do we really need a boyfriend or girlfriend to live a normal life? there are 5 main advantages that i identified. firstly, cheap telephone bill. yes. send messagge to each other sometimes can be a real pain in the @ss. its like someone rob you. send sms is a new silent killer. la la la... POW!! a USD 400 mobile bill. the 2nd one is you dont have to buy gift to each other for whatever the occasion. its better to buy yourself a new wrist watch or save the money in the piggybank. or buy your mom a flower. you dont have to wait till mother's day to buy her something nice. 3rd one is save time. time is money. date or night out can consume a lot of your time. 4th, focus on work. remember, every second your work its worth every penny. the more your work the fatter your piggy bank. ka ching!! save the money for the future. last one, dont have to give commitment to someone. having companion its like digging yourself into a deep hole. so, tell me what do u think?

With the exception of the last one I think that all are relatively reasonable reasons (is that alliteration or what?). I have been single for long periods of time and dated someone for long periods of time and there are benefits that I enjoy of both. I don't know that there's any substitution for having someone in your life that you truly love and vice-versa though. You just have to find that necessary balance of time for your significant other and time for yourself. Take care.

alone - alone
I think from your opinion you always look everuthing from it cost to you. So, if it expensive it will bad. But I think, there's something in the world that money can buy. Somethings like love, spending our time with the one that we love. There's no wrong if you sayin' all the things. Ok, maybe we are free..but sure we're alone. Only ourself who know that.

I'm single, I don't have a boyfriend and I love my life the way it is...I save on groceries, I cook when i want, and don't as i please..I don't have to call and say that i have to work late or am going to my sisters house, etc...I don't have to hear anyone asking" are you coming to bed soon?"...i don't have to put up with their friends that i don't like coming over and messing up my house, and I can keep my house decorated any way i choose without having someone say they don't like it. I love living alone and really wouldn't have it any other way!

I dont think that you need a spouse to be happy but sometime the companionship is needed. I dont need to be with my boyfriend but I like the company.

When i am happy l like to be in company/ with my wife, bcoz i like to share my happiness. When i am sad, i like to be alone. I don't like to share my sadness.

For now,I don't have a girlfriend.Actually,I agree with you.I don't need to buy gift for her, my telephone bill is cheap.For my other opinions being single,it is not far from your opinions.

That is funny, I do not suppose, that you think it seriously. 1. I have Vodafone Bonus Account, it means that I can talk to my boyfriend all day all night, We are talking on the telephone for hours for free. All our telephone bill $28/month 2.We do not buy gifts to each other even for christmas. Sometimes I get flowers. If I want something I buy it myself, or we buy it together. If he wants something for himself he buys it himself, or we buy together. 3. We live together so we are together almost anytime we want. 4.The love worth more than the money. We work just because it needs. Not because we like to work. I really sorry that you think so stupidness about the love and friendship.

I like being single. I do what I want. When I want and how I want. No one to dictate my every move. Tell I can't put my collectibles out. The only thing I have to answer to are my six cats. Single life is the life for me!

Why we earn money? Not only for ourselves,but for our dear ones only na? So why to think of Big Teliphone bills or Gifts? If U & Ur BF/GF both r having gud understanding nature, then it's not at all neede to think on such issues... Now imp thing is that God han't created us for being Single.Otherwise we all would not be here on this beautiful earth, Njoying our Human life... Of course we shud give some time for ourselves, for our hobbies,meditation everyday, but it doesn't mean that You Shud Live Single... :)

I think you're right in some way.It's not abnormal life if we don't have a boyfriend and girlfriend. It does save as on money for the future and we have to get to go through in-laws.

I believe life is a cycle. There is a time, purpose, and benefit for every time in life. While your single, live it up and enjoy the benefits. And if you choose to be married, live that up and enjoy the benefits. Then life brings you in the phase of being a mother, father, and even a widow, and for some back to a child again. So wherver you are in life, enjoy be satisfied, and be open to growing and expanding in a relationship in a new way!

I think single is good.. but then so is being in a relationship when it's healthy and you are happy. I am single and love my life but it does get boring at times too.

Ya.. being single is good.. but it really hurts when you feel that there should have been someone to listen to you when you are happy as well as sad.. The more you share your thoughts, the mmore better you feel.. I think at some point of time one shouldnt be single...
