    Never been in a relationship (or just getting kissed for that matter) so I really really hate being single because I know I am missing out!

    I just get jealous of seeing FB statuses about how AWESOME and LOVING some guy's girl is...and how he's so madly smitten by her he can't think straight...and how she loves loving him.

    Count me in. I'm actually starting to get depressed here since I'm already in almost mid 30's, single and without kids & I want to build my own family. But the question is, how? :ohwell:

    I love being single and am not interested in getting married. That said, I do have a boyfriend and we see each other once or twice a week. That's plenty for me. The rest of the time I have friends to get together with, exercise to do, just plain alone time, a part time job to give me a routine. I don't need to be married for the money - I can support myself ;-)

    I have enjoyed being single so that I can "get back to me".

    While I enjoyed being married, I was married to the wrong person.

    I look forward to finding my best friend and being back in a relationship.

    Facebook is the devil. Always remember that so much of what people post on it is complete BS. If you looked at my ex's FB status' in the weeks leading to the break up, all you'd see are the meals I cooked for him that he used to photograph and brag to his friends about. And then you'd see the dinner party I threw for him and his friend. A week later, he told me he never loved me. A week after that, he was already dating someone else. So, just take everything with a boulder of salt :-)

    Being unmarried is great, though I do like to have a boyfriend. What I like best about being unmarried is that my time and my money are my own, and I get to spend them however I want.

    I dispise being single, but I have gotten used to it. I think the reason I hate it so much is because I've only ever been single. I was married briefly, which was a nightmare. So I never really had a decent relationship, where I can say for sure I'd rather be married or single. I have no comparison - I can't base relationships on the one horrible marriage I had.

    But I'm very lonely, and that's where I wish I wasn't single.

    I love the freedom of being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. It may be why I have chosen to remain single, honestly.

    Honestly the only good thing about being single is all the free time, guilt-free. However, this is also the biggest downfall of being single. All the down time gives me time to realize how lonely I am with no one to distract me from it. :\ DAMMIT

    I like being single :)! I also like being in a relationship. It's not the be all and end all being in a relationship. To be able to function in a healthy relationship, you must first be comfortable alone. NO ONE can validate your existence, family and friends can embellish it, but at the end of the day YOU are awesome. I recently ended things with someone who failed to notice I was awesome, but I don't mind being alone at all. Right now, I'm focussing on being the best I can be and anyone who doesn't support that I don't have time for :)! xx

    The only thing I can think of that is better about being single is that I could be a complete slob and have a messy house without considering anyone elses preferences. And being a slob come so totally natural to me. :blushing:

    Mama always said " It takes a very good man to be better than no man at all."

    you can make friends and your family will always love you, they can console and advice you with relationships. No need to be lonely. I'm single but never lonely

    usually a man says "i'm single" it means i can't find any hotties, mind if a woman says "i'm young, free and single" well most of us know what that probably means, a man says it see above.

    I was single until age 20, and that was enough to last me a lifetime. Done.

    My sex drive is way too high to be anything else but married, with a wife in close proximity at all times. I don't know how "single" folks deal with such sporadic sex. I'd go crazy.

    I'm pretty content being single :) It's rare that I find someone that I want to be with, who also wants to be with me. It's usually one or the other : / So what can you do? I'm happy with what I do have: family, friends that are like family too, and my roommate's pets to spoil lol I'm in absolutely no rush to find "The One" (if that even exists) and get married. There's too much I want to do on my own first! :wink:

    Ive been single for close to 4 years now. Prior to that I was in a relationship that lasted almost 9. Let me say that I quite enjoy being single. I can do what I please and I can focus on myself rather than trying to always please someone else all the time. It makes the goal for weight loss so much easier.

    I can't prove it...but I suspect some folks are making excuses for "the Suck."

    Course, i'm biased. A LOT. I'm terrible single. I'm wired to connect with a woman. Just. Feels. Better.

    I'd really really love to have a lover to battle for the covers. I'd really enjoy reminding her to put the toilet seat back up when she's done. I'd cherrish her morning breath because it means she's there in bed, nuzzled into me. Okay, I wouldn't really cherrish the breath...but I'd understanding having to even SMELL the dragon-breath means she's there...very close to me. I'd be giddy over arguing about bills because in the middle of the argument, when we're most stirred up, there'd be a chance we'd stop talking and start making out. I can't wait for the day a lover causes me to change plans, just because I want to hang out with her more than anything. The thought of calling in sick to work, because she will not let me out of bed? Fantasy of mine.

    :)
    I'll take one of this type of guy, just package him up and send him on down to Florida...

    eh, "could've had a v8!" lol

    no, but seriously the only true positives are the freedoms to come and go at random or the insecure varieties of everyday.

    You'd be surprised at how quickly sex drops on the priority list. I could probably get laid any night of the week if I wanted to, just go down to the bar and come on to some douchy looking guy, but I don't want to. Sex is the last thing I'm concerned about and I don't want to have sex with random dudes anyway.

    I'm 23 and have never had a serious relationship. I'm totally fine with that :)

    What I love:

    - Controlling the TV, the fridge, my finances ...
    - No one messing up my pristine apartment
    - Not having to make conversation when I don't want to (which is most of the time)
    - Jumping on board last minute plans without having to worry about anyone else
    - Able to spend time with my family and slotting right back in, without having another person tagging after me

    Of course, I think I'm just meant to be on my own - designed that way I think!

    I like being single b/c
    -Not having to explain who that guy that said hi is
    -Being able to buy shoes, bags, clothes without having to hid it.
    -Not have to go to bed because someone else wants you to
    -Watching tv shows I enjoy
    -Not having to deal with unhealthy food around me!!!!!!
    -Not stalling your plans b/c of the other person
    -Not having to deal with someone else's attitude or ****.
    -Not having your happiness or sadness be altered by someone else (disagreements etc)

    It's funny, my best friend loves to do mundane things and have company. "Hey, I'm going to Target, wanna come with?" Uh, hey buddy, were friends, but go f*** yourself. LOL. Not only that, but when I do housework, shopping, etc, I prefer to do it alone. I just don't like other people in my business at all. I like to socialize and have fun, but when I'm doing laundry, cleaning house, watching TV, I just don't want people around. People are annoying. LOL. And, they steal my energy.
    And for me, I think doing that mundane stuff in the company of someone who makes it fun is one of the great things about (good) relationships. Everyone needs their alone time, of course...but I'd rather spend that doing stuff I enjoy, rather than chores. To each their own, though!

    Count me in. I'm actually starting to get depressed here since I'm already in almost mid 30's, single and without kids & I want to build my own family. But the question is, how? :ohwell:
    Sperm banks & doctors, my friend -- the miracles of modern medicine. I hit 35 and decided not to put off what I KNEW I wanted (being a parent) for what I HOPED to have (a true partner) any longer...you just never know how long you have, and i didn't want to wait so long for one that the other became impossible. One $750 vial of donor DNA and an IUI (covered by my insurance) later, I had my beautiful baby girl (the fairy in my pic). Best decision I ever made.
