It's important to be happy with yourself. You can't define yourself by a man, or your relationship status. Most people like companionship, and so while you might be "happier" with a boyfriend, you need to be comfortable enough and confident enough with yourself to also be alone. It is important because you will be a more complete person when you know yourself better and accept who you are, which will make any future relationships better for you.

Live life while you are single with the motto "if it feels good , do it"

Hey,\n\nits not the end of the world. you have to take it as a learning point and move on. its going to hurt, i can honestly say it will definitely hurt a lot, but you have to look at the bigger picture, its not the end of the world and now that you're single there's more that you will be able to achieve\n\nyou can fulfill your dreams and live life single for awhile, party like a rockstar, and eventually you will end up meeting the right person one day, it could even be the person that broke up with you but at this moment in time maybe you two are not meant to be together but might be together in the future\n\ni'm going thru a similar situation but i realize that i need to move on and do something with my life its not worth to cry everyday, and the quicker you realize that, probably the faster you'll meet someone else.\n\ni hope this helps

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.

You let people know that you're single just by simply saying you're single, just like you've done now with your question above. There's nothing wrong with being single, but it does get rather lonesome after awhile and suddenly you start yearning for a partner.

I am a single mom and have bascially been single, minus a few not-so-serious relationships, now for seven years. I've gone through periods when I've seriously been looking for someone to settle down with and  times when I've been desperately lonely but hadn't the energy to try again. \n\nThe one thing I HAVE learned over the past few years of dating and not dating, is not to ever settle for less than what you deserve. It may mean that you may go through years of being alone but I truly believe it is much better to be alone than with someone who is not right for you. \n\nDepending on your situation, I think the possiblities of where and how to meet a potential boyfriend are endless. Start spending time on yourself. Go places that interest you.....put yourself out there.......everywhere, with and without your child(ren). Chances are that if you meet this person at a museum or maybe a through other family members, other than the bar scene, you'll have more in common. \n\nDon't  dwell on the fact that you're single; sometimes it shows and you may look a little desperate and then definately will attract the wrong type of guy who could possibly be an oportunist looking for his next prey. When you start doing more just for you and your family you WILL start to feel better about yourself and your situation. It is this positivity that most definately attract the right type of people and soon enough you will realize that being alone isn't a curse and THAT"S when Mr Right is bound to step in and like you for who you are.

i got out of a long relationship too. I think that if it was a year ago, you may be holding on. even if you're not holding on, I think that you should come to love you as a you and not as a you and him. It's a wonderful thing, being in a relationship and having soneone care about you. but all the same, it's wonderful to be single and to grow as an individual. I wish you the best of luck with what ever happens, but just as an ending thought... the greatest thing in the world is to know haw to belong to oneself. (montaigne)

It's good to take time out from relationships to heal your wounds, learn to love yourself, get to know yourself, etc... , the many advantages to being single prepares you to be able to handle a prospective relationship.

Not at  all. But if, you begin to ponder this while dating some one perhaps, you should stay single. Monagamous relationships are not for everyone and just for those who are mature to hande it.

I have to agree with Y Stroke 28. I think its a blast to be single, going out with girlfriends, partying, and just having a really good time. However, I think it does get a little old, and eventually you want that person to come home to, or like y stroke 28 said, just having that companionship of knowing someone really cares about you. I on one hand would like to get married, and eventually have children someday, so I really do not want to stay single for too long. I love to be single, but it does get old to me. But I don't think being single is a bad thing...I just like to know that I have someone to care about and share things with...and cuddling!\nGood Question!

Hmm it's hard to answer why a single person is single. I'm single too and I'm just as frustrated that I can't find someone and be happy like the rest of my friends. I think what it comes down to though, is you need to be happy with yourself first. When you're not, people will see that and it becomes a turn off or people become afraid of dealing it. Just from reading your question, you sound angry at the world. But really, you're the one that has to make it happen. Work on yourself first and I'm sure that person will find you, notice you. Good luck.

Depends on what the man wants to get out of life. Could be that he hasn't found the one he wants to settle down with and in that case, being single for the right reasons would be better than being married for the wrong ones.

Not at all.\n\nIn fact, keeping an active sex life while you are single is very important for men.  Studies have shown that men in their 40s' that are divorced, often have erctile disfunction after being dormant for extended periods.\n\nKeep the blood flowing.  You're not obcessing over something/someone.

If you have to ask, you know the answer.\nGive yourself a bit of time, there's nothing wrong with being single and there is a lot wrong with going from one man to another willy nilly just to avoid being alone.\nEspecially since your commitment level is already not the deepest.... I mean, really, how much are you really willing to invest if you give up on a guy you were prepared to marry as soon as trouble hits?\nBe solo a while, hang out with friends, date casually, when you're ready for a real relationship, you'll know.

Why do you have to choose?  Your a single guy who is looking for fun.  Be honest with what you want and if they can't respect that you don't want to be settled down, then why even bother with any of them.  If you are more happy being free then what do you have to loose?

hey....even i get the same feeling when i c couples......but then its better to wait 4 the rit 1 rather just move in with the crowd......n \nfrom ur post, it doesnt seem like u wud jus do smthin coz evrybdy is dng it.......... \n\nBeing single has its advantages...I am not sure I have a satisfactory answer, anyway.\n\nI guess the main reason is that you have very eclectic tastes and you are extremely picky. You like what you like. What you don't, you don't. \n\n\nSOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS MADE 4 U...\nIt's only a question of time...
