Should I Look for Someone New?

I'm wondering if I should start actively looking for a real life-long relationship with someone. I've always had friends and family around, and I've been busy, but recently I'm tired of being alone. Freedom is a wonderful thing, and it's even more wonderful shared. What do you think?

Why not? I don't see anything wrong with that idea and it's natural you would feel that way. Choose a partner wisely, date a variety of women/men and see which one you like best.

If you are bored of being alone and you want someone to bug and give you hassle- then go on. Yes, relationship is not all about happy and sweet moments, you should always consider the fact that, in every relationships there is always misunderstanding. So, if you think you want to set aside your freedom, then you are ready to have someone to fight now.

I don't think being single best equates being free. I know that you don't mean that way, but that's how most people thinks. I think that you should give yourself a chance to explore more by dating somebody/"somebodies." After all, it's all worth a try. My cousin's age is 30, as of this year, and she's been longing to be with someone who's in her league. Unfortunately, she's not attractive and she has some sort of "behavioral disorder." Hmmm... But anyways, be in love before it's going to be too late.

it's true that being single has it's advantages...but at the same time having someone that cares for you makes it worth...and I think that we all want a person like that. so if you feel the need to have someone next to you that yes you should start looking for someone. good luck

That is a decision that only you can make. You are the one who knows what you want and what you are looking for.If you are ready to be committed to someone and to share your life with that person then you should. If you are not ready for that then make sure you take the time you need to prepare for that. A good strong relationship involves work, a bad relationship involves even more.

Without a doubt, having a partner in life is one of the most amazing and precious experience that every person may have.Though some prefers to be alone for the rest of their lives. It appears that you need to be with someone and eventually be your partner for life. It would be nice if you go on a date or group date with your friends, at least, you already knew some of their good and not-so-good side for a period of time and you will be somewhat comfortable with them. I believe it is a very good start for you to check on the neighbors first before going further. Who knows, your soulmate is just around the corner. Just enjoy the time with your friends and pray for the right person to come very soon.

Go for it! The One you seek is out there. Just keep your heart open. And look around. There maybe someone you have in your life already. That's what happened to me. The One was a friend of mine. When we met , we were just friends. But then the connection became deeper and then we fell for each other. I was ready. My heart was open. I wish you all the luck in the world!

If you think you are indeed ready to share your life and share somebody's life with, then go ahead. It may or may not be easy, even if it's your first time. Good luck on whatever you decide on doing.

I don't think it is a great idea to find that important person just because we feel lonely. Marriage is a thing more than conquring our loneliness. If you seek for that person with this kind of purpose, it will be hard for us to meet the right one. be joy and find more meaningful things in your life. I think you can change the present situation. Good luck~

i think it is time for you to look for someone for sharing. Being alone is good also but better not in a long time. Don't force yourself do this, do that... just listen to your heart and do follow it. Honestly i can't live alone for long time, i feel so lonely..so that i go out to make friends and date if my heart wants it.

How can you look for someone new? I mean you fall in love just like that.. unknowingly, unexpected.. that's what I think how loves comes. But if you start loving someone, it's not completely called freedom... it's not like when you are alone. Wish you find the right person

I agree.Remaining alone is really very difficult,if not impossible.We human beings are social animals.We like to live in the company of other human beings.We love to love someone and be loved and be loved by them.Living with and loving someone is also freedom.You want to live in a long lasting company of someone,then go for it.It would be good for you.

If you think that you're ready to having a relationship and give your commitment why not right? i'm a person who love having a long term relationship.. so it's better for you to take your time and finding your true love.

If you think you can share freedom I wonder what kind of picture you have in your head about freedom and sharing. If you start a relationship you have to give in a lot and make sacrafices. This is not what I would call "freedom". If you are tired of being alone then I would suggest you to look for someone to share time with you. There is nothing wrong with helping yourself to a partner.
