The advantages and disadvantages of being a single

Hi, ya i'm very agree with you that indeed there're both good and bad being single. Currently i'm single and i think i do like this too, although i also wish to be in a relationship, how contrast this is, haha. Being single is good that i can just do whatever i like, go anywhere i want, and do not have the responsibility or burden of taking care family or the other half. Those are the free-time a single person can enjoy. However, at the same time, because of single, i do not have someone to share all my happiness or sadness, and do not have the person to love and to accompany me when i need someone beside, although there're good friends i can find as companion, but that's just...different of feelings. Haha..anyway, it's most important that we enjoy living, enjoy life.

well, the advantage of being single is that, no one will say what you should do, you just decide by yourself. and you don't need to worry about someone or get jealous of.. but the advantages of being single is that no one will be their beside if you have problems or experiences you had..

I love being single as I don't have to answer to anyone or be responsible for their happiness or lack of it. I have all the space that I need and I don't get bore ever. I do date and when I do...it's one person exclusively. I just don't get all tangled up in finances and sharing rent and all. If a guy wants more than that and often they do...well...i'm not the one for them. I love my singlehood and independence and have no desire to compromise on it. There is no hidden underlying sadness or fear of relationship closeness here. I've just gotten used to my freedom and have no desire to tie myself down in that sort of commitment.

Hello, Good topic. I would like to say that there are many advantages of being a single as you have your own privacy and you can do anything without anyone's restrictions. It's not that everyone has restrictions after being with someone; however the freedom is somehow lost...it's better to be single...cheers...

There are advantages to being single. I have been divorced for 15 years and I am now 37yrs old. I love being single. It's tough because I don't have the support of a partner and financially I'm limited. But I get to come and go pretty much as I please. I clean when I feel like it and I never have to answer to anyone. Being single or married is just one of those things where people are all going to handle it differently. Some people were meant to have someone in there life because they can't function alone and others were not. And yes it's nice to be able to go out and have dinners with someone, but you know what, I'm perfectly happy going out to dinner alone. Sometimes I wish I did have someone to pay for it though, lol. But really everyone is different and married life isn't for everyone and then neither is single life.

Being a single is good...you can move whenever you want,no body will going to stare at thing you do.I really enjoy my single life,can wakup late during wikend and can stay home late too to have fun with friends on wikend. I miss my single life alot...

Yeah your quite right! I'm not single but i agree with the thought, "it's nice being single". =)

it is hard to be single. i don't see advantages but we have to be content and make of every situation. but it is not really being single that is the worse thing that can happen to any person. i think it all boils down to the attitude of a person. if a person knows how to live life in the best that he could then it is great.

the advantage of being single for me I think it gives me more time to know myself and to focus on self-improvement...in all aspects of life esp. spiritually growing closer to God alone, knowing more of my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, being single gives me the opportunity to be more prepared in meeting the right one.(^_^)

the advantages of being single are quite much more than its disadvantages, first there is nothing like freedom, as a single person you can use your freedom to your own advantage and no one questions where you go and what you do but married life is something else as you need to be put under question when you stay outside for long, as a single person you have the right of choice but as a married person you have several obligations waiting for you

Being single has its ups and downs ,yes. But if you had made a choice or it was really fate for you being single, then it all depends on how to survive. One of the advantages of being single is that you got to hang out with your friends much often,You are not obliged to like communicate with him every now and then,etc. But of course there would be some disadvantages too like when its Valentine's Day and you got no one to spend a date with,something like that. But whether you're single or not, you are the only one responsible for your own happiness, not anyone else.

i like single life. but what other think? i want to knnow u like single or not?

I have been single for a couple of years now, and I have to tell you that being single does not mean that you have a lot of free time. I have a very busy life and sometimes have a hard time trying to squeeze time in for friends. I do enjoy being single, I am not really the settle down type of girl. I do enjoy going out and seeign movies and playing pool, but to actually have a relationship kinda scares me. I would prefer to just casually date when I can find the time.

I think being single has its freedom because you will not get tied down by your partner. However, sometimes you get lonely and upset and wants to have a listening ear.

For me What I just missed my single hood were the free time and gallivanting moments without anyone to ask permission with. Instantly I can go anytime, anywhere I would like with my friends..that's all..thanks

This morning i heard on the radio that two people were getting married only to reciece a better youth allowance. I believe it isn't right. Money shouldn't be the reason to get married.

Hello friend, I am single right now and I am proud to be one. There have been debates about it but then I am happy when I think about the fact that I do not have to answer anyone for anything and everything. I do not have to keep on calling someone every half an hour and then talk nonsense.

As u said it has negative and positive sides to it,,Right now I am double,, but Only God knows what's in my mind,,god bless us all

Eversince I got single... I have a lot more time for myself. I have learned to pamper myself, which i failed to do in past relationships, because then... I needed to think about my partner before doing anything. Like, going to a spa is something I have to plan... because there's the two of us... now, I can do that anytime. Everything I earned is spent only for me and my son. I have learned to put priotrity for us alone. The only off part about it... is my child, growing without a partner, unlike most children. As for me, it's kinda deppressing to see other families, with husbands/fathers who played their role well for the family. on the other hand... it's an added challenge for me. I want my son to see me as the coolest mother there is. I wish to play basketball with him, play in the rain, teach him plumbing...haha!!! literally, and hopefully... anything a father could teach him. Then again... I can never be a full pledge father and that sucks, just because I chose to be single. But we'll be fine, that's for sure.

When you are single, I believe you are surrounded by a dream that you never know who is just around the corner and is meant for you.
