    YEssssssssssssssss!! I am so so so so so happy. Seriously, I think I'm having the best days of my life.
    I recently read an article that 33 was the best age according to a survey done.
    I'll be 33 next month. :wink:

    I am happy in my own skin and am proud of myself. I'm in a good healthy place right now both physically and emotionally which helps me make better decisions which makes me happy with makes me want to be the best ME I can be.

    I'm giddy most days... for life. I am in love with my life and I don't know what to do about the excitement I feel.

    I am so so so so happy being single!!!! I'm working on me right now, physically, mentally, career-wise, and damnit I don't want to be distracted! I have soo much fun and have some really great friends, and if I want to go on some dates, I do :drinker:

    LA, I have to disagree with you though. I'm thinking 28 is going to be the most amazing age :laugh:

    The only thing I enjoy about being single is talking to all of you everyday!

    Most days I absolutely love being sinle. There are other days when I wish I had a partner but it is short lived.

    Besides I have dr orders to stay out of relationships for awhile and get a boy toy if needed.

    As opposed to being with the wrong person and miserable then sure but in an overall sense not at all.
    I am regarding the word single as being alone so that is very lacking both in emotional ways as well as physical ones.

    I see both positives and negatives in it. But right now I love my job, and it would be extremely difficult to balance a relationship with it. I just don't know that many girls that would be cool being with someone that didn't live locally or were only around 1 week a month. So I am content.

    Man speaks sense. It's not the sex I miss anyway. I can get that if I have to, it's the connection with a person. I do like my me time but I also like to have someone on the same wavelength that I can talk to about anything I want to and act how I like around without them ever being bothered.

    Not really. Only more enjoyable than a bad relationship.

    If I had more time and friends to go out and have a good time I probably would not sweat being single at all. But in trying to be the best father I can be I do not find the time needed to get out and make friends. Not sure I would really know how if I did.

    Some of the time, in that I can do whatever I want to do, without having to consider what a SO needs or would prefer. If I need to go to Austria, France and Germany in a week for work, there's no-one to feel abandoned or unloved. Mind you, there's also no-one to come home to, and I've always been single, so I don't exactly have much basis for comparison except my observations of my friends' relationships.

    I'm surviving it. I'd rather have someone in my life, I'm getting to the point where MY biological clock is ticking like big ben. I know, right, weird for a guy.

    I'm just lonely, I mean I love my friends and my ability to get out and do what I want whenever I want, I'd just like to find someone to do these things with me.

    Basically like everyone else, not unhappy, but not as happy as I could be.

    I do enjoy being single (much better than being in a bad relationship). Though while I have guy friends for the times when I really just want a guy by my side sometimes I wish I had a relationship. There's a depth that comes with knowing someone intimately for years, and you just don't get that with guy friends whose first priority is finding their own special someone.

    Okay well the survey said you start being the happiest at 33 and so far that was the best year for these folks.. when they hit the 33. Sooo that means you're still good. :flowerforyou: How was 33??

    Pretty good, but I expect to make my goals at 34 so I'm thinking it will be better!

    That pretty much hits the nail on the head! But I'm at a point where I'm not interested in casual sex anymore, either.

    But for the most part, I like being single. I like being able to go out with the girls, go hang out with my guy friends, go here or there, and not have to answer to anyone. I don't have to prioritize anyone over me and what I want- and I like that.

    For a long time I was not okay with it. But I've been single for 3 years now. In the last six months or so I've become totally okay with it. I've got a lot of platonic friendships with males that satisfies my want/need to have "men" in my life, so to speak.

    .... Of course, everyone tells me once you reach the point where you're genuinely happy, seriously okay, and enjoying being single is usually when a person waltzes into your life and mucks it up. I hope that's not the case.
