Justin and I will be together for 5 years this September. When you have been with someone this long, you are so withdrawn from what it is like to be single. It is easy for me to pretend I remember but in reality, I am not facing it day to day.
I think about what it would be like being single again. I remember how much fun I had meeting a new guy. How we would spend hours chatting and texting, all excited about the first date. I LOVE FIRST DATES. You get to meet someone new and you never know what it may lead. If it works out the adventure has just begun but if it is horrible, you have a great story to tell your friends.
I remember being able to flirt and be raunchy with guys. I would get guys to do crazy things just for fun and to see how much I could influence them. What do you have to lose at 21?
I remember also being friend’s dates for events and having them as my dates. Getting all excited that maybe we would meet someone there. Or at least we would be the cool, fun single ones while all the rest were boring duds in relationships.
I remember being able to just jump up and go with my friends on random trips just because. You are single and you just want to be out there having fun and laughing hard! I would make midnight trips to Virgin Megastore with Robert to just buy a CD and flirt with the cashier.
I remember I got to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I did not have to think twice. I was free. My needs, my wants, they were all first and I did what I wanted…
I also remember talking to guys online for them to randomly sign off and disappear. I remember meeting guys who I thought were great to find out they had lied to me and were not who they said they were.
I remember going to parties, events, etc and leaving alone to go home and eat double stuf oreos. I remember staying up way late with my laptop open just chatting with people to keep me from feeling alone.
Being single was very fun and I enjoyed it. Just like being in a relationship, it has its ups and downs. Both take work and it is not easy.
