Definitely, freedom is the best thing in being single. You can spend more time with your family and friends. You don't have to worry that someone might get jealous or is keeping track of where you're going and who you're with. Although there are also downsides of being single.

Yes,I cannot agree with you more.If you have a gril friend,you may be in trouble now.When she wants to go shopping in supermarket,no matter what you are doing ,you have to accompany with her.If no,she must be angry with you.She would not answer your call even you call her again and again.You can also save a lot of money .

There are pros and cons to being single: The pros- freedom, unaccountability, financial relief,the opportunity to meet and befriend other singles(this points to a possible end to "singleness" not too far away)........ The cons can be daunting- if one lkes to socialise,one misses the closeness of a"significant other" at certain moments.This,in turn, can lead one into a state of reclusion. Invitations to certain events and functions can be at best, awkward..... at worst,embarrassing. And when our need for the physical closeness of another human being overtakes us, there is where real emotional torment becomes almost unbearable. It is terrible on the young,and painful on the ageing. Then there is the uncertainty of facing the future alone(unless,of course,one has quite definitely made up one's mind to do so).

Agree with you. The best for me is also freedom. I like to be cared but i don't like to be controlled or surveillant all the time. And everyone has some secrets that don't want anyone else to know except ourselves. But if you get married, to be honest to your lover, you have to let him or her know or maybe they stumble on your secrets.

the good thing is (for man) you didnt have to be the guard dog,funny isnt it? But thats true,when i am double i had to take her order almost 24/7 ehehehe do this do that pick her there and there. Its so iritating but some times love would need that kind of sacrificie.Well,at last I can feel the freedom and I can hanging out with my friends for a long time....but I will miss her in my bed again ehehehe

I dont know what is the best being single, but I know the worst thing about is that everytime you are alone & really "single"

Yeah, i would have to agree, the freedom. You do not feel so tied down. You could take some time out for yourself. But i would rather be in a relationship. I dunno, i just like knowing someone is there that loves me when i am stuck in the pit, and if i am single and free i would feel kind of left out.

being single, means you are free. u dont have a husband or wife and children to take care and think for, but its kinda sad especially you see your friends being happy with their special someone. being single, you can do whatever you want in your life.

i am a single mom, and I prefer to stay this way...not for wanting freedom... but for avoiding having "unnecessary" hassles in life...i believe guys slow me down...

yeah freedom is definitely no one in the list. practically i can just go up to any boys/girls and flirt without having to worry that i will upset someone. second in the list, is i have more time to myself. I get to pamper myself rather than pampering somebody else. I also get more time to spend with family and friends.
