Stay single

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?

Single is good when the alternative is a life sentence. fo sho! :laugh:
But I dont think anyone entering a relationship thinks it will be a bad one. We live in hope that someone else will enhance our lives not torture us!

Hahahahaha
At my age, I think getting married would be a death sentence, but I am willing to get married in my 30s.0 -
I'm quite happy as a single person. However, I also think I could be quite happy being a married person. It's all about your mentality :flowerforyou:0

Unfortunately marriage has left a bitter taste in my mouth belivimg that it is an expensive piece of toilet paper that says YOU and YOU ALONE are responsible for the other persons actions including any financial piss ups they create.
I however chose wromg the first time around.
I do believe with all my heart that i can love someome and be ever faithful to them without a piece of paper that says so.
I would rather have that. if the guy chooses to give me a ring then he must ne aware it could be a long engagement because if hes the one he has nothing to worry bout. i dont run around. im not smart enuf for games and good sex is hard to find lol
But single still sucks sometimes.0 -
Eh, even after a really, really BAD marriage, I'm more marriage-minded. I'd like to find someone that would make my life epic....0

That's an amazing way to put it Shel! I think we could all keep that ideal in mind...0 -
Being single is cool but I've about forgotten what it's like to be in a relationship (don't ask how long it's been; you don't want to know), so 'upgrading' could be better than this life for all I know. I guess the quest begins to find out if that's true.0

With my lifestyle, single is about my only option.0

Same here! I have loved being single... It's a blast but in the end I do want to get married and have the greatest love story, maybe even a little Amazona.0 -
I'm (very) tired of being single and would like to at least experience not being single before I make a definitive decision to be single or not!0

Not to pick but I hate this line of thinking (even though I've been known to think like this myself at times). I am doing my damndest to make my own like epic. I don't want to be responsible for someone else's hapiness nor do I want them to be responsible for mine.0 -

I couldn't disagree more. The reason my marriage failed was that neither of us were really taking any responsibility for the other's happiness. There were a ton of reasons for this, but that's the bottom line.
I'm hoping to find someone who I can make happy. That isn't really complete without me. Whose life may be a 10, but with me it goes to 11. And vice versa. That's epic, baby...
You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope some day you'll join us... etc., etc., etc.

Well, I think its a combination of the two. You can't 'make' someone else happy, if they dont have their own inner happiness!
But you can certainly enhance someone's life if they will let you. It's a combined effort me thinks :flowerforyou:0 -
there are aspects of being single that i like. i can do what i want, when i want and i don't need to clear it with anyone else or try to include anyone else.
but, i'm also done being single. unfortunately, i don't really have a choice :-)0 -

Epic to me means this:
When I find my epic, I will be with someone who, just by being around them, will make me a better person and will bring my life to a higher level. I will do the same for them. When you're with that "one" I think you just evolve a little... thus bringing yourself to epic status.
I'm just semi-epic now! :flowerforyou:0 -

BTW - I never said I wanted someone to make me happy... I'm quite capable of making my own life happy and rockin' life solo.
Epic status is different to me... but we all have our own definitions on what makes "EPIC"... which is why we are all beautiful individuals. No one alike!0 -

I have always done those things in a relationship. I can't imagine ever wanting to be in a relationship where I didn't do exactly what I wanted. Though at the same time I don't consider it an effort to want to include something that I am in a relationship with. Wouldn't I want to spend time with them anyway? If they don't want to do what I'm doing that's cool, do you're own thing but I'm not going to be stuck in a life where I need to get permission to do everything.0 -
I like being single.
I'd like to have a great marrage, and I've seen a few of those (espevially right now while on vacation with my parents- they were dancing last night and at 60 my mom can still move- no wonder he's still gaga for her).
But I see waaaaay too many unhappy LTRs or marriages to want to be stuck in one just for the sake of "having a man"0 -

well, i just mean i don't have to worry about anyone else's schedule. if i want to do something i don't have to worry about a boyfriend that might want to go but can't that weekend, or wants me to stay in town because of some family event. more like that kind of stuff. i don't mean permission to do something, but more like when you're a couple filling each other in on the stuff in your life.
i MISS the connecting, i don't miss the schedule matching stuff. i have kids and i am ONLY free every other weekend. it makes it a challenge to date, much less have a relationship :-)0 -

I've split up for the 3rd time in 18 months with my wife, I'm very scared of being on my own, but need the will power to push through it and come out the other end.
I think I want to experience singledom but it terrifies the poop out of me, cos' in 41 and already a grandfather.
Advice welcomed,0
