How do you handle being Single?

[angelzero]

i always wanted to have a bf when i was in college. pero ok na rin na nagkaron ako 23 yrs old nako. aside from enjoying my single life, i also had time to really think about what i really want to do with my life and go about it in my own terms. thankful na rin ako na "late bloomer" ako.

may mga friends ako na in a relationship and they go through ugly relationship things habang nag aaral pa kami. pano nako makaka focus nun sa studies ko if i had that in my life? (nerd alert!)  but seriously, looking back, i don't think i would have been mature enough to be in a relationship that time. kahit nga yung 1st bf ko nung 23 ako feeling ko ang immature ko pa rin nun.

what made my single life really worthwhile was my friends, family, especially having a niece for the first time. when we had her at our home, parang di ko naisip na single ako. basta masaya ako nun. i don't have any interesting hobbies, i just love spending time with my loved ones.

Di maiiwasan na malulungkot ka at certain times, tatanungin mo sana meron ka rin other half. Matagal ko na rin dilemma yan, lalo na't makakapanood ka ng mga palabas tulad ng Pride and Prejudice 2005 na hindi naman totoo haha (paasaa pero pinapanood ko pa rin once in a while). Anyway, pero habang tumatanda ako while I wish there would be someone din, parang okay na rin naman ako kahit single lang. Ang sa akin na lang, tuloy lang ang buhay, kung di man dumating, wala na rin naman akong magagawa kundi tanggapin na lang. Bonus na lang din siguro kung meron man ibigiay si Lord .

Andyan lang din syempre yung peer pressure na talaga namang nakakaiinis at minsan ipapamukha pa sayo na napakalungkot ng buhay ng isang single na tao. At the end of the day din naman, ikaw rin naman nakakaalam kung masaya ka ba o hindi, hindi kung anong tingin ng ibang tao sa iyo.

I'm 26 and almost 3 months single from an 11-year relationship with a girl. Super duper hard to cope up as I was very dependent to her. Good thing, friends and family are always around to help. As of now, okay na ako. I learned to live my life alone though super hirap. Lage ko na lang bear sa utak ko na, God just saved me from a wrong one.

Wow ang tagal tapos nagbreak rin..bakit ganon noh, kailangan pang mawala kahit na umabot na ng sobrang tagal, hindi mo talaga masasabi ang mga pwedeng mangyari noh..

Ako feeling ko or alam ko naman talaga na i handle being single carelessly..

Hi girls!   

thanks to this thread because i had the courage to finally break up my 8 yr relationaship. I felt that it was not working out anymore and i was just too afraid to face reality but because of you girls, i got through it!

I felt relieved after the breakup parang i feel so free and calm. I am looking forward to focus more on my career, travel and prettify myself more hahaha! Btw, im turning 26 this year and i dont mind it. I want to live my life for myself while im single besides i have my single ladies with me.

We promised to be each other dates during weekends just like the old times. Last night while having drinks at 11pm bigla namin naisipan mag Tagaytay for coffe then go! Spontaneous lang! Thank God for friends like them.

Yung time na mapapagod kana umiyak at umasa darating talaga.  Sa ngayon nagpapaganda ako at nageenjoy.  Iniiisip ko na lang pag naalala ko siya, may sipa pa rin kasi talaga hehe na there is no accident in life.  May ibang plans pa sa akin si God.  Kaya natin ito!

Masarap din maging single kasi I have more 'ME' time unlike before na nakakahaggard talaga, away dito away doon, sundo, hatid, date, required ka sumama sa ganito sa ganyan, hati sa bayad, minsan ikaw pa magbabayad. Now, sa akin lahat ng oras ko, more time sa family, sa friends, career, hobby, gym, pera ko sa akin lang, mas nakaka ipon ng bongga, i can go kahit saan, travel to places na hindi na kelangan makipag away kung payag or hindi.

[annd]

mag-aral at magfocus sa career

I think just take every opportunity you will get from being single.

I'm turning 23 this year and isang beses pa lang talaga ako nag karoon ng formal boyfriend when I was 20, long distance pa kaya I honestly don't know how it feels like to be in a committment haha Of course, I go to dinner dates naman over the span of 3 years na wala akong boyfriend, pero hindi nga lang committed relationship talaga.

I always thought, I was a late bloomer. Nung high school and college crush crush lang talaga maybe because I have other priorities in life than having a boyfriend. Nung college talaga, I was a working student, so my time was basically split into four things: Family, Study, Work and Friends. As in super busy with everyhting since I was also pressured by my family to maintain my grades while working. The only time I consider for myself was when I hang out with my friends tapos ako pa yung parang ate ng lahat kaya talaga no time for boys. I was thinking na even mag karoon man ako that time, I will probably have no time for him because I barely make for myself nga eh.

Also, since I really have loving family and friends, I rarely get lonely. I always feel the love from other people, so I guess sa mga singles, you need to realize na you can still feel complete from the people that surrounds you beside boys. Pero I understand the feeling that you want to have that special someone to make you feel you are a beautiful creature you know haha pero yun nga I rather stay single than being with the wrong person.

Just think on the positive side. You are single and ready to mingle diba!? Spend more time with your family kasi let's face it, the other half of your life you will be spending it with your own family so now is your chance. Do crazy fun stuff with your girl pals! Kasi pag nag karoon ka na ng boyfriend I'm sure mag lalaylow yan (even though, personally I don't want to give that in kahit na meron na akong boyfriend lol )Most importantly, Spend your time on improving yourself kasi minsan by doing that you will also meet someone with the same value in life.

