What I miss most about having a boyfriend is having someone special to call anytime, anywhere. Whether I'm stuck in traffic, waking up from a nightmare at 3 AM, or just can't sleep, a significant other would always have his phone by his bedside, just in case. I miss knowing someone would willingly wake up just to keep me company, not because he's being polite, but just because.
Friends are great and all, but it's not the same. I've got friends who don't mind the occasional 3 AM call, but I still feel guilty for waking them. Plus, eventually, they'll find their own partners and I’ll be back to counting sheep alone.
I know this sounds a bit selfish, but I miss being there for someone special too. I like feeling needed and knowing I can be there for someone just as much as they are for me.
Man isn’t meant to be alone. I'm not afraid of being alone—I’d rather have no company than bad company. It’s the loneliness that bothers me. It's not about being with just anyone; it’s about being with the right one.
