Actually as I write this ive just come home from my "friends" house at 5.30am because I was so desperate to be alone.
Having a man is nice and all but they snore.
Snoring is a problem. I have found out just about all women are very offended if you tell them they snore . LOL
I took a video of my X wife snoring one time.... MISTAKE ! LOL

I think another reason I like being single is because I'm deathly afraid and nervous around men that like me. It started when I was 6-everyday these two boys would chase me around recess telling me they loved me. I was the only girl they did this to. From then on everytime a man expressed interest or even gave me the "look" I run away or avoid them or just stand there awkwardly while they talk to me. To me even beginning the initial conversation once they approach me is incredibly awkward. The first 6 dates are incredibly awkward too. The whole dating process is so nerve wrecking. I could go into crazy stories of the awkwardness and shyness I experience when a man likes me or approaches me(which happens often unless I go out of my way to avoid places where I know there will be men in my demographic group that will most likely be interested). If I could get over the uncomfortableness of it all I would probably not be happier single but if your painfully shy around the opposite sex then it's easier on the nerves to be single.
Put me down as single (again) and happy!
After a marriage that should never have been, and funny thing is that the red flags were there before I got hitched, I soon realized that I'm happier being alone. I do have a girlfriend who stays over from time to time...she says that she wants to move in with me, but I'm not ready for that just now. I'm divorced barely a year, and I just want to be alone for now.
I am over 40, single and content. I can't say for sure if I am happy. I feel fleeting, short term happiness over various things but my longer term feelings are in the realm of contentment. I am curious how others compare contentment to happiness.
The only thing I miss from being in a relationship is a degree of companionship. It would be nice to have someone to travel with but I definitely do not want to live with someone else full time. I need my space.
No I don't I want a relationship but I don't have much luck in finding the right guy.
Same here. I don't think love will happen for me. So I left the fantasy of that behind. But at this point, a few flings with some men that I find attractive, wouldn't be bad. So, i'll probably just go with that in the future. Currently, I have other things to be working on that are kind of important, which may take a few years.

So maybe what I am calling happiness could actually be intense bursts of enthusiasm or excitement instead of happiness? Thanks for the feedback.
