    Is there anyone who is comfortable being single?
    Anyone who prefers it?
    Or do you feel as if too much is missing from your life?

    I wouldn't know the difference really cause the relationships I have had felt superficial or just plain forced but I think it would be nice to actually have someone :frowning2:...

    Well I've been single all my life so I can't compare the two. It's alright being single but having someone to care about does sound nice.

    Comfortable? Not really. That said, it has been a while since my last relationship--and I mean a whiiiiiilllllle, so I've adapted. Would I want to be single no longer? Sure! Am I going through the doom and gloom emotions of being single? Nah.

    I'm single, never been in a relationship so I have nothing to compare it with but I'm not actively looking to change my single status. In a way I like being single, it's fine like this and I don't feel like something's missing from my life.

    I've been single for just about a year. Last gf was my first, and we were friends. Whole relationship was basically the same as it'd been when merely friends, only with a slightly larger percentage of kissing (and all closed mouth.)

    I'd like to get back into the dating field again, although I'm still in the transguy closet (for the most part. I'm actually talking to a girl I met online who knows I'm a trans* guy and doesn't seem to mind.) and I doubt dating's the best idea if I have to present as a woman.

    For the most part, I suppose I'm comfortable being single. Certainly not overly found of it, but I think much of that has to do with the fact I don't get out often enough (homeschooled and kind of isolated), so it's more so that I need friends and to have a social life.

    Would love having someone who loved me, completed me, etc. But I suppose that'll come eventually...

    I like being single. No unnecessary drama of arguments and breaking up. No unnecessary distractions from studying. No babysitting my partner's feelings; I can focus in my own. :thumbsup:

    About a year ago I'd have said I love being single, but right now...I just want somebody there. I'm so depressed about the way I look lately, so I doubt things will change any time soon.
     
  14. I loved being single. I still sometimes miss the freedom, the productivity, the creativity that I felt when I had no one to worry about buy myself. I loved that i could edit all my plans at the last minute, be spontaneous, not worry if i didnt make it home. i didnt have to let anyone know where I was or what I was doing. I could turn off mu phone and run away with my friends. i had a lot of great friendships because i had time for them.

    When I was single I would only have given all that up for someone really really special. (And that's what happened)

    Being single is a state that isn't inherently better or worse than being in a relationship. If it feels like that, then try doing more stuff you love and moving forward in your life and spending time with people you care about and really getting to know and love yourself.
    It's worth it and also ends up making you more attractive to people.

    I am tired of being single. I live in the middle of nowhere Montana, in a very small town. I have plans in the works to move to some place with more people, more opportunity's to meet him. I am a solo traveler, I see and meet so many cool people the world over, I would like to have someone to share this with, and maybe not be a solo traveler anymore.

    #1 advantage of being single? You do not have to share the bacon. True story.

    I'm not very good at being single because I get lonely easily. I had a boyfriend about 2 years ago but it ended badly and just made me want to be held more because I had gotten used to having someone there. I feel lonely and alone/lost a lot of the time and I wish that knowing someone truly cared about me and loved me would help but I really don't know if it would. So, I'm not so good at being single.

    I quite like it. I wouldn't say no to a relationship, though, if I found someone I cared about.

    I can HANDLE being single. That doesn't mean I like it though. I enjoy the freedoms, but I crave having someone to hold me...

    I'm the same way. I was never one of those "I hate being single" people. There are benefits to being single and there are different benefits to being in a relationship. I think it is best to enjoy the benefits of the state (single or in a relationship) that you're in
