for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
a co-worker/friend of mine just told me that last night she had a FIRST KISS with someone she really likes. she went on and on about how much she liked it. i am so happy for her, she really likes this guy.
it got me to thinking: how much FUN the anticipation of a first kiss can be.
so here's the question: what's one small thing that you miss about being singe?

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
ALL the exciting feelings!!!
How you cant wait to spend the smallest amount of time with them, how your heart skips a beat when you see them, and what I loved MOST..those 4 hour phone conversations where you get to know EVERYTHING about each other.
I have to admit though, the first kiss was always so nerve racking for me. So I dont miss that too much.

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
Not something I really "miss" but missed out on - going to bars single. I have been with DH since I was 17, so never really got to experience the whole dating bar scene.

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
Without question...not knowing what to expect.
The first kiss is great, yes. But I've found kissing someone I already love much better.
I also miss not relying on someone else. For example there are things I want done around the house or with my car. If I were single, they would have been taken care of because I would have hired someone. Because I'm married & he's deemed them his job, years later there are still items he hasn't done.

i must agree with this also... i was a single-mom for 11 years. if it needed to be done, i did it. definitely not so now that i'm a married woman

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
The "wooing." I remember for my and DH's 1st Valentine's Day together he had me get all dressed up and took me out to dinner. I got to his house and he had one single fake red rose with a card saying that this rose will last forever just like his love for me. He also got a box of chocolates and took out the chocolates and put my favorite candy in its place.
Now, that kind of thoughfulness has disipated. He's kind and loving and my absolute best friend, but a romantic he is not. I miss that..........

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
Absolutely nothing.
I spent most of my life single, so I'm over it. I hated the frst kiss (probably because of bad kissers), hated first dates, wondering if there would be a second date....everything.

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
I really don't miss too much, I guess just the "newness" of a first kiss, courting, the pent up sexuality of being with someone in the early stages of a relationship.
But those are things we can all work on in our current relationship!

Totally agree on the "pent up sexuality" thing.
That is something that is not easy to recreate!

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
DH & I just talked about this the other night......we love our life together but we always want to go back to that first night we kissed or have that first phone call conversation again......
I wouldn't say I miss anything about being single...actually I don't miss being single AT ALL lol

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
I can't think of the right word but I miss the freedom of thinking/planning/doing just for yourself. If I wanted to do something, I did it. If I didn't I didn't. If I want cereal for dinner, no one was looking at me like "what should I have now?" - that sort of thing.
Of course it goes the other way too -- it's wonderful to have someone to depend on too.

oh yes.
and i miss making out. I love kissing. touching tongues with someone else to me is one of the biggest turn ons.
actually, that pic of Alix Ambrosio with that guy made me realize just how much I miss that. when all you are doing is kissing, and all that sexual urgency is released through your lips and tongue.

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
i miss going out with single GFs and trying to help each other find a guy!
but i agree with the "wooing" and "firsts" stuff. DH and i have been only married for 5 months, but dating for 5 years--i miss the feeling of the first kiss---or the first time we went to a movie together, or the first time he called me his "girlfriend"

I HATED being single- my married family peeps would always tell me how lucky I was and how marriage is so hard... They had no idea!

Re: for "taken" folks... what do you miss about being single?
I really love being married. I was never really into "dating" I tried it a bit but it was awkward. My DH and i are best friends and have known each other since 9th grade...when we first got together 2 years after college we still had all the butterflies, the long phone calls and all the romance--so I do miss that stuff although he does some romantic stuff every once in a while. I don't think I really miss being single though.

Jeez Jess, you really know how to get a girl's feathers all ruffled.... Especially when their DH passed out last night at 9:30 and will be away all weekend!!!!!
Well now, there's that "firsts" thing again  ...I kid, I kid........

so here's the question: what's one small thing that you miss about being singe?
This is probably weird, but I miss eating whatever I want. Like if I come home from work and don't want to eat dinner, or if I just want crackers, I miss that sometimes.
I love eating with DH, but some nights when I come home and he keeps asking me, what do you want for dinner, what do you feel like having-I feel guilty if I don't eat with him or come up with ideas or have a plan and I long for the days when I would eat half a ball of fresh mozz and bread without having to explain myself
Me too about the eating whatever I want. I also miss the excitement of all the unknowns and the first kiss. But overall, I'm very happy to not be single anymore!
