Most of my life I have been with someone, or dating someone or flirting with someone. But now, I realize I have made some bad choices in relationships and I am taking a break from dating. So what may seem like a silly question, I ask sincerely, how does one be single and still find happiness? What do I need to do? How do I get an identity that is not wrapped up in a girlfriend?

Go back to the life it was before you started dating. Like, when you were a kid. What did you do? That's right, attend classes, go to school, church, library, volunteer work, hang out with friends and family. There's a world out there, it doesn't have to revolve around one person all the time. Discover yourself. When you truly find yourself, you will have much better relationships because you are not focused on one person all the time.

Dude, I know exactly what you mean. My gf and I broke up a few months ago, and I'd like a gf at the moment, but being single isn't horrible, it's just harder in a couples world. The thing I would suggest is to just hang out with your friends--you'll find out that your friendships will become stronger now that you're not diverting a lot of your attention to a gf. It's probably one of the good things to come out of not dating someone. You'll find out who you are too. Sounds silly, but I believe it's true. It just takes a bit of time.

Find some type of orginazation to join. Do you go to church? If not, then try join a singles group at a church. There are lots of groups that you can get involved with that are geared for singles. It is probably a good idea to be comfortable with yourself first and then the couples thing will fall in to place. Good Luck

You need to accept being alone before getting wrapped up again. You need to figure out who you are and what you want in life with a woman, for once let her find you just relax spend time with family and friends.

Happyness and joy are inside of you not outside And you are the living proof of this . All your life joy came from woman But if you take time to go inside yes deep down inside of you you will realised that you had never been happy
