Many people force me to get married to someone else,becouse i`m so older now. My parents afraid or concerned to me. The time will comes their no to take care of me. But the true is im afraid me also, if my parents past away, im still alone. I don`t want to think about that, im so much happy now to take care my parents. And beside i`m happy being single. So many disadvantages of being single. Being lonely, lack of intimacy, lack of comfort and so on. My parents told me I`m driving my own life.

Its depends on people and varies man to man. From my opinion you better get a girl friend or go for marry.Because you are lonely.You should need some people to share your feeling and happiness.One life partner is really required to lead to success and to do work of daily life. Do not think that marriage is boring,as God made this thing,so it makes for our betterment and love can change your life and can make you more happy. Cheers

Yes I think that's very true. I know there are many people who can do this easily on their own without having to worry.

I told already that it varies man to man and its own wish whether he or she wants to be single or married.But partner is always welcome and it would be better if he or she is a good and under-stable life partner.

Shouldn't one only get married when they find true love????? Wouldn't getting married for any other reason just be a big mistake???

I think it's hard to feel as though you are going through life alone. that you have noone to come home to and share your day with, noone to help you when life is getting hard or you are really busy and noone who cares when you need someone to lean on. In my experience this is the worst thing about being single. The sense of having to do it alone.

It's an invidual thing whether one wants to be single, married, or attached to a significant other. There are no rules governing this issue. In my case I would be lonely in middle age if I was not married after being divorced. On the other hand I know guys happy to be bachelors whether they've been married or not. I also know women, including a cousin, who had relationships but never wanted to be bonded by marriage and are contented being single. There are no rules. It's all up to you.

It is hard to make a conclusion about whether one should get married or not . Because everyone has his or her own life . We needn't cater to others'definition of happiness . What matters is how we feel . Needless to say , being single has many diadvantages such as feeling lonely , lack of a way to give off our sadness ,etc. But meanwhile we get rid of a lot of trouble .As single men , we don't have to scratch our heads to figure out how to make our spouses happy . And it is impossible for married people to experience carefree life . One should not be too greedy ,what do you say ?

I think there's nothing wrong in being single if that's your own choice,you can also find comfort and love from your family and friends, but the only thing missing is someone to be intimate with, but you don't need to hurry things because of that, I think if you enjoy being single, then be it.

Being single can feel lonely sometimes. Especially when you are not happy, nobody can share with you. And if you are ill, nobody can take good care of you. You have to depend on yourself in many aspects. Sometimes friends can't care about you as well as a spouse. I love China

the disadvantage of being single is that you don't have a partner (boyfriend) to be with all the time you want to. a boyfriend that can accompany you where ever you want to go. even your companion for the rest of your life.. but the advantage of being single is that you can do what ever you want to do without asking permission to your partner. you are fee doing everything you want to do.

Being single's disadvantage? it's not easy naming one... Well I think being single deprive you of the chance to have someone to look... a hand to hold, someone to hug and someone special to love... But being single for a time until you are ready to get married is not bad at all. You can't marry just for the sake of marrying. You have to get married with the right person at the right time. You can't marry just because everybody wants you to get married. There're nothing wrong with you and I think if you still enjoy being single, you can wait, till the right person comes... for now... enjoy your time being single.

If you end up marrying the wrong person you can become more lonely married than single. Obviously the ideal solution is to find someone you love, that you know you could live with in a way that is beneficial to you both. perhaps you are just a very independent person, zhawee, and don't want to take the risk of marrying someone who will tell you what you can and can't do. If i were you i wouldn't chose marriage out of fear, either of disappointing your parents, or of being lonely. you have to chose it for the right reasons, not the wrong ones. i am sure that if you decided not to get marriage you would manage very well on your own.
