You have the ability to be in a relationship. Sometimes I'm anxious to enter into a relationship—any relationship—simply for the experience, just to prove I can do it. If I can just find one person to commit to me, I could start feeling I'm attractive and deserving of better. Of course, it doesn't last because I don't put any effort into it. But still, it's easier said than done. 5. You're used to being on your own. Now that you have some distance, you realize how much you need another person in your life. You want to be in a relationship because you know it's good for you, even if you can't explain exactly why. 6. You want to make someone happy. There are times when I think that if only I could put a smile on my partner's face, everything would be fine. The fact is that no matter how hard I try, I can't always give my partner the happiness he or she deserves. But when you're in a relationship, you try harder because you know there's no way out unless you both agree. 7. You want to share your life with someone. I believe that everyone needs something to hold on to, something secure. For some people this means having their own house, for others it may be money, but for most of us it's someone to share our lives with.
