1 Cuddling while going to bed.
2, Someone to help you cook and cleans up the dishes (together)
3, Someone to bring you coffee (even while in bed)
4. Says you look beautiful even with morning hair that is everywhere except how it should look.
5. Someone to eat with and have a conversation about your day.
6. Someone to come home to and gives you a hug and kiss and says hi babe , how was your day.
7. Someone to lay side by side on couch while watching tv, snuggling
8. Someone who let's you have your space
9. Someone who shares the remote
10. Someone who can scratch there balls, fart, pick there nose, scratch there boobs, or there crotch.
11. When in bed your feet are cold and they wrap there feet around to warm you
12. Someone to go grocery shopping with and you sneak a kiss or groping his dupa
13. If they wanna watch porn watch it together or go into bedroom till there done (or maybe stay right there )
14. Someone to help with the chores, cleaning and doing wash
15. Get's gas for you when see's it low.
16. Those tender passionate kisses while passing into another room
17. Those tickling fights, sort of like wrestling
18. Laughing at your silly jokes and doesn't mind while you laugh and snort at the same time.
19. Holding hands while walking
20. Walking the dog together and even holding hands
21. A call to see if Im safe or a call to just say I miss or Love you
22. A best friend
23. Someone worrying about my health
24. A shoulder to lean on
25. Someone to sit on the porch swing and laugh till your belly hurts, talk and watch the stars
26. Someone who let's you be goofy, silly and not be embarassed
27. Someone who thinks of you first and them 2nd
28. Someone who will protect me when needed (even though Im independent)
29. Someone who will work under the hood of your car with you and wipe grease on your nose.
30. Someone who likes to tink and help wash the cars and spray the water on you.
31. When your car breaks down someone to say honey I will be right there.
32. Someone who helps take turns taking the trash out.
33. Someone who says your sweating I will finish mowing the yard.
34. Someone who says on a Saturday or Sunday let's just take a drive a spur of the moment to spend quality time together,
35, Having mornings, afternoon delights, evening love making sessions (ooooooo lala)
36. Taking shower's and someone to scrub your back and wash your hair *fanning myself here*
37. When making a sandwich for themselves and brings you one too!
38. Most of all gives you UNCONDITIONAL LOVE in every aspect of it ALL.
The list could go on and on......anyone have there opinions on whether being single or in a relationship? Which is better?

Really neither is "better". Each simply "is" and for every positive or negative it is possible to find its opposite.
The whole trick is to accept where you are at, and if you dream of having more then do the inner work first. And only then begin to move towards creating a reality that serves or reflects it.

Thanks for your imput sciurusniger. You are right in many aspects of it all. It's just I kinda got tired of seeing the downfall in alot of the threads. To much negative and not enough positive in the things that go along with a good relationship. And no each is not better, thanks for clarifying that to me! Again a woman with so little words with depth and meaning to them. I enjoy your comments

I love it when the awkward silences cease to be awkward and turn into comfortable silences.And no words are necessary.
I like the sense of companionship, not only that someone is with me, but out of all the people in their life, they chose ME to spend time with. It's a really good feeling.
I like the physical touch in a relationship. There's something about getting a hug from someone you cherish that cannot be put into words. Or just holding hands.
The intellectual puzzle of their mind. I love picking their brain, learning how they feel about things, why they feel that way, and comparing and contrasating their postions with those of my own.
The emotional connection, the trust, the feeling of emotional safety, and shared history with someone special who cares.I like the trust that one developes in a relationship over time.. its a wonderful feeling to know that you can trust someone and that they can trust you.

Gracie, my friend...
# 9- WHAT were you thinking! 
# 10- 
I think there are perks to both being alone as well as with someone. But, at least if you have someone in your life, and you can trust one another, you can still have your own space, your own friends, your own trips, etc. Its hard to add somebody to do all these things you mention on as "as needed" basis! Except very good friends. But you don't get the physical then.

loreli Im on #10.........
Yes it isn't always an as needed. I just kinda felt like people give up always looking for the downside of a relationship. Instead of more negative we need more positive in hopes and dreams and of course our fantasy!

To me, there's nothing like the feeling that somebody actually cares about you and shows it.
Yes, you may get that from family, friends, and coworkers, but that's not the same emotional and physical intimacy you get in a serious relationship.

Very True Motown
Nothing beats the touch, the feel, the smell, the wanting aspect of the emotional and physical intimacy of a relationship that sometimes we have been known to push it aside from time to time.
Family, friends and co-workers its not the same. Im a touchy feely kinda person but rather feel it other ways.

How to be quiet with your partner. To sit and be comfortable, not saying anything.

Ahhh...There is that word "relationship."
How about those that are single AND in relationship(s)???
25. Someone to sit on the porch swing and laugh till your belly hurts, talk and watch the stars
This also works on the phone out of the 100 mile radius, no swing or stars needed just the forums.

anyone have there opinions on whether being single or in a relationship? Which is better?
Why does there have to be a decision between the two?
First,in answer to your first question,the first item on your list must be friendship.
If we could first become best of friends before lovers wouldnt that let you be both....single and in a relationship.
"Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them.A true friend is one soul in two bodies" Aristotle
Best of friends become that way by being unjudgemental of each other,accept each others opinion regardless if it is like our own, are never obsessed with who is the better person about anything and can fight about a disagreement between each other and five minuters later forget about it.
If we could all just believe in each others own SINGLE individuaity we could then enjoy the comfort of being IN A RELATIONSHIP.
That is the advantgae of having both.

Yes Jankia, being comfortable in our own skin so to say. Our own individuality. Yes I do believe we don't need to agree on everything to be our own indivduals and comfortable with it.
No there doesn't have to be a decision. It just seems more is focused on the not so good relationship. Being single is better is what I am getting in some of the forums. Being single or being in a relationships have both the perks. I just wanted everyone to be positive instead of negative. We emphasis more on the bad then what use to be the good. I usually am not a judgemental person. Cause I always remember the shoe on the other foot. (Figure of speech) ,
Katt you are correct. Sitting quietly without having to say something or strike up a conversation

There is a saying, not exact how it goes, but that a good relationship is one which you are as comfortable in silence with one another as you are in conversation.
I agree, Katt

To love and be loved.
To fully accept the other for who they are.
To be fully accepted for who I am
To laugh and to cry, together.
To truly listen and be listened to.
To know that silence is not a sign of discomfort, but a sign of being completely comfortable.
The sense of belonging, a feeling of "being home" with the other.....a knowing that you are home.
Intimacy, on every level......emotionally, physically,sexually, spiritually.
Oh, and can't forget that great make up sex
