single is fun..you're free to do whatever you want.

i'm also single...its not fun, i tell yah! i don't believe in what other singles says that being single is fun, being in a relationship is better

hey i'm in a five year relationship! hehe..but in my opinion..happiness is a choice,...you can be happy whether you're single or attached..as long as you want to be.

I am not single. There are ups and downs to both. The definate upside to being single is getting to do what you want! I'll admit, I kind of miss that.

yeah being single is freedom...but there are some things you really miss about having to think about someone else too...i guess no situation is perfect!

I enjoy being single. It's more liberating. But relationships are fun when you're in the right mentality for it.

I agree, happiness is a choice. There are pros and cons to both. You have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy in a relationship.

I'm separated from my husband, and soon it's likely that I will be divorced. So I am almost single now-single in the fact that I live my life as a single mother, but not free to date.

I rather like being alone right now. I've been in one relationship or another for a long time, so I think it's time now to just live for me and my daughter.

I am married, but I was single for quite a long time and I didn't really spend a lot of time pining for a relationship. I had a full life, a good job and great friends and I enjoyed things. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything, though I can't imagine life now without my husband.

I am glad you are happy. I think if I was pining for a man I would be unhappy too, but luckily right now I am so turned off men that it isn't a problem. My (soon to be ex) husband has seen to it that I can be happily single.

Being single can be fun - you can be entirely selfish for a change, and you don't have to consider someone else when planning your weekends or evenings.

I don't understand why people are in such a rush to give that up.

well i only can say one thing. immature people have this tendency of wanting what they dont have. when they're attached, they want to play around. when theyre single, they want a partner!! its only when people experience real relationships that they realize how important it is to commit - fully!!

[britjojo]

I am not sure that one can ever truly be selfish when you are a parent, unless you are neglecting your child. The needs of the child always seem to come first-whether it be for food, for clothes when money is tight, or for your time when you are busy. They just have to-and they deserve it too.

When I'm single, I enjoy being that and don't mope around. In relationships I am content and love having someone so close to me and doing things together. It's the breaking up that is hard and the crappy dates in between relationships.

i totally agree...i feel the same way...the moments in between are the hardest phases!
