I hate the word boo. It is the most juvenile, foolish, uneducated way to of saying significant other, girlfriend, or boyfriend. And if you don’t know, now you know. You can find that and other urban/slang words for practically everything else here at urban dictionary. But despite my utter detest for the word, oddly enough it has a strange kind of ring to it. So much so, that when I began generating ideas about starting a blog about life while being single, I thought no other term fitting than being boo-less. Now don’t get me wrong there is so much more to life than being in a relationship but let’s face it, those things really enhance ones life. Relationships are on every ones mind. And when you aren’t in one, you can approach it in a variety of ways: you can spend your singleness being bitter that you aren’t in one, live life to the fullest truly content in your singleness, or be honest that you really wish you had one. I choose the later and so talking about one or the lack there of one will suffice for now. And although, as a result of this blog, I run the risk of being written off as some pathetic chick, I’d much prefer the term helpless romantic.
So there you have it…..Boo-less-ness [also defined as the state of being without your boo]:
The highs and the lows;
Advantages and disadvantages;
The perks and the drawbacks;
The ups and the downs.
Your comments are welcome, whether you’re boo-less or not.
Ah rah…I’m content in my state of singleness [honestly speaking] and not ashamed of it either! I proudly confess that I am single and happy! Now, granted, I had my share of sporadic moments of feeling “boo-lessness” but those moments became a far distant memory or desire when I began to focus on the not so successful relationships I have been in already. Sad to say, those experiences have left a bitter sweet taste in my mouth and can’t seem to rinse it out with the thought of having a new open mind to relationships. I guess it’s safe to say that my singleness chooses highlights the [advantages] of being boo-less than being boo-full…he he he

well, being over here in Germany, it’s sometimes best to be single. Hmm, but I do miss the companionship of someone worthy, you know? “Helpless romantic”? Ah, you gotta explain that one to me, I’m curious about it;-)

Hey there damages! Thanks for stopping by! Hope you return often. I’m curious to know why it’s best to be single in Germany (unless you aren’t a permenant resident there and are there temporarily)? And I’ll tell you what, I’ll devote and entire post to what a helpless romantic is, at least what my take on it is

nice nice:-) yeah, I’m curious as to know your motivation for writing such blogs, you know? so…it’s better to be single over here because these girls are a little uh…wishy-washy. Most only want a relationship with you so they can get that “golden ticket” to the US. It’s sad, but very true, and…their idea of the term “relationship” is quite the opposite of what we consider it as. I’m in the Army- I’m here temporarily, going on year 3 here so far:-(

again, I am so happy to have found your BLOG… I love it.. I am in a state of singleness and HAPPY.. I’ve identified myself in long term relationships (i have the replace my father syndrome) since I was 12… so young, and now I am 29.. It’s a process and I’ve never been happier being single! I am a hopeless romantic, and I have been burned.. sometimes I rock out to “Through With Love” by Destiny’s Child.. but I know deep inside, I’m not going to stop Loving, since it is my natural state.. NOW it’s just a time to make sure that if Iever fall again, it is WITH SOMEONE WHO DESERVES ME…
This is my MANTRA:
“LOVE”

Yes, I myself have an entire play-list devoted to those moments when u try to convince yourself ur thru with love, or talk yourself out of your longing for it. LOL.
I was thinking about my next post before I read your comment and it is definitely along the lines of what your talking about [I may need to quote you] LOL!!
Two posts I’ve written come to mind though that I think you’d enjoy on this subject:
Rough Drafts of Love [May 2009] &
Love: The Ultimate Bull Ride [Dec. 2008]
I’d be interested in ur take on em.

well, I’ve been single for almost a whole year and sometimes, it is best if you wait for the right person rather than wasting your time with the wrong person. eh, I guess that’s how I see it…

Man, I got to say this girls, There is not one couple on this planet who is idea for a booless
woman who has issues. Women have so much power of guys but they often begin cattering to them early in the relationship and before you know it, the guys in control with high demands.
Someone said, Whats love got to do with it? I say everything, you can lay around hot and bothered without a Boo or what ever and be and end up really lonly, or end up with a lazy worthless pig who isn’t worth the dirt under your porch. You want a nice guy, ask him who he is, where he is from and to prove it. Look at his history, don’t be afraid to let a guy know you are checking him out and for heavens sake, run the hell away when he begins to lie and cry. Good Luck Girls, its ruff I bet, but happiness never comes if you don’t seek it out.
OH Yes, Merry Christmas

Girl I see you’ve been writing a lot! I need to catch up! I’m glad you’re still doing your thing. After all, you were the one who got me started when you suggested I start my own blog. If you promote your postings through any other methods the way I do on facebook and via email, please add me to your list of contacts. Love you much and stay blessed.
