being single is cool,no worries about anyone,no limitations and best of all no heartaches.you'll be happy being carefree.you'll enjoy the benefits of being free to talk to anybody or entertain suitors whenever you want it.but somehow,at the end of the day,deep inside our hearts,we'll feel the longing of having someone there for us and talk about love.we get this feeling that we wanted to say that three words flowing inside our hearts.someone we can hug so tightly to express how deep our love is and care about.deep within us there is a voice saying,"i need to be inlove",having this guilt feeling that being single is not really cool and happy but just accepting the fact that we haven't found our significant other yet, being patient while waiting for the right person to come along and let love find us.

Prior to being married, I used to be single for periods of time. Sometimes I was good, having fun with friends. Some other time I was feeling to have so much love to give but nobody was there. There are moments when we feel alone and abandoned. A hug or just some sweet words make the difference. Having someone near you in bad and good times is essential. We are not to stay alone.

I'm already married, but prior to being one, I've been single for a long time, and I was fine with it. Although I have to admit that as I grow older, I became anxious that I might stay single forever. Being single in itself isn't a bad thing as compared to being married or being in a relationship. Both have their own good sides and bad sides. It is something only us can certainly tell for sure what works for us.

Ah yes, you said a mouthful. I'm single again after being married for 14 years. And yes, it has some distinct advantages. But I do miss having that someone special in my life. Someone who knows my likes and dislikes before I even say anything. Am I just in love with the idea of being in love? I don't think so. There's nothing like that closeness you have with another person.

Yes,I happy to be single for along time. Then just like u, I longed for something more...a home and children to go home to, a husband who will be there when I am down. So at the age of 34 I got married, had 4 beautiful kids, and tried my best to keep a home. But now at 42, I am disillusioned. I had no problem with my job, I adore my kids. It's the bruises that I got from my husband who doesnt want to work that torments me. I dont deserve this!!!! Now I felt like I am trapped, lonelier than ever, and so unhappy. I just hope my children will not get so affected.

I am happy being single and yes no one sets any limitation/s or asking me what to do and what to avoid. I am happy being free and freedom is the best thing that money cannot buy. So, I am not worried being single , my friends are enough to fill happy memories and fun without heartaches.

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost two years now. Somehow I miss being single. I don't say it to my boyfriend because I don't want to hurt him. When I see single women out there especially my friends, I feel happy for them. It is because there are no limitations. No one will block to their plans. For I, I don't have any regrets. I am very happy with my boyfriend. It is just that being single is also a great feeling for every girls.

Being single is really, really cool. You can do and buy what you want, you don't have worries, you don't have any commitments and most especially, you're free from heartaches! Yes? But are there times in your life that you long for someone's presence, care, attention and love that your friends nor your family can't give you? It's good to be single, but it's better to be in love. Isn't it good to have someone to come home to, to talk to, to share your laughters and tears with, and to say the words "i loveyou"? well Being in love is the best feeling that anyone, of any age could ever feel! so.. Spread the love people! :)

to be single is actually a good thing if you can bear loneliness or heavy rain night.If so, you must be a strong person. but what if you are feeling not good, you need someone to comfort you or you just need a deep hug as you said. this time, you do not yo say a word and this person can feel you. you are just waiting for the right person. come on . waiting for your good news.

Hi, Single blessedness has its own happiness. I can compare my life before and after I got married and I may say, its more fun to be single than being married. I can go about anywhere, buy what I want, get what I need.

You can only be a happy single if you love and like yourself. If you are able to live alone and do NOT need anyone to make you feel complete or happy or busy. I prefer being single as well. Not all this stress about nothing, always been pushed into something you can not afford, want or like. I don't feel the need to do so to win someone's love or approvement or to belong to .. Love has to be in yourself. If you can't find it there you will never be happy.

Hi friend, both single and love life have its own pros and cons. Some persons will find more freedom and enjoyment in single life and some others have more fun and happiness with their love life, it is depends upon the individual wish. We all need a care taker for us through out for our life, it is really hard to live the entire life as a single person

Everything will have a good side and bad side,so was being single. But as a single man whose age is 27,sometimes I really feel lonely and almost all of my friends have a girl friend,and that also is pressure to me,yes being single is cool sometimes but this period should not last too long. So I think now it is really the time I need to look for my girl friend right now.

you tend to generalise people. Not everyone desires company, not everyone desires love. A lot of people have trust issues for example, for them, they are the only people they can count on and letting anyone close let alone love someone would be risking getting hurt. A lot of people don't want the extra responsibility and a lot of people are just happy with their own company, they don't feel the need to feel a certain kind of emotion. Just like you don't feel the need to hate, be sad, be happy, people don't need to love. They just see how it makes everyone else happy and start chasing around, hoping they'll fall in love. Only they get impatient so they end up settling for the first person they find they can live with, which is why we also have so many break ups among people. Only a few people are lucky enough to actually find the things you see in films, and not everyone wants to go looking for it, a lot are happy with what they have.

Yes, your attitude is right, but not common for everyone. When you got hurt, you'd like to leave your self alone, and you don't want to try another relationship. But we are human, we need love no matter what experience we had. Now, I don't have a girlfriend, while I'm trying to find my partner, maybe in the future I can see.
