Being single = being as OCD as I like without anyone getting upset. (all dishes must be washed, clean sink and stovetop, no clothes on floor, seat on toilet will always be down, clean toilet and bathtub, etc..) Eating whatever I like whenever I like (ie. breakfast at 12, dinner at 8-9pm.) Working for hours on whatever projects I want and not be bothered to pay attention to another's needs. (ie. art projects) YEAH.. those were the days.
Am dreading the day my boyfriend of of 2yrs is planning on moving in.. He's a pretty good sport so far and has not gone insane with all my rules around the house. (please don't break my house, costs too much to fix things..) But not exactly feeling 100% there. Haha. I may be the only female that really don't like to co-habitate or even consider marriage.
I also like having the freedom to pick and choose when to be bothered with a relationship; sometimes relationships are too much work with too little reward, and ain't nobody got time fa dat !
Being single means I can choose to be in a regular/local relationship (not exactly my strong suit); I can choose to be in a friends-with-benefits relationship (I like the flexibility and freedom they offer); I can choose to be in a long-distance relationship (flexibility and freedom, again); I can choose to do a drive-by (short-term, intense relationship); or I can choose to be alone (alone does not mean lonely – I love peace and quiet above all else; I actually like spending time with myself, my thoughts, my hobbies, and my interests).
To sum it up, the thing I love most about being single is having the pleasure of choice. I get to choose whether or not to be in a relationship. Choice is a beautiful thing .
Traveling is really the best. I plan far fewer things when going alone, and do a lot more spontaneously because I know I won't have to hear anybody else's opinion. And not having to plan, in general. I hate doing that.
The biggest thing I love is my personal time and space. Some SO's were able to respect my need to space, but most don't get it and impede on it constantly. I hate meeting new people, but enjoy having sex with whomever I want. Especially when the sex isn't that great in the relationship, haha!
Otherwise most things that I do while single, I still continue while in a relationship. For the most part I am involved with people who don't try and control me, so I can do what I want, without having to ask permission. I won't accept plans if I have plans, but I don't say, "I have to ask my SO if I can go have lunch with you". Yeah. That's just not a relationship to me.
But more seriously. Like others have mentioned, the total freedom. Also I'm a guy who can amuse myself. No need for a LTR.
Sure I like some relationship fun from time to time.

No, you're not alone. Plenty of us have that same philosophy. I think living with someone just absolutely kills all the romance in the relationship. How can you miss someone if you're seeing them all the time? How can you ache for them if they're always around? I firmly believe that "absence (or distance) makes the heart grow fonder ."

Ohhh Aaaaaallll !!
Al Bundy, 3rd best TV Dad ever; #2 – Homer Simpson (The Simpsons), #1 – Peter Griffin (Family Guy). Dr. Cliff Huxtable (The Cosby Show) could learn a thing or two from these wonderful, caring fathers .
