I am in my late 20's and I am still single. Most of my friends think that I am a robot for not having commitment with someone. But I don't really care at all. It is my choice and I'm happy with it. I may not have experience the ecstasy felt by some lovers out there but I never ever have encountered the pains that love could bring. My door is not close yet it is not widely open. I only open it to a few people. I am not the picky type but I just don't wanna make some silly decisions in life.

being single when you are young is wonderful it is sometimes a very lonely life when you are older, everyone around you seems to have their own life to live, a lot of your family is gone, your mum and dad, gone, older singles can lead a very lobely life...

I do understand what your point is. Yes, it is true that being single could lead to a very lonely life in the old age. I know that it is not easy to live alone. We are social beings, thus we need someone to share our lives with. But for me, it would be better to be single without any partner at all than be in a very messy relationship. I don't hate the world, but that's the reality in life. So if I were to choose, I'd still choose to be single than be involved in a very complicated love life. I know that there are still a lot of successful love stories. But I already had a very traumatic experience which is the reason behind it all.

That's good to hear. I am happily single too. I am now in my mid 20's and I'm enjoying it a lot being single. I have been stuck with a "good-for-nothing" partner before. And the moment he let me go was a very lucky day for me. It was then when I started living my life. It was really so traumatic that made me say that I'd prefer to be single than to be hook up again in that kind of affair. At first, I was really so afraid of being alone but later I realized that it's only a matter of decisions. If I do choose to be happy then I could like the way I am right now:) I'm very happy being single.

maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before metting the right one,so just try.Sometimes the silly decisions is exact needed in life.YOu never ever have encountered the pains that love may bring,you never ever understand the happiness that love could give.

hello sjan! welcome to "Happy singles Club". Me, too, is happily living as single until now. Don't be bothered by what others are saying like "oh, you'll be sorry when you're old you have nobody with you" and those notions that being single means being lonely and sad. Bear in mind that our happiness must come from within ourselves and being happy is not SOLELY dependent on being married and having a family of your own.
