I Am Single

No harm in being single. It is a status, but there is so much stigma attached to it. I'm perpetually single and I have survived. The most important aspect is making a wise choice. Being with the wrong person is worse than singlehood.

Never settle! In my opinion, if you settle that means you are compromising yourself and what you're looking for in a partner. I know it can be tough. I have spent many nights alone wanting to have someone to be there to talk, touch, kiss... etc etc etc. But at what cost? I settled way too many times and ended up compromising who I was, what I believed in and ended up giving way to much of myself to people who didn't appreciate it. Don't get me wrong, we all have to compromise in any type of relationship. But when you find someone who has the same goals and aspirations in their life as you do it will be worth it because you will be working together to achieve them. For what it's worth, that is my two cents.

I agree with that statement also MellyMel22. :$

@KINGKYRIE very good advice,,, which i have taken! Dont you have that one female friend whom you call on to talk to or watch games with or ask advice about other women? Yeah Im that girl! LOL!

yeah i know it cant be forced but 10 years is a long time...

sometimes you just need a good friend

even it if is battery operated

never settle, you are too valuable to be short changed.

single gives you freedom..you can fly like a bird

I happen to agree with Lilmissassypants, she has great advice on not settling. Hang in there, and eventually you will find that person. hey, I need a woman to watch games with; what sports do you like? :$

Haha totally agree am sailing in the same boat , to be or not to be :) Life with a good partner can be a dream but .... get the drift ;)

Understood. I didn't settle, and now I have a great wife!

but its nice to fly with someone occasionally..

DarkLady - I am single (over a year now) for the first time in decades... and trying to figure out what that means. You have done it long enough to know, I suspect. Do you think some of it is "habit"? Really not ready/able to make the required compromises? I "worry" I might end up there!

sure with right guy

You deserve the best! Screw the rest Lol...

thanks

Ah... well. I appreciate that you have standards.. which is good. I would say just recognize that finding a perfect person is not possible... just in case that's the holdup.

@Darklady, lol, yeah I have, but I'm married already, but when I were single I might give it a try, you look good, sound smart, and are even probably a nice person, so don't be desperate! :)

I been single for 12 yrs, but love it. I don't date, I don't anything. I have friends, family, and 3 kids, so it's perfect for me.

I know the feeling. Perhaps if we meet on here some time, we might chat a bit?

Hey that's something you can't force, you just have to walk in it, in a way . Let the future surprise you :)

I was blessed... I was only single for about 1 1/2 years when my break up occurred.

Help luck a bit by visiting the right places, join a club, ore something like that!

right some days, who knows, Bo knows....!!😜

i have been single for some time but its not my choice

@curious, I would still be single though...

You have the right attitude

I agree and same here.

I love the single life!🙂

Sometimes I wish I was single

Yeah me too

When one looks around at those we know,and see their lives n their situation we sub consciously say na that’s not for me,rig rats everywhere n bills up to the roof, Being single has its merits

I cant speak for you. I just know that I havent really met anyone. i have a lot of married friends and hang with them a lot. Also, Im not willing to compromise on what/who i want. I want to date someone who is an equal. Someone who has their shit together who doesnt have baggage in the way of young children/baby mammas, has a good job and actually wants to commit and not just have sex...
