not all of us here has a partner in life but does it have to scare you? what are you afraid off? is it just because you will grow old without having someone in your side to love you and care for you?

Hi kaezy_kulet, yes i'm kind of scared to remain single for the rest of my life. I guess it's because i'm already starting to feel lonely. Since i'm already in the marrying age, i'm also starting to feel envious that my batchmates already started getting married and having kids. I believe that not only do we need to be loved and taken care of someone but i believe that we also have the need to give love and take care of others. So i guess i'm mainly afraid of getting old alone having nobody to love and take care of me and otherwise. Although I know and may have witnessed the disadvantages of marrying, to have a partner in life will still be my choice because of companionship. I wanna have someone intimate that will journey with me and someone whom I can share my joys and sorrows with at the same time. Have a nice day. God bless! :)

definitely I'm very afraid .to think i have lots of relatives who are old maids. It's been more than a year that I haven't found a new boyfriend . But I'm not losing hope somehow I know he'll come at the right time.

When I was very young I thought I would stay single in my whole life because I used to consider men as troubles. Being single, I feel free and have a lot of time to do the things I really like. So, I always tell my friends and my parents that I don't have time to be in a relationship with a man because I want to do many many other things I like. But now, I already have a boyfriend by my side. He wants to marry me the next year and I finally found that actually I can do all the things together. To spend your life with someone, that's a good idea. But the only thing is, do not marry the people you don't love only because you are afraid of being alone!

That thought came to me when i reached my 20th birthday but still I remained positive that there is really someone for me out there and thank God I already found her. I remember back in High School my friend and I would talk about this and I would say to him that you don't find love because it finds you. Then he would reply jokingly well it might find me while I'm watching cartoons. Then we'll just laugh about it.

Right now I am still single at the age of 42, but I am not afraid of being single for the rest of my life. For I have an intimate relationship with God. It 's my daily fellowship with God through prayer and the Word that keeps me strong. Personal relationship with God helps me cope up with the ups and downs of the single life.

I am single and it does not bother me at all. I got out of a long term relationship recently and really have no interest in another one whatsoever. I was looking for my last one, it just kind of happened. I think being single has it's advantages. The only people I have to consider in my decisions is my daughter and I. That makes life drama free and much easier.

Hello Kaezy_Kulet, I enjoy being single but I'm starting to get older and I would like to find someone to share the rest of my life with. Yes, I am afraid of being single for the rest of my life. I'm even more afraid of having kids without a father. I wont feel safe having kids until I'm sure the guy I'm with isnt going to leave at the first sign of trouble. I havent met him yet. lol But I do hope to meet him soon! Hugs, Tianna

It is obviously very sad and lonely to spend the life alone with nobody to share and care, but I think people get used to the way they live...if not very happily. Personally I dont want to marry...there are bad people in this world and I have seen quite a lot of broken families. What I am afraid of is of being in a family and then losing evrythng.
