Being single sucks

[Aeneas]

yes it does suck. and anyone who tells you otherwise is deluding himself/herself - they'll jump at the first opportunity that comes their way to share their lives with someone.

you can get used to being alone and completely independent - perhaps even ignoring what a relationship really feels like if you've never been in one - and live a relatively happy life regardless, but people naturally want to pair with someone else for a reason.

the world is just too cruel to take it on alone, and parents die and friends and siblings will eventually marry too.

Being single rocks but it also sucks at the same time! I hate not being able to have someone to text. Or to hangout with or to wake up next to.

Ditto!! It's so difficult being single, I love waking up next to someone you love and watch as they snooze on ever so gracefully. I miss those days.

i don't know about that . i know people who are very happy being single ~

It depends on your perspective.

I was in a relationship for 13 years who was a substance abuser and died as a result of that...that was a lot of hard work.

I have had 2 short lived relationships since then, but have been single for the last 7 years. I am not going to say that I don't romanticise about being swept off my feet again because that is human nature.

I will say it does not suck being single, I am quiet happy and content with my life at this point in time. I have some great friends that I love very much and mean the world to me. I have some awesome family that I couldn't imagine life with out.

So once again, it depends on your perspective.

guess I'll throw my 2 cents in...

first of all, I prefer actual conversation to texting, but I guess that's a generational thing.

in my past, you can be more miserable in a relationship than you might be being single. Some of the most peaceful times in my life were when I was working, had friends, and it was just me and the cat, and a quiet apartment.

I had an ex whose family was in constant chaos. They would be showing up at 3 in the morning, evicted, beat up from their husbands, they're fixin' to shut the lights off, I'm about to be evicted, the cops are on the way, the dog got drunk and died and mama's goin' to prison, etc., etc. Since I've gotten my own place and been single, my life has flowed in a lot more peace, lol. Some people like my ex and his family thrive on constant chaos. If there wasn't a crisis they would create one just so they didn't get bored.

I'm not one of those people and have enjoyed the peace of my home for the past few years.

Now I've met a guy I'm getting serious about again, but sometimes, I guess it doesn't hurt to take a time out.

Being single has it's place and time. For some people they may wish to remain single, or be forever with someone. It's all preference.

I myself have been single forever except for two short heterosexual relationships which were both awkward and uncomfortable. I practically forced myself into them because it's what everybody else does, right?

Looking back at it all, being single for such a long time, have become very self-sufficient. I am very capable of taking care of myself,home,pets,plants,cars,job,etc... I look back upon everything that I've done and have no regrets, it was a long journey that helped make me who I am. It's just at this point of my life, especially now that I've accepted myself as being gay, choose to share my past, present, and future experiences living with someone.

ya good relationship is better but the others are sucker you know..
so nothing really bad to be single i should say unless you can't stop your desire to have an other half

[Chase]

Yeah. My emotional attractions are almost always more powerful than my sexual attractions so unlike sexual libido my feelings aren't really going to just turn off. I've never even been on a date. Not with a guy or a girl, I didn't even go to the prom with a friend.

I'm only seventeen, but I can't see myself enjoying being single for much longer. Thing is, I never go for anyone unless I can see it going perfectly, (which might explain why I've never had a bad break up - or that might be to do with the fact they were all girls x3) so i can forsee that creating problems in my future soulmate searching. I know it's a bit of an old-fashioned viewpoint, but to me sex is something i could only do with somebody who i really care about and trust, and hope to spend lots of time with. So for me, singularity is a bit of a curse but the wrong type of duality can be alot worse
