Do you REALLY love being single?

[mimiku]

I was single for 5 years. The first 3 years was fun. I chose to be single at that time. But as the years went on especially that I was getting older and entering the big 30, I sort of became lonely but not desperate. Tama yung isang girltaker dito, your friends are there but not all the time and iba pa rin yung feeling na may katuwang ka sa buhay. Anyway, the longing wasn't that bad. There are just some times when I get emotional. Pero overall, I enjoyed my single moments.

Mag 7 years na akong single. Minsan I love it, minsan I hate it. When I feel lonely, ni-divert ko na lang attention ko sa ibang bagay. Ayaw ko magwallow sa self-pity.

[ohcmon]

Used to not mind being single. In fact, I loved my freedom. Until I moved out of home and lived alone, that is.

Grabe, mga sis, feel na feel ko talaga na me, myself, and I lang. 'Yung tipong uuwi ako to an empty house tapos ni wala akong makausap na medyo intimate than the regular conversations, kakain ako laging mag-isa, lalabas to do errands mag-isa...

Ramdam na ramdam ko talaga maging single ngayon haha.

[simang]

at this point in time i can say nahanap ko na yung inner happiness and self love that everyone needs to have as an individual. pero for me, having someone to love, and the feeling of being loved, still nothing can beat that. i'm just enjoying my time, whatever i have in my hands right now, maximising it to the fullest, keeping my doors open for possibilities. and most importantly, knowing what i really want and what i will and won't settle for. i think that's the most important

Very well said, kutitapkiss. :-) Sana most people would think this way.

Used to love it but I missed being in a relationship so... Hehe. For 8yrs of being single I learned a lot esp. self love. Sobra sobrang me time ang nangyari sa akin. Nakapagfocus ako sa ibang bagay and other goals ko in life.

Hello 

This is my first post tapos about being single pa  . hehe Anyways, Ako I have been single all my life like literally no bf since birth and I always say I love being single for a lot of reasons like I'm not yet financially stable and emotionally ready. However, I'm not closing my doors but for the meantime I just enjoy my freedom and being single. No pressure but if dumating yong time na 25 na ako tapos wala pa rin baka I'll start to panic na.

GT I have a question, What keeps you single?

[red_yesha]

^ako last month lang natapos ang pagiging single ko.hehe
Kaya ako matagal naging NBSB kasi wala akong nakitang lalakeng swak talaga sakin at tsaka masyado na akong masaya sa buhay. Nakipag date ako dati pero wala talagang spark.

Masaya talaga maging single! ang daming pwedeng gawin kasi hawak mo ang oras mo. Eto yung time na mapapasabak ka talaga sa ibat ibang activities. Ayos na ayos!
Pero tapos na ako dyan, masaya pa rin ako ngayon kasi ang natagpuan kong lalake ay kakulitan ko haha!

[IamMarieLove]

red_yesha WOW! Wishing you all the happiness in the world. By the way, I like what you said here "If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. "
It's super true. We are all born differently and our differences make us beautiful in our own way.

[red_yesha]

Oo wow talaga haha thanks much sissy!!
Hango pa yan sa desiderata. Paborito ko
Nakakatuwa naman ang mga sinabe mo. Napakapositibo

[IamMarieLove]

red_yesha sobrang ganda ng Desiderat. and happy stories should always be told. Minsan naiisip ko kailan kaya ako mawawala sa singlehood but no pressure naman on my part. Enjoy enjoy muna pag may time. Everything happens for a reason naman. hehe

[red_yesha]

^I strongly agree with you
Naisip ko din yan kung kelan matatapos ang singlehood ko dati. So inenjoy ko nalang ito. Habang naghihintay e nag eenjoy mas nagiging interesting ka pa kasi nakakapag explore ka on your own.
Kung kelan nga ako nawalan ng interes sa pagbi-bf doon nalang dumating. Sadyang mapaglaro ang panahon.
Dumarating ang mga bagay sa panahong di mo inaasahan.
MASAYA ang pagiging SINGLE

[IamMarieLove]

Hehe sobrang saya maging single. Most of my friends are also single kaya minsan tinutukso nila kami na mayroon high standards sa guys kaya single but we know it's not true. We just want to explore things and let things happen naturally. red_yesha, is your bf your first bf?

[red_yesha]

^ganyan din samin!! Barkada ng puro single/NBSB. hahaha! Kaya hindi ako nagmamadali kasi may mga kasama akong wala rin bf hehe. Walang pressure!
Totoo yan, hindi naman mataas ang standards, sadyang ang hanap lang ay tunay na pagibig chos!! Hahaha! Korni ko.

Oo 1st bf ko 'to ngayon. Di pa nga rin ako makapaniwala e. Hehe.
Kaya ikaw sissy, kapit ka lang. Wag dun sa basta basta na tipong  masabe lang may boypren.
Dun tayo sayo "in God's perfect time".

[IamMarieLove]

hahaha tama! ayoko lang magsettle dahil nagmamadali ako and like you I want it to be in God's perfect time. haha

Hi sis :-)

This is just ME... masarap maging single but iba pa din pag may companion ka.... :-)

[patchuchai]

noong una, yes ok lang sa akin pero eventually medyo malungkot and when my folks passed away mas lalo akong nalungkot. iniisip ko lagi when will I find love when will he be and if his out there will he wait for me, kanta iyan sa pirate movie, haha. and hindi ko hinanap then ayun sumulpot siya, complicated pero tinanggap ko. my first boyfriend, masasabi ko iba kapag may boyfriend ka, on my part siya ang nagpapa realize ng existence ko. I don't know when will this relationship last kaya we are taking it one day at a time.

[anapatootiee]

I had no boyfriend since birth but I'm a hopeless romantic.It's actually quite complicated because I wanted to have a love story just like what I read on books and movies I watch but I know that reality exists and fiction doesn't. So, I was content for a while with my life until there came a time when I wanted someone to cuddle with and someone to talk to everyday and do all those cheesy stuffs. So, if I really love being single? Truth is, I have no idea what my feelings are.

[IamMarieLove]

Hi sis, I think sis you want to be in a relationship but you just haven't found the man who fits in your standard. Based on your story, you are so fascinated about the perfect characters in books and movies but the truth is they never exist. There is no Christian Grey and No Mr. Prince Charming. Good thing you are aware that they don't exist. It's okay naman to hope for the best guy in the world besides who wouldn't want that? but BEST GUY depends on you and not on the books you've read or movies you've watched. And don't rush in love, diba sa song you can't hurry love and you just have to wait. Love is at its best when it's least expected sabi nga.

[anapatootiee]

Well, maybe I guess you're right, though there are times that I'm seriously thinking of growing old alone to the point that I'm already telling my parents that I'm gonna be a matandang dalaga whenever they bug me if I already have a boyfriend.
