Am I the only freak?

I like being married. I also like having my "girl time" with friends here and there. Hubby does his own thing with his buds as well. And, we're both confident enough that we can hang with the opposite sex and it not phase either of us. Pete and I have dates sometimes; he'll vouch for me!! :lol:

I keep hearing this phrase in various forms:

"I don't want to be alone. I need a companion."

Those words are invariably spoken by someone who has hooked up (or is in the process of hooking up) with someone they don't really know (or like) that much.

Am I the only weirdo who doesn't mind being "alone", and in fact prefers it to having to deal with someone who grates on my nerves because we're not compatible? Seriously, I only know one other person who is happy and busy being unattached. It seems that everyone else is trying to fit square pegs in round holes so they don't have to be "alone".

And I say "alone" in quotes because my life is active and I arrange down time to spend an evening on the couch in front of the TV with my dog. Don't other people do this, or must it be a constant whirlwind of human companionship? Am I just an anti-social freak with an overabundant lack of patience?

I asked the "I don't want to be alone" people and they assure me that, yes, I'm a freak :lol: and that most people want a companion, even if it's not the love of their life. It just seems to me that you'll never find the love of your life if you're involved with Mr. He'll Do, or even Mr. Meh Whatever. Not to mention that someone with whom you have very little in common isn't really a "companion" at all.

Of course I don't think you're a freak. :bann:

Divorced since 2005 - I have never been alone, since I have my kids.

"Relationship-wise", it's been a relatively drama free 7 years and I have not regretted that at all. For me, I think I am happy with the way it's been because I am comfortable with who I am and I'm a relatively happy, positive person. I have worked for everything I have, and it wasn't given or provided to me by someone else. So I don't "need" someone to make me happy or provide for me. I can do it all myself. I also like my alone time to do whatever I want to do.

However, I also have plenty of friends and love to do things with them when I want to or have opportunity to. And now that the Things are older, they really don't care when I've gone out with friends, etc. In fact they like it! :jet:
