I'm single and have been enjoying it, to my surprise.
What about you? I like it some days, but mostly I hate it, I was never wired to be alone, even if I am happy with myself
Do you feel like an oddball in this culture that celebrates Valentine's Day and gives tax breaks to couples? Not necessarily, I'm too young to feel odd yet, but it is awkward when men tell me I'm too pretty to be single...what on earth do you say to that??? haha
Are you putting up with being single until you're in a relationship? I'm used to it now, but I'd rather put up with being alone than be with the wrong person.
Do you feel lonely and long for companionship? I have good friends, but its not the same, so at times, yes.
What is the likelihood you'll be in a relationship or be married? well statistically 90% of people get married right? so even though I have doubts, realistically, its gotta happen if I'm getting more and more attention from men as I get older and older (odd since I'm a woman, but I'm only 23, haha)
Are you the envy of your married friends? that's funny..they actually feel bad for me..which is kinda mortifying...
What do you hate about being single? Nobody to share special moments with..and lack of consistent sex (my sex drive is too high for singledom, haha)
What do you love about it? I'm making a LOT of friends lately!
I am on the "don't like it much" side of not caring. It's not like I enjoy being single, but I've had some bad experiences with females. Very bad experiences. I always thought I was a pretty good judge of character and could read people well enough, but I was very surprised at what happened the last time I showed a lot of interest in someone.
Do you feel like an oddball in this culture that celebrates Valentine's Day and gives tax breaks to couples?
Yes, I feel like an oddball. It seems like Valentine's Day is just an excuse to make singles feel bad. It doesn't help that they advertise for Valentine's Day stuff like a month in advance..
Are you putting up with being single until you're in a relationship?
I'm not holding out for anyone special, I can deal with being by myself.
Do you feel lonely and long for companionship?
The only reason I feel lonely a lot of times is because I don't have a lot of friends. The ones I do have are usually busy, and I hate to bother people with more important things to do.
I don't "long for companionship" a lot, but I do enjoy the company of other people, preferably females.
What is the likelihood you'll be in a relationship or be married?
Dunno, you tell me?
Are you the envy of your married friends?
Don't have any married friends.
What do you hate about being single?
freakin' Valentines Day. I just find myself not caring or not so cheery on that day. I'm fine every day before and after though
That's very true, I could unknowingly marry a distant relative of Lorena Bobbit or some woman who was planning to set up a big life insurance policy for me and then make it look like I died in an accident. I have known many married couples who were absolutely miserable and fight like cats and dogs so things could be worse. To be perfectly honest I have always felt badly that I've never been able to find a wife and I've probably let that emotion get the best of me to the point that it makes me feel like a failure in life. I realize that isn't rational but it's something that's churning around in my mind.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I've had to stop defining my happiness in terms of whether or not I have a relationship. I try to look for what is working and focus on all the benefits rather than what is missing or lacking, because the latter is simply going to take me down the road of feeling sorry for myself.
Don't judge yourself harshly just because you're alone. You won't feel better doing that.
What everybody else is doing is their formula for life, not necessarily yours. You are NOT a failure. You are so much more than you'll ever dream of and have tons to offer. If you don't believe that, no one else will. So the belief starts with you! And it has nothing to do with anyone standing beside you, because no one can add to who you already are. Why? You are an eternal soul of God and that speaks volumes -- temporarily masked by your doubts!
If one day there is somebody to be with, that may or may not happen. That is not something I'm going to be concerned with because it takes SO much energy looking for the right one, energy I'd rather invest in being in touch with me and creating my own happiness. I would never RULE OUT a relationship or marriage, because I don't know the future. But I definitely am not going to spend one minute feeling bad (I've spent MANY yrs already). I hope you can too!
When you feel great, miracles occur...you never know...
I'm single and have been enjoying it, to my surprise.
What about you?
Do you feel like an oddball in this culture that celebrates Valentine's Day and gives tax breaks to couples? No.
Are you putting up with being single until you're in a relationship? Yes. If I am going to be with her, then I am going to be with her. I don't favor casual stuff...
Do you feel lonely and long for companionship? Not really.
What is the likelihood you'll be in a relationship or be married? I don't know.
Are you the envy of your married friends? Sometimes. Some of my married friends tell me to never get married. Some of them say it is not that bad. And some of them say it is the best thing that has happened to them.
What do you hate about being single? Going on vacations and eating dinner alone. Plus, it bothers me when I am somewhere where there are a lot of couples and I am there by myself...DO'H!
What do you love about it? I can do practically anything I want.

How are you defining "single"? I am divorced for many years now, so I am single. But I've been in an exclusive relationship for some time now. Still, I call myself "single".
I actually enjoy it. I think I can remain this way for ever. I date when i want to and chill out for a while.
I never have felt the need to be involved like some do. I have lots of hobbies and interests that I want to pursue. I have a few CLOSE lady friends which is all I need.
When I need a date it's fairly easy to come by. Not to mention even for "intimate" relationships, it's easy to find someone that wants a long term 1 on 1 FWB. IF that's what I want.
Single life is the best.............for me.

I have been told by people I would make a great wife so Im not worried about getting married.
Are you the envy of your married friends?
LOL, no, but I envy them sometimes.

It gets lonely and I love cooking, it would be great to cook for someone special.
I am undecided about it. I like the freedom of being single and the fact that I can focus all my energy on goals. On the other hand I think it would be nice to have a special someone.
That about sums it up.
