My issues regarding lack-of-partner may be a little more practical. Maybe that's not the right word.
There is the loneliness factor, sure. There is also the lack of human contact factor. *shrug* I've gone out on enough dates to know that I'm overly picky when it comes to potential partners, and I'm more or less at the point that I've stopped actively looking for one.
But as a single person, I struggle with the fact that much of the world is designed for pairs (or other even numbers of people), and I am regularly left out of that.
(There is also a small voice in the back of my head that regularly asks "What if g-d forbid I fall down the stairs and break my neck on a Friday afternoon? It will be Monday mid-day before someone even thinks to look for me.")
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
