Being single can seem like the worst thing in the world. You may feel that it is the worst thing in the world because you are alone and you see their friends with their boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife or maybe even a stranger on the street having what seems to be the time of their lives. But is being single as bad as people make it seem? I don't think that it is that bad. There are so many things that single people can do that married people or dating couples can't do.

Single people have the choice to go out on a date every single night with a different girl or guy where as married or dating couples can't do that because it would be a form of cheating. Single people can also go out when they want and come and go as they please they don't have to answer to nobody about their actions or where they were.

While being single you should do some of the following you should go some where that you have always wanted to go by your self and do something that you always wanted to do but couldn't because of the fact that you had a partner. Even if all you wanted to do was go to a strip club but felt that was a form of cheating. Now that you are single you are able to. You are also able to get all of your old friends of the opposite sex back that your partner made you get rid of for fear that you would leave them for them.

While being single you should take chances for example instead of eating at the same restaurant all the time where you see the same people you should go some where nice. You should go out to eat by your self and celebrate your singleness. You should go out to eat at a local or out of town steak house where you can celebrate your singleness and possibly meet some one new who is out doing the same thing.

You should also get use to being alone. If you hate being by your self then you may find your self always getting into dead end relationships that end the same way where you are only with them because you are afraid to be single. You should always remember that in the end of every relationship one thing stays the same you are still you and being single isn't that bad you don't need somebody else to make you happy all you need is yourself.

It's nothing wrong with being single. Of course you're going to feel lonely from time to time. That's why it's so important to take care of yourself and have a social life. And I agree that marriage or a relationship is not the answer to happiness. It only comes with more problems and responsibilities. But it's worth it when the right person comes along.

This is the medication the doctor ordered. I needed this great piece of literature. I already knew in my heart that being single is wonderful. As the old saying goes, "You hit the nail right on the head." I don't feel like I have dead weight or always trying to defend or prove yourself to your significant other all the damn time. Don't get me wrong I don't down marriage or commited relationships. It's wonderful if you are blessed to find the once in a lifetime true love or your soulmate for life. But I have come to the realization that God has me single for a reason. To delight myself in him and his word and his ways. To be a true single christian. Thanks again for this wonderful...wonderful article. I needed it.

I agree. Marriage will not always secure your happiness. I was happy before I was married. And, although being married was not all bad. I am happier and my life is much more peaceful, now that it is over. If you are single, enjoy it. The right person will come around one day.

I'm married and love it, but of course, I'm convinced I have the world's best husband. As cliche as it sounds, my spouse is my best friend. If I didn't have him, I might be forced to socialize, and fortunately for both of us, his social network is very large although he doesn't have any "best buddies." I've found that what many single people view about having a spouse/significant other is the same way I feel about friendships. I've found friendships to be too time consuming, annoying, etc. yet I absolutely love spending time with my spouse. I do make joint decisions with my spouse obviously, but I am a completely free woman, and a lot of that is because my husband has zero self esteem issues. The flip side of being that carefree is that I could go missing, and it would probably take him 24 hours to start to worry.
