    I dont really miss having a gf, I mean yeah its nice to have some one to share your life with but it's not nesscerey I mean from being in a handfull of disaterous reletionships, I cant really say i miss anything the only thing I can say I envy to those who are in a reletionship would be, shareing your life with some one. or when your out and about in the city center and u see somthing u know s/he like's and seeing s/he's happy inturn makes you happy...

    those sort of things cuddeling kissing sex is all well and good but its not the foundation of a reletionship there more to it then that and there nothing but a bonus....

    so il say giving.....

    Doing nothing, and being more than happy to do nothing. In the (or-so-you-thought-at-the-time) right company, thats enough. Lazy days, walks to nowhere, chatting over tiny details of life, drinking their horrible coffee and pretending you like it because you don't want to hurt her feelings, tiny gifts out of nowhere, the "good luck today with X,Y,Z" texts, turning the upset girlfriend into a giggly little lady again, and that great long hug that comes with it. Getting all dressed up, going out as a couple and feeling like a million dollars (whats that? 600,000 Euros or so?)

    dont miss her at all,swear.
    Having company when watching porn

    That too.

    I think this, more than anything else combined.

    I miss lots of stuff, like regular sex, companionship, and the very excellent experience which is getting to know someone, getting inside someone's head gradually. One of the biggest things I miss is not having someone to have a cuddle with after a sh*tty day.

    Having said that single life aint bad at all, it depends on what you make of it.

    I miss the conversations that start with ''What was he saying to you....?'', the phone calls to check where I am, the demands for an ETA and the questions if I was late, the phone calls at 1am to ''just say goodnight'' but are in fact to make sure I'm home.

    Well maybe I don't miss any of that, but it reminds me why no relationship is better than that crap.

    I thought it was only me who got stuck with guys like that.

    Or going all quiet and moody because you mention the name of one of your male friends. GAH.

    Besides the real obvious ones...

    Waking up beside each other.
    The little things really, always there to have a chat/nag/drunken convo
    Making the other feel better if they are down or sick with the flu (or man flu :pac: )
    The feeling that someone thinks you are attractive and wants to be with you.

    *sigh... :rolleyes:

    lying in bed with my head on her chest listening to her hearbeat and getting sleepy and her playing with my hair <3

    Lifting her up with her legs wrapped around me and her hugging me and resting her head on my shoulder

    Resting my hands on her stomach when she'd sit on top of me watching tv.(my ex had a thing about her stomach for some strange reason and was awesome she let me do that)

    Dont miss all the fights and false accusations of cheating though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Poccington


    Having someone that when you've had a crap day you now they'll put a smile on your face as soon as you see them.

    Going on walks to absolutely nowhere.

    Lying there without having to say a single word to each other, just being happy that you're with her.

    Falling asleep together.

    All the little things that you love about her.

    Having someone to look after.

    Holding hands.



    I'm going to go and drown my sorrows now :pac:

    It's only been 2 days but so far i miss the 'Night Night' texts i've gotten every night for the past 3 years. :(

    [ ] Do you mean the nights you were apart
    [ ] Or did you not go to sleep in the same room in the last 3 years
    [ ] Or did she send you a text anyhow even though you did?

    It's having the opposite effect on me.

    No, I mean it's making me want to be single!
    Getting stagnant sitting on a couch having smoochies every evening watching Coronation Street and the Desprates just ain't my thing!

    ( I like that nurse pic!!!:D )

    Am mostly very contented being single but what i really miss is having someone to talk about my day with and having someone who'll give me a big hug if had a bad day...sigh!

    And am sending a big hug to all the other singles

    really there's different ways to hold hands? and each way means something different :eek:... nobody told me......


    back rubs...as in i miss them a lot


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,503 ✭✭✭✭jellie


    im feeling particularly lonely today and for some reason missing my stupid ex even though hes an a**hole :(

    i miss just having someone who is special to you & knowing youre special to that other person. i miss having someone whos the first person i want to tell good news to and the only person i can talk to when im feeling down.

    this thread is so so depressing.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    apart from the really obvious one

    curling up together on the sofa
    holding hands
    telling each other stuff you would tell no one else
    comfortable silences


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,093 ✭✭✭TelePaul


    We need some suitable tunes for this thread - I propose Disintegration by The Cure.

    I don't really miss being in a relationship... kinda.

    Sometimes when my friends are all busy with their otherhalves I think ''NOW would be a good time for a boyfriend'' but that doesn't really last long. But that's it, don't miss anything else.

    Kind of on topic, I was talking to a girl I'd just met in college and she was telling me all about her bf and when I told her I was single she gave me this really pitiful look and said she doesn't know how I can stand it.

    She also preceeded to tell me that she's had 12 'proper' bf's.. she's 19 so as far as I'm concerned these aren't 'proper' relationships. I'm glad that I had 1 bf for nearly 2 years rather than 12 bfs over the space of 3 years.
