Is it just me?

Totally NOT just you, they come out of the freaking wood work!! All I have to say is THANK GOD, it works that way otherwise I would probably have dated more mistakes, as NO ONE is even remotely similar to Ian.

Hmm.... not really. :P Like 90% of my friends have always been guys, so nothing's really changed. I think the confidence you give out when you get into a relationship would draw other people in, though

Totally, it's about wanting what you can't have. Drives people crazy when you are confident and indifferent to their advances because you are in a relationship.

I dunno about the others here, but personally when I was single and I used to go out with or meet someone I fancied or was trying to impress I tended to 'censor' what I said a bit more. I kinda held back and thought about what I said before I said it...

In contrast, when I went out and was taken, I never bothered 'censoring' anything because I wasn't trying to impress anyone! I just went out to enjoy myself, Really weirdly, I got more attention from the opposite sex when I was being myself and not holding back than when I am!

So for the last 6-7 years I've been doing the whole, 'I am who I am, take it or leave it' thing and really honestly not caring what other people think. To begin with inside I did care, I just projected it outside that I didn't. But after around a year of doing it I actually started not caring inside too! Its such a liberating feeling to be able to go out, speak to anyone, do anything and be exactly who I am without caring what anyone else thinks of me!

You should try it! Its hard work to begin with but once you get going... rawr! :P

It's a confidence thing. When you're in a relationship, most people tend to be happier, more confident and self-assured. And as we all know, confidence is sexy.

It's the opposite for me (Thank God!)
