The NaNoWriMo Singles Lounge http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/851 sushimustwrite Hey, what's this place doing so empty? theanab? Matt? Oh that's right. It's the Lounge Minion's job to start the new thread. At least I get some of the leftover Ben and Jerry's from last year as a reward. So singles of NaNo, come in, chill, and have a good old time. I have quite a recent story in attempted relationships that will be saved for a post outside the first one. But don't touch the gold monkey. That one's all mine.

I've liked this guy for awhile. He happens to be a friend of mine, as well as a Wrimo in my region. We also happen to hang out a fair bit, and this weekend we went on a caving trip together with a bunch of other cavers. After that ended we had a bunch of extra supplies so we went ahead and went camping for another night at a nearby park. We tend to do stuff like this together--camping, hiking, pub crawling (and pirate-themed at that). So feelings started to develop on my end, and on the way back to my place today I went ahead and told him. It went something like this: Me: You probably figured this out by now, but I like you. Him: Is that a proposal? Me: Depends. Do you want it to be? Him: Well, I hate to break your heart, but I don't want anything more. Oh well. I can pinpoint some reasons why he would make a terrible boyfriend, but to be fair, there wasn't really any awkwardness while we went back to my place and I gave him his Tupperware container back and walked him out of my apartment and we talked for awhile before he left. Given how far he lives from me in this huge region, we'll see how much of an effort he makes to see me for write-ins and such during NaNo season and if maximum awkwardness will ensue since I am one of his MLs. And then I tweeted somewhat cryptically about it, and people started asking, so I told them (without mentioning his username), and some folks attempted to figure out who it was. Not sure if they succeeded or not. This must be what being famous is like. However, he is still a good friend, so at least I have that.

I felt kinda strange when I stared into the Writing Groups and Clubs Forum. Tingly almost, so I didn't start this thread. It somehow felt wrong that I should start it, so I chickened out and waited for a much braver soul to do the dirty work for me. Now Sushi has. I've only been around this thread a couple of years but I am forever single. Is it for a lack of trying? Some would say "yes." Some others would just say "peaches." But we try and ignore those people as they make me confuzzled. After years of scattershot research, the results of the survey I commissioned are in and I can reveal that the overwhelming trend is that I am not catnip to the ladies. Was that a waste of $5? My crack research team says that you cannot buy crack for $5, so in the end you have to say to yourself "perhaps". But those with enquiring minds would ask what crack has to do with catnip. The answer to this is that I have no idea. I believe we may never find the answer as it is a riddle wrapped in an enigma shoved on a stick and covered in chocolate chip pancake batter. Perhaps there is some evidence as to why I remain single, but you won't find it in this post as I am certain that I have managed to hide my flaws from you, dear reader. I could write more, but I'm sure that you have given up reading by now. Matt. ---- Do you like an anti-climax? Then you love http://ilovemattfishwick.com - or maybe you won't.

Well, I'm theanab. Been around for a while, and have reached that stage where I'm good with singledom, but don't want to necessarily celebrate it--which is why I passed my forum-starting duties off the Sushi, and she's really done a lovely job of it.

Ah, yes, the kissing disease. However the last person I kissed didn't have it so I don't really know where I got it. But anyway, now I'm contagious. Ew, cooties. My love life wasn't going anywhere anyway. I think it's because I'm only attracted to about 0.5% of the population and plus I never learned how to flirt. Well, honestly, I still have issues from my last ex, and I'm better off single for now. So hi everyone. This seems like a nice place (especially if there's booze).

Here I am, ten months later, still as single as the number one. However -insert shifty eyes here- there is this guy I've been eyeing, and I know he's been eyeing me. Mostly by the fact that we've talked about how much we like each other... But anywho, I'm just waiting for him to ask. He's told me that if I ask, he'll ignore the question.

Some good news: Remember how I told you folks about the guy I like who doesn't have feelings for me? Well, I saw him twice in the past two days with no awkwardness. Hooray! I can live with that. This is good since he's also a Wrimo and I'm one of his MLs. Granted, this is also a huge region and he and I live pretty far apart. Also, he really sucks at Dixit (this board game involving storytelling and guessing which card is the storyteller's story--I think quite a few of you would like it). I turned out to be pretty good at it. Also, the game pieces are bunnies. A plot bunny reference? The world may never know.

Its the motivation I've been lacking that's for sure. Now it's going to be an agonizing long 12 days.

I was about here last year as well. Still very single. Most of the time I'm happy enough that way... to be honest I don't really have the time or money for the whole dating stuff at the moment.

I don't think I was here last year, but I've been single for the last 19 years - guess how old I am^^. So, storytime: Last year (my first year of Nano), I was all "So, I'm single, which normally sucks, but hey, no boyfriend, no heartbreak, no trouble, just me and my novel this month." What happened? 4 days into November, I'm taking 3 days off to go to some sort of annual youth meeting from this organisation called European Youth Parliament. I thought I was well prepared, I was ahead on my wordcount....and then, all of a sudden, I'm completly falling for this guy, who, strangely enough seems to like me too.. well let's just say, I didn't sleep much that night. But, of course, he's "just out of a relationship" and the "long distance probleme, you know" and so, all of this resulted in ten days, in which I didn't write anything but a 500 words piece about how men suck. Yeah, I really hope this year'll go better. But, as things are, the same meeting is again at the beginning of November, and of course HE'll be attending.... And this other kinda cute guy, I flirted with in August. So, let's see how this goes, I feel like I should write a LOT on the first days of November - or work in a subplot in which my MC is VERY depressed for about 10x1,667 words....

