My mother thinks I’m a commitment phobe. I actually just like being single. Read on to find out my reasons for not having a boyfriend.

Despite the dire statistics surrounding the state of marriage in the United States, I never really had friends with divorced parents when I was growing up. We all trusted that our parents would be one unit for as long as we needed them to be and as far as I can remember none of us ever feared that they would decide to go their separate ways. Luckily, we each got to the other side of adolescence with the same amount of stability that we entered with.

We want to live our lives independently and satiate our sexual needs without emotional commitment.
