Posted: 10/6/2008 1:51:49 PM | | I agree D.J....altho, I'd rather stay single , than to just settle for the sake of "not" being single...I'm not the type to use or mislead men out of boredom or whatever either. | |

Posted: 10/6/2008 2:47:16 PM | Having cereal for supper if that's all you feel like having... reading a good book, uninterrupted... watching whatever movies appeal to you... answering to no-one but yourself...
OK, I guess you could probably do those things even if you're with someone, but basically, I guess the best thing is having no-one to answer to and getting to do whatever you feel like doing at any given moment.
Of course, there are bad things about being single as well... but that's another thread.  | |

Posted: 10/6/2008 3:09:02 PM | yes poetryi.m....ppl can still do those things if they chose...its all about compromising if one needs their space at times...
ppl are suppose to be compatible for each-other, not identical...how boring that would be if we all liked the same, no room to grow and learn new things...and besides... we'd have nothing to **** about lol J/K
I do get what you're saying tho...cuz I really, really, really have to like someone before I share my remote control. | |

Posted: 10/6/2008 6:40:12 PM | Being able to eyeball random girls and do some playful flirting. I suppose that'll lose its fun with a little age.
Having more spending money.
Not having to answer to some girl anytime I want some alone time on a friday/saturday night.
Maybe I've just been in some bad relationships.  Oh well, chalk it up to experience. | |

Posted: 10/6/2008 7:33:58 PM | labelle, lol...flirting doesn't go out with age...bite your tongue
re: not having to answer to "some" girl...no you shouldn't...obviously they weren't "your" girl...when you find "the" girl...you won't want your "alone" time (boys night) on fri. or sat nights...that perhaps, is the thing realized with "a little age" and maturity when one is ready to settle down
ppl who play together, stay together! | |

Posted: 10/7/2008 5:12:56 PM | | C'mon now, divine. Being twice my age doesn't mean you should talk down to me. Last time I had a "boy's night" was for graduation, it's not like I spend every saturday at the dome. I am ready to settle down. And I will ALWAYS value my alone time, even if I find the perfect girl...because she would be able to accept that. :P | |

Posted: 10/8/2008 7:46:13 AM | labelle...sorry you took it as me talking down to you...perhaps I assumed , my bad...you're not among the typical then for your age... congrats
and yes...the perfect girl for you would except that...just be straight up from the start, and all will be fine...compromise and compatibility, is hard to find
all the best | |

Divine, you didnt talk down to him at all

Posted: 10/8/2008 5:11:32 PM | One could say that she did call him immature because of his age and the assumption that his alone time is a night out with the boys.
The rest of it would be no reason to be offended.  | |

Being able to eat when you want instead of waiting for her
Being able to actually sleep without "cuddling" for 3 hours
With the exception of: "Not having to explain where youve been all afternoon"
I suspect most men in love, have no issue with the rest
- Watching a movie with someone (no matter how stupid) is better than watching 1 alone
- Snotty kid- pretty rude since everyone with a cold gets snotty
- I miss having a man to cook for & I bet a lot of men miss having a woman cooking for them
- And I bet just about all people miss cuddling
That big ol bed looks awfully big & empty most nights | |

I actually often sleep on the couch- for that very reason
Equally depressing
and as far as the dog- I live in an apt. and unless a dog is little like yours, you shouldnt have a dog in an apt
And well you know how I feel about cats.....I mean little dogs  | |

Posted: 10/14/2008 4:02:36 PM | You know. Each person has there own point of view of what they like about being single. However, I guess it's just natural for some people to tear them apart on their views. For some people to try to qualify the others person opinion on assumptions, remember you're not walking in their shoes, is well, asinine! But that's what makes you girls feel better because some guy seems to have had issues with past relationships it must be your duty to disagree with him.
I wish bubbleboy would come back because this backs up a lot of his points!!!!
If I wanted too, I could tear apart a lot of what people have said here, but I won't because it's based on their experiences, NOT mine!!!!
As a lot of people say to me...Now I know why you are single!!!!! | |

Posted: 10/14/2008 9:00:52 PM | Yes, divine, I'm well aware of what these forums are about. No need to keep reminding us.
Review previous posts to see the tearing apart. Someone says what is the best thing about being single is to them and people have to deride them for it???
And like you said.....everyone has their own individual opinion...wouldn't you want your opinion respected??
And with a little effort you will find there is a "Worst things about being single" thread. Comment there. | |

I think it depends on how you look at it. That's kind of like asking, is the glass half full or half empty -- it's all a matter of perspective.
Being single again has enabled me to catch-up with a lot of old friends, which I might not have had as much time to do, if I was still in a relationship. I feel this is something positive.

There are good things about being single and there are some bad things. I don't think stating your reasons for either or is an indication of the type of person you are.

Posted: 10/15/2008 9:43:55 AM | | It seem to me what most people think is the best thing about being single seems to be avoiding the controlling and (what they find now) objectionable behaviours of a companion. Clearly some are talking about actual prior relationships. Yet, those were the companions you chose in the past? Is it possible, that even though you intellectualize it as something you don't like, that in actual fact many of those things are what make you actually feel loved? | |
