I(25F) have been in two relationships with two wonderful men, but I still just felt more like myself and happier when I was around my friends, family or by myself. I’d argue these were not the right people for me, but still, I know there are good people out there. I’ve never been cheated on and I’ve not experienced a traumatic heartbreak or anything big to deter me from romantic relationships - I’m just very happy as it is!

I get along great with my mom and my sister and have amazing friends in a city where I can easily meet up with everyone. I’m about to graduate after five years of uni, I have tons of hobbies I love that keep me creative, in shape, socializing etc. I’m currently in the process of looking for a job which it seems to be going really well and am also looking to buy my first apartment.

Some of my friends have great partners, some less great, but hearing about what their lives are like (and sometimes the things they argue about…) is just not appealing to me. And it’s so freeing not having to compromise or adjust my already full schedule to someone else’s, no expectations of doing things I don’t want to, living how I don’t want to etc. The only thing I’d argue I miss is physical intimacy and sex, but even that is such a miniscule tradeoff to all the freedom I feel I have being single! (And it is not something I’d get into a relationship for)

This may sound like a braggy post (which is not my intent) but I am just happier than I have ever been and I feel like life is only getting better by the day! I always hear people say they want a relationship because it’s something special or different from everything else in their life, but I’m honestly at a point where I feel ”what could be better than this?”.
