You'reasian Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 What's wrong with being single? You have freedom to do what you want to and when you want. You can hang out with your friends, do what you like and come and go as you please. Is it realistic to think that another person can make you happier than you can on your own? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the company of a girlfriend in every aspect but sometimes you just need to sit back, relax and enjoy life
Dark-N-Romantic Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 There is nothing wrong with either. I never heard anyone saying anything is wrong being single. DNR
Pedigree Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Is it realistic to think that another person can make you happier than you can on your own? Probably not. On the other hand, however, I've never seen my cynic of a friend being so cheerful in the years that I've known him. There's a spring in the guy's step ever since he got himself a girlfriend.
Jilly Bean Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 As much as I like being in a relationship, I am always FAR more relaxed being single than being with someone. I'm way too effed up to just go with the flow and not make myself crazy about what's going on in a relationship. My ideal life would be to have a great guy around 3-4 days a week, and then the others, I don't have to deal with him, think about him, or worry about diddly. Is that wrong?
PandaStillLovesBunny Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 You're absolutely right - until I asked my ex-girlfriend out, I wasn't just perfectly fine with being single, I friggin' LOVED it. But when you find that one someone who can make you feel even better, you've gotta take that chance. Even now, I like the independence that being single gives me, but my ex gave me something more, and if I get in a position where I can get that back - hells yeah, I'm taking it.

There's a spring in the guy's step ever since he got himself a girlfriend. I forgot about that second part. But, yeah, you have to look at each individual and relationship separately. When I was a Marine a person could tell when I was in a relationship by how I acted. I am usually more loose and less cynical about life. I am a bit more optimistic and permissive of certain things I normal am hard nosed about. Some become basket cases and would do best on their own than with someone. That is what makes life such a fun and interesting thing to live. DNR

Is that wrong? Ahem, to the owner of those luscious lips....lemme tell you a lil about myself (inserts singles dating profile)... Nothing wrong with that actually. I'm kinda in the same boat. No puns intended lol

But I think you can be just as relaxed when you're in a good relationship.
Jilly Bean Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 It's not wrong. But I think you can be just as relaxed when you're in a good relationship. Eh. You don't know how I hide my mishigoss, Johan. I'm frequently a total basketcase in relationships and at any moment, I am ready to jump ship just to ease the pressure. Being single has ALWAYS felt better to me. But that's another thread... Maybe I just need to date you, my robotic neanderthal cyber-crush... You'reasian - you're sweet, thanks. Do you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain?

I just don't see why people are sooo stuck up on being with someone at all costs.. They rather be miserable with someone than single.. I just don't get it.. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone else... I love being single.. I think I deserve it now.. after having been in relationships most of my life.. It's fun.. it's relaxing.. no compromises, it's all about ME, ME, ME... I can see different lovers as I wish ... waaayyy better than any relationships I've had so far.. wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
Author You'reasian Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 You'reasian - you're sweet, thanks. Do you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain? Not really, but I love rock & roll so put another dime in the juke box, baby
monkey00 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I used to think that way, and I agree at some points in your life it really does feel great to be single. There's often been times where I've been single and didn't care at all about meeting someone or being in a relationship - but times where I've met someone and where we really click and are in tune..I wouldn't give that up for the world. I agree with the others though, when I am single I can be cynical at times or even a jerk I might add..probably a subconscious thing. But when I'm with that special girl, my life usually feels more fulfilled, optimistic and just brighter...it also makes me want to be an overall better person.
mental_traveller Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Being single rocks. Anytime I forget this wisdom, I just have to get myself into a relationship, and within a year I realise how true it is.
