Why not have an independent long-term relationship. Who said you had to move in with each other? Who said you had to do everything together all of the time?
If I had it my way I'd just see my romantic life partner three or four times a week but not every day...sleep-overs are cool but not living together.
I do get lonely at times, just for someone to maybe watch movies with and hang out with, but overall I think I would rather stay single at least until I fulfill my personal goals. There is so much drama out there!
I like being single. I would enjoy another good relationship again, too. In the long run, a good relationship would probably win out over permanently single. But if I remain as I am, life is still fun and fulfilling.

Single here and loving it. I have so many wonderful friends and a nice social life. Some day maybe, but for now I go where I want, do what I want, see who I want and life is good. Maybe if I were younger and wanted a family it would be harder. For now, gimme more of this.
I did two things I hadn't done in a while the other day - I drove a stick shift and went on a date . I love being single, never been one to not enjoy my own company and have done several things on my own including travelling all around the world. I'm sure the time will come when I want to be in a serious relationship again (I hate the word committed), but for now its fun and peaceful.
Sometimes I envy single people but when I see all these couple in the streets I think I wouldn't be mentally strong enough to get back home in the evening to join my live-in companion (not to speak about vacations, Christmas, weekends...), even if from times to times she is (like most women, sorry if it seems prejudiced) in a bad mood, controlling, abusive, greedy, etc.
I just can't stand after a few months being alone by myself, when I start talking aloud to me then it's red alert I have to find someone !
For the most part, I enjoy being single, but, sometimes I do miss the intamcy of having a partner. Mostly, I miss the sex, however, I don't miss the drama. Yes, I know I could be having all the sex, (with a person other than myself,)in the world while being single, but, I don't like casual.

I'm still enjoying my freedom & autonomy.
