Singles: do you feel having a relationship would better your life?

[Slim57]

Yes

Not really

Only if I’m with the right guy, I’m extremely adamant about receiving high quality treatment from a super nice guy and I won’t date a bad tempered guy just for the sake of being with somebody I find attractive or rich or just to start a family earlier, I’m waiting for the right person.

It kind of depends on how the friendship or relationship between two people goes. To be honest there's a lot of people out there who prefers to be in a relationship because being lonely sucks. It's also hard to get into a relationship with someone without actually trying to get to know them first. But in my opinion I don't think it's a good idea to be in a relationship because some people don't even want a relationship after having passed break up with other boyfriends and girlfriends. Like a wise person said: if your first relationship didn't work the last 10 times why would it work again with someone else and the next and the next and the next person.

I voted for not really. Why you may have not have asked? Well I'll tell you anyway and to the point. I'm in not fit state right now to date and even if I was, I feel like deep down I'm happy to be destined living the bachelor lifestyle. You know. Family keep me on my toes so there's always them I have for company and I always will. It just seems like fate and like my fate.

And I'm cool with it 😎 doesn't mean I don't dream sometimes of what-could-have-been. As would anyone. But I'm fine. I just relieve myself when I have to in the shower and life carries on for me no drama's 😋

As others have mentioned. The right person might make a relationship better my life because of a lot of different reasons. But if it's the wrong person it can ruin everything and even set you back in life.

But right now I don't want to be in a relationship.

[zeitgeist057]

In general: Yeah
Right now: Not really

I don't have the extra time and energy for a relationship at the moment. There are 24 hours in a day, subtract 8 for sleep and that gives you 16. I work 16 hour shifts 3-4 days every week, and 8 hour shifts the rest of the week. Plus I go to school full time, and the only way I'm swinging that is on the overnight shifts that I do, I get all the tasks done and have a few hours to study and complete assignments. So I'm doing double time on my overnight overtime. Any relationship other than a NSA/friends with benefits would be doomed and even an NSA relationship I don't have time to find or maintain.

In general, though, I was thinking about this just last night how completely amazing it is to be in love and focused on someone else. It's probably the thing in life I enjoy the most out of everything I've tried (and I've done a lot).

I've never felt more loved or respected than in my current relationship. We've had some hiccups but each time we came out stronger for it. My girlfriend and I are both non-judgemental people and we are very caring and understanding of each other's needs. And both of us have made sacrifices for the other to make our relationship a happy and healthy one. I can't ask for more than the gal I'm with. I've been with a few women in my time but no one has taken the time to understand how I tick more than her and she listens! She listens to my concerns, what future I want for myself and her and we're on the same page! I've never felt so much relief from my anxiety or depression ever in my life!

[BlueWalker]

Absolutely. I want someone to dedicate my life to, and to laugh and grow old with. To share my life's experiences and create memories with. To have someone to love and care for, other than just myself. For me, it feeds the soul. It sucks being single. Hopefully one day I'll find my soulmate. ☺️

What people don't realize is that relationships will not make them happy.

Bringing unhappiness into a relationship can lead to toxic behavior like clinginess, jealousy, manipulation, etc.

But if two people are happy and secure with themselves, then being together can be a beautiful thing.

You need to love yourself before you can love others.

[redpanda_]

Not to copy what others have probably said but I'd rather be single than with an awful person!
When I'm in a relationship I tend to be a bit more proactive and enthusiastic about stuff - I find that very hard when I'm single.

[Oigit]

For me it wouldn't. Because my focus is else where in life. Attempting to focus my efforts on a relationship would ensure I'd still have a miles long todo list that would never be cleared off.

[dustybiker]

A healthy relationship? Or just someone in a general relationship because they can’t handle being alone? Two very different head spaces. One healthy, the other not so much.

[Flower7]

No, it would probably make things worse. Relationships bring a lot of stress.

[whirled_up_girl]

Like others have already said only if it's the right person and we are both at the right point in our lives for it to work.

[MCheetah]

If it's with the right person, then yes, definitely. But there's probably not a woman on this planet that would think of me as "her one."

[TheFlak38]

if I wasn't single I wouldn't have achieved a career change years ago and I wouldn't be in the position I am today, going to work every morning with a smile on my face. All a woman does is drag you down and leech off you

[Anonymous]

Not really. I feel like from my situation “bettering” my life would have to be by accomplishing my most desired goals. I don’t like being saved by someone. I want to save myself.

[serious]

Of course not. NO. I only wish to remain single for life.

[kitty71]

Possible and possible if the guy I had the hots on would be still alive I would thing it be better for me

[Justneedtokno]

Partially I just want to share with someone my bed my adventures my life

[Anonymous]

Yeah, because I would not choose to be in a relationship if it did not.. because it takes effort and time and it should sure be worth it.

[DiegoO]

How would a romantic relationship better someones life? It never does. That assumption that it betters it, it's only an ilusion.

[Neosporin]

I mostly just want to have sex. Companionship would be a nice plus on top of that.

[Dude_777]

Probably not. It would take away all the joy and freedom of my life!.

[MelissaMarie9614]

Yes! Absolutely! When I find the right man of course.❤❤❤
