What do you miss about being in a relationship?

brianthebard

*as requested*

For the single ladies(and lads), what is it you miss? It sounds silly but I miss holding hands.
And the kissing. Long kissing sessions ftw. Bah I'm thinking of what I'm missing again bad thread!!!!

nobodythere

Being nagged.
Going out without getting hassled by gf.
Getting texts at 3am about gf's supposedly important problem that will result in an argument if you don't reply.
Pregnancy scares.

Oh wait is this the wrong thread?

MagicMarker

Pretty much anything involving affection.

Much prefer to be single right now though. Less hassle!

Rozabeez

Cuddling, late night chats, being completey comfortable with another person...kinda like being in your own little bubble.

Will

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.

feylya

Knowing someone who, no matter how crap you feel and how **** your day was, can cheer you up with a smile.

GirlInterrupted

Making breakfast on Sunday while he gets the papers.
Holding hands.
Sharing a bath.
Morning kisses.
Evening kisses.
Cuddles, anytime.
Meeting after work to go out.
Walking the dogs together.
Back rubs.
Front rubs.
General rubs.
Having someone fuss over me when I'm sick.
Having someone fuss over me when I'm not sick.
Much, much more.

villager

Just someone to fuss over you full stop! Someone that'll make you feel special. Someone who makes you light when you think of them.
Bah stupid thread.

I dunno, u seem like a sensitive guy

GirlInterrupted

Having him warm the bed up on my side first, then persuading him to roll over...

Warming up my feet on hairy legs...

Untangling my hair from around him in the morning...

fits

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

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

But overall, being single is right for me right now.

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

Sex on tap!

Someone to do those annoying errands - like collecting dry cleaning etc.


ok ok - Miss suprise dinners being cooked and spending evenings together talking joking laughing.
Nights on front of the fire - wine music or a film
Doing or saying silly things that no one else would appreciate.
Sharing and asking for opinons and perspective,
That feeling of Dam it I want you so much right now
Sharing genuis ideas
Walks in all kinds of weather
Hearing the words I love you
Making up

Dam this thread !

MagicMarker

I think i'm going to have to unsubscribe from this thread for fear of turn a little bit ghey!

brianthebard

How can hearing what women want turn you ghey?

wynners

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

Rozabeez

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.

spinandscribble

+1 from me too. i'm a sucker for hairy men lol

i miss knowing theres someone who'll hug me and someone i can hug. i miss hugs really badly nearly a month since me and my ex broke up.

brianthebard

I see you are based in Galway spin.

spinandscribble

sadly i've just moved to west chester, pa, usa, hence the break up. but i'll be back in 18 months though

i miss being treated like a woman. i'm living with two lads that treat me like a annoying little girl. and americans are just NOT hairy enough.

LOL! There's always theatrical hair, I suppose?

As for things to miss, it's got to be physical contact. And waking up with someone on a weekend morning...

Gah, I suppose I will have to start giving in to popular demand to start dating again soon :pac:

LemonyFresh

Physical contact and affection.

Cuddles and kisses more than anything. Especially this week for some reason, pining away at lack of hugs and love on tap. Booo

Youve all been out of the loop a bit too long and are starting to think realationships are all puppies and kisses.

One thing I dont miss is the cynicism. :P

I miss heat stealing and that "Oh I cant wait to tell him about this" sorta stuff. Like the work colleague hes been hearing about for weeks or the project youve been working on...or any story that fills the dinner conversation in the evening.

Having someone to bounce your ideas off and just generally a worthy opponent for both parties. Both taking a side of an arguement just for the craic and loving that they are able to hold their own and meet you there.

To sum up - communication. No wonder Im single - I obviously like argueing too much!

Hehe, nope, I'm not romanticising it!

Though all of my break-ups have been while the ex in question and myself were in the relatively early (less than a year, longer than 6 months) and still in the not-rowing-honeymoon-stage. So they were all very unexpected (obviously only on my side)

I've been single now for a good while and while I'm grand most of the time, it's getting to the stage where I miss having someone to share with, in the broadest sense of the word.
