I AM JUST CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY OF YOU THINK THAT IT IS EASIER BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE, OR DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU RATHER LEAD THE SINGLE LIFE AND JUST MEET, AND DATE DIFFERENT PEOPLE?

WHICH ONE DO YOU FEEL IS EASIER TO DO?

(LIKE DO SOME OF YOU STAY WITH SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU RATHER NOT BE ALONE.)

I've been in relationships in the past, some bad and some good. I just notice that I am usually happier when I am single. That's not to say that I don't ever want to be in a relationship again. I definitely enjoy getting laid a few times every day.

I'm 35 and been single all my life met numerous women. Indeed I had relationships, if thats what you want to call them, we talked, did things together etc. To this day I can say this is the best way because when things just aren't working out we can be mature, shake hands and move on before hateful feelings start to brew. The unfortunate married do not have this luxury without getting lawyers involved screwing up the kids sense of security if they have any kids, and on and on. I have a dog sitting on the porch right now. She can stay if she wants to or run off to another owner, where ever she is happy is all that matters. The point is: She is not chained to the porch!

Relationships are NEVER easy...the rewards of a good one are great but there is a lot of risk so you just have to choose either the safe route or the risky one with a greater pay off. The choice you make is greatly related to your personality type, IMO. Sometimes I think the safe route of just dating is better but I don't think I am that type so I end up taking the risky road. The fall is greater but you can hit the lotto sometimes...the first choice never even gives you the opportunity to hit the lotto. What am I talking about? I have no idea...just ramblin'.

I have to be in a relationship, I'm just that type og guy. Dating is tooo much work. It takes a while for me to get comfortable w/ a new girl. Plus I don't trust people in general.

sweatpea, i rather be single and mingle. I'm not into commitment, it takes to much time . I'm living with my gf now, she's 35 and i'm 23. Yes she's older, more mature. I don't "Love" her, just "Care" for her and If I walk away now, she'll be hurt'n. I don't have the heart to do that so I'll just wait for her to kick me to the curb. In the mean time, I'll just enjoy what I have.

Everyone has issues, BIGPAPPA. but no I do not have any right now like this. I was just curious about how people felt. Me personally I rather be in a relationship cause I do not want to grow old alone. Don't care whether I am married or not. A piece of paper and a ring show nothing to me.

This is hard to answer. Single life is not too bad. If you have the right person than a relationship is great. But if the relationship goes to hell, the single life looks better. I guess the grass is alway greener.......

I would rather not even know the girls name.

In a world where i was god men could just go up to women and say would you like to have sex and the women would say yes more of the time than no. You wouldnt have to talk to them on the way home either. Or better yet you just bang them in the car and then go get another on from a different club. Now that would make life worth living.

I'm def. a relationship guy. Very modern in all other aspects of life, except relationships. When it comes to this I'm old fashioned. Probably too old fashioned, but I can't help it. Just the way I am.

I love being in a relationship. I have a wife who does eveything for me, and thats the way I like it. Even before her all the women I have had a relationship with have always taken care of me. I have only had to wash my clothes once in my life. I do the man jobs around the house and I expect the women to do her job, cook, clean, serve, and of course sex. C.C.S.S.

being alone sucks, but I am not going to stay with somebody, just because I don't want to be alone. I am 29 no kids and never married and I seem to like it that way. I do not date very much because of that reason. afaid of getting hurt. oh well i still get some everyonce in a while, just like everybody else. hehehe

I don't think I've ever made the choice. Sometimes you meet someone who you don't want to let get away. I've always believed that if you're not sure if you want to commit, it is because you have not found the right person. When you're in the relationship and prefer to be single, it is time to move on.

Both being in a relationship and being single have its advantages.

There is nothing like having someone to share your experiences with, both good and bad. Having a best friend and partner (some time sparing,watch out for flying dishes). 9+ years of marriage and it keeps getting better. Being alone sucks. Just don't commit too early in life. Everyone needs time to become themselves without Mom & Dad or Wife/Husband.
We should revive this post in 10 years and see where those happy single people are then

Plan and simple.......when your young (age 16-24), you want to play the field.

When you get up in age (age 25 on), you realize how important it is to have someone for yourself and want to have a life long partner.

WOW!! I can not believe all the "sensitivity" I am starting to read on here, this is great, cause now I see that many of you do have a heart in you.

PT101 yes, I think we should some day bring this up and see where the single ones are in life...

FlexB, that is very well put. Thank You !!

Thank You to everyone for expressing your feeling about this.

Im 21 going on 13 with respect relationships and the maturity needed to sustain them. I have been getting tired of meeting the same old chicks, the bar seens are lame. I meen i cant fuckin identify with a barfly smoker and drinker. However, Ilove being free to do as a please and feel no obligation towards another. That just changed, Im so involved with bodybuilding and academics that I have abandoned my search, I think Im gonna settle down with the girl that latched on to me. Im generaly mistrusting of other humans, so It takes me a while to trust and care for another person, especially a woman. For the first time im getting a taste of the comfort of a woman whos there for you and wants to comfort and make your life easier. I think I like it.

FlexB, I couldn't have said it better. Playing the field is fun when you're younger, but over time it becomes very unfulfilling. When that starts to happen, your whole perspective changes.
