Re: Single life - Is it hardier or easier to be single?

I feel that im better off single, i dont think about sex and when i do i eat my favourite ice cream to comfort me. I havnt had sex for like over a year and a half and i dont plan on having any until im in a relationship. When i meet someone they have to wait till im ready (6-8 months).

I can cope with being single, i have been coping for 1 1/2 years. Alot of guys want to date me but im not interested because they dont have the qualities im looking for, i promise myself that i wont ever make the sam mistake twice.

Sometimes i do get lonely but i learn to live with it

Re: Single life - Is it hardier or easier to be single?

At this very moment that im writing this post i feel really really lonely, i would love to go to the clubbing but all my friends are busy with their boyfriends, so i dont have any company to go clubbing with anymore.

But i turn to the net and ETJ site have me occupied so that i dont think about be loneliness and make myself depressed, i do things to occupy my time by going to the gym, shopping and ocassional walking or jogging.

Re: Single life - Is it hardier or easier to be single?

Hmmm... I think it's very difficult to be single these days. We're bombarded with all the messages about sex and relationships in the media and elsewhere. So many people just feel pressured into being in a relationship to the point that when they are not, they are miserable. They've been conditioned to think that in order for them to be happy, or to be normal, they have to be in a relationship. If you're talking about being single and remaining celebate and happy, then that's a whole other set of hardships. However, being single means less self sacrifice and responsibility only for yourself, so I think it's easier than being in a relationship.

The thing is, what kind of relationship are we thinking about? Girlfriend-boyfriend? Marriage? Pay-for-play? I think the toughest relationship to have these days is the traditional old time "For better or for worse" marriage. The other kinds have incorporated various "exit clauses" and loopholes that have reduced the amount of sacrifice and hard work that used to be a part of intimate relationships. Staying married, faithful and happy seems to be the biggest challenge out there these days. Divorce statistics are pointing to that. The fact that in a committed relationship you have to put your needs aside many times to meet the needs of the union/family/couple makes it much tougher than being on your own.

Re: Single life - Is it hardier or easier to be single?

It has advantages and disadvantages . Yeah it's nice to be your own boss and come and go as you please, without having to worry about what the other persons feels. But on the other hand it's nice to have someone who's there for you emotionally and physically.
It's also down to the individual

Sugar Plum you know that we all make mistakes, but we learn and move on. It is never the end of the world just because of one bad mistake or broken heart.

Re: Single life - Is it hardier or easier to be single?

I would be happy if i didnt lost my virginity (that was my gem)

i wish i wanted until i was married, because if i wanted it means that i would still be a virgin now because im not married yet.

lol lol Tell him PLUM lol

I am in similar situation but I haven't reached 7 months yet... soon though I have no intentions of getting in a realtionship at the moment!

On whole though a relationship situation is better in my opinion. I like being in love personally, and I like being with a man for EVERY reason there is to love it!

BUT

I think being single is better when you are YOUNG though because in life you have goals and dreams to accomplish and in my experience.... When you are focused on making a relationship work sometimes you loose sight of lifes priorities and you're focused on the other person! So I think for the meantime it's in my best interests to be single.
