Well, everyone who reads this blog knows that I’m single. And that I have my ups and downs on whether or not I really want to dive into a relationship…I guess it’s just a matter of finding the right person.

But even through the many bad dates and relationships I’ve had - I was thinking there are some things I miss about being in a relationship. Even through the fights and fuss, and more than the steady movie/event date and obligatory gift giving. More than just the stability and comfort of the routine you fall into when you’re in a relationship. It’s the intimacy I miss, and the little things you don’t often think about as they happen…but remember when they’re gone.

Sometimes I think maybe I’ve become bitter from being single for so long…but then I still remember the good things, and it reminds me that I want it again someday…

• I miss the hellos and goodbyes. The smile and rush of happiness you feel when you see him after being away for a long time, and the comfort and reassurance of the last hug before he goes away.
• I miss getting all dressed up to go out with him. And feeling like a princess when he looks at me and tells me how beautiful I am.
  
• I miss the feel of his hand on the small of my back, safely guiding and guarding me through a crowd.
• I miss how perfectly you can fit into the crook of his neck, your head falling into place on his shoulder.
• I miss that he knows when I’m done eating, because I start picking at and playing with my food.
• I miss the little happy buzz of seeing his name in my phone when he calls.
  
• I miss him knowing just the right buttons to push to aggravate me, but not make me mad.
• I miss knowing that yep,at the end of the night I’m going home with him - and that’s all I want to do.
• I miss the feeling of him brushing the hair gently from my eyes.
• I miss waking up in the morning and him pulling me closer.
• I miss making love…and meaning it.
  
• I miss picking out goofy little cards and gifts to give him for no reason.
• I miss cooking dinner and baking cookies for him - cause he thinks it’s so amazing.
• I miss holding hands and other little PDAs.
  

Yes, it’s true. I may be a smartass and a sassy, scandalous single gal, but deep down I’m just a hopeless romantic.
