Question

sometimes i think i was happier in a relationship but the guys i attract come with huge amounts of baggage. maybe being single is better...it's just sad knowing that no one is gauranteed to call me before bed time. :-(

Answer 1

Yeah, it is better to be single. Especially if you seem to attract guys with huge amounts of baggage. Maybe you would be a better nurse or social worker or counselor career wise, if these are the types you atract. They wont work in relationships, trust me. You will end up on empty.
Being single has its many advantages...like..
being able to walk around in your bum gear whenever you want.
you dont have to worry about that extra piece of cake you eat.
you dont have to always have it together.
you dont have the extra pressure.
you can be who you want.
less wearing of a mask.
you can eat what you want, when you want.
you can see movies you like.
you dont have to pretend to know what a touch down is.
you dont always have to be aware of how you act.
you can focus on career and education without feeling guilty.
you can eat alone and enjoy it.
you can fart without someone saying that isnt lady like.
you can go out with your friends and not feel guilty.
and you dont have to fake a good time in bed to not hurt their feelings.
plus you dont have to have sex when you dont want it without feeling guilty.

Answer 2

I think if you love someone, its a relationship. If you are not in love, it is best to be single. When you are in a relationship, you have someone there for you everynight (in most cases). If you are single, it could get lonely sometimes. However, if you are single you can do pretty much what you want whenever you want without having to worry about hurting someone else. I guess you take the good with the bad. I think it is also harder to be single the older you get. Once you get older, the single people left have something wrong with them or they are losers.

Answer 3

I don't really understand relationships. I wish I did. My best relationship was honestly when I was 13 and I'm 21 now lol. I think they're nice though. They give meaning to your life. I go nuts looking for the meaning of my life sometimes. Sooner or later I suppose I'll end up in a relationship. I spent 2 years courting a girl and then I stopped talking to her. That was kind of upsetting.

Answer 4

I am not entirely sure. Single allows you a guaranteed chance to swing and fool around, but relationships come with a security and feeling of being wanted. However, being single leaves you alone somedays, while relationships leave you with less freedom and of course that baggage you were speaking of. I have a high tolerance for such baggage, so I prefer relationships.

Whatever you choose, have fun! Best of luck.

Answer 5

For some it's better to be single because it's not considered cheating if u talk to more than one person at the same time and the there is more sex, but me i see relationships as better, because once u find someone who is into u everything else will come.

Answer 6

I can say I've had lots of experience with both and I have always been happiest single. Sure, at the beginning of a relationship it's great, but it never lasts. Best to just count on yourself and take care of yourself. This also applies to people with kids ( I have 3).

Answer 7

well both have their benifits
- if u r in a relationship u have to think twice about the things u do .U have to call,u have to make sacrifices and inorder for you not to mind these things u have to really like the person u are with.
If u r single 1) u have peace of mind and
2) u can do whatever u want and u won't have to explain urself coz u r single do u get what i mean :-)

Answer 8

in a relationship. What is better than snuggling up to a nice warm body in the middle of the night??? Mine has baggage to, but we just deal with it on a day to day basis and it works out ok.

Answer 9

Everyone is different and there are good qualities in both. If you're hitting the wall with men maybe it's time to take a break from dating and make a self evaluation. (What do I want for myself? What do want in a man?) Figure out what you want, make some realistic standards and stick with them.

Answer 10

it depends actually...sometimes i also wonder about the same question...relationships has ups and downs...when things dont get the way you want it to be, that when you feel being single is better than in a relationship...
