Female? ...Single? ...Furry?

[Taiga]

Yeaaah.  Careful with posting up your single, you could end up with a loser trying to suck you dry if you have anything to offer...or worse. :o

[Renwaldo]

Well it's furry. . . and it's somewhat female. . . and it is single. . .

If I may comment for just a moment, if your sole criteria hinge on whether or not a potential mate is furry, you may be somewhat disappointed. Relationships truly require more than a shared hobby to survive. Develop an interpersonal connection with someone else, and for heaven's sakes, understand them as a human being; That's what you're going to be interacting with on a day to day basis, not merely their artistic persona in an online environment. In nearly a decade in fandom, I've seen that happen time and time again, regardless of the orientation involved. Heterosexual, homosexual, closed partnership, open, it's irrelevant; Never, ever form a relationship on the sole basis of "Person X is creed/political affiliation/hobby Y inclined". Form one on the basis of "Person X is appealing to me, I understand person X, and person X understands me".

I apologize for bringing this up, but the original post focuses on precisely three points, about... oh, five hundred less points of data you should understand about someone before you try to cultivate relations with them. Granted, casual sex is another matter (And one to be approached with care as a subject independent of relationships), but that's a kettle of fish to be stirred on a non-PG forum. Try simply forming interpersonal connections, before forming the intent to forge a relationship. I've yet to date anyone personally with the intention of simply dating them outright upon first meet; Haven't done so, don't plan to anytime soon; If I date again, it will be a matter of spontaneity, not purposeful pursuit.

When you've never had a relationship... I, personally, don't find being single something to celebrate. How do I know which I like more if I haven't tried both?

Same here. There is also that extra dimension of facing rejection if you actively seek that special someone. I gave up on actively searching 2 months ago.

i agree

[twotailz]

and your right I dont know which I like more cause i never have been in a relationship but at the same time even trying to get into one in the past has been more than unsuccessful and lets face it rejection does suck and sometimes it hurts. but that being said id rather just wait for someone to come along thats truely worth it before i bother trying to start a first relationship. and I wouldnt call it celebrating as much as appreciation in the sense that its a beacon of hope or something for real happiness, but thats just me.

I more or less don't look around. I let people come to me. Yeah being single gets lonely, but a relationship takes away precious time from your friends. I've only been in 1 relationship and it's got as many problems as being single. Either way I try to stay neutral about whether or not I have someone.

Yeah, I have only gone after guys a few times... but have been rejected each time. Now I am shy about doing it again.

I'm the exact same way, especially about the shyness.. I mostly wait for them to come to me, but no luck since my last mate... and.. it gets rather lonely when you become a "third wheel" around friends, or when another one of your friends tells you every so often that they have a new boyfriend.. again and again..! *le sigh*

[Van_Fox]

But then again you cant just wait around for something that might or might not happen. If you want something then you pursue it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We all want those story book movie romances, but the sad truth is it doesnt always come to that.

[SilverRose]

Im very blessed with a few good friends whom i can snuggle with.
But being single does often make one feel like the third wheel. And with soo many animals planning anything can be tough.
