I'm not going to lie, sometimes I do get lonely. But, I have so many things in life that I am trying to accomplish right now, being single is probably the best option. I have never enjoyed my alone time as much as I have now. I like having my own schedule, working out when I want to, going to a movie when I want to, I go out to dinner when I want to and not having to check in with anyone else.
Honestly? I really don't mind. I don't think about it too much actually. If it's going to happen, it will happen, and I don't have to do anything but wait.
I'm single and have been enjoying it, to my surprise.
Good for you. Being single has certain advantages.

Hmm, have you ever heard of the marriage penalty? Your ability to enjoy tax breaks depends more on your bracket than on your relationship status, anyway. As for Valentine's Day -- who cares? It's just one day.

Some days it bothers me, but most days it doesn't. I would rather be single than end up with the wrong person. What I don't believe in doing, however, is badmouthing marriage and married people in order to make singleness sound better. I think the fact that some single people feel the need to do this says a lot more about them and their true feelings about being single.
I frigging LOVE being single... I am seeing a few people, but for valentines day etc, I have parties for all the other single people and it is a BLAST, because no one is getting nagged at to go home early, or to stop flirting with each other etc..... it rocks!!!
There is one person though, if he is who I think he is, it would absolutly rock to be married to him, funnest guy ever.
my main goals in my life now are personal and professional. anything else can go to ****.
i have no energy for dating now. so i don't miss being single, nor do I miss being in a relationship. I think it's best not to ever feel envy, since IMO it's a sign of poor emotional handling.

What about you?
I've enjoyed it--well, enjoy might be too strong a word--how about preferred it for the past 14 years.
Do you feel like an oddball in this culture that celebrates Valentine's Day and gives tax breaks to couples?
No, I didn't do valentines day when I wasn't single--again, preference--so I don't miss it now.
