How many of you are satisfied with being single. I know I am!

Oh cool! I like being single.
It was a difficult adjustment period but I’m starting to dig it. I get hit on at work and I’m like,“oh yeah, I’m single!”
I like being single. I’m a 57 year old male, and I plan to live out the rest of my life alone.
There are some really cool aspects with being by yourself. You can play any kind of music you want to, make any type of food you want to, sleep any hours you want to, and not feel like someone is watching you all the time. It’s not really all bad other than the fear that if you are in a medical emergency no one can call 911 for you or help you in a crisis. It would also suck to break a bone if I were alone. But while I’m physically healthy it’s OK.
It’s alright… I’m still enjoying how peaceful and straightforward my life is now. No opposing demands to live up to…
I like being single. Freedom is the best
it’s tough… I got sick right in the prime time of meeting people… 20 - 23… during that sickness I assumed if I did start getting better I’d just go back to that… which is what 2015 was for me… trying to get back out there.
No I realize that truly stable people do actually get over this need to be with someone.
So I’m still somewhere in the juncture between the two. I’ve always respected those who could be alone, vs the other type… honestly though its the girl I’m most interested in that has really opened my eyes to what that mentality is like. I can’t tell if I’m ever on her mind, but she is totally supportive and encouraging and wants a friendship.
She might be interested in more than that… but not right now.
So it gives me a chance to kind of ponder on the nature of these things from a different angle than I’ve had before.
Anyways… another honest statement… no… no I’m satisfied being alone. I want to be… I wouldn’t just want a relationship with anyone… things are just complicated right now.
but to hell with valentine… stupid holiday waste of money… why does everyone do it at the same time crap…
You love someone? You’re gonna be giving them gifts every time a good appropriate one crops up.
I just read a facebook post about how St Valentine was decapitated in Feb 14th 207

hmmm and then cupid came down and started arranging marriages…
Then hersheys decided to cash in… as well as about every other jeweler and candy manufacturer… they even organize parties in grade schools to get people suckered in while they are young…
man ■■■■traditionalism…
cool story though… I didn’t realize st. Valentine was a jesus.
This sort of commercialization > socialization > normalization > unconscious acceptance of pseudo-tradition has been going on for thousands of years.
An interesting sidebar to this is Otto von Bismarck’s “new public education” program that began in Germany in the 1870s. von B. was mainly interested in educating school children in math and engineering to provide the skilled technicians who would, by the 1900s, turn Germany from an essentially agricultural economy into an essentially industrial one.
What he – and his devotees in other countries including the US – didn’t see coming was that public education (of very much the same style as that still predominant in the US) would quickly be co-opted, contaminated and corrupted by ostensibly benign, commercial “sponsors” and contributors.
It’s a story one hears about in modern sociology classes.

Being single is awesome. But then I have other convictions about being in a relationship that probably aren’t healthy and helps fuel my avoidance of them.
I like being single right now. I feel motivated to be a better person and take the time I need to heal and learn from the past.
I am happy being single.
Saying that I am not even remotely dependable enough to maintain a romantic relationship. Is a goodbye thing I am ok being single. I do get lonely though - but would prefer to get a roommate than a partner.
I was single for 13 years before deciding I wanted to try to find a partner. I found someone, dated for six-seven years and now we’re married. Both have pros and cons. I think being single was easier in a lot of ways.
I love being single!
Don’t want another relationship, it tires me out too much
