My ex girlfriend and I broke up a couple of weeks ago, and oddly, I feel great! Its not like our relationship was bad or anything. It was the best relationship i've ever had in my life. But afterwards, after we broke up, I mean I was really sad when we did, but the day after, I was jolly. So my question is, are you MyLotters happy being single? :D

Well i like the idea of being single because I have the freedom to do what I want. I don't want someone to meddle in the things that I want to do. I want to have my time for my family. I don't have to think to much because I am a busy person. But I was thinking that will I be happy if I am going into a relationship?Of course, there is also advantages of being into a relationship. I like thought of being cared by someone. But i think, i prefer to be single rather that having a relationship.

It would always depend on every persons situation. I too once had the same feeling like yours.never knew single could feel this good.LOL maybe because we just miss our selves being single..that's why we come to a point of loving the fact that we are one. it gives us the chance to love ourselves even more..its time to do the things we like,we tent to enjoy the things we love..because sometimes we forget to notice ourselves when we are with that someone we love..instead of thinking or planning things for our own we tent to think whats good for the relationship in order to work out.so when you done with it, now your free..being single sometimes makes you realize things,or makes you do things that you don't usually do..makes you experience and explore a lot about life when you are alone..makes you learn things better off alone. and being alone doesn't mean being lonely, that's a fact that we know for sure.. for my own opinion, its great to feel great being single.its a way of being positive in life and in all possible things we go through in the future..stay happy..we deserve it. and things happen for a reason..:)better days are gonna get better..

Being single has its own pros and cons. While being single , you can enjoy your freedom to the fullest. Wake up anytime, bath anytime, drink tea without brushing teeth, leave wet towel on bed, drink till you drop, get in as many girls as possible to sleep ! All these however come with a price tag. When in a relation , men tend to be responsible and try avoid doing all the things their girl would not like . I say this this because i am a man and have observed myself in both the cases, when in relation and when single. I however prefer being single coz i will be sure of my heart not being broken again by any woman . :(

Well, there are nice things accompanying life being single. There are also some things you would miss being in a relationship with someone. With me being single right now, I have full control of my time. I can go wherever I want and do whatever I'd like to do. I have more time for myself and my work. I get to know more people. But there are times that I'm melancholic and thinking of those times that I had shared with the woman I loved, it makes me nostalgic. I'm happy when I'm busy, I'm sad when I'm alone.

Being single is OK. You only have to spend money on yourself. But sometimes I get lonely. Last week my boyfriend broke up with me. I got depressed for the few days. So I started mylot. Right now, I forgot about it. Except at night when I sleep.