Washing clothes is more a problem as with no garden, I can only dry around house and limited amount of space. One of the best days that I had was back in May 2003 where there was the perfect amount of sun and wind. I did five-six washings that day as was doing some for a flatmate. As one washing came out the machine, another went in. The washing would then go out on the line as the previous washing was dry. It was fantastic!

So, being single for quite a few years, I am most happy about being on my own when I see how unhappy my coupled friends are. Discussions, frustrations, misunderstanding between partners that I never need to go through. Some times people look at me in pity and offer "solutions" to what they see as my "problem". I try to make them understand that being single is not a disease I've come to them to cure. Some times they even ask something like: "Wouldn't you love to be in a relationship?" and I have to make an effort not to answer "What for, to end up like you?" Even then, regardless of the joys of single life, I tried to tell a guy that I was falling in love with him. Just for the sake of honesty, and all that. "Can we talk?" (face that says, I'm busy) "What about?" "I'd rather be in private" "It's just to know how long it could take" "Well... I am beginning to have feelings for you" "Oh. That would a long conversation" Eventually, he agreed to get into a relationship. With somebody else.

Fourteen, at least. None of them got together with other guys to tell me. No, they each had to tell me by themselves. One was even a date that was set up by a couple I know. When I got home that evening, I called my friends who asked how the date had gone. "Well," I said, "he took me to lunch." "But how was it? Did you like him?" "Listen carefully. He took me to LUNCH." Silence. And then, "You're kidding me." Nope. Too true.

I'm single. I'll be turning 30 during NaNo this year, and I so don't know where the time went. I recently moved from just north of Seattle, WA to Wisconsin for my job. My great adventure! Or so I thought. :P Admidst all the non-singles at work and my co-workers going to a multitude of weddings, I find myself feeling the singleness of my life more than ever. Suppose it doesn't help my baby brother got married and I've been getting the "where's my great grandbabies?" question from my grandmother for the last 12 years... Um, I ramble, and I have no filter between brain and mouth, except when I'm writing my stories...then, my inner editor comes into full force...Although, thats not really a filter so much as that little (okay, oloud voice) in the back of your head saying, "It sucks, cut it cut it now before it sees the light of day, zomg, cut it!" I know what polyamorous is... I know a couple people who are. There was a club in Seattle that had Poly nights amongst other theme nights. Always wanted to go check it out, but never was curious enough to make the 45min drive down to find it...not to mention the whole staring at nude people thing...I'm a bit of a people watcher to begin with...used to un-nerve boyfriends during kissing...And there are a while lot of nude people there, or as close as you can get and still have semblance of clothes...or so my mom told me... yeah, i mentioned no filter, right?

I have been single for almost 7 years now. I tried dating.. but the selection of guys where I was living... well lets just say, I was better off alone. I have since moved to a much better place but have not had much of a chance to get out and meet any guys outside of a work environment. I have been focusing on other things for the past few years. Namely getting settled in my job, in my new community, raising A Teenager and sorting through a variety of rescue animals that come and go. Then on top of everything else.. I do something completely masochistic... like signing up to be the Municipal Liaison for my community. Go figure... Now I guess the reason I don't date is because I am too busy to find anyone. Well at least I am not overly boring (shhh its a secret... don't tell my kids that) Carrie Thu, 27 Oct 2011 05:04:45 +0200 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/851?page=5#forum_thread_comment_241289 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/writing-groups-and-clubs/threads/851?page=5#forum_thread_comment_241289 theanab Dating is overrated.

I found you! This is my 10th year doing NaNo, and I've poked my head into the singles lounge quite a few times during those years. I've been single since I moved to Japan more than two and a half years ago. Everyone I meet that I'm interested in is already attached, is Japanese and not interested in dating foreign women, or is foreign and only wants to date Japanese women. Anyone who actually shows interest in me is never anyone I want to date (or, upon going out with them a couple times, I no longer have interest in going out with again). I'm usually okay with single life - I'm really independent, so I like the freedom of being single, and I have tons of amazing friends and generally have a fulfilling social life - but this year all of my closest friends suddenly went from being fellow singles to being in serious relationships. Feeling a bit left out and miserable and no-one-will-ever-love-me as a result, as well as occasionally third-wheely (or fifth-wheely or seventh-wheely). C'est la vie.

The one I had this thing going on with last year which got me into a writer's block for one and a half weeks? Fun story: I met him again a week ago, fell - again - in love with him, and now Facebook tells me he's started a relationship with our common friend. None of us live in the same city, but last year, he just "wasn't up to a long-distance relatonship." Now I'm going to spend my Christmas with a group of people, that of course also contains those two. Hurray.

The truth is that I haven't been on the forums much since midOctober. I blame MLing and all the other stuff I have to do. Aaaaah. Still single, haven't met any other prospects. My region is lacking hot single Wrimos (well, besides the friend I mentioned who does not like me back). This is a shame.

Last night though I finally found my old notes for the novel that I was SURE I'd written somewhere - I thought they were in an email, but they were HAND-WRITTEN (how cute) in a notebook. Anyway, finding the notes sort of injected me with some fresh enthusiasm &amp; gave me a picture (and new ideas) of where to go with the story.

I wrote 50,105 words over the month and validating the novel gave me 50,106 words. Congratulations to everyone this month, no matter what your word count is. This also happens to be my 38th post this year. This also happens to be my favourite number, which I believe it also rather appropriate. Here's to more writing in the off season.
