Being single in a couple's world..?

Question

It seems like everyone my age (mid-20's) is looking for a serious relationship leading to marriage. I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't think that getting married is something I need to do. Are there any other people who are just satisfied with being single?

Answer 1

i was fine with being single and if my bf and i break up i'll be fine with being single. i'd like to get married someday but there is no rush to it. i am happy with my current relationship though and enjoy being with my boyfriend. The thing is though that as you grow up and your friends start getting married you'll be like the 3rd wheel ya know... cause you start doing things as couples....

Answer 2

There is always someone that will prefer being single as there are people that like to have a couples life. Of course, there are more of 1 than the other but you should do whatever makes you feel right.

If you don't want to get married NEVER than don't. No ones putting a knife on your throat to do it, that's the beauty of being whatever you feel like in this life, the freedom.

I wish I was like you enjoying being single and all, but there's just something inside of me that just wants someone to spent time with..

Answer 3

yes!

anyways it is better to get married in your late 20's or

30, 31 so you will be smarter and not make dumb mistakes and go

off and marry someone and divorce.

have fun being single and flirty now

Answer 4

I ain't

Answer 5

I am 28, female, single, and totally fine. It's all about how you feel about yourself. There's nothing wrong with being single and happy. More and more people are choosing not to get married and not to have kids in the industrialized nations, or are getting married much later than previous generations, so you are totally normal. Waiting to get married or not getting married frees you up to get more education, travel the world, and have more of your own money to spend on yourself. The divorce rate is high, so it's not as if the married folk have anything "over" you. There are people, both single and married, who are happy - and vice versa for sad.  Having all married friends while you are still single does alter the friendships a bit, because they start behaving differently or thinking differently due to their married status, but that's just part of life.  There have been studies that suggest that people who stay single and don't have kids are on average happier than married people with kids, too - although you can also find studies that say just the opposite if you look for them:

In the end, it's how you feel about your own life, and no one else's opinions count.
