After the five and a half year relationship I just got out, it feels great to be able to take a breath and relax. I always felt as though i had a rhinoceros on my back and he was such a drama queen it was stressful. Now i am drama free from having a relationship, but i still have to deal with him because of our daughter.. but its a different deal now. I forgot how great it was to be single.

People really thinks so differently. I must say that you enjoy with someone to hold you and be there for you whenever you need someone and I must agree that it is really good, but as for now, i am enjoying every moment of my single life! thanks!

yes and no. its good some times, the fact the u dont have to worrie about being tied down or having to stress about tring to make it work or please the other person. but on the other had its nice to wake up to some one u love in the moring, to have someone to cuddle with, some one to show love and care about in more then just friends or family members. its something tht veries depending on wht stte of mind i'm in or whts going on in my life at the time. every ones different about how they feel about it, plus no one ever keeps the same mind set. it depends on previous relationships.

I agree. that is why I am enjoying every moment of being single. And when time comes I'll find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, we will have another set of memories that will be well remembered. So for now, I am enjoying my life! thanks!

Well...I hate being a single. Especially being a single parent! I think most of the single parents are thinking as me. otherwise, soloparentdate.com** the single parent dating site won't be so hot!

Sometimes I like to be single because their is no restriction of what you do and I feel so much free from responsibility. But sometimes this loneliness kills me when I think of my past incidents that I don't want to discuss here. There is always some good points to be single and some negative effects. But overall I dont like to be single.

I totally agree that sometimes you are caught between freedom and loneliness. But enjoy things that life offers, while you can!

LOVE IT!! I enjoy my own company and always have. I have always enjoyed "The Sounds of Silence", and solitude. I really have never felt lonely. I have friends and family to spend time with, so it all has evened out. And now I am a single mom, and am enjoying watching my child grow and evolve, as well!

I love being left alone for long periods of time, but I want someone to spend my life with, someone to cuddle up to at night and to have as a free furnace... I'm anti-cold.

Single is good for someone whose self-esteem skill is excellent. This includes finance capacity, self-control and self-decision ability. If someone does not meet all of these requirement,however, he/she should be in a couple. Life isn't always as we expect, a companion in life (wife or husband) would gives us appropriate supports to overcome tough periods of time rather than any friends, including good friends. In general, as I believed, everything is not perfect therefore we have to consider between single or married situation, for life isn't as short as we imagine.

Single life is always good. So many people want to get into an exclusive relationship to be loved and cared for...I used to think the same way. I prefer dating and keeping things open, which has been a blessed expansion for my social life and my circle of people. I agree single life is good, loneliness is not.

Well it's definitely enervating to be alone but being single doesn't basically mean being alone since you still have the sanguine drive amidst a lot of friends. There's so much more that singleness has to give than just fretting around the corner...

it's not that i like being single but i'm happy and contented for what i have now. im not the kind of person who rushes into things when there's no really need to. things like that cannot be done in relationships it's not something that you eat and spit out if you don't like the taste. you can hurt people if you force yourself to either be in a relationship. though i do not recommend people should be lonely cause if you are lonely and it's not because you're not ready, then maybe there's something wrong with you. so that's the time to check what it is. as for me, i don't think theres nothing wrong with me, and i'm single not because i want to or i like it and it's not that i don't want to or dislike it either. im just single because i havent found the right person to be with. one that's worth having a relationship. Im not looking for something that lasts you can't really expect that cause you have to work on that when you're already in the relationship. but im looking for somebody who i can be myself with and for now, i haven't really found that out yet. for now, i have lots of friends and i believe that friendship is a good foundation for a good relationship. and im happy with that.

I have thought the same way with you but I am changing my idea now through 3 years lonely, boring having no girlfriend. Youth is the age of love. If you don't do so, you will regret when you are old, when you can't do something like a young guy should. So, do not lose your age, do things suitable for you in your specific situation and specific age. That's my summarize.

I like it but i get depressed and start to think about my ex sometimes

Yes i would always love to remain single.. Because i think... Spending your time with a your friends is much better... and if you are going with your girl friend ...then i will never suggest you to marry her.. because once you will marry. you will lose your passion of love.. :)
