10 Reasons To CELEBRATE Being Single!

most of the people who agree with this list have just gotten out of relationships most of which were bad or why leave? so this should state for the NEWLY single. if you have been single for a long time i agree it gets old. ESPECIALLY when youve done all of the things on the list...

I agree with all ten :)

Being single doesn't mean you have to be alone. It means you're not in a committed romantic relationship. You're allowed to date, if you're into dating. And,hello, don't you have friends? Or, a hobby??

I feel bad for these people who feel lonely being single. I adore spending time with myself, getting to know myself and growing into the person I want to be.

I've done marriage, and while it does have perks--if it, or any relationship isn't making you better, you need to be outta there.
I love having my own stuff and not having to make sure someone else is okay. I don't think I'll be single forever, but, I'm going to continue to have a good time while I am! ;-)

I think if these people are so happy being single they haven't been in love in a long time or in love with the right person. Being with the right person is everyones dream. If you find the right person you would be very happy. I think the people who say they are happy being single can't find that someone to make them happy. It's sounds like a cover up for what they know they want but just can't find it.

This list is pathetic. Who is kidding themselves with tripe like this?

There is nothing wrong with the word FLIRT.. there is always a degree in flirting. Take note that even babies know how to flirt! So it's up to e person how flirting is being manifested.

Really. I like the marry life. The single life is a death wish. To many flirt, flirt, flirt. They needed to be mindful that person is marry and the marry person needed to be mindful that he or she is marry. It seen if, Marry people flirt with each other, it is not a good thing. But, before we got marry we flirt with each other. I believe they lost the feeling of flirting with each other because maybe the way we dress or change or maybe once we have got to know each other inside out. what do you think? Have a good day!!!

Girls, lets agree there are advantages and disadvantages being single. But I do agree with everything you mentioned here... Great research!

It gives me time to write about being single! :)

I just don't understand how someone that is not so divorced or recently single can say how happy this life is if you are so happy and frolicking in New York. I just don't get it. Relationships are awesome. Now, if the ONE that left you is doing all those things, they are happy, but the other...not so much.

Most of the article is true, but you really have to have some extra $ and cooperative friends to travel.

Believe me, I've experienced it.

Wherever you do want to go - you may end up going alone and on a BUDGET.

Pro's and con's to everything!
The comments that follow the article are interesting.
For most items on this list the opposite could also be said.
I could chose to keep reading about how great the single life is, come to believe it, and do it.
Having an opportunity to really be close to someone: love; make love, not sex; share all kinds of things; grow together, etc. just doesn't happen everyday. The singles life is always out there for the taking.

"Single parents—you don’t have to share credit for raising great kids.…you get it all!"

The list was fine until I read this one. Stop advocating deliberate single-parenthood! It CAN be done alone and most kids from single-parent homes grow up fine, but it was meant to be done with two people for a reason. Perhaps if we had more father's in the picture with these "strong independent women", our girls would not be growing up with so many self-esteem and poor self-image issues, running around trying to get love and attention from boys who have no intention of giving it to them. There is nothing great about it, so stop already!

love this article... I'm so happy being single after 5 long, difficult years and this article made me even happier! :)

i like the last one...developing a relationship with myself...sometimes u have to get to know yourself all over again.

I just ended a 2 1/2 yr relationship with my ex fiance, and I must say all of these 10 reason are very true... Since the breakup I have discovered hidden talents within myself, and new fun hobbies to do... I thank God for having favor over me in revealing his what kind of person he really his, and not allowing me to make one of the biggest mistakes in my life... LOVING THE SINGLE LIFE, AND LOVING MYSELF FIRST...

I've been solo now for 2.5 years. I do get lonely now and then but then I just think of the lousy yucky dates Ive experienced in the past year or so, and I am actually glad I'm single!!This article confirmed my desire to stay single.If mr. right comes along so be it but he's gonna have to be pretty spectacular!!!

Wow, if these are the things you consider great about being single, you must've been in really lousy relationships:

1. You can still flirt a little in a relationship. Unless by "flirting" you mean giving out bjs...which I do not. And, FYI, you could try flirting with your significant other.

2. I still travel whenever I want. Sometimes I take off with friends, sometimes I take off with my significant other, and sometimes I take off by myself. Just because you are in a relationship doesn't mean you have to be attached at the hip constantly.

3. I can stay out as late as I want...I do tell my boyfriend when I am going to be late - but I guess I don't consider that "pesky" or "annoying." Unlike you single people, I actually have someone at home who cares about me and would notice if I didn't come home because I was...say...dead in a ditch somewhere...?

4. I'm not excited about more first kisses. I like my boyfriend's kisses.

5. I just don't get this one at all...but maybe neither one of us is into commercialism of holidays.

6. I don't really watch much television so this doesn't apply to me. I guess my equivalent would be books...? And I read whatever books I want.

7. His relatives are over 6,000 miles away and I barely spend time with mine, so I guess this isn't an issue for us since neither one of us is really "family" people.

8. I can see enjoying having the bed all to yourself every now and then...but I also really enjoy being able to roll over and cuddle up to someone I love.

9. This one is just disgusting. So you are putting your kids in a crappy, unstable situation in which they don't get enough attention because they have no one at home with them for most of the day so you don't have to share the credit for raising them with a man? Somehow I don't think this sentiment is shared by many women who are single parents - I'm sure they would've much rather found out that the guy who knocked them up was an upstanding, responsible man that would happily take equal part in their children's lives.

10. Are you incapable of learning more about yourself while you are in a relationship? That just seems bizarre. I absolutely believe that people do have to spend at least some of their youth single and/or trying out relationships with different people so that they can figure out who they are and what they want. However, personal growth does not (and should not) come to a halt when you enter a relationship. That is just ridiculous!

Isnt too interesting to be alone as somethings are

I was just telling my friend (who was whining about hubby) that I'm glad I'm not married. Yes, for all these reasons and more. My house, my bed, my remote, my time, my authority, my schedule and I get to flit and have those moments of hope.
