[Nowhere Man]

I guess it's all in our perspective. I've grown to enjoy singlehood. I'm so busy with school and work, I don't think I would have enough time for a relationship. Plus, I've slept in my own bed by myself for so long, I don't know what I'd do if I had to share it. LOL! I think I would rather be single for the rest of my life than be in a bad marriage. But, it's all personal opinion.

I see your point, if you do have a full plate in your life, it is best for a relationship of that type to wait. ik now in my case ,I'm trying to dig myself out of an economic funk so in my case, I have to slay a few of those demons before I can truly have the time, money and ability to commit myself to someone else. I think society in general and it's expectations along with relatives at times make people rush into those things. You know, "he's 30 or 40, why ain't he married" and to pacify the relatives and/or soicety, people might make bum decisions and they will mosy likely get stung and live with that the rest of their lives. It is like my best friend, I love him like a brother, been together since grade school, but he rushes into things like that and no matter how many times he got burnt, he still does. If you remember the cartoon, "The Tick," the logic of "The Tick" where he says, "leap before you look" would make a good description of my buddy when it comes to relationships.

I know that feeling. I've gotten a few "old maid" comments in the past. LOL!
