is it okay to be single?

Don't be with someone because your friends are married, or your relatives are married or the what not.  Be with someone because you LOVE them and want to be with them.  If you don't feel that way about a person, you're better off not being with them so that they don't get hurt in the long term.  \n\nAs a chronically single person, I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with not being with someone.  I've had probably what seems, at least to me, the worst luck in the universe, and if it isn't, then I'd hate to meet the person who has had worse.  I am very unsure that I will find my soulmate some days.  \n\nI'd like to tell you that you're just looking in the wrong place or that some day you'll just get completely and totally swept off your feed.  I wish that for you, as I wish that for me, but nothing is certain in this world.  \n\nIt is your life.  You should do what you think makes you happy.  If you want to take a break from dating, do it.  There's nothing wrong with showing up alone to places or just being happy with your life as it is.  There's no shame in realizing that a relationship with a guy ain't gonna make you happy in the long term.  \n\nBecause, if you do find your true love, he will give you that spark.  \n\nBest of luck and best of wishes.

making friends is fine.\nbut falling for everyone is not right.\nhaving patience is better till finding THE ONE.

definitely family life.\nliving single might give u the freedom to do anything anytime.\nthere are no taunts,nagging etc.\nbut living with a family,moulds u to be a better person.u learn to tolerate,forgive and love.\nmost importantly u have someone to lean on at the end of the day.because ultimately man is a social being.

24 is still young!  Don't rush things:)  I am also 24, and unmarried.  I don't want to get married for a while still.  I want to do so many things before I settle down.  If you marry, it should be for true love.  Don't settle just so you won't be single anymore.  Enjoy your single time!  Love will come your way, most of the time when you least expect it!

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.

You should stay single for at least a month to recover. I don't think bumping to another relationship is the best way to recover. You need to find yourself first or else you might fall into another bad relationship.

While its nice to have someone else, its not the most important thing in the world. I know that girls are raised to expect to have some guy marry them and take care of all of their problems. The truth is that you are the only one who can make you happy. That being said, you may have to kiss some frogs before you find a prince. There are telephone chat lines that lonely singles can go to in order to meet other people. There are some decent people, like you, who just want to meet someone to love them on the phone chat line. There are some folks just looking for fun on it too. You should get on it and start figuring out who is who. Its generally free for women. Some newspapers have singles classified ads. You could try those too, but the same rules that apply to the phone chat applies to those as well.

no marriage is not for everyone. even being single can hbe a wonderful, fulfilling life. you have friends and family. you have your church family and  your sports. dating is still in your life. you have everything a married couple has. only your date can go home. you have your pet or pets\nand you have only you to argue with your self. how great it that.

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!:)

Of course not.  It is your life and there are times when it is easier and best if you are single and able to focus on other things than relationships.

It really depends on the person. If you manage to find someone with whom you can spend the rest of your life, that's great. If you need more than one partner to be happy, that's just fine too.

No, it isn't weird at all to be single at age 16. It just means that you are taking things slowly and that you will probably have a better boyfriend later on.

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.

That is definitey wrong.  If you want an exclusive boyfriend then you have to be mature enough to make a decision that you are ready to be with "one person".  Sounds to me like you're still unsure of yourself and maybe afraid of being alone, but if you keep playing around with 3 guys, behind their backs, it's gonna hurt a lot worse than not having a boyfriend at all.  Maybe you should reconsider whether or not you are ready to commit to one person?
