well i cant speak for the whole world but i have been single for 2 years and i'm very happy, I have love from friends and family and feel love for them. Just because i dont have romantic love in my life, does not mean i am lonley. I would only feel lonley if I had a significant other already in my life, who was away from me. What I mean is I would have to meet Mr Right, get too know Mr Right and spend a portion of my life with Mr Right before i would feel lonley and unhappy without him. I realy hope that makes sense lol

Being single can be happy, no commitment. But when we are getting older, friends and family are no more be with us, then you will really feel the loneliness. This is serious issue, coz we can't turn back time. The true happiness come where we can share everything together from good to bad, where and when we need it. I maybe wrong, I hate loneliness. I still think, to make my life complete I need someone to love me and care for me. And I trying hard online everyday to find this lady.

You're absolutely right, dreamerlife. While most singles would say that they can be happy, there is always a little sadness or uncertainty in their voice. After all, whom would he/she share his/her happiness and sadness with? He/she may have parents, siblings, nephews and nieces but their priorities would be their own families!

Yes, there are some people who don't like to be having any relationship or maybe they are not social enough. They just like to be alone all the time, and they like it that way. I know it sounds weird, but there are. This world is a weird place, so you better know it's corners :) For me, I don't think so, I can be happy without people caring about me. Everyone loves to be cared by others.

Of course someone that is single can be happy, it's a casr of being comfortable in your own skin. When that happens, you'll find people round you being comfortable. It doesn't matter how much money one has in the world, if he doesn't love himself, people will find it hard to love him!

I agree that someone single can still be happy, but they won't be as happy as those who married and had children.

I once asked my guy friend about this. He answered by saying that yes, he'd be happy being single, as long as he still had his friends. He has this weird theory that he should wait for "the one" rather than settle for second best. So if it doesn't happen in this lifetime, then maybe in the next. His point is that he's willing to wait. What he said has always stuck with me. Cos what if this is the only life you got, shouldn't you make the best of it? I myself wouldn't be happy being single. But being single is a choice. Maybe that's what makes them happy.

single its difficult at times and blessings at oth - Its hard being single and its hard being a single parent.
Its hard to be happy when your single but yes its possible. I am single, been single since march, but divorced since last month. I have my little boy so he helps me at times to bring me joy in my life. but other times, I get lonely and think I miss having a man in our life. but then I think I am free right now I should be enjoying it, because one day I'll probably find someone for me and my son. I miss us being a complete family. its good for my son who's 3 yr until May and its good for me.

Well just because you are single doesn't mean you are alone or have no one to love. I'm single and I'm really happy. I stay this way by surronding myself with people through parties classes and just hanging out.

yes i think somebody can be single and happy. Singleton has the advantage of being free.you are not accountable for your actions. also you can enjoy your freedom. One has to learn to be comfortable in this case.

i think some people can be happy when they are single because such people do not feel lonely and do not need a spouse to share sorrow or joy with them. they will feel deprived of freedom in marriage.

Anything is possible. Happiness is a state of mind...if you want to be happy being single then you will be...for some people they are better off being single rather than be with someone...It's reallly hard to find someone to love you the way you want to be love and if you can not find what you want and settle for someone who you don't love you be hurting yourself and the other party so therefore won't be happy being with someone...

At a younger age like teenagers and eatly 20's or maybe even 30's I think bein single is okay. You can still be happy of course.. Although, when you get older I think you'd be happier with someone else. Someone to grow old with you. Someone to love. Someone to share memories with. Someone to help you. Someone who will make you happy.
