"Nope, I've been single for a while, but I am in the process of remedying the situation I don't like it because things are more fun when you have someone to share them with. E.G. would you rather enjoy a nice sunset or meal with someone you cared about, or by yourself. I personally would rather share it with someone else. Of course the previous statement is voided, when you care about yourself more than anyone else ie you are self centered, in which case the person in question would be sharing the events with someone else, namely their own ego."

Interesting. But do you ever wonder what the state of the Self would be if your relationship turned out disastrous? What pulls you through? Is not it the Self? Or do you stay in the relationship in order to avoid the demon: Self? I have trouble comprehending your reasoning here. Isn't the idea of a relationship to put two whole selves and make into one? So how could you have a healthy relationship if you completely deny the ego and nurturing the ego before getting involved with someone else? Granted, a measure of too much ego is unhealthy, but I'm referring to a sustainable ego. Do you realise that you're basically implying that most human beings are absolutely on the wrong side since the ego comes first? Why are there many people that are single but happy? Do you think they are in denial or overtaken by the ego? Well, I guess the USA is an exception. Too many people are like you, I'm afraid. And by the way, don't ask me to translate this to German for you, 'cuz I can't and I won't.

"Engaged. Looking foward to my wedding in 3 months."

Oh, Lord! This is a joke, right? Or do you mean you're engaged to yourself and wedding yourself in 3 months (i.e., the ego coming to play)? LMAO! Let it be so at worst, otherwise this is really weird. Some people are really weird. You said you were single and in the process of remedying the situation, but then overnight you're engaged. Don't you think that's such a drastic move for remedying your single status? I can see why I'm so afraid of marriage (not the ceremony). People do crazy things, and then they add to the gloomy statistics. Best of luck to you.

Thank God, I'm single and loving it. Some day if whilst enjoying my ride I catch Mr. Right, then I'll kidnap him and hold tight to him.

Kein Problem Schatz. Du brauchst nicht deine Sätze aufs Deutsch zu übersetzen.

Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. Some people prefer to be alone, I prefer to share experiences with others. For kicks I took a test at www.emode.com about what drives your emotion, and it told me, my emotion was based on compassion. I am curious what your emotion is based on.

Nothing wrong with a little bit of ego to get you through life, and my statement wasn't a blanket one to cover all single people, it was in reference to those people who are so in love with themselves, that they are incapable of being in love with everyone else. Try not to get hung up on the symantics dear, I know it's in your lawyerly nature to do so.

My reference to being engaged, was in fact a joke, as I have yet to meet a woman that I would consider making my wife. I am willing to wait however, because when the time comes I intend to marry once and be done with it.

As for you, well kidnapping is illegal in most states, and I highly doubt Mrs. Right would be happy that you took her loving husband away from her. Then again, since you enjoy being single so much, there shouldn't be a need to kidnap anyone.
