On the other hand, even though I really do want companionship, there are some things I do enjoy about being single, such as being able to go places, do things, and hang out with people without having to worry about being home at a certain time, being accountable to someone else, or dealing with what my significant other thinks about what I do with my time or who I spend time with.
In all honesty, in a good relationship, you should be able to do all of that stuff anyway. I could never imagine my gf telling me not to go places or do things, or for example, keeping me from going out drinking with my buddies and nagging at me for having a lot of friends the opposite sex. Or telling me
what time I should come home. If someone's being that limiting, I'd say they have some serious jealousy issues to work out, myself.
But yeah, as someone above said, 25 ain't even that old. I've lots of friends that age who don't have anyone right now. It's not a matter of age, but attitude.
And yes Russian mailorder brides.
As for me, I'm taken, and been with my gf for... uh. I dunno? I never counted? Woops. Er, around three or four years, I think. Probably four in November.
I'd need to ask her, she remembers the exact day we met.
We're doing really well to this day, even if my travels keep us apart for months to a year sometimes. But she's always waiting for my return, and I'm always coming back to her.
And when I do... well. The only difficult thing that's looming ahead is the fact that she'd like to have kids and marry one day - and in all honesty, I wouldn't. And while she says that she'd forgo getting a family for my sake, I'd feel juuust a bit douche-y for making her do that.
But eh, not really worried about that right now. All that's still ways ahead, so we're just focusing on being happy and young here and now.
