Do you REALLY love being single?

[jninchan]

Since I've been single for so long, I would say na I've been longing and wanting to try to be in a relationship. But this doesn't mean na I'm not happy being single ha. It's about how you define your own happiness naman. Siguro wala lang kasi akong mapagcomparan kaya di ko alam kung anong mas love ko, ang pagiging single ba or being not.

May perks din kasi ang pagiging single, you have more time for yourself, and you can do and explore more things without considering your SO's opinions. And siguro habang tumatanda ka, you just don't want to settle for anything. Naghintay na lang din ako, ano pa yung maghintay ako ng konti pa.. If wala talaga, then make your life meaningful and be grateful for whatever you have.

I have been single for so long... and i wonder why my post needs approval hahhah.. anyway... how to enjoy being single? You can be selfish , all your money goes to you , no anniv, xmas, birthdays to problem about lol

[poems and petals]

YES. Ayaw ko pang may iniintinding ibang tao.

What I'm not happy about is walang nagkakagusto sakin. Lakas maka-feeling sobrang panget.

50/50 kasi pag single ka wala kang responsibility, walang LQ , free ka kahit saan pumunta , walang gastos sa dates o gifts . Pero nakakalungkot din kasi walang ka lambingan o ka romansa, walang ka message ng sweet conversations..

[arrabels]

50/50 din. It gets sad and lonely sometimes. Lalo pag ikaw lang single sainyo magbabarkada, pahirapan maaya sila umalis, kung pumayag man, nth-wheel ang labas mo. Pag single ka naman, gala all you want, or bum around all you want, wala makikialam sayo.

Ngayon ko naappreciate maging single. Nung una kasi nalulungkot ako dahil nasanay ako ng laging may kausap lalo na pag uwi galing work, ngayong may makachat man ako saglit lang tapos hindi na ako magrereply. Nabibili ko lahat ng gusto ko, nakakapunta sa lahat ng gusto ko puntahan at nasasamahan ko lahat ng gusto kong samahan. This is the stage of my life where I can say that 'love yourself' is really for me.

Ako before i got married na enjoy ko ang pagiging single ko. Masaya maging single kung un talaga ang gusto mo. Hindi mo kailangan ng ibang tao para maging masaya. Naging choice ko na wag mag asawa ng maaga. Dahil marami pa ako gusto sa buhay before ko bitiwan pagiging single. Masarap maging single dahil free as a bird ka talaga lalo na if hindi mo need isupport ang family/parents. Dati any decision ko hindi ako nag aalala if mag fail because sarili ko lang ang dala ko now need ko iconsider my husband and my baby. Finacial eto malaki pinag bago kung dati spend all i want ako and shopping galore at travel all around now need iconsider ang future muna ni baby before my wants. Now mas naging wiser ako pagdating sa needs at wants. Ang nakakamiss lang sa pagiging single less responsibility pero kahit ganun masaya at kontento naman ako sa married life ko.

sa mga friends ko ako na lang ang single.... ano naman magagawa ko. Okay naman ako maging single . Im not sure if it's a good or bad thing . Naconfuse lang ako siguro minsan sa dami ng mga inaakusa nila sa single people na malungkot etc. minsan napapaisip din ako sa lahat bg years na single ako tapos ang mga friends ko may mga kasama na at enjoy sila. Baka nagmana rin ako sa lola ko na matandang dalaga & strong and independent. Ang nakakainis pa parang napapahoya ka sa family gatherings pag naging topic ang buhay ko as if napakakawawa ko na. I think im happy being single naman. Its just the people talaga.

i enjoy being single. i get to develop, grow, and love myself fully. walang iniintindi kundi sarili lang. i get to travel on a whim. i have all my money to myself. and of course i call the shots on my decisions in life.

although, may times i'd want to meet the partner fit for me! im not searching for the perfect one. i don't think that such exists. perfect lang for me sana. and i know and believe i'm getting there. i just had to love myself more.

