I've been single for over a year now, and I've made a few observations about the good and bad about singledom. Let me first say that I am a grossly independent woman (almost to a fault) who rarely needs help from people. I'm highly functional and can do anything around my home that needs to be done. For the most parrt, I enjoy my singleness, but do have a few complaints.

I'd really like to hear what other folks hate about being single. But here's my list in the meantime:

1. I have to kill my own bugs. (Yuck)
2. Taking my car in for day-long maintenance work is a pain...you have to find someone who isn't put out by picking you up and hauling you back to the car repair.
3. No really good romantic dinners. (there's only so many romantic dinners I can have by myself before it gets old)
4. Not having anyone to hold me close when i have a bad day. I think this is the worst one, b/c lately I've been having a lot of bad days at work.

These are the big ones for now. I've had some little successes on my own recently, so not having someone here to do things for me just made me puff with pride.

what do you guys think? what do you hate about it all?
