i am almost three months single now, and i gradually forget my ex-lover (hopefully), but sometimes i couldn't avoid myself to think of him, so when it comes to my mind(thrice a day), i always ask to myself for how long i could be a single(and suddenly my face turn to sad emotions)... i dont know if i should find that love or i let the love to find me.... could you be a single forever? or how long? if you are a single, will you find the love or you will let the love to find you?

Big deal ! Being single is inn these days ! There are many interesting things in life apart from being in a relationship, which is dicey.Why not spend some time in acquiring a new skill, some knowledge , or cultivate your hobby ? In short try to be busy in things which will help you be a better person in life. A better person in this ever changing world .

I also being single for a couple month. The life without a man beside sucks, especially for an age like this. I think the love is not easy to find, just clear your eyes to choose the best guy

I thought i have read a post from you that you are away from your lover for 2 months already, or was i only thought you of someone else here. Anyway, I don't intend to be single forever nor i want to be single right now. I am so happy being in a relationship right now and i believe that i can be even happier if i stay in a relationship or even be married forever.

Being single is cool actually. I can do anything without of worrying about my another half. I am free to use my own money, time and so on. But again, I just do not want to be single forever. I am sure there are times when I really need somebody by my side, when I am sick, when I am happy, I really need somebody to share it with me. As for now, I am not sure when I can end my singlehood life because financially I am not stable and I am a playful type at the moment.

Feeling the same dear friend,but for nearly one year. I know the value of pain in love when we are single.Every moment we share came into our memories,that we cant able to stop.Its true in love if we are in true love.

Oh, that phase will pass. Three months isn't that long, actually. I was single for 10 months and I felt miserable because somehow a partner is a reassurance that I'm an okay person, but finally someone came along. When I was single I had the chance to improve my relationship with my family, so something good still came out of it.

Well, being a single today, tomorrow or forever no one knows. Because we can hold the time. We don't know when the right time for us to find someone to love us fully... I am a single too and I realize to be lonely if I am alone. But I still think to have someone in my life even it's hard have one...

Don't think about it too much, and definitely don't look for it. Love will find you, I still believe in that. I don't think being single is such a bad thing, you can have fun and be happy and contented even if you're single, you just need great finds and family and you're good to go.

Greetings! Let the love find you. Love is like a butterfly. the more you chaste it, the more it eludes you but if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Do something you enjoy or make yourself busy so that you wouldn't remember him. Time will come you will meet the right guy for you you just have to be patient and do not force yourself to love someone else just to forget your ex boyfriend. Anyway, I can take to be single for a year because I'm quite busy nowadays. I have a lot of things to do first that's why I'm not in a hurry to have a boyfriend. Its okay. I'm happy. Someone will come to me at the right time, at the right place. :)

I was single up until now. Single rocks, well being in a relation too rocks. Everything has it's own flavour. Worst thing that can happen is "Wn ur single, u see all the couples happy. Wn ur in a relationship u see all the singles happy" Evry cow sees the other side green. ;)

greetings! yes, anyone can remain single for the rest of their lives. it's a choice. being single doesn't mean you're alone and miserable. you can have a different life experience when you're single. so don't feel sad that you're single for now. if it happens, then it happens :)

I could be single, but I'm married. Sometimes its good to be alone for a while so you can take stock of your life. If you're a dependent person then its hard to be alone because you need somebody around to help with things or have somebody to keep you in love. I would wait for a while, don't rush love.

I guess no one wants to be single forever, that lonely feeling just killing you along the time goes by. We always searching for someone to love, and it really depends on our fate. I don't want to be single anymore, and I don't want to wait. I will be the one to be proactive. Not to be passive though.

Not sure I myself can put a time frame as to when I can no longer be single or not. I live my life allowing life lessons and nature to take it's course. I do not believe I have ever sought out to find love, as I suppose my love and I have found each other. My thinking is, that if a person wants love it awaits, simply be patient and use good judgment. If a person intends to want/need in their life they absolutely cannot sit around and await it to come to them. Not saying they should go out on a hunt, , but sitting at home and never going anywhere will not do it for them.

I think there is nothing wrong being a single. I was single for a long time until I am an adult. I don't think the life is much changed but it is little more fun, real happiness is in your work and achievements which you got after the hard work. I don't know the better way for the love among the two which you asked, but I think it is a smooth way and you have not to do anything to have this thing in your life.

The best way to forget someone is to fall in love with another one...but my suggestion is think of what is your most want...and think seriously...understand before and can master the tomorrow...but don't start one so easily...

You better understand the meaning of love first. Love is not something that has to be found, it is something which to be fallen into. As long as you dont forget you ex-bf you cannot move on in your life. So you just, i repeat, just try to forget him first. Start making new friends, talk to new people, may be you will get your dream guy from them. Just think over it. Take care.
