Being single

Why is being single such a big deal these days? I mean I'm single, and never had a boyfriend and I'm pretty happy with my life right now. There is no one else to consider, just me and I can do whatever I want. Of course having a boyfriend would be nice, but not necessary to be happy...

Okay, so in this case I can't really speak from experience, so I'll just go by what I hear from other people. I guess you can say that I'm a 'special' case, with my 20 years on this planet I never had a boyfriend. Which I guess is very rare these days. Some think its weird, others think its awesome and for me its just how it is. Its not that I never wanted a boyfriend, off course I do. I do want that person to share everything with and be yourself with for a 100%. 

The thing is when I was younger I wasn't really interested and by the time I did, I already made huge plans for the future and a boyfriend just didn't fit in that picture. When I was about 15 I decided I wanted to go to University in Australia, and finish my whole 4 year degree there and after I graduated actually stay there. For me there was just no point in getting a boyfriend, because I would be on the other side of the world, with no plans on coming back permanently. 

And also when I was younger, I think I was definitely not ready to have a boyfriend anyway. I mean, I didn't even like myself, so why would a guy like me? Over the last few years my self image really changed and I'm fine with who I am now, if someone doesn't like it then that's their problem. When I actually was in Australia, plans changed and I went back home, only to leave again, this time to San Francisco, within a few months. Ever since I was little I told my parents that I wanted to move overseas and this never changed. I still don't want to go back to Holland to live there permanently, so unless a guy is willing to moved for me, there is no point in getting a Dutch boyfriend.

Now I'm in San Francisco and planning to finish my degree here in the US, possibly Hawaii. At this point I'm just fine where I am, and it would be nice to have a boyfriend, its not like a need one. I'm perfectly happy single at the moment too, but at this point I just wait and see what happens. There is just so much I want to do in my life and it is actually kind of nice to be able to whatever I went, whenever I want. The perfect thing would obviously be a guy who wants to do all those things with me, but for now I'm alright.
