SINGLE AND PROUD!

I have been in a serious relationship before and it was wonderful bc it was with the RIGHT person- so I am holding out until the next right person comes along....and until then, I am enjoying every minute of it!!

I know so many people who are just with someone to be with someone- and they're not entirely happy. That's not worth it to me. I rather be happy and hang out/party with my girls then to be in a half-assed relationship.

When I was in college, I said that I was single and loving it, but looking!

The only people that I know who want to be single are the people that are married. Everyone that I know who is single is trying to get married.

Like they say, "the grass is always greener".

I have to say that I'm pretty darn proud that I'm single. So many people I know are engaged and everyone looks at them and see's how poor their relationships are and how they SHOULDN'T be together (I'm sure people thought that about me when I was engaged). But I'm proud to say I'm single, and that I support myself. I've gained more knowledge and self-confidence by doing it this way!

It'll be the end of the world before I decide to settle down again. All my friends have known me as being single.

I am single and want to be for a VERY LONG time. I need to work on loving myself before I can truely love someone the way I want to love them. I have to say that a relationship just takes too much time and effort. I guess I want a relationship where I don't HAVE to work on it. My friend gave me really good advice "If it works, it works...if not, hell with it!" So, I'm basically taking that approach to men right now.

Being with someone just makes you more vulnerable to heartache and let downs. It sucks...

*raises hand* Single here and tired of settling, so I guess I'm proud of that!

Nah, it's cool having a boyfriend, but I haven't yet come across anyone I like enough after Ex-AchtungBoy so it's OK being unattached right now.

I've been single for a few months and I'm loving it. After being in a long relationship (which was good most of the time) the change is really nice. I don't know if proud really fits, but comfortable does.

I'm single and I have no shame. I'm an independent, strong woman and I'm happy within myself. Because of that, I don't feel the need to be looking for someone to be with (a lot of guys I know can't handle and ind woman anyway). If someone comes along, I won't turn him away, but my life is great ... I couldn't ask for more ... a boyfriend would be icing on my cake.

I'm looking but at the rate its going I think I may be single forever!

That's great that everyone has such positive attitudes about being single!

I haven't been so for a really long time, but I wasn't aching for a boyfriend the way that some of my single friends were (and getting in terrible relationships in order to avoid being alone).

I'm single and looking...however I won't settle for just anyone.

Its been my experience that if you're looking the right type don't come your way. All the good chicks in my life have came in when I was least expecting it.

This is very true! My mom always told me that I'd find a guy when I wasn't looking for one. I never really believed here until I tried the whole not caring whether I found someone or not thing. And it works!!! So now if I catch myself getting really caught up in "oh does he like me, i really like him, why isn't he calling, blah blah blah" I remind myself to chill out, not worry about it, and things will work themselves out. Easier said than done, I know, but once you can do this, things get much easier!

I'm single and looking, but i wont settle for just anyone either. I have a LONG list of standards

I'm becoming more of the opinion as my days go by here in this city, that the men here generally suck, and i wont find a good one till I move out of the area (hopefully in 3 years).
