Hey, it's not like I don't understand this. But, it's just that so many people seem to want a partner, like, right this minute that they forget that things like this take time and come when you least expect it. It's almost like trying to find your car keys (okay, it doesn't have to be car keys...but you know ); the more you look for it, the harder it is to find. And about the whole being alone thing, I can understand this, but I personally feel that being alone makes a person much stronger and less dependent on a person. And about the aching feeling of not being with the person you fall for...yes, this is painful. Of course, you'll never know if there might be someone better that comes along later.

I'm sure that most of you guys probably think I'm just this cold-hearted, unfeeling bitch that doesn't understand this, but I do. I didn't mean to come off cruel (sorry if you guys thought this), it's just I find it sad that many people get stressed over this when eventually, as Spank said, it will happen. And believe me, Uchiha, I've had my share of those "aching feelings of not being with a person you fall for." Of course, lucky for me, I know the person I'm liking at the moment doesn't fit me and belongs with someone else. For example, there was a guy I liked a few years ago but I knew, he didn't fit me. Later on, when he found the right girl and started going out with her, I was happy beyond all reason because they *fit* each other and looked like a very nice couple. So, I guess I'm saying that I get over these things rather quickly because I know I'm not someone who belongs with anyone.

I would give the world to have someone who would come to ME and tell me their problems, just so i could comfort them. You don't get that when your single...

These are all true and I don't deny it. But, sad thing is, there are some people who can't find a person to be with (now people, I'm not talking about anyone on here) so they would have to cry on their own shoulder, take care of themselves, rely on themselves. It is sad, but I also think a person can be happiest this way...because you're not a burden on anyone. Eventually, if a person is alone for a long amount of time, that person begins/will accept that and learn not to be sad or afraid or lonely. But, this depends on the person.
