

Oh, so because we're Trek nerds you automatically assume we're single .

I really don't know how to feel about being single. I am a bit of a loner in general, so I guess it doesn't get to me as much as it gets to other people. At the same time, there are moments where I wish I had a significant other. Still, at this point in my life, I'm confident being single is the best thing for me right now. I can relate to McCoy's luck with women; the only girl I ever dated turned out to be a vampiric monster . He is of course also twice divorced, so I guess he has had some luck with women.

That is yet to be determined.
