It's only failure if you want to be in a relationship. If other people expect you to be in a relationship, like parents or friends, they may see it as failure but screw them! Do whats best for you.
I particularly find it a failure since I've expressed my feelings for multiple girls over the years but the feelings haven't been the same, haven't been reciprocated especially when I consider myself and caring, kind, respectable and gentlemanly. Where I try my best to find love but inevitably have lost hope in love due to relationships not developing after many many tries
Well, I know relationships aren't perfect. It's just there is a lot of issues in life such as dealing with a lost one, getting into serious injuries, and dealing with issues of mental abuse. I wish I had someone who was there to support me through these crises. Also, to just feel lively with other people.
I've been single for years, and in truth I find I can be myself when I am single. I also find I can get things done without unnecessary pressure from another half with conflicting deadlines. Being single, even though I get no sex, has been the best part of my life. I can focus on my budget, work, and life in general.
Being in a relationship is harder than being alone. On the same note sometimes we feel disconnected, when we are on our own and try to fill that void with something else.
One thing I've learned from the past, is to not jump into a relationship just because of loneliness. It's selfish and feelings end up getting hurt.
When im single i miss having someone to talk, but when im in a relationship i sometimes just want to spend time by myself or hangout with the boys. Its not a failure unless you been single your whole entire life and everytime you try to get into a relationship you get friendzoned

I don’t think your relationship status is a sign of failure. I choose not to date because I’d rather put all my effort into my future. I make money seven days a week with two jobs and I’m starting up my own business soon. If that makes me a failure then fuck.
It's only a failure if it's not what you want. I'm perfectly content being single at this juncture of my life. I enjoy doing my own thing, and there's no way in hell I'm ready to begin a family of mine.
I'd rather be single than be in a bad relationship. People who think being in a relationship should be the main goal in life don't know how to live themselves and that to me is not success

When you're in a relationship people on the outside always wonder, what does that guy or gal have that makes them so attractive?
People have many reasons why they are single and they have to live with it whether it is a choice they've made or it's just because they aren't liked by the opposite sex as much as they'd like to be.
But we are all attractive human beings single or not!
It can be, but it depends how you failed. If you never go out and ask people out then you've failed and that's bad. If you asked people out you come back more experienced and tolerant to rejection. Yes you failed, but you gained something from it.
Oh sweetness I don't believe for one second that anyone WANTS to be alone some of us just take a while to get it right some of us have horrible luck or judgment or we r just too Damn nice and others just would rather be a miserable turd than put forth the effort it takes to make a relationship work
I mean I'm glad I'm single because I don't have to worry about another person constantly (I know that's how I'll end up lol) but I'm also not glad I'm single because HEY IM LONELY AF BUT THATS OK.

I dont know but I have been single my entire entire life, I had never ever had a boyfriend before, never dated steady or just for months. I dont know what it feels to be in love. And at my age now I dont think now I even want to get married anymore or even have kids either. But finally at my age I found someone I am attracted to but for my misfortune, I dont think with this guy I be going further and this guy sis the very first guy who I feel something for.
This depends on the person and their mentality. Not applicable to every one, My openion is having a partner is always better as u never felt left alone and the only person u trust with heart. And being single is never a failure until you take a wrong decision like if u can't dare and stay
I like being in a relationship but when I was single I like being single being single does not have to be a sign of failure I know it is cheaper being single and you have more time for yourself your friends and your family

There a HUGE difference between being single by choice, and being single yet wanting a relationship.
The latter tends to only affect men , women have options if they so choose.

If not being single is a goal, then being single is a failure. If not being single is not a goal, then being single is not a failure.
It is that simple, and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise needs an intimate introduction to a read hot poker up their nethers.

I think that's a misconception.

"being single a sign of failure?" Some people are just happy staying out of relationships.
I prefer to be a relationship and I'm happy with the one I have.

I don’t know but I’d much rather be single than settle for someone I’m not into or be in a toxic relationship. Been there, done that.
If anything, I felt even more lonely when settling or dating someone toxic.
I like being in a relationship but when I was single I like being single being single does not have to be a sign of failure I know it is cheaper being single and you have more time for yourself your friends and your family
