Since recently I'm single again and to be honest, I couldn't be happier. Ok, I'm almost 28, and my family is already thinking that I'll never find someone. But I just feel happy because I feel like I can do whatever I want, and there is no drama, no fighting, nothing like that. In my previous relationship I wasn't happy in the end, because my boyfriend made a lot of drama about everything, we fought a lot and I often felt that I was better without him. Now I feel happy and I don't even feel the need to start dating again, I honestly would be happy to just stay single and maybe one day meet someone, who knows. By the way, I'm also not into one night stands, so being single doesn't mean random hookups to me. I also feel fulfilled by my job and my friends, and traveling.
Most single friends I have are quite the opposite. They really wanna date, they really wanna get married, and some are desperate for kids (Yes, even men). I feel like they're not completely happy because they're driving theirselves crazy about it. I thought I would be the same, but I realized I am not, and that's an incredible feeling.
So, I just wanted to see what your opinion is on this. Singles, how old are you and how long have you been single for? Are you happy?
I am single, 25 years old woman. I have been single for most of my life, just had two short relationships that were not super serious. This year has been my happiest year ever, and I think I feel like I am really lucky to have such a great life. So, I'm happy to be alone. I just think it would be wonderful to have someone to love and be loved and share this happiness of mine. I have to say it is my own fault to be single, guys ask my out quite often. But I am really that type of woman, I have a HUGE crush on one guy and can't even think about anyone else.. then become super shy around him... So my relationships begin only if I am super-lucky and the One Guy that I have crush on happens to like me and is brave enough to do something even when I am too shy to even talk to him, just giving shy little smiles.
So Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a big respect for everyone having courage enough to do something. Really.
I'm thirty-five and single. I've been single for a little over year now. I'm pretty content. I miss having a special lady, I miss the sex, but I'm content. I might be going on a trip to Chattanooga later on this year and it would good to go with someone, but it's looking like I'm going alone. Eh, it is what it is.
I will say, though, as far as your situation is concerned OP, for the next five years or so everyone you know in the whole wide world will be getting married and want to post about it on Facebook. I'm just saying.
Count me in as a happy single. After being married for a long time and now divorced for 10 months, I am so enjoying my alone time in my own place. I have very occasional moments of romantic wistfulness or feeling lonesome, but being single is far less lonely than being lonely in a relationship.
If I could date I'd probably be a lot happier being single because at least I am moving in a direction that could end up with me finding someone to make me happy. But nope, I'm single, can't find a date to save my life, let alone just have a conversation with a woman without them insulting me, and it sucks pretty hard.
But I don't plan on it being a long term thing. My family isn't worried about me even though I will be 30 in 2.5 years. I get regularly pursued and hit on virtually all the time. I'm single by choice. Relationships make me anxious and stressed. I'm also in grad school and work and I have a kid so I'm too busy. I plan on trying to get in a relationship until I graduate next year. The only reason I want marriage is because I want more kids. But I'm not desperate. I'm content and feel my best when Im single. I really miss sex though.
