-As I get older, I get more intention to get married... However, it's difficult to find a good person...ㅋㅋ
-I have experienced violence in relationship before and it gives me anxiety. That's why I am very happy with being single right now. I am very grateful to know that I'm safe.
-I have zero thoughts to get married. I don't date and I don't think I'll ever want to. I'm just very happy with my life right now.
-I'm happy with being on my own!
-I agree. Honestly, I just want a friend with benefit. I know relationships don't work for me, so I never bother to start one.
-First of all, it's hard to find a good person. Thinking about marriage and even childbirth... I think I'm the one at loss here.
-I'm happy with being single, it's really peaceful. The only thing I need right now is money.
-Being a fangirl is super fun, so why bother being in a relationship? I don't want to put my life at risk.
-It's really really comfortable with being single. There are times I would look back at the times I was desperate of being in a relationship, I don't recognize that side of myself at all nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I've been going on blind dates because of my mom and it's giving me a really hard time. The men was never the problem, it's just really hard for me. It annoys me when they text me. I have to pretend to like them and be friendly with them, it feels like I'm working overtime. I feel sorry that they're wasting their time on me, but there's nothing I can do. It's unfair but I don't want to blame it on my mom. There are people around me who get married and are actually happy with their marriage life, I'm not in denial, but even after seeing them, I still have no thoughts to get married. I think I'd f*cking love my child if I ever give birth to them, but this world is way too cruel for them. I hope there would be nurse robots when I'm older...
-It gets lonely sometimes, but it's better than dating the wrong person because it could ruin your life...
-Women are the ones who give birth, why do men feel like they have the place to talk about their intention to have child?
-Isn't it obvious? There's more to lose than to gain when you start dating. I'd rather be a fangirl my whole life.
