No, I do not have a boyfriend. And I totally choose that. I've been asked out multiple times, but I just don't 'do' relationships anymore. I've really only been in about three relationships, and I've been the one to 'break up' in all three situations.
The sad thing is, the guys I normally date/go out with do everything right. I had an older boyfriend when I was in 8th grade. He took me out every Friday night. One night, while we were waiting for our rides after seeing a movie, he told me he loved me. It was cold and icey outside, and when my ride came, he told me to get home safely. When I was at home, he even called me and checked to make sure I made it home safe. He remembered my birthday, got me presents, and was so sweet. He never rushed me into anything, and respected me a great deal. Therefore, I respected him. But around Christmas of that year, I felt I had to break off from him. He just wasn't for me. I didn't get excited to see him, I didn't get butterflies in my stomach when I was around him, nothing.
And then I dated a long time friend of mine, Justin. I used to like him, but when we started dating, it was just too late for me. I felt bad for leading him so far. We would text each other all the time. We went to the semi-formal winter dance together, and we went to the movies a few times. He invited me to art shows and everything, and asked me out. I told him I just wasn't for a relationship right now, and he said, "It's okay, I understand. I'll wait until you're ready." He's such a sweatheart, but there's just nothing there for me.
Which is why I don't date anymore. I hate having to reject people over and over again like that. I feel like a whore who just likes breaking guys and watching them hurt. Plus I get bored extremely easily, and relationships feel suffocating and they require commitment, which I naturally shy away from.
So no, I don't date. I'm single, and I'm a very happy single. Maybe in a few years I'll feel ready to settle down with a guy in a serious relationship. But I'm definately not looking for it now. I don't need a guy to complete me.
