I'm so sick of people saying "You just haven't met the right person" when I tell them that I don't need or want love. I hear it on this site, I hear it from my friends, and I even hear it from my law teacher, for sobbing out loud. When people say that they don't want to fall in love, THEY MEAN IT. How hard is this for you people to understand? Why do you think everyone needs to be part of a couple?

I totally agree with you. Have been there and done that-Marriage/children- and now I prefer my own company best. When people try to get me to meet some man, my response is-Ain't got one, Don't want one, Don't need one. I did my time serving the needs of others now I do as I please, when I please, and how I please-AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.

Hey, they're just trying to be sure you aren't discouraged or anything. Some people get really down and kinda give up because they haven't found the right person yet. Maybe they think you might be that way. You should be thankful that they give a damn about you and stop whining about it.
Everyone wants to be loved at some point, and they are operating under the assumption that you have realized that by your age. Why wouldn't you want to fall in love? It's very nice to have someone to take care of you when you're in need and to make you feel appreciated when you take care of them. Anyway, if you want to be alone, that's you. Some people just don't get along well with others. My sister is kinda like you, but I don't think she's really opposed to being in a relationship. But please don't be offended when people who care about you try to encourage you! Good night!

you have approximately 12,600 points on Yahoo Answers.
it screams "i'm single". there's nothing wrong with that. but some people just appreciate partnership. and lots of people think it's 'normal' to have a partner. i don't really care. thing is, i found that when i was single, i was pretty much looking for a lover and friend anyway.
in which case, hooray for relationships. they're fun and can be extremely fulfilling. if you're not the type, so be it. I don't hate you.

Maybe the people that are telling you that felt the same way you did, and then found someone. I dunno if you don't want to fall in love then it's your choice, but watch out for all those "I told you so"'s later on if you do meet the right person. Why set yourself up for that? Just tell them right now you don't want to fall in love, if down the road it changes then so be it. Keeps your options open, and shuts them up.

I don't know who you're directing this towards, but I agree with you ,even though I myself am married. To be comfortable on your own and be your own best friend is the best thing in the world.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... stop going on about it... seriously!
People just say that.. it's a coping mechanism... try a bit of forgiveness... after all, you're the smart one.... no?
& mail me (via my profile - which has an email that works) some of your animation stuff... & no, I am not hitting on you...

I understand it quite well. It is not that difficult for some, however, many individuals do not feel whole or complete unless they are in a relationship. That I think is very sad. God bless****
