No I love being single. I think it gives me great freedom and independence. I don't have to get scared that I'm cheating when I check out the good looking girls. And I'm just generally happy anyway - for now. It definitely doesn't depress me, I am happy as I am :)

May its just you haven't found that one person you would be very much in love with that you no longer need to look for others?

Being single gives you the freedom to do whatever you want in your life. When you are involved in a relationship with someone, you share their ideas,and hopes and dreams. Having that special someone can be very rewarding to your life. When you are single, you are the sole guardian of those hopes and dreams. Being single can make you a free spirit, but it can also be a lonely existence. If i have the choice, i would rather have someone to share it all with.

Yes someone to share our life with is rewarding.But if you don't have that special someone you can always share them to other people in your life.

Being single use to bother me but not really anymore. I guess it's because I've just become so accustomed to being by myself. I've lived on my own since I was 18 and I'm 42 now. I've had a few girlfriends and have even, at times, thought that I would like to get married someday. But, I've realized that the sole reason I wanted to get married was because I was lonely. Now, I'm sure there are people who have gotten married for that reason and have made it work. But, for me, I've got to have more and better reasons than that to get married. After all, I believe a person can be married or in some sort of relationship and still be lonely. I don't even have a girlfriend anymore and don't really want one. I expect I'll be single the rest of my life. And I'm ok with that.

Sometimes I feel good about being single, but sometimes it really feels lonely especially if you came from a long realtionship. But I really believed that it's important to love yourself first before loving someone else. That's what I am trying to do right now, loving myself.

being single is the best........ you will be very happy to be single after break up...when to come to know that ur partner is not the right person and also u didnt like him much and was forcefully into the relation but if ur love is true and u break up do to some other reason like family , career etc. than u will be very depressed and miss him a lot

I have mixed feelings. I feel strong and independent yet also always alone. I take pride in not being completely attached to someone and not having to deal with any drama involved with relationships but it still rips me apart inside when i walk down the street and see two people kissing and holding hands when i have no one.

I like being single yeas it still doesn't beat the feelings of security when you're in love and in a relationship but being single is also a blessing you have more time for your family and friends. You also got more options which is the best thing.

I believe that I am a strong, independent person, who can be happy and complete without a man. That's my feminist side. I also believe that being in a relationship where we were both equal, and cared about each other would be really nice. That's my romantic side.
