do u be single coz of the stress from life or work?

First of all...thanks for the response and your comments. I appreciate it! Let me see if I can clarify and answer your questions. You are right...LIFE IS NOT PERFECT...however, I do not believe I would want or need to "settle" for someone who does not love me for who I am or does not encourage me or challenges me to be a better person, etc.. I think and feel that I would be better off single (and happy) than be "married" or in a relationship that was not fulfilling. Sure...I am more than willing to date and I am definitely still looking (I don't DESIRE to remain alone)...however, I am not going to "waste" what little time I have on this Earth being in a relationship that does not grow and is not a positive thing. I don't know...maybe that doesn't make sense to others... I see so many people in relationships that are not satisfying and so unhappy (even to the point that they do not even respect their mate). I have friends that are married because they did not want to be alone (and now they wonder why it is so unsatisfying - and doesn't really work). We all have seen families (with children) and couples end their relationships on a sour note and are almost like "enemies" - causing so much pain to each other and those around them. I just don't want that (I am not saying that anyone ever does). I just can't imagine myself settling. All relationships take work (from all parties) however, I truly believe a relationship started with known expectations and communication will have a higher success rate. I feel like I know what I want and will know when I find it. The "right" person is out there - somewhere - and maybe someday I will find him! :-) Did I answer your questions? I am not even sure now...I think I hit on them. Honestly my thoughts and emotions are so hard to put into words sometimes. If I did not answer your questions adequately - please let me know! I would be more than happy to try again. I hope you have a GREAT day! :-) THANKS AGAIN!

glad to hear from u again^^ yeah,u are right.without completly certainty about the relationship,after we made promise or settled down,hurt will be unaviodable one day. however,have u thought about that,love not only contents happy moments,for the most part,it also includes the pray for each other quietly,the understanding after mislead eacher other or even the time when u are angry with someone,miss someone^^ so i think maybe we can accept someone to cultivate relationship.it takes time of course.but if we don't have a try,the chance of find ur true love is more slim. on the other hand,i deem that after dating for a while,there's still no romantic feelings come out,we should take the guts to stop the realtionship. to be frank,i'm confused with this as well.but luckly,there's no such troublesome person ask for trouble for me everyday^^ as u say let it happen naturally. wish u will find ur idea Mr Right one day(it is supposed to be soon) haha nice day!

thanks for ur comments.u put ur true feelings on this question.i can see that.for single people,most of us expect to find someone who is perfect for us.as u said,a person who love us coz who we are and who can understand & respect us^^ however,life is not so perfect.will u choose being in single situation untill u really find someone u are looking for? or after we have reached the idea age,will u still stick to be single.won't ur date someone to find a new way to the rest of ur life?

thanks for ur advice!after think it over,i think i would liket to avoid involving in it,coz i think since the chance of sucess is slim,i prefer to employ the precious time on my study to improve my ability and rich my life.and when i feel lonely,i will find something i like to do,for example,chat with my friends^^ so choice is in our hands^^

thanks^^ and wish everything goes on well with u^^

...well thats good... at least you know what's your top priority,.. just grab every opportunity that passes your way.. there might be no second chances... God bless on your studies... be cool..

but for the love stuff,there's no way to say maybe we need some practice.i mean we should take serious attitude towards romantic relationship if we are certain about our feelings.but for me,i haven't had such required basis.i haven't been well prepared for the responsibility it will bring to me...that's the reason why i'm single.

i had the same thoughts as u on this subject before.but i do believe i will be in relation some day^^

nice to hear from u.i hope i can find the my Mr Right in my later life as well^^ but as u said,let things happen in the nature way.if that suitable person show up in my life,why not take the chance^^thanks

thanks for ur suggestions.yeah,i'm so young.there're many chances ahead waiting for me.right now,i should clam down to concentrate on my study,to set up the foundation for the future life(master my professional knowledge and skills so that i can raise myself and relieve my parents' burden) the very time haven't come yet.u are right^^ THANKS!
