Absolutely, it's not a big deal. It's much better to be single and do as you please, have your hobbies, save a lot of money, work out, study for your future, enjoy the park with your pet, etc... than to come home to a relationshit of pure misery each day just so you can say you have a significant other to fulfill something abstract.

You're already a whole person, needing another to "complete" you is overrated. Having someone else in your life is nice, but not necessary. Like yourself first, start with that.

Mmmmm. I've been single for a long time. Like, I've had flings and some casual dating but no real "relationship" for like 10 years. I grew used to it, and it's still pretty comfortable, but maybe I guess because I'm getting old discontent is building. So. I was single and happy. Now I'm single and discontent.

I always believed that marriage was a fool's errand, especially with a 60% divorce rate. But a Harvard psychologist made me think twice, too. Apparently married people are happier than single people. Who would have known? I guess it makes sense, because even if you don't even like each other much, and even if you have a lot of problems, at least you're in it with someone.

give it 10 years, you will know a number of single and happy people

after all the bad relationships, divorces, baby mamas and dead beat dad dramas of your 20s

Happy people are happy regardless of their relationship status; the same can be said about the miserable.

I'm between relationships at the moment and I'm happier than when I was "taken". It really depends on the individual and how satisfied they are with their lives.
