I love being single... have been for the last 5 years...
Would I change anything? Hell no.
I've been in relationships (common-law) all my life.. now I'm single, attractive, mature (55), good, well-paid job, own my house (in fact I own 2), my car, no debts, investments...
Life is good.. I travel, I buy what I want, when I want it. No commitment, no compromise. I eat when I want... I order out a lot, or go to restaurants.
Does that mean I am lonely? Not at all... I have many lovers, friends with benefits as we call them... all younger and lots of fun.
I wouldn't change one thing right now... This is exactly where I want to be at this stage of my life.
Sounds like fun, but I think the ultimate is for someone to "commit", "chose", or "desire" me over anyone else they could have.
I guess it is the difference between leasing and owning a car.
Casual sex never seemed right for me, although the idea of being with a strange man for fantasy purposes has entered my mind numerous times.
But I have learned that indulging things in a knee-jerk way has not been a good idea.
I don't think a sex buddy would work for me.
A lot of my friends have a significant other or are married.
I am single and have been for a while.
I enjoy the single life cause I have all the freedom in the whole to do as I please without anyone thinking of anyone else. I travel a lot, I go to the casino if I want, I can look without worry and have no disagreement with no one. What a life???
However, there are days I sometimes wish I was not single. There are times I go to a party or event and I happen to be the only one who is single or you sitting drinking coffee and you see a couple kissing each other. You wonder if being a couple would be much more fun.
Another thing I noticed is how society views you if you are single. I gotten comments such as "Why don't know have a girlfriend" or "Do you have a wife."
Who honestly enjoys the single life?
I think if u are content with your life as it is that is the most important thing. If u hang out with couples a lot there are bound to be times when u wish u were a couple too, but I bet there are times when a couple wishes to be single. Married friends /couples always try to fix single friends up...[misery loves company-no I am just joking]. I think happiness in a decision. U choose to be happy no matter what state u find yourself in. Even if u were married or involved with someone it does not mean u would be happy. People and relationships always change. Sometimes for the good or not...so what are u going to do? U can ride an emotional roller coaster for the rest of your life where your happiness depends on how your relationship is going or u can take charge of your own life. U decide if u are going to be happy or content. I believe overall well being comes from inside u. If u get that feeling from other people there is always the possibility of losing it...then what do u do...someone else has control over your emotional state. I don't like that. I am single by choice, but my life is nonetheless whole and I am happy with where I find myself now.
I've been single 12 years after 21 years married and go back and forth on how much I like it. At first it was a challenge and an adventure. I loved having more time to do what I wanted, when I wanted with no one to call me at work and ask "what's for dinner?" I could move (to New Mexico) and try new things that the ex never wanted to do. I didn't miss his negative attitude about life either.
Lately I'm tired of being alone, especially in my bed and on weekends. I'd like someone who wants to read a book on history and discuss it or visit historic sites or go camping. Someone to share the day and laugh over life. Learn new things together. Cooking is more fun with someone. It's not like I don't have friends--I make friends wherever I go but it isn't the same. I do think happiness is a choice so being single does not make me less happy. Just restless at times and questioning the purpose of life :-) Maybe next year I'll join the Peace Corps since I'll be graduating from college and considering what is next.

For me, it isn't about being married, either. I am pretty independent, and not willing to give up being single just to have someone and not be happy.
It has to be right.
I would like to experience the things I didn't have in my marriage with a man. That closeness, friendship, and other things. Yeah...other things!
I have been single, single (not married) for 20 years! Yeah I know... Now all of a sudden I am thinking about the next 20 and being alone. I love my independence and I am so set in my ways, that I don't know if I could ever live with someone, but I could surely love someone....
I enjoy being single. I have recently shacked up with a guy found out later 3 DUIs still drinking and driving by the way and is in sales and doesn't keep a job. So my advise stay single until u are sure. It takes more **** to get out of it. I made a mistake. And we WERE that couple that kisssed all the time he sold me on his bull**** ended up supporting him for 2 months. Lucky me so stay single
Gets exspensive keeping up with all the woman It isn't free is it???
