Love ThySelf!
To be honest I am not sure I always do it! But I know this...it is hard to be single. We aren't even represented in the LOVE section here! We are all looking for a "Life Partner" whether consciously or not. Being single is just not fun. One day I realized that "I" am MY life partner. I am the only one that will always be here for me. How good a partner am I being? Well I am commited to be a much better one...and yes I still want to connect and love another, but in the meantime I am going to love myself. In the end, it will only make me a much better lover/partner to someone else anyway!!
I 'll let ya know if it does! What is the alternative? Seems to me the only smart choice...

You ARE your own life partner. In the end, you will need to be with yourself. Best to start now, being happy with who you are, where you are now.
It's great that you recognize that you are the only one that will always be here for you. I believe that putting effort towards making sure you are good to yourself will payoff towards making a better partner to someone else.
I'm experiencing this now, actually, as I've opened myself up to a new relationship. Instead of re-living a lot of the mistakes I've made in the past, it feels like I've grown from them. Now I'm committed to developing a partnership that is built on a solid foundation, where I will be good to me while allowing him to be fully himself.
The one thing in your post that gives me jitters is how you see being single is "hard" and "not fun". Being single can be fun! It's all in your attitude and outlook. Your post sounds like a great first step towards enjoying "singlehood", by being a great partner to yourself.
Cheers,

Sylvia,
Thanks for the response...I definitley get how single-ness can be great...I have done a lot of work on myself I probably wouldn't have done if I was in a relationship...I think it is just a matter of how long I have been single. I was always in something serious until about 5 and half years ago ...I think the novelty is waring off...I really do feel lately that it is hard to be alone...I just don't seem to be having those big connections, or when I do, they are with someone etc...so, though I know I am the ultimate partner to myself, I would be lying to myself if I didn't admit I was more than ready to "hook up" again. Ah well...we shall see...things can change on an dime!
Be well,
Laura
