Being single is great for me.You can wear anything you want,you can go out late as long as you want,noone will stop you,everybody thinks that you can take care of youself.But honestly i miss the times that i walk someone home,movies together,trying to be perfect for someone or even just cook for a simple dinner..its always cool to be single and free but its nicer to be with someone who loves me, right?
How about you?do you still prefer being single so you can do anything you want?

I am a very busy person where I prefer being single most of the time because I think that money is more important than having a girl friend. I am working pretty hard for my life where every single minute of my life counts and I hate to say the fact that having a relationship is a complete waste of time. I am also a believer that a right person will always come on the right time.

I use to have a girl friend once before but she is the downfall of every thing that I have. My freedom, choices and anything that I want in my life are limited. It's like I can't totally move being on a chain of somebody else power. I finally decided to be left alone and remain single where I might think about it again later on but more importantly, I love money. Lol!

Hi hisoka: Well it seems that you ar a good worker. I am too but in my case I don't find having a relationship like a waste of time. In my case I don't like the feeling of being alone. I thgink that, at the end of the day, money don't make us happy. I'm a good worker but I sometimes feel alone and I say damn, I would love to share my time with someone else. Of course I have my friends but it would be beautiful to have a girlfriend. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.
ALVARO.

Hi zsarhea: In my case I've been single for a very long, long time that I would love to experiment these feelings: trying to be better for someone else, to know that someone is waiting for you, to have long conversations by phone with the one you love, to go out with her, these simple details are beautiful.
So my answer would be that is up to every one to decide which is beter. I thing these two stages of a life have their pros and cons just as you mention too. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day.
ALVARO

we'll pity on those who go into relationships out of curiosity, isn't it the sweetest thing that before you go into committing yourself, you are a 100% sure that he/she is your forever???
that's why i salute you ALVARO for making yourself a better person for that special someone and not rushing things too quickly..:)

I think both of it are better because each of it has their own advantage and disadvantage. When a person is single, he/she can do anything that she wants, he/she can move freely. The disadvantage of being single is that you miss the fun and being cared by someone. You missed being loved by someone. When a person is in relationship, there is someone who cares for you. The disadvantage is that there is someone who interferes your decision.

Hi Zsarhea
Being single is great as you said but upto what extent now when you are young you may not feel any thing but one day when you become old then you will feel very lonely and think that how nice it would be if I have a partner to share with me. I think no one can live alone everyone need a partner in their life to share their feelings when you are happy or sad. As you said you can be as you like that can happen even if you have a relationship with any one if you both have understanding between each other. If you have a relationship with a person who understands you, you will definitely live very happily. Ofcourse I am married and am leading a happy married life from past ten years.

Well being single, teaches the liberty and being relationship, teaches the responsibility. Both are important.

I'm currently in a relationship right now and I can do everything you have said. I can wear anything I want, go out as late as I want, etc. Same with my girlfriend. I think it will depend on your partner. He should always respect what you want and should always give you space to breathe.

I think it is better to be in a relationshi[ than to live the single life. Having someone to share your hopes, your dreams and your life with is something to treasure. It is the simple things that make us strong. There us nothing simpler than the union of two hearts. If you are in a relationship, take care and nurture it. Life is precious.

I think being single is great and its cool too but there will come a time in our life that we really no longer can be single because its really to lonely so both being single and not being single has it advantages and disadvantages.But i really prefer someone to be beside me in my life

I have news for you. It may be shocking. Here it is
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AND STILL BE IN A RELATIONSHIP.
Especially if the relationship is a polyamorous one where no is expected to OWN the other person or to CONTROL hir.
So why not have BOTH. A lover AND your freedom !
Cool ?

hello zsarhea
Ya its good to single and its feel free.Feel like you can do anything without worrying.But when you got someone with you its feel like someone is taking care of you.When you smile that someone will smile with you and when get sad that someone will chear you up.Being single is good but it give you feeling of being lonely.but that someone save your soul from the loneliness.So, by my saying it good to single but its very beautiful to be someone.

Being single is great for those people who are liberated well they dont want to be "chained" in a relationship so that's why they prefer such. In my personal opinion remaining single throughout your life is not healthy, why? because who will be around to guide you make you feel how important you truly are friends are great but there is a limit in what a friend can provide having a partner is pretty different by all terms. Yah having a partner can restrict your movements BUT that's the way it is supposed to be he/she is there to set in you in the right path and make you avoid any temptations that you will regret for the rest of your life.

LOL
well people don't really know what they want
when they're single they would be dreaming of being with the one they love
but once they are
they wish they could get out of the relationship as early as possible.
so before committing yourself to someone make sure he/she is really "the one" and not just for fun because sure all of us wants to find that special and one and only someone..

I've been in a relation before. I wasn't ready, not yet. Commiting to a relationship takes time and I found myself between a crossroads. Well, I got dumped...felt pretty bad for the first couple days I got over it, and felt my life coming back.
I had time for all the things I couldn't do before with my girlfriend. I love being single!
