Single... because think about having to be with only one person forever... FOREVER is a LONG time... then you look around and you think to yourself, why am I settling for a Honda when I can have a Ferrari??? I should trade in this old out of style bastard... er Car for a newer more sporty model... I mean Honda is reliable, but how fun can it be to drive it all the time.

Here's what I think about the whole thing:
When we're young, we rush too much. We think we'll never have time for love and romance later, so we rush right in while we're too young to know how we feel about ourselves and without even knowing ourselves. Too often, this causes young marriages that end in cheating, heartbreak, problems, and depression... or that don't end because they get used to the cycle and stay together.
What every young adult should do is this-- stay single. Dating is okay, but don't get serious (and don't get an STD or pregnant, either). Stay single for at least a few years and focus on learning to improve yourself, learning who you really are and what you want in life, and enjoying life as a single person (without a lover or spouse telling you what to do and making you miserable). Once you have your life on track, know yourself, and have had your single fun, then look for love. Give love time to grow before thinking of marriage. Talk about things like whether you want kids and stuff (there's a book out there about the questions to ask a future spouse-- get that and study it together). Be unified before you marry-- then give it time for you to get used to real married life (2-3 years) before planning for kids. And so on. Remember to always enjoy and experience each life phase and don't just jump into the next-- ease in as if it were shark-infested waters. Plan carefully. Think and have discussions. There are times for spontaneity, but not when it comes to huge life decisions.
Having someone in your life can be wonderful, but it can also be a nightmare, while you know who you're dealing with if you're single. Enjoy life for youself before commiting. Please.

Well, I have been single for a long, long time--all my life!
I've avoided the issue of adultery and divorce, and I have no one that I must be accountable to, no one with which to check my plans. I also don't have that life's companion to share the good and bad with. There are perks and pitfalls to both singlehood and marriage.
You can do bad with another person, or alone. You can do good with another person, or alone.
I know that a good singlehood is better than a bad marriage, but I'm not sure that a good marriage is better than a bad singlehood. I suppose it is. The quality of your life is mainly up to you, and to your attitude.

I've been single for the better part of the past decade, and have enjoyed it. I'd dig having someone to share life with in a romantic way, but it's not a priority and I'm not going to go on a 'boyfriend hunt' to keep from being alone...if I meet someone I'm interested in, and we hit it off then we go from there...otherwise I just live my life to the best of my ability and try to make it as great as I can...
I've known plenty of people who were in relationships and loney or unhappy, so having a partner certainly does not guarantee happiness...if we want to be happy, we have to make ourselves so...no one can do it for us...

i think it depends on where you are in your life...i just got out of a long term relationship and know i was happier when i was in the relationship but to jump into annother wouldn't be a good idea for anyone cause im just not ready for it now...you have to be in the right mind-set to be in a working relationship otherwise ur just being with someone to be with someone and whats the point in that? im not completely happy being alone but having a chance to rediscover who i am is a good idea at the moment

I'm a single girl, personally.
I like myself better when I am alone.
In a relationship I feel as if I'm crowded and critiqued and vulnerable.
Alone, I am confident and fun.
I don't cry being single, but relationships have tears.
I guess I happy just being with myself,
and unsure of myself in a relationship.
I like me!
And I like me in a single state of mind.
I'll date for fun, but honestly, I wont settle for anything but the best, and the best just isn't there.
So, I choose ME!!!!

i think it is good to be single for a while, because it gives u time to focus on u and not your better half. i think that is is best to find ur self first before u can find someone else

your life will never be complete if you are by yourself all the time. there is nothing like finding the person in your life that you love and cant get enuf of.
