Singles of Reddit - why are you single at this moment in your life?

Because I want to be. I got out of a 4 year relationship that was severely dysfunctional, one-sided, frustrating, and completely draining a little over a year ago. I'm happier than I've been in a long time. I absolutely love my freedom to come and go as I please without having to worry about someone else. I love being able to have adventures and explore my interests without being questioned or made fun of. I feel relaxed and at ease. Aside from the last relationship putting me off to wanting to do that again any time soon, I really think I'm someone who is happier living and being alone. I have great friends, I've met some cool people and have gotten some opportunities that I don't think I would have otherwise. The thought of dating and the whole dance that goes along with it is unappealing to Looking back, I've always felt a bit anxious in relationships, and it's just not worth it to me anymore. I've also lost interest in sex, at least the drive to seek it out. It's quite freeing actually. Sometimes i think it would be nice to have someone to share adventures with, but right now I just don't care that much.
