Do you hate being single? Why?

Hate is such a strong word dont you think? One shouldnt compare oneself to others also. All of us are different in our own little way and in your group of friends you're the one who stands out the most cause you're the one who's different. You dont conform to the crowd. Sure it might feel like a lot of pressure but you shouldnt really do anything you dont want to do.^_^

Do they really 'criticize' you? or they just 'tease' you about it? cause if they're really criticizing you to the point that you're hurt, then they're not that good as friends.

Anyway, its nice to know that you dont see being single as a disadvantage. It really does give more freedom and being single lets you make more people happy and not just a one individual.

You may be alone, but never lonely

I think we are in the same boat right now, sometimes, I want to give in to their pressure and find some random guy and call him boyfriend but then what? I don't think we are really helpless case, its just that we are more intelligent than them that we would rather have our family and our future settled first. Of course, we don't want a man who would just be a burden to us right? Whenever they tease me about being single I would simply dismiss them by saying "single blessedness". Believe me, it works a lot!

I too hate being single sometimes.Most of the times i see few of my friends with their gf and that makes me think of this.But i kind of also feel that being single is an opportunity to explore more domains of life.If we arent single we are binded to a person for major part of time of the day.I hope you got what i mean.Thanks for sharing.

i am strong, independent and single and i love it. sure there are times when i want to watch a movie and there's no one there to come with me, then i wish i had a boyfriend, or when im in the park jogging along only to find a couple who share the same love for power walking together. sometimes it can really blow up in your face that you're single. but remember having a boyfriend doesn't define who you are. i believe people who think single girls are sad because they don't have a partner are the true sad ones. every one is different and your time shall come one day. we're redefining new standards and we're proving that women can be single and happy.

i love my life and the way it is and if a guy happens to pop up in it soon and can handle me then good for him. i wont change for anyone, i am who i am, and what you see is what you get, no one is worth changing for. my dear remember you are beautiful and you are loved. true beauty measures from your happiness. forget about what your friends say about you just brush it off cause at the end of the day its them who have to take care of their boyfriends and cater to their boyfriend's needs you're single and you're free to do whatever you want. hope i helped. good luck and god bless. cheers love.

No, meelianoscet, I actually love being single. I have been married, been divorced so I kind of have done that, and do not feel for doing it again. I am very much indipended. so I do not want to lose that, wich sometimes you do...even if you try not to...not being a single means responsibility for some one els to beside your self....I do not want that anymore....I need only me, and me alone...lol

By the way, welcome to mylot....

Being single for me, is like a sign of weakness as it means that I have no personality or looks that someone else likes. However I feel that it is not a real priority being with someone, it helps, though I do not look back and think I should be with person a,b etc. I feel that I have missed out on things in life, though it does not usually make me sad, in fact it makes me stronger.

I wouldnt say I hate being single, that's a bit too strong.. rather I am tired of being single. At first I enjoyed my independence but now I'm very bored of it and want to share my life with someone. Trouble is nowadays they are a lot of nincumpoops out there so it's very hard to genuinely meet someone and fall in love. I guess am single because I gave up the possiblity of me meeting someone one day but well now I just take one day at a time...

My husband said after he got divorced with his first wife. He loved being single after 10 years of being married.

He said he can do what he wants when he wants.

He also said he was able to finally do his own Laundry, When he cleaned the place stayed clean.

Pee with the toilet seat up. LOL

Right now I am pretty happy with being single.
I am not dependent on someone which is a good thing. Sometimes my family bothers me with that though..like "go search yourself a boyfriend!" and such stuff but I am fine.
I just finished my last relationship 6 months ago and still I am feeling fine. I am not a person who whines becuse he feels alone. It's okay I like to be alone in that way. I don't have the need to get a boyfriend right away.
Without such a person I can concentrate on my hobbies and all those stuff much easier..and I really enjoy it.
If I find such a person I like again it's okay though but I won't search such a person. So both ways are fine. I don't have dreams like building up my own family, with a nice husband, children and an own house anyway.^^

No i love having control over what i do and dont do,I am the only one who expects anything from me and if i don't do it then i don't do it!You can always find someone to hang with.
