Will you be satisfied to be single in your life?

I have no boyfriend, nor I have been dating before, I don't mind the looks anyway but waiting for the time to come is so tiring, mostly days I will be working, there is no time for love, my question is would you be satisfied if you were destined to be a single in your life? I have tried some dating sites, but most of them want one night stand.

I didn't mind when I was single. And I felt quite well about it. I was free, I could go out and have a lot of fun, without any complication. However, I feel more complete when I am involved in a relationship. I guess that we all need to know that there is someone there for us, and it makes us more stable emotionally.

Emotionally, I guess. I am a person who doesn't adapt rapidly to big changes. And having a relationship for almost two years now gives me the stability I need.

Hi taura, how would you explain your being complete after having been in a relationship? Stay well

I have been through 3 divorces, and the last time, I gave myself a year on my own without any dating, I spent time working, on my hobbies, and spending time with my daughters, one lived in the same apartment complex as I did. I was divorced the last time 7 years ago. I had a few dates, and one 3 yr relationship in that 7 years. I have been single the last 3 years, and loving it. I can travel when I want too, I have my own business on the side, I am a volunteer firefighter, wildland, and I love being able to go and do what I want, or stay home and just hang out with my dogs. I don't think it 'destiny' whether you are married or single. It's how you live your life that matters, and if you are happy with your life. I'm not saying I will never date again, or who knows, marry again.....but, not easy finding a man that can handle me getting paged out for a fire at any time of the day or night and might not be back for 12 - 14 hours at a stretch.

Probably. I can't really say how I will feel when I get older, but right now, I am very happy to be single. I do not want a boyfriend at all. Maybe it's just because I never really connected with any of the ones I dated, but it seems like I might like the idea of dating more than the actual dating. I like to do what I want, not be expected to explain myself, sleep in my bed comfortably.

I like to sleep on my queen bed, and don't have a space for another man yet. Ha...ha

Yes I would. It's not about being destined to be a single. Destination, your destination is to develop yourself first. So you have to ask yourself first what you want for you in your life. What are your goals how can you develop yourself and be who you are? What are the problems you have to conquer first? (many people always have the same kind of problems in their life). After you solved that and you are able to be with you, you can love and pamper yourself there is room for someone else. Might be very well you need all your time and energy for yourself first.

Oh no man is an island dear, every one needs someone to be in their until the end. I also have worked office job fulltime 3 years ago continuously . I used to work in the morning eight hours from 8 in the morning until five in the afternoon then i have to travel 30 min. from my first work place to another then start another full time from 6 in the evening until twelve midnight i barely get enough rest... i agree with you on that no more time to think about love, i have long distance relationship and it did not last. so i started thinking maybe i am not lucky with love and i don't have enough time to think for it... once i also decided to be forever single ...but now, i have come to realize that i really needed someone to care for me and be with me... i thought i could live alone like this.... but now i need someone... to give me love and to be loved... i guess i will not be satisfied being alone forever...

Hi gracia, You look beautiful, I thought you are married, many woman nowadays look pretty and can not get a guy, all I want is a decent guy, I hope we both can find him to give the love and care we need.

Hi wong, Yes if im destined to remain single or double or triple, I wont mind. There is numerous causes of remain ever single. One significant is mentality. Some people always tend to avoid marriage. I have seen many people stil remaining single. I dont know whats the real cause behind it. But in my country remaining single is reckoned on as a bit unculture.

I'm satisfied being single right now but I definitely don't want to be single my whole life. I would love to find the love of my life and be able to share my love with them and be able to have someone that I can share my goals and dreams with. I had a girlfriend that I thought was the love of my life but she broke up with me out of the blue and I don't really know why. Since then it's been kind of hard for me to try and get back out there and date because I really got hurt in my last relationship. I am alright with being single right now though, I can focus on my schooling and I won't have to try and convince someone to move with me once I get through community college. I just hope that one day I can find a beautiful woman and hopefully I can start a family with her.

I grew up knowing that what I really wanted for my life was to eventually be married and to have children of my own. For that reason alone, I don't think that I would have been happy at this point in time in my life if I hadn't been married and had my children. Well, I also know that there is a chance that my husband could pass away before I do and if that was to happen, then I don't think that I would be able to be happy again in my life until I had a new partner.

A pretty lady like you shouldn't have issues at all finding a man at all. Men are pigs on dating sites. Try going out with a bunch of your lady friends, and maybe you may find a gem in the crowd. Some people are destined to be in solitaire or unmarried. I know I wont be getting married at all, because I'm getting to old... lol

I have to make up to snap a good profile picture, if I don't I look ugly as hell, and sometimes single is better than double.

I have been Married 2 times, combined about 15 years. I do get tired of being alone but I will not "settle" just to have a companion. I have actually gotten use to coming and going as I please. No worries of if I am where I said I would be, or whom I am with. If you were meant to fall in-love and marry, it will happen, just wait it out maybe Mr. Perfect is still out there. Good Luck:-)

I won't be satisfied to be single in my life. And to you, I think love will come at a right time, maybe it is the time you are waiting for a bus, maybe it is the time you are shopping...... please don't lose heart. Ask your friends to introduce boys to you, and open your heart. good luck

I think everyone is different. If you have goals early on and work to achieve them then a relationship may become secondary. And if you want a family and kids then a relationship would be a number one priority. It just depends. I tried several times to have a relationship, made some bad choices and have now decided to help my daughter raise her son and men at my age aren't usually into extra family situations in the mix. So I am happy to be single. I have no room in my life for a man. Social networking sites can be fun. Just for the interaction and some flirting. Gets you comfortable and all.

You are pretty, don't waste that lovely face just to be single forever. I don't wear make up myself, and have also waited for years for the right one to come. The long wait was worth it for my bf is really the best I could ever ask for. Just have faith and try to be open. Read books that will help you with your attitude towards men, I read the book boy meets girl and it really helped me. If you could find one there, try reading it. Your right guy will surely come your way soon, just don't lose faith and add more patience. It would be sad if you remain single for the rest of your life.

Well, it is really hard to know which love is real love, which love is fake nowadays. I heard many people who wants to be single entire their life are still happy with their life because they are ready for it and do it. If you really don't want to be single entire of your life, then go ahead, meet more guys and for sure you will meet your right man one day. Don't give up even though you met some bad guy before.

I think double is better than single cause you have someone to live with is a happy thing.And when you have you own baby,you feed him up,it is really a good thing worth to be double
