It may not be a warm body in bed, but it can be a comforting heart than can sometimes give you more than the heaviest passion could ever satisfy. Isn't that what it's all about anyway?
That is beautifully put, Tattat! Bravo! 
But there sure are merits to a warm body in bed.................. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:07:15 PM | Im single and Have been since May 13th 05 ,although I hate being a lone and never really having someone to do things with or enjoying someones company, Im okay with just meeting new people and making new friends when I can , Most of time Im working anyway, Im not desperate to have someone in my life, but it would be nice to eventually find someone special to share good times with... and if I dont find someone well then I,ll be okay and make the best of my life that I can | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:39:10 PM | When I was younger, my biggest fear was growing old alone. It's no longer a fear of mine. I have learned a lot while being on my own. Some of the things I've learned were things I could have lived without learning (how to mud drywall or patch old plaster come to mind, lol).
I would still have my family and my friends. Yeah, I could still be happy. I am sure it would get to me now and then, but I've always said the best thing to do for yourself is to do something for someone else. There's a lot of happiness that goes along with that too, a lot of contentment, bringing smiles to someone else.

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:49:47 PM | | I would not be happy...and I don't think I could cope. I'm a relationship-orientated person. I love having a partner to share your dreams, goals, and life with. To have some sort of epipheny that I would always be single would probably throw me into the hallows of serious depression, not because I CAN'T survive on my own, but because I have no interest whatsoever in doing that. | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 8:52:33 PM | As opposed to being in a long term relationship and lonely....I'll take single and occasionally lonesome any day of the week.....PS..... | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 9:24:17 PM | I am very independant minded person and I would rather be single than in a bad relationship. It is part of why I am so fussy and finnicky about those I might allow close to me for a relationship. Also when I take those tests, like the Meyers Briggs, I come out as X -- Perfectly balanced between being an introvert and an extrovert, meaning I can enjoy time with people just as much as I can enjoy time with myself.
I have, too. One of my dreams was to spend a year out in the woods, a cabin, and I spent nine months there all alone. I had one of the best times every in my life! I became superfit and superhappy until some redneck shot my dog and I decided to return to "civilization" because being around there and that memory hurt me too much.
I'm on my own path, the path less travelled. | |

Would you be able to cope with it and still be happy? How would you cope with it?
Lemme answer with two questions: Is there still porn available, and do I still have use of my hands? | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 10:30:25 PM | | Intimate relationships, be it physical or otherwise, are one of life's greatest passions, but they're not everything to everybody. If I had this burdon invoked on me, I suppose I would find other things to do. Something like volunteer work, or running a business, planting a garden. The possibilities are unlimited. Lots of people live this way by choice and are quite content, if not less distracted than the rest of us who choose to pursue a mate. Not sure why I answered this hypothetical question. I suppose it's because I don't have have a significant other, thus, more free time on my hands :-) | |

Posted: 3/13/2007 10:36:18 PM | If I knew today that something would keep me single forever at this point.. I'd be VERY happy with it... relationships as far as I'm concerned just aren't worth the stress.
At the end of next month I'll have been single for a year which may not sound like a very long time but for an 18 year old it is. It's not even just that I don't want to take the chance of being hurt.. it's the fact that there's so much drama in relationships and I'm always more depressed than when I'm single. Now on the other hand if it meant I could never be physical with anyone... I would not survive ... there's no way I'd just pay someone off to shoot me ... because never having sex or cuddling or anything like that is definitely the worst thing that could happen to me.
If for the rest of my life I could have good male friends, and someone to satisfy my physical needs but remain single.. I'd be doing good... at least for now anyways. | |

"Stuck" being single? 'Scooze me, change that thinking right quick.
We're born single, we die single. Single is a natural state of life. How weird to think one is "stuck" in life unless one is hooked up.
i used the word 'stuck' to illustrate that it couldnt be changed in this hypothetical example. i suppose the connotation is a little negative though. maybe i could have used a different word. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 2:39:57 AM | There's something which doesn't make sense about all these single people who can't seem to get it together with anyone.
I think a lot of people suffer from the syndrom of thinking they should have a relationship when in fact it really isn't all that important to them. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 4:08:43 AM | | To be quite honest we would have no other choice but to cope with the situation. Hopefully life will give me some compensation, such as i really chase my career and i am good at it, so i can be able to get at least a few material things that will make me happy. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 5:24:36 AM | I could cope with it. I have Mr Purple to see me through the frustrating times, and I don't have to listen to him whinge, I simply put him back in the drawer. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 7:26:18 AM | I have read through all the posts. Of course if we had no choice in the matter we would have to deal with it and becomes as happy as we can.
But so many people are saying they would rather CHOOSE to be single. I really find that hard to believe.
You people mean to tell me that the little irritating things as him/her leaving their clothes all over the house, him/her leaving dishes in the sink, him/her hogging the remote, him/her not helping out as much around the house...etc are the deciding factors for you to choose to be single for the rest of your life?
I've always felt happy with myself, but I know I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life.
I have tears in my eyes after reading this I now feel like there are not any men that want to find someone to share happiness with, to know that you have found the one person that you can love and loves you back.
Don't any of you want love anymore or have you all become stone cold? | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 7:37:35 AM | | It's not stone cold, it's realistic. After having fallen in love, been in love and then ejected from that love and told why, it just makes sense to accept one's ineligibility for love. The impulse to try again with someone new is only good for a couple more rounds and then it dawns on you that either something in your own character prevents love or else women are just fickle creatures who dream of romance generally but dislike actual individual men as people. I look at it like any other experience where the recruiting posters are way different than the stories told by veterans. | |

Posted: 3/14/2007 7:43:37 AM | Surely being single and happy is better than to be with a BTN better than nothing .....partner ......come on where has everyones self respect gone?
You need to be happy in yourself before you could be happy with a partner.
Men are alot colder than women. Men can hide their feelings, in general women dont.
I have male friends and when I listen to them it frightens me. There are 2 of then who have a heart tho they were so hurt in the past they wont let go again and to be honest I dont think they will ever love again. They say about woman what we say about men.
Id prefer to be single and happy than with someone and miserable.....id 12 years of that in my marriage
Single life is what you make it...yes it is lonely and yes we all miss the tlc, cuddles and kisses......hey whats for you doesnt go past you...enjoy life and what it throws at you for tomorrow may never come
