Do you worry about being single?

I'm single and very much available at the moment, but I'm not so worried about it. Well, I must admit that I get envy sometimes, especially when my friends are so busy with their partners. But, basically, I can find many things to do, which can spare me from thinking about my being single. Hehehe

I don't think you should be. If you are happy with your being a single then enjoy it to the fullest. I myself was happy with my being single before and did not hurry up finding a romantic partner but then after a while it did sink in to my system that I am not getting any younger and I need to find one and soon I found my wife and right now I am happy with my state of being married. I cannot say which one is better because both have advantages as well as disadvantages but I am happy with both states before and now.

WOW, well congratulations for that. At some stage, I expect that I will find someone-ofcourse. But then, I'm not in a hurry. You're right...on both counts, there are disavantages and advantages. It's a matter of being contented, I guess.

Yes, that's true, although if you would ask me if i want to go back to being single I would say no since I feel that I have passed that stage of being alone in life. I guess I have moved one with my life already and is used to being where I am.

Before I got married, I never think that I would be afraid being single. I was happy with my life even though I have strict parents because I have friends whom I can refer to and go out when I want to. But after I got married, I became too dependant on my husband, and he on the other hand likes to pamper me. Until I become spoilt I guess, because now I am almost always worried if I have to go single again one day. This dilemma is frequent and normal among women because before we have someone whom we can hang on to and depend to, we are brave and can do everything we want. But once we have someone to hang to and rely on, we tend to rest our head to his shoulder and let him do all the hard things (at least that's what I think). I know this is not good because if something happened to my husband I know I will have to depend on myself again and this is a very terrifying thought. I know I have to collect the same spirit again, like what I feel when I was a virgin. To you, I hope you don't lose your good spirit and maintain what you are feeling right now.

Honestly, I have my personal ups and downs when it comes to dealing with boys but it never gets that serious. Or maybe I wasn't ready for depending myself on someone yet. I hope you will be strong if your fears will come. But as of now, I wish you will have a happy life with your husband. GODbless :)

I am currently married and I enjoy being married. I don't want to be single though because I love my husband and I enjoy being with him. If anything ever did happen between us though I would try to find someone else because I wouldn't want to keep on being single. I enjoy having a man to do things with and just enjoy having a relationship. I love my husband very much and I want to stay with him forever. I know people though that do enjoy being single and they would rather not have a partner and they like it that way.

I am female,will be 33 next month and still single..if i am asked whether i worry about being single the answer maybe yes.yes, i am worried, especially i see most (maybe all )of my friends are already married. people will make judgemental statement there must be something wrong with me..is it right?But i try to enjoy my single life..single doesn`t mean you`re not worthy..some of friends have decided to end their marriage..they used to think that women will worthy because they are married..and after they realized that they have married wrong husband,they give me different advice:don`t get married because of your age,because you`re afraid you can`t get a better man and so on. What does it mean?it means that marriage doesn`t guarantee happiness..of course, i want to get married,but i don`t wanna have mindset that i can be happier after i get married,who can guarantee that?i wanna get married because i feel comfortable with someone,he loves me and i love him too..not because of family`s or friend`s pressure.. Just enjoy yourself..explore your potential,make friends,join hobby community or any positive activities..you don`t know where and when you find your soulmate..i am single and very happy.be GRATEFUL for what you have now

I just recently called off an engagement, reason: realized I was not ready to be married again. I've been through 3 marriages, 3 divorces and had an almost 4 year live-in relationship break up at the first of this year. And as I told him, I'm not ready to go down that path again, I'm fine being on my own and single. I don't worry about what anyone else thinks, I have hobbies, I also have friends to get together with and go do things with from time to time. If you are fine with being single, then it isn't a problem.

oh, i'm sorry to hear all of those breakups. but i wish you well... we can't force ourselves into a relationship if we're not yet ready. it's a good thing you realized that before it's too late. i salute you for that! GOD bless

You should accept the fact that you are single. Being single does not necessarily means that you are lonely. There is no negative in being a single with that you are free to think that you are single.

Speaking from the point of view from a married man I suggest that you stay single and enjoy it. Don't ever go into a relationship just because most of your friends are, I'm sure that they make look happy now but chances are they will need a shoulder to cry on sooner or later. You can not find love, it will find you and when that time comes then grab it. There's just so much you can do when you're single, enjoy your freedom. Cheers!

there's nothing wrong on being single... we can still enjoy our life in being single... we can do everything that nobody can blame us... right?

yeah... and really, it's also like being free from the responsibilities of being committed. unless you're ready, you will never enjoy having a stable relationship with someone. :)
