Are you happy being single if you're single?

Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

I would say yes and No , yes for the fact that I feel
Free considering I been in long term relationships before that turned out to be toxic , No , for the fact that it would be nice to meet someone that looks at love and life like I do , I do miss the feeling of being wanted and valued but with all the shit I went through with exes it’s hard for me to put myself in that situation again and I don’t feel like I have much to offer anymore cuz I am so damaged from those bad seeds I gave my heart to , it’s messed up to say but it’s like I need a girl to sweep me off my feet for once instead of the other way around , for me to believe love
Really Exists anymore , The chances of that happening these days feels like it will never happen , so I just live my life as content and happy as much as possible and go with the flow , I am pretty much set in my ways for the fact that I am older now and don’t want to start over with having kids , my kids are pretty much going
To be on their own soon so I can’t see myself starting over , Most girls want babies for them to settle down , and I honestly don’t want that , I want to travel and go places I never been , spoil myself for once and yes it be nice to have someone as well so we can spoil each other. So I still try and put myself out there somewhat I just don’t put myself out there a hundred percent cuz at times I feel like it’s a waste of time , one thing I learned in life is you can’t force someone to love you you can only guide someone to love you , most people get into relationships acting like they own the person and they need to do what they say , being manipulative and controlling , that’s not love

Meh. Not exactly. I’m ready to find a woman, get married, and have a bunch of babies. I’m starting to get older and I have to get a move on it. I’ve just been moving every year or two for the past 6 years so haven’t had the opportunity to find someone. After my next move I’ll start looking.
Besides that though I’m good with it. I’m not depressed or anything. I just know that if I want to have kids and all I have to get a move on it.

Yeah of course! Been happily single for over 10 years now-

I'm happy single because I realize you can't be happy in a relationship if you're not happy with yourself. So I'm working on improving myself first and foremost (physically, mentally, and emotionally), and enjoying life in the meantime.

As bad as it sounds, I'm happier and have less drama when I'm single, than when I try to pursue relationships or date.

I think I’m better off single because I have not established my career yet and I do not have my own place either. I was willing to have a digital relationship with a guy but the guy I liked has not responded to my request to be a digital boyfriend and girlfriend. We met in real life and flirted for a few months before CoVid.

PaynefulPleasures · Answer

Yes I'm happy to be single it's given me time to except, reflect, clean up, put things into proper perspective. That way just in case, if ever, no I'm not looking, that I enter a new relationship with less baggage. I chose to work on myself so that my next journey will be a healthy one✌️

lakotabebebe · Answer

Sometimes. Though, I find myself really wanting to love someone again. It's hard after I was cheated on and abused and it feels safer to stay single, but I still want a guy who I can love on, care for, and just give affection to. Someone I can have a bond with, you know?

JSmuve · Answer

Yes. A lot of women are needy and drama-filled. I prefer not having to deal with the headache and emotional roller coaster of being a grown woman's entertainment and sounding board for her histrionics. Having my own space, being able to do what I want without considering anyone else, and not having to dote on someone is pretty liberating.

RickDavis766 · Answer

It's a different kind of happy. I'm very satisfied in a relationship, but being single is much easier.

Nikola321 · Answer

Well tbh, I've always been single :D
Ofc I think I would enjoy a relationship and it'd make me happy, at least in the beggining, but I have a feeling it'd "bore me out", cuz relationship requires u to give much time to the girl.
Tbh, I am not sad being single, I am not lonely cuz I have lots of friends, and I do need some time alone tbh, so I'm not sure if I could even afford that if I had a girlfriend :D

Katebfun · Answer

Yes and no, been single almost 5 years now.. I've never experienced a healthy, loyal, loving union so being in bad/toxic relationship is way worse than being single. Being single can be lonely a lot of times but it's also less stress and your insecurities are not triggered as much. Relationships take a lot of work.. I still have hope that I'll meet my forever person and build a life together.

Libbers · Answer

For the most part yes. For the longest time I wanted it and needed it but I think now I want to start dating and see what’s out there. I have been talking to a few people so never know where it goes.

yourbabygirl921 · Answer

I'm happy being single I can do whatever I want without having to worry about a partner and just met new people

Anon621 · Answer

The most important thing in my personal life is being alive so I am glad I am still alive even if I do not have a romantic partner to share that joy with.

FatherJack · Answer

Yes by far , and staying single. Do not entertain even the thought of " dating " , far prefer own company , dad of 2 teens that do their own thing now. Also , from a woman's POV , why would she pick a single dad , when there are several times more available men than women?

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I do wonder about it a bit, but so far I'd say I'm happy, because I can't miss what I've never had and it's easy to think the grass is greener on the other side when you've never tried it before and it appeals to you, just like with anything.

serious · Answer

Yes of course. I have always been single and I wish to remain single for life. I am 100% happy being single and I have no regrets.

stormiigrl · Answer

Sometimes i miss being in a relationship but i find todays dating is 10x different than 20-30 years ago dating. Most just want friends with benefits. Hardly no one today wants someone geniune sigh

Qdbrown · Answer

I am happy. I use to prefer a partner. Had some long-term relations and even divorced now. I can say much better to be single and lonely than attached and isolated.

Dchrls78104 · Answer

My country is being overrun by the coronavirus. If things continue as they are for too long, choice and feelings may not matter...

McKellar · Answer

To a point,... yes. Happy to be single that I never wish to date again, & I wish to die alone with no significant other,... no.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Yes, I am. I was miserable when I was in a relationship because it was a toxic one, so I learned then that being with someone doesn't necessarily means happiness.

HawkPerception · Answer

I am not. All it takes is one good partner to make you absolutely hate being alone.

Alpha09 · Answer

Yes, this is the happiest I've ever been.

JCT666 · Answer

Wouldn't say that I'm neither happier or unhappy being single, but it's a hell of lot less stressful.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Some days, yes then other days no. When you're single you desire a relationship, then when you have the relationship you wanna be single again.

No, I am not happy being single but I have not recently met a guy I liked enough that I want to date

Anonymous · Answer

Not really. I hate ONS because they feel so empty and meaningless and I’m addicted to cuddling and getting consistent pussy so a relationship is really my only option unfortunately.
