What exactly is a Significant other? Well, by my definition, it is the person that you are in a committed relationship with. By committed I mean steady and loyal partners, and seeing no other person. * How does this affect your life then, having a significant other? Well, you find yourself (at the beginning at least) constantly thinking about that person, wanting to spend every waking moment with them, and maybe even getting "butterflies" in your stomach when they are around you.
Why then does one want a "significant other"? All of the sudden you have no free time, no time to be by yourself, and maybe you even forget about some hobbies you used to do in your free time. After contemplating this for a long time, I have come up with an answer. Of course the obvious answer is that you "love" this person, or you just enjoy spending time with them. My answer would be that, in having a significant other, you are officially in a club: A very exclusive club. This club gives you the privileges of being "mushy" around others and in public with your other, finding it "cute" when others are "mushy" in public, always having someone to do something with, and always having someone to think about. This above all else is why I want a significant other.
At this point you're thinking to yourself "This person is crazy!� But if you think about it for a while, you will realize I am right. If you don't have a significant other at this time, you should realize my theory is totally correct. When you go out with people, they bring their other, and you feel like a third wheel. The movies are horrible. When there's a scary part, whom are you going to cuddle up next to, or who is going to grab your arm in fear? Who is going to hold your hand while walking down Main Street? Who is going to roller blade with you at the rink when it's the couple's only skate? Now you're thinking, "God, this girl is depressing", and you're right. But think about how much happier you would be if you had a significant other. Or, if you already have one, try to remember when you didn't, and longed to find someone so bad. Longed for that companionship, to be in that nonexistent club that your friends are in.
Here's what I propose. Here and now, I am stating the opening of a "Singles Club". This gives you privileges to gag at the sight of "mushy" couples, not listen to love songs at night, walk hand in hand with your best friend, (guy or gal) down Main Street. Have huge parties and invite only single friends. Do whatever it takes, to counter their nonexistent club. Eat all the chocolate you want, and laugh hilariously at the problems that couples have. Spend all of your free time doing something worthwhile, working on your favorite hobby, or something that just slightly interests you. Even just sit on the couch and waste your free time. It's yours, do whatever you want. And if the time comes, you find that special someone, and you join their club, good for you. Until then, live it up. We only have one life to live, so give it your best. Just remember, there are us out there feeling just like you, and if you ever get depressed, call us. We'd be more than happy to join your party!
