being single

September 10, 2008 2:22pm CST
I have been single for a long time now and it's not out of choice, it's because i havent met the right person. One may say that am naive but i truly believe that we all meant for a particular person on this earth. And i believe that he is out there but with the wrong person or waiting for me too. I dont believe in one night stand as its only a cheap high. What do you think?

After a few disastrous relationships I am very happy to be single and I don't want to meet anyone else, I have never met the right person, someone who I can honestly say that I loved. I don't believe in love and don't believe love is for me, so I accept that and I am happy to spend the rest of my life being single. Some people attach a stigma with being single but you can have just as much fun being single, no ties, no strings, no nagging, so many advantages. I guess I am too much of a free spirit and hate being caged and shackled. But I am always honest when I meet people that I don't want a relationship. In any situation honesty is always the best policy. It's down to personal choice but I am far happier single than in a relationship.

I have had the freedom to do whatever i want and not be tied down etc but surely there comes a time when you will feel enough is enough. I think growing old alone and no children or partner to be there for you is hard to take. I wouldnt want to go through that and i have to say you feeeling the way you are is extraordinary and it takes alot to do so. My hat is off to you.

Thank you, but after 9 years of abusive relationships it kind of puts you off for life and gives you a different perspective of relationships, forgot to say welcome to Mylot!!!

Being sigle makes a person philosophically strong as it is quite challenging under the present social scenario to be single as there are lots of temptations around us and we have to battle them out to win and that naturally makes us very philosophical.

It depends how long as well.

There is no problem being single but when you start hiting the 30's and your friends are getting married and having children, it really hurts being lonely.I don want to be a mum at 40 not that there is anything wrong with it.

I think you are right and your on the right track. Having a one night stand I think it's a waste of time and a desperate move. The time will come when the right man will come along your way that is deserving of your love. I think we can be contented with what we have then having a one night stand that is a mistake. Something like a ghost that will be at your closet forever.Men can do it cause it's our nature. But women they can get so emotional. Some think that a one night stand can go to the next level,but what if it doesn't go to the next level,you feel bad. Don't you think it's kind a unfair especially to women. That men can satisfy their ego,and the women are just to be used and abused that this man doesn't think that they have a mother and a sister. Any have to go. Have a nice day!

I think that you have to make sure that you are out there in the world, making friends and being social, so that you will be able to meet your special someone when the time is right for the both of you. The night I met my husband, I almost didn't meet him at all because I was in a bad mood that day and had decided not to go out with my best friend and her husband. She convinced me to and I will be forever in her debt. I came so close to never meeting him because he was going to move back to his hometown...until he met me.
