Just a generalized statement.
Ive heard of “mush” but it’s experience is making me more and more confused about where I’m heading.
But I guess it’ll all make sense one day.
I’m still single. I’ve dated a couple of guys since I last posted here, but they were both way too clingy, and this guy who’s interested right now is also clingy.
I don’t know what it is with guys my age. They bring up the word ‘love’ way too soon and start talking about getting married. That’s become ‘the thing’ that makes me call it off.
Ugh, I hate clinginess. First off, I do not like being touched. Period. 
And I hat it when the person obsesses over me, because then I feel guilty, because I…don’t do that.
I personally believe that it’s not right for a guy to touch a gal he’s not married to.
When I start dating I’m going to make sure I keep my boundaries.
As I don’t want to ruin it for myself or (more importantly) my girlfriend (to be).
I’m completely the same way! About being touchy, I mean. I like have this zone that I really prefer no one to enter. It’s always seemed like everyone else has a distinct smell that is foreignly appalling… as long as you keep you’re distance, I’m fine, but if anyone gets too close… 
S 330: Hehe I like your description there… “mush”.
Yeah. It was the best I could think of.
But yes.
I can’t handle when one of my friends (a girl) wants to give me a friendly hug.
I become stiff. Almost like I don’t want to touch my surroundings or have been a soldier brought at attention.
When I said clingy I just meant texting me every 5 minutes, wanting to see me all the time, afraid I’m going to leave (which is normally what clinginess causes with me). I don’t necessarily mean ‘touching’, but I did know this one dude who felt it necessary to snuggle against me or take my hand all the time, when I barely knew him. It made my skin crawl and I’d awkwardly remove myself from him. It’s weird because, in writing, I like it when characters snuggle, but in real life … idk, because of that creeper, I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with random snuggling. Come to think of it, I don’t even HUG people anymore because of him. One arm brief hugs, yeah, but no real hugs.
Also he had this other thing that bugs me about guys - he’d run up to and affectionately hug any friend of his who showed up and happened to be a girl. I didn’t know him enough or care enough to be jealous, but that sort of thing irks me. I mean, what sort of moron would show affection towards girls whilst in the middle of trying to get to know a girl they’re trying to seriously date? I wished I had a frying pan in my back pocket just so I could hit him over the head with it.
I actually completely agree. And that goes both ways, too. Hey, I’ve met some pretty perverted girls. 
Snipe: Smells don’t bother me, just textures and feelings. I hate carpet when my feet are wet, so I wear shoes. I just dislike it when people touch me. I don’t even hug people unless somebody died, or…that’s it. I can’t remember the last time I hugged either of my parents. 
It is interesting being single. There is freedom but I rather have a good girlfriend. I have had girlfriends but not sure if I have had a good one yet .
The only good one is the one you marry. 
Incredgirl- I think that is probably right
Sometimes I feel like Ted Mosby from how I met your mother. My life is a series of events to when I will meet the mother of my kids I guess.
To me, all others are a waste of time. I guess I’m just too systematic, but if someone doesn’t complete your life and need you, they’re a waste of time.
There will be people that everyone will think are “the one.” But then you won’t have the absolutely awesome feeling. I guess it is somewhat trail and error.
Probably so.
I agree 
Yay! Agreement is good.
Ehh, call me cynical but I think marriage is overrated. I think it’s not for everyone and if you can be happy all on your lonesome, more power to you. I’m currently working on that.
Like in 500 days of Summer (a film I recommend to everyone) I doubt I’ll be truly happy until I find the love of my life.
No, I’m not implying that everyone should get married. But I mean the only good partner is someone who loves you for who and what you are, and one you can do the same for.
IncredigirlVirginia: I didn’t think you were implying that. I just don’t agree with the stereotype that happiness means marriage and babies. I mean, I find myself perfectly content with my daily distractions : video editing, writing, and drawing. Yeah, in the down time I do get lonesome and wish I could meet that ‘special someone’. But I’m trying to be happy just being with myself and taking care of myself. I really value my independence.
