Day 01
Day 01 - Your current relationship. If single, discuss how single life is.
I'll have to go with the single life on this one. For the most part, I don't mind being single all that much. It has its advantages at times. There is certainly lots of freedom that goes along with it. I've always been impulsive when it comes to some things, like deciding I should buy something or if I should move forward with an idea, but I've never been that spontaneous with the everyday events until fairly recently. I've definitely been inclined toward scheduling may day/week out; and while I still do, sometimes in great detail, I have been becoming more prone to throw that schedule aside and do something spur-of-the-moment. I'm sure this could continue to some extent in a relationship, but there is definitely more structure since you're working with two schedules instead of one.
As much as I miss the companionship and always having someone around, I really don't need it or thrive off it like some people do. In fact, I think I become rather complacent when I'm in a serious relationship.
But I DO miss the companionship and intimacy that goes along with being with someone. There's nothing better than falling asleep and waking up with someone you really care about.
Do I think I should be in a relationship right now? Probably not. It's not that I have too much on my plate right now--I've got school and the rest of the time I sit around at home--but I feel I need to get back in shape and lose weight so I actually feel attractive again. There are a couple girls I like right now, but I don't feel like I have a chance or good enough for them. Something I need to work on.
Another roadblock for me is that I'm kind of picky and it doesn't take much to dissuade me from someone. I still think this is a good thing to have, this filter, because I don't want to make the same mistakes I have made in the past.
Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with where my life is at. It's been a little over a year and a half since I've dated anyone, so being single has become the norm.
