It isn't that there is a necessity for one to be better than the other. When we are single, we can go out when and where we choose, sometimes with friends and other times alone. The thing with being single is that we can make choices, without considering anyone else most of the time. However when we are married, or in a relationship, we do have to consider the other person and their wishes as well as our own. That does not mean we do not enjoy life and have fun either the two of us or with friends. It simply means taking the time to be considerate of the thoughts and feelings of others. My husband and I have been married for 36 years now and we can still go out and have a good time, although not in the sense that we did when we were younger. Maturity cures a lot of that for most people, regardless of the fact that the young think it will never happen to them. So, when we go out we make a decision as to what we want to do, where we want to go and what we want to see. We might not always agree on all of these things, but we discuss it and then make a decision. It might mean a compromise but that is not as important as the fact that we still make choice on what to do etc. Just because we are "mature" and married, doesn't mean that we have forgotten how to live, laugh and enjoy ourselves. :) Have fun, whatever your status, i.e. single, married or in a relationship because we only live once and if we don't enjoy life then it is out own fault. :)

Hi beautiful [;)] well my opinion is that it depends on the phase of the u r going through. see, at one stage of life u need someone who will be thr 4 u always & u can share all kinds of joys & sad happenings that happened to u. this is my thinking. Now i prefer more to be single, with friends, yes i do feel sometimes that i need a girlfriend. but not when my friends are arou d me. cya.

It's nice to have someone that you can feel comfortable with but there are times when all I want is to be left alone. If you are in a relationship with someone and you say that to them, most of the time they don't understand and their feelings get hurt. Being single doesn't mean that you are happier than those who are in a relationship but it is nice to be able to have your own space.

Sometimes being with someone can get you so stressed out that you need some time by yourself and sometimes your partner could be so demanding which made you wish you didn't rush into the relationship. However there are alot of good that can come from being with a partner. I dont think being single makes you very happy you need to have a partner to hold you and embrace you and show you love and care.

It's really fun being single. You can do whatever you want to do without having obligations to your partner. But I prefer being in a relationship and having a partner. It makes me happy. Knowing that someone is loves and and cares for me is a different feeling. I love everything about being committed to a perason you truly love. It gives me a sense of security.

It depends, with the right person who is wonderful, I would like to be with a partner. If that partner was stressing me out, then I would rather be single. You can be alone when you're young but then you hit a certain age and want to have a partner.

Both are enjoyable in their own respect.When we are single we can do whatever we want. Have fun with friends, go for a outing with them, party with them and many more..But when we have a partner, it means we have someone always beside us with whom we can share even the smallest things that happens in our life. It's a different feeling. I wont choose any one of these because i want to maintain a balance between these two. I would love having a partner but at the same time i would also like to freak out with my friends. But we should be aware of the fact that no one should be neglected.

Being with your partner is surely more enjoyabe than being a single. There should be someone on whom you can rely on, whom you love to see in dreams, whom you can talk your heart out, whom arms you can rest. Where will you get all this being single.
