I don't like using the term single . . . because it has a desperate terminology against it . . . . \n\nI rather used the term available.\n\nAvailiable to go out . . . do anything . . . do anyone . . . you want at anytime.

It depends. If you're happy being single and not always on the look out for a partner, then I'm sure that can be rewarding as you have much more freedom. You also miss out on alot. It's divine having someone to share everything with. I'm just not a single kind a girl and am sooo relieved I've met my soul mate. Sure life has it's ups and downs and nice to have our space. But having someone to come home to at the end of the day. Someone to kiss and cuddle and make passionate love to whenever you want......there's nothing better. So, for me...happiness is being married.

Personally, depending on how im feeling, I'd like to spend a lot of time with my boyfriend but every girl needs to be with her girls from time to time.  Being with the boyfriend too much can ruin a relationship.  When you're finally comfortable in your relationship and confident in the fact that nobody's gonna move in on your territory, then spending time with friends is better for everybody.

Nah, you don't need one.  Have as much fun as you can without one.  Enjoy your free time and not stressing about it.  One will come along eventually.\n\nRemember, it's better to not have a boyfriend than to have a boyfriend who is a jerk or a loser.

what an option.\n\nI guess your wealth is independent on whether you are married or not.\n\nIf you stay single, you can date and have "fun" with alot of people. Some might be deep and good relationships, others may be superficial and wacko. You might have a baby or two - who knows, and you'll be dependent on your surroundings; family or friends to babysit if you want to keep up your happy life.\n\nIf you marry, (for love that is) you can work on a relationship. You can deepen your feelings for each other and this will maybe make you more happy on a long term - who knows. If you have babies, it or they will be borned in a family and this makes a more secure structure if one of parents for instance die or ... something.

hobbie first, absolutely. Only when you are able to be alone and comfortable are you ready for a partner. Good Luck! Besides, you may find a hobbie and happen to meet a boyfriend!:)

I felt the same after I left a relationship that wasn't making me happy.  Sometimes you miss being single if you're with someone who isn't right for you.  Glad to hear you didn't stay in the relationship just to be with somebody.  Too many people would rather be unfulfilled in a relationship rather than be happy being single.  And when you're happy being single, you'll attract other happy people.  Then who knows what could happen?  Good going.  You'll do well in life, my friend.

The reason you're single is you choose to be. Physique and looks are great for anybody to have (whether you're male or female) but confidence in what you have to work with is what ultimately tends to be the greatest turn on. Ask yourself this... would I want to date someone like me?

Making peace with myself.  Money is nice, relationship is nice.....but rather have peace with myself above all.  If have inner peace, then happiness usually follows. :-)

I think everyone who is committed feels like they want to be free sometimes.  You have to realize that you are committed and before you go to someone else you have to end what your in the middle of FIRST.  Being in a relationship is worth it but you have to work hard at it.  AND BE FAITHFUL.

Depends on what you do with your time when you're alone.  If you spend it wisely, searching your soul and learning who you really are, you could reduce that time.  You need to understand what you learned from the first relationship before you get into another one, or you may repeat some mistakes that could be fatal to a new relationship.  Hope that helps.

Exude confidence.  I think that is the best way to celebrate being single.  Do things by yourself that may normally be for couples like going out to a nice restaurant, see a movie or show up to outings by yourself and meet everyone there.  It might sound silly, but it takes a strong person to show others you are comfortable being single within a dating scene.  \nBe proud too, that you can find your life fulfilling when your main goal isn't finding a good man, getting married and settling down.  There is NOTHING wrong with having that as your goal, but it still is not for everyone!!  There is a lot to be said about a completely independent woman with a healthy life, active career and great friends...so show it off!

I AM better off being alone. Until things change in my life, that is the way I prefer it to stay. Not cynical, just the plain truth.

being single isn`t all that bad.When in doubt, hold up your right hand and renew your vows; TO MY WIFE FOR LIFE!   My hand never bitches,bleeds,has a headache,gets knocked up, or cheats on me. THIS IS GOOD

You don't have to love anyone, or be in a relationship. There's no point hooking up with someone just because you're single. Be choosy, I am and I'm much happier than the people I know who bounce from guy to guy. Be your own person, you don't need anyone else till you see what you want.

I've been married and single both...and while there are advantages to both, I'd choose married. (but next time to someone I know better!)\n\nIf you're not afraid of really hard work, marriage would be better. It takes work every single day, though.
