Happy being single?

[Discolt 53]

A simple question that I'd figured I'd ask everypony.

 

Are you currently single, and are you happy being single?

 

A difficult question for many, but at least I know I can say that, yes, I am single, and yes, I am quite content with it. Not to say that relationships don't work/they're all bad/women are bitches/they only go after jerks/etc, but it's just...

 

Relationships are a lot of work. They require time and effort, and as a person that does not enjoy long phone conversations and as an artist who cherishes his solitude, (this is the time when I think, write, create, imagine and draw, so I prize it quite a BIT) having a girlfriend seems like more than it's worth. Not to say that people out there don't have happy relationships; I'm sure plenty of you do.

 

Maybe it's that I'm not in a rush to go get another girlfriend like I see many of my friends doing. I don't "need" to have a girl, per say. There are many more important things in life, I think, but then again, maybe I'm crazy.

 

But enough of my drama. Are you happy being single, and if so, why? And if you're in a relationship, why is it just so much better than being single?

[Champion RD92 8,658]

yes, I actually like being single. The mater is I have seen how so many people around me have wasted that opportunity to be with someone and twisted it into something horrible.

[Crispy 5,563]

Single and not happy about it.

 

Not that it doesn't have it's advantages, but I'd much prefer to be in a relationship.

[Knight Shadrahk 159]

Single. Who needs girls?

 

 

 

 

Me. That's who.

[Discolt 53]

Single. Who needs girls?

 

 

 

 

Me. That's who.

 

Yes.

 

 

 

Hell no.

 

Wow. That surprises me that so many of you colts seem to need a special somepony in your lives. Maybe I really do represent a minority and maybe I AM crazy. O_o

[Kapi 215]

I'm single and happy about it!

 

TBH, there is a girl I like, but I don't think I'd want to get involved with anybody either...

[Killian Jones 2,655]

I play videogames not girls.

 

I am not looking for a relationship because I am content being single.

[Flutterguy1 203]

I'm single. I'd like to be in a relationship, but I'm perfectly happy being single at the moment and it's not something I think about a lot.

[Anonymous~ 591]

Is it just me, or is there a lot of "relationship" threads lately?

 

Anyhow, I'm single and that status will not change for quite some time. So, I'd love to find my second half when I get a bit more older.

[Inactive01 5,299]

I'm single, but there was a girl I really liked and I (maybe...) still like now. If only we were in the same country...

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

Single, would like to have a relationship but is perfectly happy at the moment with being single.

[ProjectRKA 2,848]

I'm single. I think that sometimes it's nice to be single, other times it's just miserable...

[Arrow 236]

atm, I'm single.

 

Being with +50 girls a year started to get annoying, so I quit.

But have you had a girlfriend before?

 

It's just that I too hated phone conversations. Then I got a girlfriend and still hated for a while, but then I completely fell in love and then I loved talking to her on the phone.

 

If you say that relationships are "a lot of work" it sounds like if you just were doing it for the status, and not because you actually love the girl. If you did, then you would never think it's a lot of work. You'd be happy! You shouldn't be with someone you don't love.

 

 

Then the girl of course dumped me... But I miss her, and I miss women in general! I want to fall in love again. Oh and this girl is currently begging me to take her back, so I'm considering it, but I'm not gonna just say yes inmeadiatly, because I don't feel like I love her anymore (And that would be really pathetic)

[NeverNeverland 1,940]

Are you currently single?

 

Yes.

 

Are you happy being single?

 

Yeah, to an extent.

[Envoy-in-exile 101]

This has turned into the single's thread

 

Being single has more advantages than being in a relationship just for the sake of being in one.

[Envy 6,162]

I'm single, and of course I'm not happy being single! =(

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 619]

Not most of the time, but it does have its times. i'm intrapersonal so i perform, work and enjoy stuff better when i know i got a mare to go back to

[Marshmallow 1,137]

I'm single and my wallet is very happy about it!

Honestly though, it's been a while since my last girlfriend and I would kinda like to be in a relationship again.

 

But yeah, both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. I'm not happy about being single, but I'm not sad about it either. I guess I'm kinda in between.

[Raiyny Day 71]

I'm single and perfectly happy :]

[Espeon 338]

I've never been in a relationship and I'm not actively seeking to be in one. I can't say I'm happy, because I don't know exactly what I'm missing out on, but I know I'm not unhappy about it. From what I hear, it can be draining in many ways (financially, emotionally, temporally), but rewarding as well.

 

Is it just me or are there tons of threads along the same line as this one
