Simple question. How do you feel about being single? How long have you? how do or did you adjust?

    I have a ton of hobbies so it never really bothered me much. Relationships come and go. Don't dwell on it.

    I love being single. I’ve been single for 5 years now. I don’t know if I’d ever be able to live with someone again.

    The prospect of dying alone in a nursing home — possibly with little consciousness intact —doesn’t thrill me.

    This. Just change the 5 to 6 and that's me.

    I've been single for 2 years. I have 3 kids. I definitely have my good and bad days. Thinking about how much my friends vent about their partners is the best way to get through it the bad ones. Also, I'll find a way to be social whether it's going out with friends, texting or just posting on a forum (like this!)

    I wouldn't say I love being single, but it has given me the opportunity to get to know myself and appreciate my own company. Also, I've found the confidence to get out of my comfort zone and try things I never would have while I was in a comfortable relationship.

    You're being overly dramatic. It's more likely you'll die in your home with all of your cats and they'll eventually find you when someone does a welfare call.

    Otherwise perfectly accurate

    I have been married 37 years and hope I never find out. We also work together too so it would be a drastic change for me.

    I have been single for 5 years. It took a bit considering I was in a 10 year relationship but I'm good now. I have a little boy and we stay pretty busy. I have come along ways as far as my career... I would like to date again eventually :)

    You won't know, and if you get lucky, your imaginary friends will be there with you. Being single you won't have to watch a mate go through it either.

    I've been single for 6 years. Occasionally I would like to have someone to go out to dinner with other than my friends and family, you know, like a date? I just signed up for Match, mostly out of curiosity, and honestly I don't see that as leading anywhere at this point.
