Guess it depends what you're after. I'd rather be single than be with someone who wasn't right.

However, right now i've been with someone for an age who i utterly adore and wouldn't change for all the "benefits" of being single.

Sometimes it's nice to be in a relationship, but if it's not working out then I don't see the point of being in one for the sake of it. Also rushing straight into another relationship right after one has just ended is a bad idea.

There's times I like being single, not having to worry about telling someone where I'm going, or being free to go and visit friends for a weekend is aceness. On the other hand sometimes I feel a bit bored and wish I had something more permanant than someone I'm just 'seeing'.

so i'm going to have to adjust to the single life again.

if it never gets boring then being in a relationship is better

I'm also not made for being single

TRICKY.

it does start to weigh on you quite heavily. Plus, it's a bit embarrassing to have to tell those friends you only see every few months that you're still unattached.

it doesn't really bother me that i have no-one. from time to time i think it would be nice but it never lasts long. as long as retain my friends i have no need for girls...

i need someone to validate me! and even if it all goes wrong, i can get some juicy relationship drama out of it, and that's like a real experience ISN'T IT???

seriously, it's a stupid question.

being in a productive and enjoyable relationship? GREAT!
being single and happy? GREAT!

but its a lot cheaper & I got a lot less to worry about, but I just like to have a shoulder to cry on... or someone to suprise and make happy as it makes me feel happy to make those I care about happy :(

*MTFU

But I'm not going to rush into anything Blind, im naturally cautious bout such things.

like, ever.

Well, I mean, I'd get married, but that's different because it has a purpose.

being single when you can't find someone you like enough. i hate couples who are together for the sake of it, and who need someone else to emotionally depend on and kind of validate their existence.

without a boy/girlfriend over none of those things but a significant other. If I were to become single again tomorrow, I would obviously miss my boyfriend horribly, but I wouldn't miss being in a relationship per se much at all. Singledom has tonnes of attractive benefits that I think it's only natural to daydream about from time to time when in a long term relationship, in a classic case of grass-is-greener syndrome.

This time three years ago I was single and fucking happy, now I'm in relationship and significantly less so. Nothing to do with the boy I'm with, just the way circumstances change.

I'm way too insecure to be happy being single. I mean, if I were in a relationship, I'd probably think my partner was cheating on me literally all the time, but I think even that's preferable to the fear that no one would ever want me.

Being single is nice

Being in a relationship is good

I like being single right now.

Maybe at some point it would be nice to be in a relationship

you should stay single, at least for the time being.

kthxbye

I want nothing more than to be in a relationship. BUT it has to be with the right person. I'd take being single ahead of just using someone to keep my self-esteem up. Sure, you can say "I have a girlfriend" but it's ultimately hollow and unfulfilling. So, until I find the right person, who I'm properly suited to, it's single all the way baby!

What's being in a relationship like? I've never had one. Summarise it. It seems pretty tiresome to me. It all depends on the person though doesn't it? God you can tell I've been writing my CV, I'm capitalising things!

that when you start a new lovelife with a partner

you have to go through the whole process again

from 'i definetly don't want a realtionship rigfht now'

to

'isn't it great we can have this Thing, y'know, together, i am so glad we feel the same, and it's so much easier not making it offiial'

to the

'i love you.'

and the inevitable:

'i wish.. we we're both.. older.. or it was another time in our lives... i just can't.. do... this'

FUME!

We should all just get back with our exes and fuck it all off.

1...2...3.

go.

with the wrong person.

I'm living proof of this.

But yes, it is lovely when you do meet that 'right' person.

If that person finds me, they're entitled to me. Until then, I'll say relationships are a pain and demand too much of my time and energy, and I can do without them. :P

What I don't like and can't do is the whole non-comitally dating various different people at one time and not really caring if any of them work out thing because
a) I'm just not good looking enough (or at all) to have that many people interested in me
b) I don't have the patience to be interested in various people at once and
c) I only ever ask someone out or accept an offer if I already really quite like them and think that eventually it will go somewhere

but i'm an EXPERT on singleness, and it's not that great.
i dunno
