Honestly, you become a little lazy.
You like them, but not enough to get dressed and drive for miles.
Not to mention, after being alone for so long, the idea of affection is intimidating.

Going out on dates, holding hands, and kissing arent usually on your agenda.
Youre worried youre going to screw them all up somehow.
When you have been single for a large gap of time, disappointment becomes an old friend of yours.
You expect them to fade out of your life after a while.
You expect them to date someone new without warning and cause your stomach to sink.
You expect to be led on for months and then dropped like a fly.

When you have beensingle for a large gap of time, everyone tries to play matchmaker.
Meanwhile, you couldnt care less about dating.
You just want to grab a pizza and talk about work or something.
You decide that it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.
Youve been fine so far, so what difference would a few more years make?
To expand your social circle.
To figure out who you are and what you want.
You have the freedom to learn more about the universe and the people hidden inside of it.
You have the ability to do whatever the hell you want with your own timeline.
