[...] their better halfs. It most often happens if I'm really close with one of the people involved. I just get really flustered, jittery and anxious. Kind of like when you want to sucker punch someone for the lack of a better expression - especially the cute couples. Problem is that I usually get restless and feel really low.

I just actually don't feel like I could be in a relationship right now. Not that I strive for attention but I think that part of it is that I feel left out. It's like "thanks for stealing them". Ironically I never really met someone I actually really wanted to date (although I've dated plenty). I like the independence that comes with the single life but when I see friends be like that with their partners I feel immense dread. I even want to cry sometimes. What an oxymoron!

I'm 20 and a female btw.

    makes sense but dont feel bad its better being single. Men dont understand limits and even if you are taken will fight over you . Kindve sucks so stay out the relationship and aviod the cheating , the fighting and all the skward dramma.

    I see where your coming from simply due to the fact that I'm going through that phase myself right now. I see my friends with their other halfs and being all close and all and It makes me feel lonely and upset because I feel that I have a lot of love to give just....don't have someone to give it to :( I'm 19 and Male btw

    If you have dated before, it sounds like the option is there and you just prefer to be single. I don't see the need to feel down if you make the choice to enjoy your freedom! You can have a relationship when you reach that point in your life, until then embrace the single life!

    Well I have a boyfriend who I love immensely. On the other hand I don't get to see him all that often, since we both are so busy and it does hurt sometimes. I have been to a club or places without him there but whenever I see couples dancing together and hugging like crazy I just sit by myself and start crying since I miss him, so I can see where you are coming from. I on the other hand when I saw couples as a single person I was always depressed like, when will I find my special person. Anyway I found mine, you will find yours someday, be patient and don't rush it. =)
