Are you going alone or is there someone going with you. At least if there is someone else there, it can be their job to make the conversation between you two as minimal as possible

I'd better get this back on topic;

I miss everything (but the stupid little fights), especially having someone to look forward to seeing every weekend and being able to talk to about anything.

Excluding the obvious....absolutely nothing.

I miss friendship being reciprocated from the days when my friends were single though. :mad::mad::mad:
I'm totally not holding any hands through the divorcee years!


I do take advantage of drunken people for hug time though.

Sharing each other utterly, thoroughly and truly on every level.

In a relationship so I wouldn't be single, but it sure feels like it sometimes because she's far away

Things I miss (or would like to do regulary):

Cuddling on the couch while watching tv, talking about anything and everything, bitching about people :pac:

Eskimo kisses, normal kisses, long kissing sessions, secks, her soft skin and her beard

I love giving her back and shoulder rubs while kissing her neck and back to make her comfortable, miss doing that !

Slagging each other and mess fighting is always fun !

I'd love to walk the big sausage (my dog) with her just so we can walk together and chat and that she can get more comfortable with my dog as she's had bad experiences with a Boxer dog before.

Awh, I miss all those things too honey!!

Pfft, you leave my beard out of this!

Miss lying on you, feeling all safe(even though you're not exactly the big strong type :P), playing with you, and our big long in depth conversations Plus loads of other stuff I can't think of right now!

We can do all that stuff soooooon!

Yay for Opeth and Cynic Tuesday week!

LDRs are hard, think carefully about it before ya start one, it does feel a lot like you're single sometmes, clinging to memories and dates etc, I'm lucky I have someone I can trust completely!

I actually really miss physical contact, not necessarily sexual. skin touching skin.

And cups of tea in bed. And being relaxed in anothers company.

Many things;
holding hands while walking

them sitting accross my lapwhile we just hold each other

curling up together in the cinema or in front of the TV

genuine heartfelt hugs without any coaxing from me

them telling me when something's bothering them so I can try make it better

falling asleep together while cuddled up in bed and knowing they'll be there when I wake up and wouldn't do anything to hurt me while I'm asleep and have my guard down

eskimo kisses when we've no intention of going for a lip kiss afterwards, just to express affection

taking ages to say goodbye just because we don't really want to do so

talking about absolute sh1te but still clinging to every word just because it was with them

but mostly being able to let someone inside my head, not holding back, and them letting me inside theirs, knowing they'll accept me for what I am and that they trust me to accept the real them also

I miss being asked how your day was, and knowing that he really cares how it was. and i miss really wanting to know how their day was.

i miss seeing things and realising that i cant wait to talk to them and laugh about its significance!

i miss the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing that someone thinks you're as great as you think they are....if that makes sense....i miss that

I miss all of these things. I really miss the way without even realising it you find a way to sit together on the couch so ye just 'fit' and can lie that way for hours without even realising it...

And an ex of mine used to give great hugs in his sleep and would kiss my forehead when he thought I was asleep and tell me he loved me... It was nice to hear it when it wasn't being said for brownie points!!

nomorebadtown

not single but if i got dumped i'd miss the fact that she knows my body so well that during sexytime she knows just how to have me in absolute blissful melting agony....she found this out through much trial and error over years and now she owns my balls 100%:pac:

Piste

This thread is making me never want to be single ever.

brianthebard

To continue...I miss holding someone.

LolaDub

This thread is making me delighted i'm single!

Reading all this the one thing that really struck me...

"meeting after work and going out" strange.

This thread is depressing me, I'm in a LDR at the moment with a fantastic guy and it kills me that we can't just meet up on a whim to see each other, or I can't just get a hug from him when I've had a bad day!

Aww yeah I know what you mean I used to be in a LDR a good while ago but now my boyfriend lives in same city as me - you're right there's no comparison between em - it's so so awesome being able to seen them all the time and yes this thread makes me feel so lucky to have my boyfriend I'd be utterly depressed reading this if I were single I'd say...

The main one is the regular sex - though pretty much all the little things count too.

Clare Bear

God I'd miss EVERYTHING if I was single again. Though I was happy out being single for years and didn't know what I was missing but if my relationship ended now I'd miss so much I'd be here all day.


He so better not dump me, I'll kill him :pac:

What all guys miss when they're not in a relationship - the homicidal craziness

Brian, are you that guy who works in spar on eyre square? *puts on stalker glasses*

Things i miss about being in a relationship:

Knowing someone inside out who knows me inside out.
The physical side/ the affection.
Missing them (I know it's strange, but it is nice to have someone to miss)

Katniss everMean

I'm in a relationship now, but I know that If I wasn't that the thing I would miss the most would be random hugs and having someone that no matter how stupid you act, or how hormonal he still hugs you and trys to make you ok

Why? Its just nice to meet up straight from work.

I also miss opening just one button on his shirt, so I can rest one hand on his chest when cuddled up on the sofa. And burying your face in their neck while they whisper in your ear...

Danimalito

Having company when watching porn

pow wow

Having a favourite curve on his face or neck and being able to kiss it as and when.

God yeah!!!! Forgot about that.

nevershutsup

i miss the just lying there for hours on the couch doing nothing with my hand resting on his chest...

i miss the little jokes and sayings and little things we had that only we understood and hearing anyone else say it ... doesnt make it the same...

i miss the obv ... hugs, kisses and the way he knows you ...

i miss the all hours texts and calls about nothing...

i miss the falling asleep with his arms around me...

i miss feeling like i matter so much to someone... knowing im his last thought at night...

most of all i miss just having that one friend who knows you so well you can have a laugh and hang out by saying not a single word because you dont need to...

MysticalSoul

With my ex, we used to goof around a lot with each other, and be kind of childlike, and have never had that experience with anyone else, and nor had he. He ended up being a twat though. Also, even when we were apart, how much I laughed and smiled.

Maddison

Mabey the thread should be changed to ''what do you miss about being in a relationship before the kids came along''.......I miss days off staying in bed all day recovering from the great night out, having lazy morning shenanigans, tea in bed(without a 5 year old bouncing on it & spilling it everywhere),mostly everything that everyone has posted on this thread!

Oh I've got one, I miss having a 'song', yknow one that you'll hear randomly and it'll remind you of him, cos it was on during something important, or he sang it to you, introduced you to it etc.

Aw... I love that, when you're going about your day and you hear 'your' song playing or a song that reminds you of him and it puts a big smile on your face

Having a TV prog that you both love, and making a beeline for the couch when it comes on every week to cuddle up and watch it.

And the bitching LOL... not in a bad way, but having a moan about whoever pissed you off during the day, with the other one giving hugs and sympathy and going 'Oh that cow, the cheek of her...'

Heading for a post work pint on a Friday when you're both exhausted and catching up on each others' news.... and knowing that you have the whole weekend to relax together. Priceless.

One thing I miss about living with my ex was sitting down with a cup of tea when we both got in from work and chatting about the day.

Cooking for them
Making a proper meal from scratch and knowing that they really appreciate and enjoy it. Or better still, when they help you cook it, and chatting and messing while you're busy in the kitchen.

Presents! I loved Christmas and Birthdays, thinking of the perfect pressie, going shopping for it, keeping it secret etc etc.... And little pressies just because.

The friendship that develops in a relationship over time.... that's the bit that always hits me hardest when I break up with someone, knowing that someone understands all your little weirdnesses and you understand theirs.
