I've been single for many years, mainly because I will only allow a certain type of person to be introduced to my Family. There has been the odd fling now and again, but nothing serious enough to call a relationship. In a way, I like being single because it leaves me to concentrate my energy elsewhere, although I sometimes miss the closeness that forms in a relationship. I do not think a person is whole until they are entwined by love, so even though single life can be easy, I would prefer to work hard at a relationship.
