Everyone says single is fun, but I guess I'm not interested in the same things. Sure, I am free to fuck anyone willing to have sex with me, but I'm really not that intrigued by such independence. Yes, it is nice to know that I CAN, but it doesn't mean that I DO. Unfortunately, I seem to be picky in that I would not sleep w/ a girl I wouldn't want to date. Of course, if I want to date them, I am not going to try to sleep w/ them, and they usually would not fuck on the first date anyway.
I've been single for pretty close to a year now. I dated my ex for almost two solid years, and we honestly had a pretty shitty relationship, in retrospect. Unfortunately, I didn't see how shitty it was until I went off for the summer and realized how much stress she caused me, and how much easier life was without her.
I'm ready for another relationship now; I'm just waiting until college (August) to work on that. The most difficult thing is not that I have been single for a year, but because I was taken for two. I'm starting to get a bit of game again, but I didn't have a ton to begin with (I was a sophomore in high school at that point), and dating a girl for two years really kills it. You don't practice, so you start to lose it. Thus, the hardest thing for me has been getting back in the groove of sort of showing off my personality to the opposite sex. As with everyone, I behave differently as my moods vary, and I try to expose girls to more than just one of the many facets of my persona.
Plus, aside from talking about school, majors, etc., I've forgotten a lot of the chit-chat bullshit small talk subjects.
