you have a full, fun life. and you definitely dont need love to be content. of course, being single can get you down a little. especially when you've been single for a while. but you know how to be patient and wait for the right person. you're life is too good to settle for anything.

Ya, I'm happy alot being sinlge i've seen many of my friends always crying for their stupid galfriends which make them beg. They take her out and must they must agree to all her terms and conditions. Well i heard somewhere that in love their must not be any such terms and conditions. But till the bell rings, Lets enjoy being single....!

Being single is great, most of the time. You can go anywhere, anytime without asking for anyone's permission. There's no committment involved. However, there are times when being single can be lonely, when that happens you cannot allow yourself to feel self-pity, just pick yourself up, and move on. Patience is the key, as the old saying goes "Good things come to he who waits!".

most of my time in life i am happy being single but sometimes i see my friends who have mates and wish I weren't single. i have been married 2 times and divorced them and it makes me mad that it happened 2 times. I enjoy at times I got freedom to do what I want in my home, but other times I would rather trade that in for family quality time. I am a single mom, and sometimes I love it just being me and my son time. Its kinda sad for me to be a single mom.

I think that there are alote of good things in being single, and there are alote of good things in being with a partner. I really think it all depends on the way a person feels towards his or her's situation in life. I know that i am single now, and i do feel ok with that, because i have my friends and alote of things that i am doing, that i wanted to do for a long time and could not do them when i had my partner, or to be more accurate it was harder to do them. But i also know that i would not feel good in being single for a long time, because i am a person that really wants a partner, family and children.

So far, I am happy being able to do what I mostly want without thinking of anything else or those who might think otherwise. Most of my friends would end up getting back or "repoting" to their partners in some days and they would playfully say that "I'm free" for a particular day.

Now I am not single anymore. When few years ago, I felt happy too even I was a single. Just enjoyed my life with family and friends..and very patient until I finally found someone who is now becoming my husband.

when i was just a single then i used to be contented with my life,no one to give me restrictions,no curfews,no need to gohome early,i have lots of time to have fun and do whatever i wanted...but all that is nothing if you dont have a love one to care so i have decided to marry my long time girlfriend,and now we are happily married for 7 long years of trials and happiness and now i realized what really was missing from me when i was then a single and it was a happy married life with my kids...now i think im better fulfilled maybe not financially but in terms of love...im a billionaire....

I like my alone time. However, sometimes I'd like to have a male friend to talk with and do things with. I want to be independent, and at the same time I know myself to be co-dependent, which I want to avoid. The men I've met are too young, too old, too married, or not interested in getting to know me. I'm overweight and I smoke. Eek! It doesn't matter that I have a great sense of humor and good heart. I am also selfish. If I was involved with somebody, I wouldn't have as much time to do my own thing. I just noticed that this discussion is very old. LOL

well i don't know i never had a girlfriend before so yes i do miss someone in my life... But being single does give benefit, i can race whenever i want nobody i saying next to me in the car not so hard oh please drive safely blah blah blah, and i have a cheap life ;-P... And i can do what i want...Whenever i want!

I don't think there is one person in the world who can honestly say they are happy being single. Some people say they are but on the inside I believe they really want to be with someone. It's hard being single cause you see all these other couples together and you can't help but feel like you yourself is missing something.
