Why Do You Really Want a Partner? 11 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Seek One

By Maria Moratto Though statistics can be (and many times are) manipulated to suit any group's best interest, we want to believe that they show the truth. In the case of partner or romantic love seeking, they cannot lie: The number of people, especially women, looking for a partner is staggering. It seems that with or without feminism, the truth is that very few women are content with living alone. The same is said for men. The apparent disregard at being associated with a life partner only shows their deep longing to getting attached to someone. If it is obvious that most of those who are not in a relationship want to be in one, it remains less certain why they want to be in one. Here are some reasons for your consideration: 1. You need a companion: someone with whom you can go shopping, go to the theatre and concerts, go on vacation, go on trips, go to parties and clubs, go to visit your family. 2. You need a hankie: a person to commiserate with; a shoulder for your head. 3. You need a playmate: a person with whom you can jog, or boat, or kayak, or swim, or exercise, or play tennis; or hike, or go bowling, or play beach volleyball. 4. You need a personal assistant: a person to whom you can delegate many of the tasks you don't want to perform such as going to the bank and balancing your checkbook and doing you taxes, or someone who can take your car to change the oil and wash and fix when it needs. 4. You need a "maid": a person who will clean your house, cook your meals, wash your clothes, rake the leaves; shovel the snow. 5. You need a parent: someone who will take care of you and give you attention and satisfy all your needs. 6. You need a handyman: a person who will fix the plumbing, bikes, roof, tile, appliances. 7. You need a geek: a person who will fix your computer and other electronic devices, install programs and hardware. 8. You need a valentine: a romantic person who will give you flowers, chocolates, jewelry, take you to romantic dinners, make wild sex by the fireplace and whisper they love you. 9. You need a parent to your children: a person who will help with homework, or drive to and from football matches and friends' houses, or go to PTA and teacher-parent meetings, or help prepare lunch and dress, and baby sit. 10. You need a business partner: someone who can share the responsibilities of maintaining and improving your business and who can also share the load of time you put into your business. 11. You want a provider: someone who will make money, maintain the household and provide for all your needs so you only have to live without a care in the world. 12. You need a buddy or a girlfriend: someone you can share you deepest secrets and fears and emotions over a cup tea and chocolate cake or someone you can enjoy going to a bar, have some beers and look at beautiful women. 12. You want a friend: someone with whom you have great conversations, someone who cares for you, who makes you laugh, who understands and accepts you as you are, who hold your hands while you sleep, who shares your life-history, who cheers for you and who gives you peace and genuine unconditional love. Now, there are many more reasons why a person may be induced to seek a partner. Are you sure you want a partner? If you are in need of any of the above type of people, except for the last one, you don't really need a partner. Just hire someone to do the things you need. Only when you can absolutely stand on your own, complete, without any of these needs, you are in a good position to find your true life partner. And that is a darn good reason for doing so.