My uncle always says, "Let the man do the chasing after you have achived all the stuff you want to do in life. Trust me, self-satisfied and well achived woman are sexy and no boys will understand that, only real men do."

Minsan pag NSA labs ago at makakakita ng couples, naiisip ko, what do those girls have hat I don't?

Now naiisip ko, the universe is confiding against me Kasi kapag love life an Ang usapan, lagi ko sinasabi, skit laNg yan as ulo Pero deep inside gusto ko naman magkaroon ng special someone. Siguro kaya walka pa Kasi immature pa din ago. I still believe in the prince charming though reality is telling me there is none. I still believe that I will meet him under very unusual circumstances and fall in love unexpectedly whereas reality is telling me no.

[bittermelon]

same ako with sis oshiawase:

Puno rin ako ng pagpapanggap kunyari okay lang na WALA.
Pero deep inside nakakalungkot TALAGA.
Nakakamiss yung paguwi mo sa trabaho merong magttxt kung okay [textspeak!] yung araw mo.
Nakakamiss yung meron kang nakakausap sa phone.

Tama, meron tayong mga kaibigan, pero totoo rin gaya ng linya ng kanta "friends are hard to find"

Kahit bitter ako a part of me somehow hopes na may dadating pa din, sometimes i try to console myself na i am waiting for a good thing.

Minsan nagiimagine ako ng mala-koreanovelang eksena yung tipong almost mabubunggo [textspeak!] girl  tapos hihilahin siya ng guy.

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

Girls! mas lonely at alone ang magka relationship na taken for granted ka than sa single kayo.
Trust me, mas gugustuhin mo pang single ka kesa in a relationship pero pakiramdam mo, WALA
din kayong ka relasyon. That is the most loneliest feeling ever!

[pretty empress]

kanya kanya talagang perception, mas ok ako pag single, productive at mas mahal ko sarili ko.. I was selfless nung may karelasyon.. Pero naranasan din ang masaktan, mainsecure at maloko haha! Ansama.. Now, being single, kontento na muna ako sa pakilig kilig ng mga nababasa at napapanood ko.. Ok naman hahaha! Self supporting baga! Di ako naghahanap at naghihintay..

[piatos]

pabalik-balik ako sa stage na.  Anong nangyari samin? Nakakarelate ako sa kanta ni aiza.  Kakainis ang bitter ko pa din.  Nakakatawang isipin yung taong nagsasabi sayo na hindi ka iiwan noon, nangagamusta na lang ngayon.

[bittermelon]

ikinalulungkot ko na naman yung status ko
in  3 months time ( 2 years na akong single, but i can say that i am no better in handling this predicament)
i don't know why i just feel like i am missing something GOOD.
bakit nga ba tayo nabubuhay sa mundo? diba para magmahal?
Maraming nagsasabi andyan ang FAMILY mo para sayo (pero bakit hindi natin dagdagan db? hehe, ayoko naman na i babysit ako ng sisters ko palagi kasi single nga ako, minsan ndi na aalis si youngest sister kapag wala akong work, kasi alam niya na wala akong kasama sa house. Hindi ba nakakaloka yun? yung 17 year old pa yung nagbabantay sa 29 year old
Am super BITTER sa mga couple (nagtatampo na rin ako kay LORD, hindi niya kasi binigyan ng magandang ending yung huling love episode ko )

[pjiyeon]

my first and only relationship lasted for less than a month only. When i think about it, i still think that being single is the best status for me right now. If ever i will meet someone in the future who will make me think otherwise, then that's good but if not, ok [textspeak!] din. I'm happy being single because I can do anything without thinking about this person's approval and I don't have the obligation to reply to anyone's messages on my cellphone. Just be happy.

May post si ex with a girl.  Alam ko may crush yun sa kanya.  Dati ako yung nasa pic na yun ngayon iba na.  At first, i feel numb as in wala akong maramdaman hindi pa nagsisink-in tapos bigla na lang akong naiyak.  Sobrang sakit! Hindi ko alam gagawin ko.  Wish ko na lang sana maging happy ka vin.  Yung mga bagay na hindi ko nabigay sayo sana maibigay niya.  Arggghhh! ayoko na maramdaman ito.  Denial ako.  Hay ewan bahala na.  Si Lord na bahala sakin.  Sa ngayon ayaw ko na mag-isip.

i handle being single eto tahimik yun buhay ko. Family lang ang focus. Ika nga "Peaceful" wala ako kaaway, hindi ako naiinis lage, di ako stress... syempre dumarating din yun time na nalulungkot ako kase wala ako makasama lalo na makikita mo yun ibang couple na happy sila. Syempre kailangan lawakan din natin un pag-iisipn natin di naman purke masaya ang isang couple wala na sila problema db?! may mga pinagtatalunan din sila. there's no perfect relationship.

Mag-antay lang tayo darating din yun right man sa atin. Dumating din yun time na  question ko din si Lord why? pero narealized ko there is a reason for everything.... I know super basag na toh linya toh sa atin mga single pero eto yun totoo, masakit pero kailangan tanggapin.

Enjoy Life ... Kaysa ipilit natin db... Mahirap na mapunta tayo sa taong di deserving sa pagmamahal natin. Magugulat na lang tayo anjan pa pala yun prince charming natin. Pero dapat kilalanin natin mabuti kase mahirap na baka maloko pa tayo sa kakamadali natin.

Maging segurista na sa pagpili ng guy...
