Single vs In A Relationship

Well, i am in relationship...so that i can't say i love stay single even though currently we have problems now in relationship. You are right when saying that stay single, you can do whatever u want, go to meet anyone you like...But honestly i don't prefer stay single entire of my life...i still love dating and being in relationship.

I'm came from a very long term relationship and after we broke up I thought it would be so difficult for me to move on and let go. but my friends were there, they always keep me happy. until such time that I realize I already moved on. I have more than a boyfriend, and that are my friends. they mean so much to me. I'd rather to have them than being in a relationship. I rather be in a relationship with my friendsnthan anything else. :D

I am single and satisfied. I have always thought that if marriage and children were in the cards for me, they would be in my hands. I feel lucky not to say that I've experienced divorce. Boyfriends/girlfriends come and go; I don't need to collect to many exes if you know what I mean. I am trying to fulfill myself with a better career, and focus on me. I am not selfish; and people in relationships have someone in their corner when times get rough. Life brings people in and out of our lives. Who we stick with and how we relate to them is a matter of how we feel. As long as one lives, there is that chance to find that soul mate. If you do not have one now, maybe he or she will come later. Sometimes relationships are a matter of time. I am patient about such things.

From my point of veiw, the basic thing of two people living together or getting married is fall in love with each other. Second, they are getting on well after the passion;At there is another important thing that they will improve quality of life, at least the life wont be bad.

I am also currently single right now and I can say that I am enjoying my life. I could do whatever I want and decide just for myself. I also feel I am very independent being single. If I would meet someone who can make me feel that I need him to be better or find true love, I will not prefer to be single forever.

Hey friend! Don't over think being single and the pros and cons of it. Time and fate will lead you into the arms of someone or keep you by yourself. I prefer being single for the time being, but when i feel its right, relationships are always nice. Or just someone who will always be there for you and provide you with the love you desperately want. We're all hopeless romantics.

I agree with you in a sense. There is definitely a freedom aspect involved with being single and unattached. I hate when people think that they need a lover, boyfriend, husband or whatever - to "complete" you. Know what I mean? I know some people who, during the short stints they have at being single, are so lonely and don't really have a strong sense of self when they are by themselves. I feel like I am not that way at all, I don't know about you. I do agree that sometimes it would be nice to have a boyfriend, especially during the holidays, but it doesn't prevent me from being happy that I haven't found 'the one' yet. Best wishes to you!

Hm... Good question... I've been single for 2 years now and as much as I am enjoying my life as a single, there are also times when I miss the feeling of having that certain important "one" who you can be intimate with (physically and emotionally). That would depend honestly. There are people who are in a relationship (married even) who can still enjoy doing what singles commonly do like travel and such (of course, flirting and looking for another partner is prohibited) though there are limits. On the other hand, singles can definitely do what they want to do at any time but at the same time, they might miss the feeling of being in a relationship. Being single had its' advantage but being in a relationship also had its' advantage. I guess it would depend on how a person would look at it :) As for your last question... Currently, I'm ready to be in a relationship but it seems like it's not the right time yet since no one's courting me.

Well we can't have both unless you're into the open relationship type of deal. I love being in a relationship, but I too also love the single life because I can be wild at times, and don't feel the need to answer to anyone. I am in an open relationship, they can do as they please from time to time, I do as I please from time to time. I know it sounds dirty, but its all preference.. You sound like I do.. Perhaps an open relationship could do you a world of good ;-) Try it... That's if you want to.

I'd choose relationship but only when it I feel it is THE relationship, when my personality matches the other one's perfectly. Just to be together with someone, I wouldn't jumnp in a relationship which I don't feel 100% sure about. Now I have a boyfriend (for a week... yeah, I know, what a long relationship... we're still in the station when we see the whole world through pink glasses :D), and I feel really happy and lucky and I feel there is someone I can hug, I can lean on, I can count on and who likes me back for who I am not who I could be, and it's so good. Definitely, there are people who are independent enough to stay single and love it, but for me, I kind of need company (but not excessively, I need my personal zone and a bit of freedom).

I have been single for the longest time and I experienced the best things of being single. And now that I have my wife - my bestfriend - mold into in one, I may chose the latter because of many reasons. I never been so happy and secure with this kind of thing right now. I feel like I'm a better person now though we are not in a perfect relationship. We have those ups and downs but still we choose to fix things. It is indeed, two is better than one, in happiness or in trouble. Though, we cannot tell about what the future may bring, I still hold on this and If given the chance to pass this same path once more - I would choose to be with my wife again.

stay being single. Try to do things that they cant. look they will get jelous hahaha.

well, I'm in a relationship and I have to say it's not as bad as I thought when I was single. but i have to say that there are times when i miss the freedom of being single.being with someone does not make things better, it just changes them. and change is good. sometimes, i miss my flirts, my space, my time, MY being the word that counts.that is what changed for an example. now it's our time, our happiness, our problems. I do agree with you. I loved being single.I wasn't seeking for this relationship.It just came to me and I jumped in. I don't regret it at all. ait has it's ups and downs but it's just.. beautifull.when you find someone that really cares about your happiness, you won't have problems doing some things by yourself. so it s better when you still have some of you single freedom but also someone to run to.

Me personally, I'm married and I LOVE IT. I've been single and I enjoyed that as well. It's beautiful when people can enjoy being single. You can take out quality time and get to know yourself, figure out what you want in life, who you want, etc. I personally don't think the goal in life is to be single. You can find someone with a similar personality, morals, goals, etc. then you won't have to worry about "answering" to someone. Just take your time and enjoy being single, but don't close yourself off to the idea of being in a quality relationship or marriage. Good luck!

I would rather be single than in a relationship with someone who doesn't appreciate and respect me that's for sure. I've been in that kind of a relationship and now I learn to appreciate the moments I spend on my own. but as you said there are moments when you feel the need to be with someone, the need to be loved. being single has it's good parts but I don't think this could compensate a relationship with someone that trully deserves you.
