My View on Relationships

Ok...a few people have asked me what my view on relationships are so since Valentines Day is coming up, I thought I would go ahead and do a post on the topic so here it goes....As some of you know I havent been in a relationship since December 2002, I did not have one in 2003 cuz of me going in the Navy. To be honest, I am not ready for another one because I am afraid of getting hurt again. It took me a while to get over the last one so why would I put myself through that pain all over again? I mean I'm not saying I will be single for the rest of my life, im just saying I'm not ready to date again. I am actually happy being single. Some people have to have someone 24/7 but not me. I am happy being with myself. Its also hard for me to get into a relationship here cuz I know I wont be here in Italy forever. When I get back to the States., I might start dating again. But until then, I''m single and loving it!