[amethyst028]

actually being single and in a relationship is mostly the same. it's not like pag nagka bf ka magically magbabago na ang buhay mo. if you are not happy with yourself and just by yourself you will not be happy even when you're with someone else. worse if he is you're only  source of happiness he will feel the pressure and start to pull away from you.

i had to learn this lesson the hard way. i've been in and out of relationships and non of them tend to last. i had an entitlement mentality, like they owe me something. the moment i started to just focus on myself and start doing everything that makes me happy my relationship got better. i had so much more to bring to the relationship and the guy i'm with doesn't feel any pressure.

even though i am with someone now i still do my own thing, i still do the things i did when i was single, i still have the same goals in life and i am getting there with or without him. a relationship is just icing on your already awesome life. so try to have the best life you could possibly have, guys are attracted to girls who are doing their own thing.

I can't really say na I "love" being single pero I do enjoy being single. Minsan lang nakakamiss may kalambingan. Pero pag naaalala ko yung mga why I decided to get out of my last two relationships, hindi ko na namimiss. 😂

I can honestly say na I'm generally happy being single. I can easily decide about my career (like applying abroad) and finances. Pati studying again, learning a new skill, mag-ipon, consistently being present for my mom, being closer to God, etc. those things na hindi ko naiisip nuon, nagagawa ko na ngayon. Sobrang liberating sa pakiramdam yung mga  nangyayari ngayon.

I must admit though na kahit happy ako, I'm not closing my door to the possibility na one day, may cocomplement sa kasiyahan ko ngayon. Pero for now, I am at my happiest state. ☺️

[solepurplelife]

Not today   

[plumpolka]

yes, i love being single. may mga nagpaparamdam pero ayoko pa rin kasi magka bf pa. na-eenjoy ko pa talaga ang single life ko. partying and going out with different sets of friends, inom dyan, labas dito without thinking about anything. pwede ka naman lumabas din with friends kung may jowa pero syempre madalas you chose to be with jowa na lang kesa sa friends. or minsan pag kasama mo friends mo, maiisip mo na sana kasama mo pala si jowa mo dito. pero kapag single ka, ikaw lang iniisip mo and ayun, super naeenjoy ko talaga ngayon. really happy pero someday sana makita ko din yung "perfect" for me.

[sweet21]

I have been single for about a year now. I'm already 33. So far happy naman ako. Na enjoy ko naman sarili kong company. Sabi ko nga kung bibibyan pa ako ni Lord ng husband happy ako, if not happy din naman. Pero nakakamiss  din naman yung nasa relationship ka. Yung may mangangamusta sayo and all.

[lonelywifey]

yes. mas ok na maging single kaysa naman may karelasyon ka nga pero sama lang ng loob ang nakukuha mo. kahit pa kasal kayo at may anak. kung ang rason lang eh para may kasama tumanda at marriage for covenience na lang, please pag isipan. mainam na kumalas na pag hindi na masaya at wala nang love. yung tipong pinipilit mo na lang.

[J.warner]

^ super agree

[kvandenhaak]

^^Very true! I keep telling my single friends that. Eh kasi ako nga I got married and it didn't work. Now that I am single again, mas enjoy ko ang buhay kahit single mom. I am not in a hurry din kako to have anyone. I mean, it would be nice pero if it comes good and if it doesn't okay din. Ang katwiran naman nila kasi may anak na daw ako so I don't have to worry about my biological clock. Yun nga lang kako. Di ko naman mai-advise na magpabuntis na lang...LOL!

[eischied_21]

^ Buti ka pa sis, hindi mo ina-advise na magpabuntis lol. I have some friends wala man lang preno minsan bibig na magpabuntis na lang daw haha. Parang ang hirap din imagine, you're working, tapos may anak, household chores then nasa abroad pa so no yaya..pano kaya gagawin lahat yun haha

[kvandenhaak]

^Oh my God no...LOL! Lack of presence of the dad (except syempre sa mga walang kwentang lalake) has a big impact on society. It is very irresponsible of me to tell them to raise children by themselves.
