Anyone prefer being alone?

I could actually go days without physically talking.

I live quite remotely by most city/town standards (probably 5 miles from the nearest village), and when we first moved here I came without a job. We moved here for the Mrs' job, and I wasn't really tied to much at home. I'd spend a lot of time alone at home until I found work. 26 years of living in or around major cities and was all of a sudden placed into rural Ireland. It's fucking great. I'd make a good monk.

Friends with benefits is best. No texting, no hassle, no jealousy. Just meet up now and again for a fuck, go out for an occasional meal and a drink. Works a treat for both of us.

Sounds like the perfect relationship. Cake and eat it
 
Definitely as I get older the less I’m finding myself wanting to socialise and instead rather read and post on a Manchester City forum full of strange Northern maniacs.
 
A guy that I used to live a few doors down from was married but he lived on his own and she lived on her own a couple of miles away. They were together but didn't live together.

I always wanted to know how he managed to get away with that but I don't like speaking to neighbours so never found out
 
I can relate to this. Every time I met someone that I thought maybe I want to be with, it would quickly feel almost like a chore to be with them, sometimes that was down to them but a lot of the time it wasn’t anything specific and was more down to me and that’s when I just realised I just like being on my own. I’m probably a bit reclusive in that in most instances I’d rather just stay in unless it’s city and don’t particularly enjoy doing the standard couples things so it doesn’t lend well for early relationships and dating.

I eventually met somebody a few years ago who lived further away, it wasn’t a million miles away but with neither of us driving it was an hours train ride + buses/taxis each way so we generally only saw each other weekends. I found a happy balance with this, wasn’t perfect as I had to delicately juggle going to nearly every city game as well as seeing her but it worked well enough for me. We both had our own lives outside of each other and wouldn’t mix them too much. It lasted around 3 years before it ended at the turn of the year when she decided it wasn’t enough anymore and we had different timeframes on how things might progress. I dusted myself down and got back on the scene and very quickly remembered why I had previously remained single for a long time. met a few women since who were way out of my league in truth, I should have been eager to be with them at every available opportunity yet I just didn’t want to constantly be in each other pockets and people generally take that for a lack of interest.
