It's Funny Being Alone

While I may be alone in the actual context of the word, I realize that I am not entire alone in my situation. What I mean is this: I do not currently have a significant other (or even an insignificant other for that matter). All people are single at some point in time. It's a given. Certainly, I haven't been in this state as long as plenty of other people in the world (I call them eunuchs). Still, it just sucks having no one there for you.

Floating around the internet, I've found a multitude of people in the similar, single predicament. There may be support groups and such for these kind of things, but who actually thinks they should go to them. I sure as hell don't. What I find funny is the amount of people that join these internet communities (like Myspace) in search for something. There are places on the internet for these types of personal ads. The problem with an online resource for dating is that it usually costs money for the service. They all proclaim a free profile thing-a-magig, but it winds up that you have to pay to allow anyone to actually see it.

With Myspace, people have taken it upon themselves to build up their friend communities to form a sort of dating pool. I'm not one of them. Most of the opposite gender people on my lists for such things already have that "In A Relationship" tag added to their profile. Just my luck that the number of single people I know are dwindling by the second.

I can't get over the common bulletin or blog about the search for companionship. I'll sit at my computer and write about how it sucks to be alone, but I won't create the "potential girlfriend" questionnaire. Those things make no sense to me. I might make a note or leave a comment about the type of girl that I am looking for at the moment, but I won't have a potential candidate for companionship fill out a form of compatibility. What's the point of it? Is someone that is genuinely interested in me going to actually take the time to fill it out? If they do fill it out, should I feel afraid that someone is desperate enough respond to my requested desires? I just wouldn't know what to do if someone that was genuinely interested replied to my desperation.

Do I like being alone? Well, no, I don't. Most people don't like being alone. It sucks when no one is there for you. I just don't feel the need to advertise myself through an act of desperation. Sure, I've had no luck in the finding a special someone department, but I'm still out there. Much to certain people's denial, sometimes things just fall into your lap. I guess that's what I hoping for. It probably won't happen. I still think it's a better way to go about it than by publishing a "would you kiss me" bulletin.
