Can you live in single for life?

The more you search for a partner, the farther love comes. I have learned from an article that most single people think that the only way for them to ever be really happy is to have a partner. That without a partner, life is lonely. Actually, I did feel that way too, until I read that article. It also stated there that finding someone to complete you isn't a very good reason to have a partner or to marry because it's an excuse to saying you would be totally miserable if you can't find your match, you desperately need to find someone else you'll be branded as an outcast to society. You should never depend your happiness on someone because you can't control a person from deciding to leave or to hurt you. I'm agreeing to what the author said that 'you should be happy as a single person, having a partner should only be a bonus'. If you asked me that question a few months ago, I'd probably say 'I couldn't live life as a single', but now I'm definitely ready to see life and love with a whole new meaning. I could live life as a single person. At least it isn't pressuring me to expect something from the people I meet or have relationships with, at the same time I won't need to force someone to be with me if they don't really want to.

My advice for you friend is to stop worrying about being single or being lonely, start doing something so you'll be less lonely. If that means you make friends, do it. If that means you need a romantic relationship work on yourself to become someone worth having. Now I don't mean be fake, but becoming an interesting person through learning and the cultivating of hobbies isn't changing, it's growing. Let yourself grow, find something that you love doing (an interest, hobby, charity, anything) and do that! One of the most attractive things is someone who has a passion. So stop worrying and start doing, your future is what you make it. As for me, I'd be perfectly happy to be single for the rest of my days. I have my friends, I have my parents, I have my furry children, I have my art, and my dreams, there honestly isn't room for anyone else... and that's just fine by me. But you know, I don't feel lonely, just in general. I'm happy, and I have peace. Nearly all of my friends though they feel lonely, even surrounded by friends they're lonely... I simply don't understand it. But they haven't tried to become whole within themselves, to see themselves clearly and find balance. They feel off, like something is missing, this they fill with someone else. But this is just me. Good luck to everyone seeking a romantic relationship, I hope it finds you.

Im married once and it doesnt work for us. i been tru a lot of bad times with relationship but i never give up. I know someday i will find my mr right who will love me as much as i love him. About single life, me and my friedn have story about that. We went out of town, me and my 2 girlfriends and a guy (my friend ex boyfriend). We started our group, single for life but now one by one are getting married. I think its your choice if you want to be single forever or you want to live with someone.

As much as possible I want to have a family in the future but if i will get married just for the sake of having a husband so I won't be lonely then I will prefer to be just single because for me being forever with someone you don't love or even like is like a misery. However I wish that I will find that someone so I won't be lonely and alone in the FUTURE because now, even single I'm still happy.

As a saying says "no man is an island", I consider not to live single forever. That takes a lot of reasons to say but the most important is what's with the companionship shared to the person you most love? We do see people who are single through out their life but in a manner of good reasons they bare. That is why doing my best I could before being into a different status in life makes everything for me.

I could not be single for the rest of my life. I think the only way you will find someone is if you open your mind to it. You might find a soulmate, and you might be alot happier, feel more fulfilled. I would make friends and see if I find someone that I could possibly date.

most definitely. i think a lot of people look at the single person with pitty but i think they can be way more freer than someone who is married or dating. if i was single and had lots of money, i would definitely travel and take a whole lot of classes!

Currently, I'm single. My ex got in a relationship 1 month after we broke up. After our breakup I didn't want a relationship. I may like a guy, but I wouldn't pursue it. I personally like the chase! I currently live with a roommate, so I am not lonely in terms of solitary. I like not having a boyfriend because I feel a lot more flexible with my time. I fill my time with work and spending time with my friends. Just do the same and I promise you won't feel as lonely!

i feel lonely sometimes because i am single.but i don't think that i will keep sigle all my life.life is so nice ,i should find my right one to share nice life together.

Just like you, I have also never had a boyfriend yet. To me , love is holy and I will only marry or date someone if we are both truly attractted to each other. Some girls around me just date with some guys who they don't even like, to get rid of loneliness, I guess. But I don't think so, how can the person whom I can't feel a thing about make me feel unlonely? Maybe I will be single if I can't meet my true love in my whole life. However, I am still waiting with anticipation.

i dont want to be single in my life,i need someone to enjoy my life,like my sad,my trouble,my happy and so on.especially when i am ill,i will eager someone to accompay me and tale good care of me,if not,i will feel so pity of me.because when somebody get sick,he will be more weak and feeble.hehe,it's just my idea,i cant tolerance the loneliness.

I got divorced about 3 years ago and I hated being single. I went through about 6 boyfriends... One actually lasted a year and then when we just kinda called it quits I decided to try being single and see if I could get over my hate of it. I honestly believe now that if you can't be single you can never be happy in a relationship because you become very dependent on that other person to make you happy. It makes it hard to stick up for yourself because if things start going wrong you can't make the other person angry because you NEED them to be happy. I got a dog about 8 months ago. It was the best thing I ever did. I love my life now. I don't ever feel lonely. I do things with my dog. I meet new people with my dog and I can actually see my self getting old by my self. Would I like someone else in my life? Sure I would but I would never rely on them to make me happy anymore.

i am single too. I meet up with girls somtime to go out but when it starts getting emotional i turn around and run. i dont know what it is about me but i suspect that i will be single (for the most part) for life. i act diffrent when feelings start to arise and dont like feeling diffrent..i want to feel the same, and i do when im single. thanks for the discussion. lol

i have never been boyfriend in real life as well..there is advantage for being single too..because if you are single you can do what ever you want without thinking about the another person feeling or thought..you can have more time spend with your friends and family..however..sometimes you will feel loneliness because the people around you are beginning to stick together with their own partners.

No!! I'd never want it to be single, become single once is fun but more and more time passed away, loneliness will come. i ever been single for 2 years, very lonely and depressed. I don't know about you, maybe I am a weak person doesn't have any courage to face the world by myself. Anyway happy myloting my friend

I tried being single for almost 5 years but I got lonely and also my mom never got remarried and she has being single for 11 years and I really don't want to be like her. She is always nagging about something or she crys because she thinks nobody understands her I personally think she is crazy. It's nice to be alone for some time but not forever and now that I'm married I miss my single life but that's the way it is "we want what we don't have and when we have it we don't wanted".

Personally, I could not live my life single forever. I have been happily single before, but it does get lonely. I am not single now and I love the fact that I'm not. People are single for a lot of reasons. Sometimes, you have to let people in your life and let your guard down just a little. The best thing is to go with the flow of things. Not everyone you meet or date is relationship material, but one day you will find someone who completes you. If you are one who is happier without a mate, then being single is for you.
