Dearest omar0913, let me inform you, I have been single for nearly nine years, and loving every moment of it. So there, ha, ha, ha! Seriously,omar, I really do enjoy my life as much as you do yours, as I have my world of pets, my gardens....and my garden of life that is filled with "friends that are the flowers." Thank goodness, I live in this wonderful country and I can make the decision to be single and not be chided for it. And I'm sure, my friend, that you wouldn't want all your friends to conform to your beliefs, only. Hope you have a rainbow day! Cheers.

Hey, Omar....it's me pergammano....I am female, just had my 61st birthday....and am loving my life. I don't want things, don't need things...and am just thankful for the love of my friends, the love of my pets, the fact that I'm in this world, watching Nature bless the world again with a beautiful spring. Rather than wanting, I am thankful! Rather than needing, I try to be giving, and so I find so much loveliness in each blessed day. Thanks for responding, omar0913....and NEVER could you offend me, you are a good person! I actually meant my reply to have a small bit of humor! Take care, my friend. Cheers.

I think we're all different. Some are happier to be at home on their own but find their company outside of the home. Therefore, they have a retreat.
Others like to have company at home, and take their partner with them when they go out.
Then, others still, like to have a partner at home and go out with their casual friends, for a break.
In their minds, what they say is true, and they're quite happy about themselves. But there will always be some who, in their Autumn years, long for a companion. Well, my friend, it's never too late!
Brightest Blessings.

There's absolutely no problem in staying single. There is always somebody in the same position in later life, who would love a companion to spend their last days with. Then, your friend would not only find his companion but be a companion to somebody else who is single and lonely in this World.
Good luck tomorrow my friend, and Brightest Blessings.

i think when they say that they are happy being single, we should at least believe in them. it takes courage to decide on being single when all other people have their family or have relationships.
it is true no man is an island but that does not mean when you are single, you dont have friends. of course you do have friends and they too can complete a part of your life. sometimes we find fulfillment not by having a loved one beside us... sometimes our life is made happy by other people, like devotion to helping people.. etc

That single person has many friends, thats why he's happy, but his friends has also other friends not just him. he infact says that there are times when he tried to contact his friend they are not available for they were in other friends venue. So he is again alone, working hard to locate his other friends to accompany him. Is he happy or not?

We all have moment where we crave human interaction or, more specifically, the feeling of another person laying beside us, but, with all that being said, I still believe you can be happy alone as long as you are able to fulfill those cravings when they arise

yes, I believe. LOL. well, I know there would ever be a phase of life when these people were still longing for someone. yeah, no man is an island, but if these singles are still having friends, siblings, good interaction with other people, I think they would not really feel bothered by the singlehood.
I know some people who enjoy their singlehood and don't bother about having no spouse.

I guess it's true to some people, especially those who decide to devote themselves to religion, but most of them just set directives for themselves if they don't have anymore choice to marry due to age or they're heart is just picky or other factors perhaps.

My friend, even those who decide to devote their selves to religion still longing something not to mention the calling of their flesh. I have known some priest who visited a bar just to find girls, and some actually has girlfriend, and one more thing they already rented a house for their affairs.

yes i believe them...coz happiness can be found anywhere and in anyways...maybe their happiness is not on having a partner in life...but of course there are times that loneliness will come to them... like what anne frank wrote: "a person can be lonely even if he is loved by many people, because he is still not the One and Only to anyone."

Well, I think there are single people who are happy with their lives. It's really their choice to remain single. No man is an island, I do agree with that. But I think being single doesn't necessarily mean they are totally alone all their lives. They still have family, friends and relatives to share their happiness with, don't they? Even the priests and nuns who remain single have the whole communities that they serve to share their happiness with.

I know a couple of people who are single and happier that way. One is now retired and has been single for about 20 years now. She lives in a home out in the country attending to her garden's and also has real estate that she rents out. She has been highly successful and doesn't feel the need of having a companion.
The other one is 36 years old still living with her mother and has been on one date her entire life. She's still a virgin as well. I believe that she is happy staying home taking care of her brother who has severe cerebral palsy. This has been her life so far and works during the day helping with kids at the schools, goes and plays bingo with her mom and brother.
