I really think there is some gene that makes people like us single. Like some kind of weird pheromone that gets generated, thats like boy/girl repellent.

Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
These are both incredibly wrongheaded and craxy.
And yet? So, so true. (Um, not them, me. You got that.)

I am resigned to being single.

I can't decide if I should grow my goatee back... I miss it.

Before I met TCG, I was very much resigned to the fact that I was going to be single for the rest of my life. I also thought I deserved to be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think our friends are terminally single because they sort of like it that way.
That's them. That's not me. I've been okay being single, let's be clear. But it's not been a goal of mine, save the times when I've been too broken to share these insides with anyone I'm not paying.
So for them it's because they sort of like it that way. For you and me it's because we're ugly?

Go goatee, choose goatee.
I was just talking about being single forever since I'm 0 for 3 on potential future wives.

I'm single because I really don't know any other way. Choice? Sure. I chose not to expect anything other. I gave up on that long ago in my teens.
Doesn't mean I don't wonder. Doesn't mean I am not content with it, either.
At some point, I figured I'd be paired and have kids. At some point, I stopped expecting that.
I'm not resigned. If anything, I'm expectant that I'll remain single surrounded by people and kids I love and it'll be a rich life.
Doesn't stop me from reading cheesy romance or idle daydreaming, though.
And I react positively reactionary at the "Oh you'll find someone..." thing. Maybe I won't and IT'LL BE OK, OK!!?
