Being a single lady most all my life, I LOVE my independence, for all the reasons ya'll listed above me an more.
I'm independent to a fault some might say. BUT .. . ..

I do love those times while in a relationship where ya come home from a bad day at work an your SO will listen to your rants an raves actin like they really know everything thats goin on until you run outta steam, an they do somethin so heartbreakingly sweet that all that BS jus washes away an your so much better for havin them in your life.

Or how bout those saturday nights that ya really jus wanna stay in a veg on the couch while surfin the channels, aint it better when ya have that SO there to cuddle with?

How about knowing that your SO will be there for ya when ya need somethin. It dont matter what that somethin is ... say. .. . a jar that ya cant quite open yaself an poof they do it like it was nothin, or when ya cant really reach that one dish in the very top of the cabinet an you know that you can call on them to reach it for ya.

Its the simple things in life that, you can handle on your own perfectly fine, that havin a loyal SO that will still be willin to do those things for or with you that makes relationships great.

Laughin, always better when someone else joins in.
Kissin, ya always gotta have someone else to make that fun. lol
Huggin, it takes two baby. (now i have that song in my head)
Holdin hands.
Sleepin, yea sure it dont take two, but boy is it nice to cuddle up with your SO an jus relax an sleep.
Dinner, for two?
Sharin a drink, or dessert with someone.

Who else will see you, without the make-up, with tossled hair an wearin your worn out t-shirt when ya jus wake up in the mornin, an still think that you look so sexy that they gotta have a lil more of your time before they'll let ya go to work.

Being in a relationship sometimes jus, rocks.
