Anyone enjoy being single?

i mean its nice to not have to worry about everything you do and how it affects someone else but it sucks when you can actually go 24 hours without talking to anyone, or to have someone to go to lunch with or a midnight walmart run for movies and snacks
ive been single for almost 2 years, dating off and on but nothing serious, but still managed to get hurt by one guy, ive learned from it but im ready to get back into the swing of things but not at the same time
i guess im just picky or obviously not ready lol0 -
I am who I am. I have a good life, but there are many times when I think I would enjoy being married or in a relationship with a good man. I am fairly self-sufficient because as a widow with 2 (they were only 3 and 5 at the time) I had to suck it up and swing my punches wide and strong to make it count for them. It's tough sometimes being single, but sometimes it's good.

I don't hate my single life, I just wish I wasn't single! :laugh:0

Once every blue moon I might get really lonely and wish I had someone. But that feeling doesn't last. I love coming home from work and not having anyone -- guy or kids -- to have to deal with. I hang out every once in a while with a friend who is married w/ a kid and she constantly hangs with someone who is married with 2 kids, therefore I have to hang with them too. Every time I leave their house I am so thankful that I can go home to a peaceful quiet house.
Is there such a thing as being alone too long? Like I said, sometimes I crave company -- any company, even just a visit from my mom -- but after about an hour I'm ready for it to be over so I can be by myself again -- in peace.0 -
Awww PJ you're so sweet! :flowerforyou:The only thing I enjoy about being single is talking to all of you everyday!
FabKate La-Amazona I am happiest at 45. At 33 I was very happy being a new Mum but my marraige was already on the skids.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.
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.
Chile plz!! Your over the topness reeks of you tryin to use your enthusiasm to mask your denial. I have NEVER in my adult life met a woman who was HAPPY to be single. I have met many who were CONTENT to be so, there is a big difference.
Well you just met your first one honey.
I'm sorry you seem to be gloomy and that you're around unhappy women. So sad for you. :brokenheart:
Oh and you "reek" of *kitten* for attempting to speak for me.
LOL! You know I do think people sometimes struggle to understand the sheer joy/excitement. I had it too, despite having some seriously bad fall out to contend with at the time. My friend (your age, also a Diana - more conicidences) was the same. I wonder whether this is to do with personality type, or a consquence of feeling trapped in a suffoctaing relationship for a long time. Maybe a bit of both?0 -
As for the orginal question, I love my life right now and this is a huge disincentive to change it, especially since I am just not cut out for todays dating scene. I do want to be in a relationship eventually, but am in no rush. Based on my reaction to my kids being away this week, I suspect them leaving home may be the push I need to start actively looking, unless I get lucky and happen to bump into Mr. Right before then.0

A bit of both, mine stems from a suffocating relationship 0 -
Yes and no. I am enjoying it more than I ever have in my life. I am healthier, happier, and tons more confident than I've ever been and that has made dating tons more fun. The dating scene has slowed down lately as I consider myself "dating someone" and because there is a "someone," I find myself getting antsy to make it a relationship now.
Ultimately, I know that what I really want is marriage and children, so that makes it hard to fully enjoy singledom, but being single definitely has its moments.0 -
I like it except for the fact that I'm the only one of my (local) friends that is single. Many of my friends from my hometown are single, so when I'm with them it doesn't bother me one bit. Here, it's just hard being the only one when everything is a "couple thing" and half of the conversations tend to turn to something about SOs which I have nothing to contribute to. I can honestly say I think at this moment I'd be happier with a few single friends to go out and have a good time with than with a relationship!0

sometimes, its ok and other times its horrible
yep feel the same way0 -
You want to know what really bugs me about being single?!?!?
All those groupon/living social deals that are only good for 2 people! What if I dont have a second person!!!! :sad:0 -
I am wondering how many are defining single as simply not married or in a regular relationship with one person but with a reasonable amount of action just the same as opposed to single being alone with no intimacy or "fun".
Carl,
A valid distinction that could easily change perspective.0 -

I will have to say that 33 was a DAMN good year for me. Enjoy it to the fullest.0 -
I have a love/hate relationship with being single.
I love it in that I've had the time to completely focus on myself and getting fit. Between working full-time and working out 6 days/week I don't have much time during the week for much else...at least for now until I reach goal & not center my life around working out.
On the other hand, I hate it when I'm sitting home alone (mostly weekends) with nothing to do and noone to spend time with. Then it turns into a party....a self pity party!! Ha! I guess it's because I've been single 4 months after a LTR, and am still trying to reacquaint myself with the single lifestyle.0 -

I hear you.
I just miss having someone to hang out with and do things with. Do I want a full time serious relationship right now? No, not really. Unless they were very understanding that my life will not revolve around theirs.
I have buddies to hang out with, but not that person that shares my interests in music or arts or just chilling at the park.
And this, my darling Singles, is why I rejoined Match last night. Because for the first time in my life, I have a life and want to share my free time and interests with someone. :flowerforyou:0 -

Thanks :flowerforyou:
And I had done the same 4 months ago....and this is why I do not swear things off often. I can always talk myself out of it...0 -
Easy. You find some nice local guys in the same boat and just enjoy the activity,You want to know what really bugs me about being single?!?!?

even if they are too old. :bigsmile:0 -
For the most part, yes, I enjoy being single. But I know I am the exception to the rule. I was single until I was 30, and was divorced 13 years later. For the most part, I've been single since then. There are times of lonliness, and sometimes it would be nice to have someone to spend time with. But I really enjoy the freedom of having my space all to myself.0

I love being single. As for the no-sex thing, it's ridiculously easy for a woman to go find sex.... lmao.
Not saying that you SHOULD.. but you could.0
