I am single and very happy that you are single.
JK.
I am happy to be single because I don't think it would be fair to my wife to have a soldier for a husband. I could not leave her in a position where she is scared for me, or for her future. Instead, I just date and focus on my career, which is the best job I could ever wan't. Besides, I know that my job helps people and gives them the opportunity to be able to marry and have future generations. I could not possibly be happier than I am now.

I totally believe that. I'm actually a lot happier being single than I ever was when I was in a relationship. Perhaps some would say that my standards are too high, however it seems to me that romantic relationships are never what you hope that they will be (more cons than pros).
I have good friends who provide companionship when I need it. The only thing there really is to miss is intimate sex. But, even if you're in relationship there's no guarantee that the other person will be in the mood for that at the same time that you are.

YES!
i am single AND happy. of course there would be times wherein you'd feel alone and sad not having a partner at your side but that does not mean you're unhappy. i do feel that way sometimes, but still i am happy. being happy does not mean you need to be with someone, instead being happy means being able to find the meaning of your worth as a person and finding your purpose in life.
being happy as a single individual is like being the only one person left in crowd with no one to talk to. there would be people asking you why you are still sigle despite your many good qualities. others will ask whether you had failed relationships in the past that is why you're single today. whatever the reason is, being single and happy is a choice you can make for yourself (whatever the reason may be).
priests, nuns, and the single-blessedness (those who choose to be single for life and give service to the Lord) are single and happy because they chose what they wanted in life (and that is for the Lord).

I have a wonderful friend in her mid 70's. She is not a loner by any means. She has dozens of friends. She is never home. She loves basketball and is at every ringside event for the San ANtono Spurs. She eats out often and even has on occasion "a boyfriend," but doesn't live for "a man." It's merely a "sexual thing."
Your friends just have your best interests at heart. Many of my friends are jealous of my life as I see my love interest only three weekends a month (a saturday night and sunday) as I work days and he nights. He also works one weekend a month. It's a great arrangment. We have been friends for 6 years, lovers for 5. My kids call him their step dad. And, he has been accepted into our extended family as well.
IF it happens, it does. And, if it doesn't, so what. Be happy with who you are and don't worry what others think.

In my opinion, love relationships are not the only chemicals to create happiness. As long as you're happy, it doesn't matter if you're single or taken. As a matter of fact, those who are taken do have a great possibility of ending up with depression.
Don't mind what your friends think. It is a matter of opinion, after all. Tell them that happiness could be pursued by many other ways than getting a boyfriend. Your friends should really get a life, and stop pressuring you to get a boyfriend. I am amazed that you actually called them your friends.

A good relationship with the right person can be very very good, and much better than alone, but a bad relationship can be horrid and much worse than being alone.
If a friend pushes someone on you, even if they were really good, you are uncomfortable, they are uncomfortable, and you are so on edge you can't tell how good/bad they are.
Much better to just have a lot of friends that you just do stuff with, if that right person is among them, you will have that good relationship, with out ever intending it, and without all that auditioning.

True happiness is possible only SINGULARLY !
There is point beyond which the inward journey has to be by oneself. And true happiness is an 'inside' business !
Outer world (the outside situation of a person) can be at the most a bit supportive, and only upto a point).

You certainly can be single and very happy.
The real question, however, is in which case would be happiER?
However, only you can trully answer that question. If you feel that you are happier alone, then by all means, I'm happy for you. But if you feel you would be happier, even though you're already happy, then you should go out and find you a Romeo (that is if you want to be more happy).

To live on your own and depend on no one is the most satisfying lifestyle I can think of. To rely on another person to make you happy or whatever is pathetic.
Most couples are so unhappy. They always have to make sure the other one isn't unhappy, or cook them meals, lend them money, have sex when you're not in the mood - F*%^* THAT!!
I was in a relationship for 12 years. I've been single for 2 years of my adult life. This is the best time ever. The relationship almost killed me. I'd recommend to anyone to find out who they are; and to know that they are capable of before ruining their life.
As "Six Feet Under" 's Nate said "maybe that's what relationships are - always doing things you don't want to"
I love that line.
Stay true.

Since I am single, do I feel any happiness inside of me? NO not really at all. I also believe that being single really affect my health, also my relationships with people. I am very sensitive so all I want is someone touch me in arms, or any where he touch me. That would make me feel happier and content!
