Ever wondered why you're single?

I imagine you to be like Tamwar out of Eastenders. I know you won't know who he is, have a little Google xoxo

Shutup

I'm only single because I can't get involved in a relationship for a number of reasons right at the minute. This wasn't the case a couple of years ago but I'm really not in the right mental state. This is a very, very unstable period in my life - I'm changing every day and still trying to find out who I am. I also have no job and no money - just going out with friends is a scrap for me. A girl on top of that? I'd be broker than Leeds United. I've got a load of worries at the moment, earth shaking shit like planning for my future and trying to set some shit up, things that will take up 100% of my attention. The last thing I need is a girl to compound those because somebody was talking to somebody on Tinder or some other small time bullshit. Recently I was intimately involved in another relationship because I was very, very close friends with both the boy and the girl - it ended utterly acrimoniously, and because I was so closely linked, I had to pick up the pieces, which has completely put me off for a while. Do you know how fucking difficult it is to spend half the time playing the divorced child and the other half a marriage counselor? I don't want that shit right now. The single life is one that suits me.

There was a girl a few months back where money wouldn't have been a problem (and this was before I became amongst other things a functioning marijuana addict, a manic depressive, and had all these personal issues to sort out), but that was never going to work because I wasn't in the country throughout the summer and some other guy got in before me. And in retrospect I was a lot stupider and more immature last year - now with the benefit of hindsight I realised it would have been a horrendous relationship. We come from entirely different worlds. Her and her friends are the most boring people I've ever met. And I would have felt like I had to put a power limiter on my brain whenever I was spending time with her. I need somebody who's got roughly equal intelligence to me, not some booksmart nerd who'd whip anybody's arse on a test but when it came to actually thinking proved to be as dull as a statue.

What do you think's happened to that girl he was infatuated with but no longer talks about?

I don't know, I haven't seen her again since first year uni. I didn't murder her but somebody in her arch-conservative Somali family probably honour killed her and her 7 ft boyfriend by now or some such. Dodged a bullet there

@Barbara, just saw this and thought you might like:

IMO it beats Sir Jeffers by an inch.

The Karaoke part lol, it reminded me of me and then of you, hahahahahaha. Will I really have to go to JP to fix it or you'll get your friends to finally go?

HAHAHAHA. I don't know about the karaoke, but I'm definitely playing that song in a duet with some female friend of mine when I'm back.

Is it just me or does the amount of bellends on this site seem to have increased massively during the last 6 months? Need to add a good 8 names to the ignore list

We've had worse IMO. There was a time when you'd see heated discussions with name calling several times a day.

Or is it that your tolerance for bellends have decreased? Time for your bellend shot, I reckon :P

So gutted to hear James Alexander Gordon has died :/. Didn't know until it was mentioned on MOTD today. So sad... His voice is what I remember from my youth, coming out of the ground and getting to the car quickly with my dad to warm up and listen to the results come in and try and guess them by how he said the first part :P. Good memories...

I've been thinking a lot lately and I think I'm going to attempt to study journalism. Not any time soon mind you, but one day when I feel I'm mature enough to commit to a full-time study course. I left home at 19 thinking I was ready and able to live essentially alone in a new city on the other side of the country. To put things frankly I wasn't mature enough for that; there were many things I needed to do and prioritised them higher than studying. There are still a few things I need to accomplish before I attempt to study again and I'm sure when I've had my fill, I'll be able to buckle down and accomplish something meaningful for once. I've gained a lot of knowledge and life experience in the last several years but I need more if I'm going to be able to achieve what I set my sights on.
