No. But if I don't change anything, I will.

When I am alone I usually think about how good it would be to be with someone. It never works out though. I think I always expect more from the person. I want things to be perfect between us like in the movies. Of course that's impossible.
Did you love them?

I wouldn't want to, but my overall outlook is rather grim on the subject. I don't really see things improving anytime in the foreseeable future. I do find myself wishing for "perfect" relationships of sorts, but I haven't the faintest idea how or even why the average person starts a relationship. /writersblock

Yes I did. I just like my space sometimes, especially when they realize there is something wrong with you and they don't understand one bit of what you are going through and they tell you to just snap out of it. Or threaten to break up with you if you do not change something about yourself.
Well, at least you can say you've been in love.

I'm going to.
Whether I actually want to or not is beside the point.

Why do you say that?

Since I'm never going to have a husband or boyfriend, even though I'd like one, I'm going to be alone.
