I am 28 years old, single, and as glad as can be! I get to focus almost all of our energy and effort on myself, our life goals, self-improvement, and of course, leisure time! I do have those few friends and relatives that know that I must be miserable being single at such an age. They couldn’t be more wrong. Do I long for companionship now and again? Sure, I do. But being completely independent and free is fun and awesome. In fact, I entirely worry about what I might lose should I end up falling in like with someone. Take the way I like to heat and cool our home, for example. I am undoubtedly meticulous about making sure that our Heating, Ventilation and A/C program is officially and correctly serviced. The reason is simple: I use it all the time. Yes, our utility bills would be a lot lower if I didn’t, but I get to be super comfortable no matter what the temperature or humidity level outside is. I don’t take it for granted being so comfortable, and occasionally I just sigh in joy and lean back as I like either the nice cool breeze from the air vents in the summer time or the comforting warmth in the winter. But what if I ended up with someone who had opposite serious temperature preferences? I don’t know if I could deal with that. It seems like a petty thing to be a deal-breaker for a relationship, but I’ve grown to be quite comfortable doing things our way. I might be asking that hypothetical man about their control component preferences quite early on in our relationship!
