I was wondering how many of you are content with being being single. Do you feel it's better than being in a relationship? Or do you wish that you had someone to be with?
I have been single for two years and am loving it. I feel so free and can do anything when I want and how I want. It can get lonely sometimes but that's what friends are for! I feel that I wouldn't want a relationship for years to come. I'm very happy with being single!
Sadly one of my friends is getting desperate about wanting a partner. He misses having a relationship and will often talk about how great it was before when he was with his girlfriend. I try to show how happy you can be as a single person but it just depresses him more... :(

I am single, and always have been, and i really dont think that i have missed out on anything. I'd rather just do my own thing, and not have to worry about that sort of thing. I don't even find myself lonely at all, i mean, when im not with friends, i am either studying, or playing on my computer games, dont even know where i could fit a relationship in!

It is fine for me and i enjoy the single life .When we are in relation lot of problem occur between two of us.I am born single in this world........and i can mingle .I get lot of freedom and it is not necessary to get in relation.I think that single life is most enjoyable life as we are free of tension.

Hi Parrot,
I'm single and I'm fine with it. I have been married and I've lived with guys. I've been on my own for a while now and I have to say that I prefer it as to living with someone. I can date and still have my own place, my own space. I have been doing this for a long time and if I start to feel at all lonely then I can just call and invite a friend over or get out and do something. It's like the total freedom and I wouldn't trade it in for the world. I imagine it's not for everyone but for me...it's perfect.

being single is good for you have time for yourself but for me I cannot stay single forever because I believe we all do have the same characteristic in picking the choices but being single doesn't work for me. I need companion till the day I die.

I'm happy like 90% off the time...although there are sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend. When I think about that I remember how much drama I'm saving myself and that I can do whatever I want when I want. ;) So I presonally prefer being single, well at least for now....freedom!! lol

Friends and having a love one is way so different.
If You Feel that You are settled enough in Your Life,You are qualified to be in a relationship.Friends is also a form of relationship,But Friends are not always on Your side because They may evaporate in the near future,someday You will seek that Joins You in Your happy and sad moments.SO If Your Not ready,dont undergo such a relationships.Better to be In Your Friends ,because Someday You may not Notice He will come In Your life that Makes You fulfilled and satisfied.

Not to say i'm happy being single..but sometimes i enjoy the life being single, i can do whatever i like, i enjoy the freedom i have..it's been few years after i break with my girl friend but now we both enjoy the way we are. I'm single but i still have my family and friends with me..and i think that is enough for the moment.

in my 24 years of bein single, never been into relationship, i could say, i am totally happy. i belong in the family with full of love and raised with full of respect and sense of dignity, with so many trusted friends so why ask for another love from someone? i never bothered myself being single or not, as long as i am happy even bein alone as i can do lots of things when few people surround me. i feel like i am always free with no other things to think of other than my family, friends, career, and some people to help.

Well I am single since birth, and I am used to it, for me I am happy but not all times specially if I see guys with beautiful girlfriends.. But I can not really compare happiness in a relationship vs being single because I did not have any experience being in a relationship. But for now I will enjoy whatever I have and whatever status I am now.

I am more glad to be single rather then having some one in my life. When i have someone with me, a very lots of misunderstanding comes. On the other hand, i am totally free when i am single. No time to worry about any one. Go where ever i feel like. but in a relationship is really sucks, have to don all those foolish things. Some time have to break up relations with our family, if they don't accept that person. I would prefer single to be lived happily.I am single and will remain the same forever.

If we have good life partner in our life then its fortunate to be mingle but if we don't good partner then better to be single... But i understand some misses their partner in life and want to commit in relationship... but sure they will have one in right time.... need to be patient to get good one

being single is only good while your still young and active and have a lot of money as you tend to enjoy life to the fullest without anyone disturbing you. you might can say your happy now being single, yes of course coz you can do everything what you want coz you still strong and young. but somehow when your getting older you will realize you need someone with you since you cant stay as young as you used to be and it will be hard for you to find one if your old already as of course they tend to look for younger than your age if ever you get older already.

I never had a girlfriend in my life yet! I never felt much sad for that nor regret. I am quite happy being single. There is a say: "No head, no headache!" So simply without a girlfriend I can spent more time with myself, with my parents, my friends and relatives. I can concentrate to my studies, my tennis and my Yoga. I can play video games in my PC, I can surf net, doing MyLotting, and so on and there is no commitment at all. I am free throughout the day and spent as my wish. There is no one to accompany with and no one for whom I have to commit or die for! I wished many times for a girlfriend but sometimes I feel no girlfriend no problem.

Well i am partly yes and partly no, but for now i am very contented and enjoying strolling in the malls alone, doing work stuff on my own, and suffering the net with no boundaries. If i think of the future, that makes me worried about, because every women dreamed that one day we will find our prince and live happily ever after. So Whats about you?

I am single and I really don't like single life.When ever I am single I feel like a fish out of water.Single life is boring life.I feel being a single is like a men with a leg.I appreciate when I see some people in pairs.Single people face problem when they really need a help.I miss once I am with somebody and that guy really good and kind , due to parents decision I am single.

Me personally i like being single. i like to have my own space and not worry about keeping other people company.. alot of people i know cant stand being by themselves their social people but alot of people are more intreverted. i also have other things on the go, school i plan to attend and i have to get a few things on track in my life. a relationship would deffintley interfere with that.
but for the most part i dont feel i "need" someone, im a lone wolf!
