brokenhearted?nbsb? Some people feels so bad because they are single for like a long time. They feel that no one is loving them in a romantic way,and that's the reason why some feels that they are not accepted. But,hey, look at the brighter side of it! No pressure, no stress, no demands,what else? Time will come of course, so share the best thing of being a single..

Best thing about being single: My credibility seems more reliable. When I was in a relationship, people see me as a person who is distraught at things on the wrong time. So, when I am single, they believe they can depend on me. I also can think more rational when listening to other people's problems, because I do not influence my opinions based on my emotional experience point of view, instead more calculative and clear visioned.

Well what really good about being single is you have all your free time for yourself. If you are really busy with work, then if you are have a girl friend then sometime you need to spend your time with her to do her thing. Like going shopping with her, take her to the office and pick her up. Also being single make you able to save more of your salary. Well at least that what i think.

It is good to be single you have freedom to do what you like to do. There's no pressure, expectations and demands. Sometimes being in a relationship is very complicated things.

You can do anything you want, anytime. You are free to go to bed when you want, watch what you want on tv, eat when and what you want, and so forth.

Don't feel your out of this world if your a single. I've been in a relation but i feel more relax now for being a single. No headache, no conflicts, no problems, no nothing. But i still consider to have a relation in the future.

I'm almost 24, and of those years I've spent 20 chasing the kids of my sister and brother. With my sister, her oldest son is only like four years younger than I am. You ever tried to deal with kids that are close to you in age? And there were five of them altogether. And once I got up in the early teens, guess who got to be the babysitter if my parents weren't available? You guessed it! So for me, the best thing about being single and unattached to anything remotely female-looking is that I don't gotta worry about chasing my own little demons around. As it is, I'm still chasing my brother's three kids. They're funny, but they got too much energy. 'Uncle J' is too tired from chasing their cousins to be of much use as a babysitter, and I really don't think I'd do too well now, anyways. My temper's on one of those fuses thats incredibly short when it comes to kids and their tendency to be everywhere at once. Again, I'm 24 and I'm already saying things like 'youth is waited on the wrong people', only instead of 'youth', it's 'childhood energy'.

freedom, doing what you want and when you want, not having to answer to anyone, living your own life and in your own way, independence, peace of mind, relaxation.

Not remembering the date when we first met, the date when we first shared gifts etc. Not having to waste money on useless gifts. Not having to worry about how the parents would react. No high phone bills. Not getting disturbed while Mylotting.

Hi. this seem to be a interesting topic to share our opinions on. I am being single for nearly 2 years after my last breakup with a cheater. I am enjoying my life to the maximum. I am not regretting and will never regret even in future. The best thing that I like in being single is I am being very independent. I dunt need to report to anyone. I dunt need to think if he cares. I just love the life I am living now.

Being single is good? to be in a relationship is fine also. For me the good thing about being single is you have a lot of time for yourself. You have more time to care for yourself and more time for your family and friends. And when you're single you can do a lot of things without asking for the permission of you partner. You're free to do anything, to have more guy friends and everything. :)

Hi shera, your right there are advantages of being single, you can do what you want, you dont have to consult anybody or you dont have to do things you dont like that your partner requires you to do. Sometimes they demand most of your time that you dont have time for yourself already. Of course being single does not mean you are rejected. Singlehood sometimes is a choice. But your still young, you may be single at present but someone will come your way in the future. Who knows maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At the moment, enjoy your being single.

I guess I would have to say the best thing about being single is being able to do what you want whenever you want to. I really haven't given any thoughts to the pros and cons of it. Cheers, Stan

No rejection is my big thing. I hate being in relationships where I feel like it's just a time bomb waiting to go off - that the relationship is doomed to fail. And that's pretty much been all of the relationships I've had - I just KNOW they're not going to work out; not because I'm pessimistic necessarily but because I just KNOW that me and that person aren't right for each other. I seem to do that a lot, actually. I would love to have a boyfriend that I truly like and connect with, but it just doesn't seem to happen. I would love to have standing arrangements for the weekend, I would love to have a distraction and someone to exchange cutesy Christmas presents with.. But at the same time, being single's not bad. You don't have to worry about the stress involved with whether or not your relationship is going to work out, and plus? It's one less Christmas/Birthday present to buy! .

The greatest thing of being single is freedom. You don't need to worry about the extremely expensive house because you can just rent a cheap apartment. On the other hand, being single can enable you to do lots of things without much worries. So don't go into the rush finding a partner. To enjoy the freedom to do whatever you wand when you are young!

To me, being single at least for a long time in life gives you the ample oppurtunity to make a bang in all you do within that time frame. The stress, travails, prodigal spending & the likes will irrefutably be put on hold. You'll undeniably be nearer to your God depending on your believe.
