How many on this board are very, very, very happily single?


I love being single, but I also live at home too!!!! But I love it. I don't have to worry about if my man wants supper at a certain time. I don't have to anwser to a man, and I don't have to worry about a broken heart, plus I can spend my money on me!!!! I'm not dating nor looking to get married anytime soon. Maybe when I'm in my 30s....maybe.

Sounds good as long as you don't get your heart broken!

I'm 22 and live on my own (and am broke, but....whatever) and it's SO much more fun being single that way. Kinda makes me sound like I bring home random guys, but I don't. :) It's just easier to go out and come back whenever, that sort of thing.

I hope you don't mind me saying this but you sound much older than 22 in your posts! I always assumed you were 30-something.. lol.. I am 36.. Oh yes, at 22 'single, free and therefore able to live a wild life and do wild things with it' is all one wants, and that's how it should be. I've been happily coupled up for well over 3 years now but was single for a year before I met my bf. I kid you not: hated it would be the understatement of the year lol. Never hid it either - I don't believe in saying 'oh I'm perfectly fine on my own' when you're not.

No, I don't mind at all, I get that relatively often. People at work who have just never asked my age before are always surprised when I tell them 22. I'll be 23 in 10 days if that helps. :) Only kidding, of course. The odd thing is that I'm 4'11", weigh 95 pounds, and could pass for at least five years younger than I am.

Anyway, no, you're right, you shouldn't say everything's fine and dandy when it's not. I lied to myself for a good two years (why it bothered me being single at 20, 21, I don't know), telling myself I was perfectly fine and happy, but I wasn't. I finally am and I couldn't be more content and excited about it.

Heartbroken? Puh-lease! I don't fall in love. The only reason I have ex-boyfriends is because the guys I used to be with became burdens, or at least chores to be around. This heart may not be a block of ice, but it's surrounded by one.

Besides I am only his second. Twisted relationship, huh? He already has a girlfriend but she's not cute. I can pretty much tell how he feels about us. She's his life, I'm his fun. I'm the face, the body. She's the voice, the mind. Yeah I know he's using us. But I'm using him. I might as well. Gotta be even. Anyways...he thinks he can tame me. But I'm a wild animal. I gotta leave some time. All I need is a reason to say goodbye (despite being the way I am, I do have a bit of honor--which I hold onto, tenaciously). But I figured, it'll die on its own. Neither of us drive!

As far as men I'd like to be with, he would've been my fifth choice. Basically interesting enough to have some sort of attraction to him.

oh my i am having so much fun just meeting people, hanging out with them, going clubbing... a bit wild (not too much), but I feel like this is what I missed out during college while I was in the relationship. During our relationship I did not really have a social life, so right now it's like I have to start all over again. It was scary at first thinking I had no friends, and it was a bit hard in the beginning. But once you go out, the ball gets rolling and there is really no end to it! :)
