Well....... I now know the reason why relationships don't work for me:smt021

 

I thought this was interesting. At different points in life I can see myself doing some of these things. Overall, I'm a relationship type person. However, until very recently, I was single for quite a few years. So, I answered based on that time period mainly.

1. You Have A Hard Time Seeing A Future With Someone (Anyone For That Matter)
No

2. You See Relationships As More Of A Burden Than A Blessing
At times I have

3. You Cringe When You Hear How Long Others Have Been Together
I used to really love to hear that people had been together many years and took that as some great badge of honor regarding their relationship, until I was in a relationship for 17 years (and friends of mine close to 30 years) and realized that just because people have been together many years doesn't mean it's a good/great relationship. So, I went through a time when I did cringe when I would hear of relationships that were many years because it seemed that when I really got into the conversation with people I found out the relationships weren't so great. I like to hear about relationships where the people have grown together. I find them inspiring.

4. You’re Easily Bored With Situations
I can be. I don't know if it's bored really. I can be incredibly patient with those I love. I can be impatient with those I don't.

5. You Have Issues With Compromise
No. I do have boundaries though.

6. You Have An Innate Reaction To Bail When Things Get Tough
Nope. But in the years of dating I did have times when I did. I think I got to a point where I was looking for what was not going to work rather than looking to see what could work.

7. Your Sexual Interests Lie Elsewhere
No. I learned long ago not to get with someone who I don't have sexual interest in. I found as years went on, there were fewer and fewer I found interesting sexually though.

8. You Come Up With Absurd Reasons To Call Things Off
I have. I'm not one to commit easily, once I do I'm all in.

9. You Love Being Single
No. I learned how to be good at being single. I can be rather introverted, reflective, and even isolate, but I still have a strong need to have a deep connection.

 

Accurate, some of them are
