I have been single for over 11 years. I have no desire to be a 'couple' again. I was married for over 20 years, most of them very happy. No regrets. Just love being single. |

I have been single for more than a few years now. I enjoy my own space and freedom so I can see me being single for a long time yet. Never married, no kids and no baggage suits me just fine.
Maybe one day someone will change my mind but I am certainly not looking for it. |

Depends on how I feel about other things in my life.
At times, I'm glad to be free to make my own decisions and plans for my future. At other times, I miss the special kind of intimacy and companionship that comes with a long term relationship.
I suppose the middle road between the two afforded by having 'FWBs' might make for a happy medium - I guess I'll know if/when it happens. |

"I am single and I like it. which means I can do what I want when I want it  "
Yup love it. Got friends I can go do couple type stuff with.. meals out.. cinemas.. go and chill with them when shit day has been had.
But then all the good bits of being single x |

"50/50.
There are times when I crave company and human contact, other times when I'm glad to be on my own and making my own choices. "
I feel like this too.
But I doubt I'll be in another traditional relationship again.
I suck at them!
I like my own company but spend far too much time on my own recently - and would like to have someone special to share things with. |

I am newly single and would agree with you there.  |

Tough one.. I've been single for 8 years and like my own space and company.
I do miss the affection and quiet company of a partner but have lived like this so long I'm not sure I'd be very good at it. |

"So basically the question is the grass greener?"
Yes it is for me.
I would like to see out my old age with a nice man, who likes gardening and days out, and is hot in bed, but I can't be arsed to find one or trawl through the unsuitable ones to find him. |

Yeah im single ever since i broke up with my ex (well we never formally broke up, i dropped her off at a police station and that's as the last i saw of her i think that counts)
I have a few friends with benifits and the occasional one off or semi regular meets.
And it suits me i have my own life but still get to do coupley things. |

Depends.
I sometimes miss doing coupley things, spooning, watching movies curled up with each other.
But, I also enjoy doing my own thing. I can be very unsociable sometimes and enjoy my own company x

I absolutely adore being single, but I think part of the reason I’m so okay with it is because of the ideas I have about boundaries.
Plus, I’ve only been single for about 5 months, so not enough time to get fed up with it yet |

Only time I hate it is when taking the bins out, not being able to rub moisturiser into my back, DIY, when want to do something yet friends are busy I have no one to force to tag along and no sex on tap!
Other than that loves it, off to the Opera on my own next month as no one wanted to come along |

I’m single, but there are times when I’d love to share something that made me smile with someone who cared about me. Or get a cuddle when I feel low.
Mostly though, I love being single |

See I don't get that... I mean you have a person you love right there... why would you not want to jump on them at every given chance...
maybe my sex drive is broken, or I've not been in a relationship long enough to get bored of the sex...  |

I mean I love going out dancing all night and not having to worry if anyone else feels like it, or going to as many festivals and gigs as I want each year, but I hate having to wait for meets, and nothing compares with being able to reach out and touch someone any time you like, having them reach out and touch you, any time they like, for a hug, or for more. |

People change over time, so do feelings and desires. Some marriages become more like living arrangements than what they started out to be. I have sex with someone else on a regular basis but not with the wife for probably 4 years ! |

Know what you mean with this; a traditional relationship just wouldn't cut the mustard. Not to say that it shouldn't contain many traditional elements; they're warm, comforting and beautiful. But there's plenty of adventures not contained within a traditional relationship that yearn to be explored... 
In these regards fortunately our relationship is far from traditional.  |

Do you never get a bit lonely and feel you would like a few little ties to another? |

I might feel that sometimes, but very rarely as I got so much to do you know, you? |

I like it and don’t like it with equal measure.
FWBs fill a gap but they tend to come and go (either them or me... without a deeper attachment I get bored quickly).
Ultimately I don’t want to be single forever but I’m enjoying my life as it is right now.

I've never been single. Met first hubby at 14 and then divorced. Met second hubby whilst going through divorce and married again. I absolutely hate my own company, I think I'd struggle big time. |

No disrespect to you - but being bored by sports is exactly part of the reason I enjoy being single

This is my view too! 90% of the time I love being single, but 10% of the time I wish I had someone to snuggle up to, share a meal with, or just get downright filthy with. |

He knows. He wants a child but I've had enough of my own. My youngest is 16yrs old. I don't think I could go through that again, just to give someone else the chance to be a parent. |

That’s about the truth for me also. Having and being someone important to the other person would be the absolute best for me, I’ve no idea if I could share space with a man and I’ve no problem trying but I’m just not sure.
It’s moot anyway, I’ve been single for over 30 years. |

I would love to be in a relationship again but just cannot bring myself to commit to one. My ex wife left me and the kids once i left the army after 19 years of marriage. Then i met a really beautiful, caring lady who i fell head over heels in love with. Then after four short months she died. A clot went to her brain. So now i'm stuck being single.
Baggage ! |

I really enjoy being single, the only thing that annoys me is my friends wives who always say oh you're a lovely guy and you will find someone. They say it with pity and I'm like fuck off your husbands constantly moan about you so don't pity me. |

I’m fucked then. I was hoping there was some kind of relationship where I could maintain doing my own thing. Fuckit. Single forever and die alone to be eaten by cats. |

Single but would love to be in a loving relationship again. Yes there are perks to being single but there are perks to being in a relationship. It's give and take, I'd like to not grow old alone. can't have everything you want in life but think you will have more of a chance if you're with someone than not. Any ladies near mk like a kinky occasional cross dresser? |
