I've pretty much always been single myself, outside of course, of some relationships, and I have to admit, it's just easier (emotionally anyway) being single.
None of those darn worries, no questions, no upsets, etc.
Maybe if the person was truly "right", it wouldn't seem like such work. Maybe if the other person was in it just as much as you are it would feel nicer, but I've yet to come accross that too much. I like being single, but the other side of me likes being wanted by someone else... It's only human.
The best thing I've found lately is my dog Louie, now there is a man who never lets you down, always there with kisses, and is always happy to be with you!!! LOL

I have been single for a few years now. I find that the more time I spend getting to know myself, the less need I feel for a partner. Ironically, I find that I can enjoy a man's company much more than I used to because I don't feel all the pressure for him to be "the one". This type of independence seems to be more attractive to men, too.
Also, I think, as others have stated, that having peace in my life makes me much less prone to accept drama with another person. It sets a higher standard for how I want my relationships to be and how I want to be treated. If a guy can contribute to my life in a positive way, great! If not, I lose interest. It's kind of a relief not to be so needy like I was when I was younger, expecting my boyfriend to fulfill all my needs.
