I'm not talking about "not getting married". I'm asking if anyone out there actually chooses to stay single. That means no dating, no relationships of a romantic nature, and of course, no marriage. Is anyone out there "done with love"? And if so, how long have you been completely, utterly, happily single?

So far my answers are from people presuming that I have committed to celibacy, which isn't the case. I'm allowed to be sexually active, just not emotionally attached. Also, I don't need or want a man in my life. I don't want romance AT ALL. I don't want it, I don't miss it, and I chose to stay away from it. If I developed some sort of admiration for a person, I'd simply cut them out of my life entirely.

The old saying is that you usually find someone when you least expect it or not looking for it. This could explain why someone is single and not looking.

I've been single for less than a year but I've gone longer stretches. I don't really care. The last relationship was not so great and I'm in no rush to get back into one. At the same time, I absolutely hate "dating," and I don't do one-night stands. So the answer for me is to remain single and not looking. I'm not ruling out anything in the future, but I am putting my energy into other pursuits in life. I'm a guy, by the way.

It has been said that someone can not love someone until they can love themselves.
I can't say that I have chosen to remain single, but that is the way things have turned out....... I would ponder to guess that the part of utterly, happily single is around in phases, just like being utterly, happily together in a relationship. In both, as in life in general, it shifts along with life.

The truth is the bible says its better to be single, but if you are horny and cant control yourself ,,,get married,,,it dosnt say anything about being lonely,,marriage i beleive is for companionship and sex not because everyones doing it and a big fad. If you have no sexual feelings then stay single.I personally came close to getting married twice ,but just have been to busy with work,in the mean time i can be happy without a woman if i have to but i am still looking. A woman is not gonna complete me,,, truth is and God is.................

I dont have a need to be with a man, but I do have a desire. It is almost impossible not to date because everyone at some time in their life has sexual desires. Even a virgin will get a man eventually. I'd rather be in a relationship with all my desires fulfilled, than just fulfilling my desires with who knows who.

I was single for years after my breakup with someone I loved very much. I was happy not dating...I waited patiently. I met this new someone who is more special and I really thing God is the matchmaker.
