Being Single: How's life being single?

I'm not single anymore, having found myself in a brand new long term relationship that started a few days ago. (hey every long term, forever and always sort of thing starts someday right? I just recognize it for what it is, after a few days. :) I was single until then, and I both loved and hated it. Being single means you're free to do what you want, but being in a committed relationship means you have someone to do stuff WITH. I'm sorry you meet so many players, if people stopped 'playing' they would find far more meaning in their relationships.

I also got out of long term relationship not that long ago. We were together for 6 years and separated a few months ago. I think it IS harder to find someone nowadays. Most guys my age are still pretty immature and not ready to be faithful to one girl. I haven't been single for a long time so i'm enjoying the single life for now but i'm hoping to eventually find a good guy that I could settle down with.

No, I rather enjoy being single. I am not looking, right now my only concern it me. I am repositioning myself and when the time comes when I feel I need a relationship in my life I will make a list of what I want in a partner and see what I find but I won't settle for less than what I want. For right now I am enjoying being with me.

For female, probably it's hard being single as there will be suitors around if you are attractive. I've been single for quite some time and looking back, I preferred being single. There are times I missed those days with my ex-girlfriend. But being single, I can have all my time for myself.

Dear Friend, Been a single is the most independent time in our life. we have no bonds, we have no problems to think about. we are free and life seems so easy .... Thanks

It is really hard to be a single in the world. You need both love and support from one you can be with you at each and every stage of life. but it is true that it is difficult to find get the faith from them. I also have a girl friend, we love too much to each other, but after that also I am single, because she moves away to some one else. what can i do, i have nothing to do? your life is again at the same stage when it start enjoying everything. we have a need of someone for physical and mental relax, but what is the way for single?

I am so glad i am not single nowadays- it is way to hard- I met my husband when i was 5 we started dating at 18 and 17 years later got married, that was 8 years ago, so we have been together total of 25 years. If I were single though I think I would try eharmony.com, I know i would never find what I'm looking for at a bar or club. Best wishes to those who are single in this day and age- I hope you find tht special someone to share your hopes and dreams with, but always remember happily ever after does not come easy...any commitment is a lot of work, trust and compromise... if you can handle that then you should find your happily ever after.

Well I'm not single but I have had some really great times being single in the past. lol. There are so many things you can do when you're single that you cannot do when you're in a relationship. And yes, it's really hard to find someone decent out there in the single world. So my advice to you is: Enjoy being single as much as you can, becuase you won't be forever.

Yea, it is so hard to find one that i really fall for. When i finally found her, things just don't turn well. Because i am just suck at BGR. hai...I am a little sick of being single..haha..but what more can i do. Just let the nature take place.

Hi there, hope you dont mind me repling to you descussion im not single,but when i was single i did find it hard to find that special person sure i had offers but it like you said they had players written all over there foreheads,im sure you will find mr right soon.

been alone some times is good bt mostly it SUCKS !!

life being single is enjoyable in many ways... hehehe... im not single though but soon i will as the flow is always like that for me... the longest time i have in a relationship is only 3 month... hahahaha.... well that was'nt good to hear to everyone here and you might say that im not good in a relationship.. but hey!!! i believe im the good one, its just that i did'nt find someone whose good enough for me... u will have to consider first your compatibility with each other i guess that's a must in a relationship... the more compatible you are with your partner you'll have more chances to become happy with him/her in your relationship... understanding and being caring is an important thing in a relationship... but sometimes you find your self like your loosing your way because of having your partner... well in a relationship, its a give and take anyway and that is always true... hahaha just for me.. its what i've experienced and learned...

well, im single for quite long time.... and im happy about it coz i can do everthing i wanted to to do... im not waiting nor looking coz i know it'll come..heheh and beside im still 17.

Hi, actually i'm not single now. I think single sometimes is good. huh. when i was single ago, i always stayed with my friends. because staying at home lonely is bad for one. you shouldn't be isolated from others. then we maybe find our Miss./Mr. Right around us. huh.

Now I'm single after two years of relationship. But I would like to have a new girlfriend: I don't dislike the life of a single, but I would like to know a girl. P.S.: You're very beautiful!

Hello,lusciousrican20 ,I am als single now,in fact,I have been single for long time since i broke up with my ex boyfriend,may be i am still insecure to have relationship with guys as i was cheated by my exboyfriend:(. I am quite happy to be single now as i do not have anyone to respond to,i have total freedom and i can do whatever i want without other's control. I am waiting for my MR right though,but he has not appeared yet,or may be never appeared in my life,who knows.I think it is harder to find a guy really loves me nowadays,it seems that guys only want my body and not really love my personality and inner beauty.:(

To tell you honestly, it is really hard for me though i have seen the guy whom should i say someone i will love and trust and same goes with him but sad to say it is not the right time because that time he was able to go to other country study and live with there for good. It really breaks my heart to know that news but what can i do its for his own good so what i did was just support him and be happy for him. But ever since he left i haven't seen anyone that would be like him someone caring, thoughtful, gentleman, sweet and respectful not only to me but also to my family. I don't know if i am being that desperate but now that i am 25 and still haven't found the right one i am afraid of what will happen in the future, i am afraid of being alone and be left that no one would love and would take care of you someday... What do you think???

I am two years single now after a 3 long-term relationship. I guess my ex found quickly too but not me. It also depends on how women choose. There are certain characteristics I am looking from a man like: responsible, hard working, God-fearing person.

Having recently found my future wife after being single for nearly two years i agree that its becoming increasivly difficult to find 'the one' If you are actively looking the way i did it was to go on a dating website, i know it sounds sad and corny but you can generally weed out all the psychos and bunny boilers without having to meet them and deal with them in person. Then after a while of getting to know someone and you decide to meet its not like having a first date because you know quite a bit about them already. I guess its not for everyone but it worked for me and im now very happy :)

There are a few things you can do to boost your single self esteem: 1. Find a box and fill it up with magazines, movies, beauty products, etc. Take it out and use it when you feel lonely. 2. Go on a solo holiday. 3. Make some guy friends and get a dose of male company without the complications of being in a relationship. 4. Take on some big challenges to make you feel complete and proud. 5. Start a blog.
