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

Yes, I do.  I work, but its difficult for me.  All of my time after that is alone.  I dont go out to social gatherings at all.  Last time I did I went to a movie by myself, but dont think I'd do that again.  People seem to like me, dont really no why or care.  Most of time I am disgusted with people, just there presence alone.  It is my destiny to be alone, there is no way I could ever go on a date.  No way.  As soon as I was with the person, I would want to go home.\n\nI did live with someone who was a recluse for 3 years, and he was pretty good for me. He never went out, had no friends, stayed home on the computer or listened to music.  Only problem, he wouldnt work, at first I didnt mind but it really got annoying laying out cash for every thing.  Needless to say we are not together, but both still totally alone.

How do you feel? I have had a bf for 6 years and loved the relationship but I'm glad I get to experience new things now...no not sleeping with 10 at the same time one after another hahaha kidding!!! i like being single after this long cuz i met him when i was 16 and never got to experience anything else. but like other people say that one experience is enough sometimes..you have to know yourself what you want.

Single life is awesome, but after a while you just want to find someone...I go on dates atleast once a week!

Actually, I have watched 4 of my friends do it.  It is a mix of things.  It's the fear of being alone, it's the proverbial ticking clock, it's desperation (if doesn't marry me, maybe no one ever will), it's status (I'm marryable.)  There's more to it than that, but basically it's insecurity and the clock.  Recipe for a bomb if you ask me.  I'll stay single, thank you.  I'm very picky.

Good on ya mate!  I love to hear that there are some long term relationships out there.  I've got 26 years in mine and there have been some tough times....and it looks like more on the horizon.  But I am optimistic.  We've made it this far.......I'm sure we can handle this storm like we have all the others.

i can totally relate. i am the only single girl in a group of 10 girlfriends-they're all in long-term relationships and getting married. i haven't had a boyfriend in 2 years, and in the past i've had my share of no-so-great men. but i'm happier alone than unhappy. we just have to realize that we are still young-we still have lots ahead of us and we will find that 4% of good men in this world to be good company with:)\n\nps i look at half of the relationships my girlfriends have and i'd rather cut off my foot than be in some of their positions, anyway. some are stuck with emotionally abusive/selfish men, selfish lovers, drinkers, or just herpes and scared to move onto another relationship because of fear of rejection (woo hoo! yeah, i'm sure your man isn't cheating, the disease just showed up!)... you name it.\n\ni'm sorry about your divorce and about how one man found it appropriate to break it off with you in a pretty cowardly way. i think time for you will wear things off a bit.. hang in there! you know you will end up with someone who is GOOD for you\n\ngod bless

I met a lady on line and finally met her. She was about 10 years older than me and we both knew we didn't want to get serious, just have fun. We had a great secret and private relationship for about 4 years before she started to have physical problems.\n\nThose are 4 years, though that I will never forget. Unlike women my age, this lady really appreciated me and made me feel good. I went out of my way to appreciate her too. Sometimes I wish I could find somebody to take her place, but at least I can dream about her.\n\nTX Guy

That's been an ongoing problem that I've struggled with, but in the last month, I've realized that I like guys that are already in relationships because I subconsciously know that I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I know that's not always the case, but you might want to think about that :)

Dont rush in the world of dating and relationships.\n\nDont let yourself feel lonely, enjoy life. Being single has its benefits, etc.\n\nI myself is currently single and I dont let issues get to me like many single people. Enjoy it and wait for opportunities to come... and then you will meet Mr Right.   One day, Ms Right will cross my path.\n\nKeep your chin up and take care!!

Not now, but have had. It seems to only lead to the end of a friendship or things get really weird.

i miss being in a committed relationsip. being single sucks but need to find the right person to be with.  I was married for 20 years. was an abusive marrage.  stayed for so long because i didnt want to be single.  but this is better than being abused

i thought my world ended when i broke with my boyfriend. but  i stood up, got a haircut, bought nice clothes, went into graduate school, met other people. its been six years after the breakup and here i am, living witness that there is still life after  a failed relationship.  it only takes a good outlook in life friend.

Finding a soul mate. I've been without a boyfriend for almost ten years because I never find someone I really connect with. So I just stick to casual dating. But I have made some good money in those years. So I'd say it's harder to find a soul mate.
