should i stay single?

Get a life girl!!

What are you doing with yourself? How are you building you up? Have you lived your dreams yet I hope they aren't all wrapped up in having a man. Ever wanted to travel? Get a passport and GO SOMEWHERE. ...

No need to jump from relationship to relationship;.. why not enjoy the freedom that you have?

If you ate getting depressed over not being in a relationship, you have OTHER ISSUES. Learn to love being unattached. You were already in a fou year marriage.. enjoy a lack of being committed. We all go thru funky stages in life. There were plenty of times where I just thought I would die and my eggs would dry up and I would just combust If I didn't find a partner, a man , a boyfriend etc.. But as I started to be more concerned with other things in life and got busy trying to build my own.. I began to grooooow as a woman. Once I grew, my standards for a partner became more clear and I became aware that what I want is not easy to find but is definitely worth the wait. I rarely think about having a man now.

Not that it isn't something I want in life, I do. but I want it to be a lasting and successful relationship.. and those aren't made like microwave popcorn. I realized that if someone isn't a fit for me, I would just be wasting time that I could spend working toward building the life that i want.

Get to know and love YOU, be content with whatever state you are in. Single or not.Remember, men smell desperation a mile away. Normal ones run, the preditors take advantage of it and use you.

Happy and fulfilled attracts happy and fulfilled.

obviously being happy is healthier for you! but if you can't be single and happy, there is something wrong don't you think? the need to constantly have someone there for you is not very healthy, have some independence! [which is what i think your friends are trying to say]. i think the best thing is to be single have fun, and when the right guy comes along you can start a relationship, but don't just settle for any guy because you don't want to be single anymore. goodluck finding that right guy. :)

How long have you been single? I am always sad for about a month then I start to become more independent and confident and have a great time. Then I have a casual hook up/rebound for awhile then I really want a bf. So I think you should try to be single for at least 3-6 months. You need to gain some independence. Then go for it!

you listen to your friends about relationship advice? not good. ive heard some where that 8 of 10 people arent even happy with their relationship. If you want to date, date, or stay single. I dont like being single but im forced to cause of who i am and what type of girls i like and which ones i attract (not the right ones). Im not lonely though, i do have friends i can hang out with and call up. Just keep trying, You fall of the horse you just get back up. Life is hard that way.

you can think you have found happiness with someone but then things turn bad. you have experience there. you thought you were happy with him to an extent that you married him, now you divorced which shows you that you can never be eternelly happy with someone.

dating exes is another good experience you have, they never work. i'm single right now and i've never been happy. i nearly got married this year but found out my gf was cheating on me. now i'm never getting married, ever! it can be done

btw, its the second time i've been single. i did it 5yrs back when i was single and enjoying life for 13 months. i can do it again forever if i want. i believe happines is out there and if i want it i can easily reach out and touch it, on my own, as i'm doing.

so try the single life for a while

Why are you happy you got divorced?! And I think you should stay single for a few months,find a hobbie or something,there are TUNS of stuff out there to do besides date. It would be best and healthiest of you stayed single for a few months,then got back into a relationship in a while.

You've just been released from a stifling warehouse and you want to go back in?

Stay single. Inhale DEEPLY the cool, fresh air. Enjoy it, and like your friends say, find what else makes you happy. Perhaps you'll meet someone while doing one of those things?

If you learn to be independent for once it will better your life. I speak the truth. Then let love come to you, but this time try not to jump into marriage which should not result in a divorce - this constant "trend" seen in society.

Best wishes!

Date without commitment. Sample guys and don't settle. At the same time, pursue other interests. I.e. take a dance class with a friend.

stay single. at least for the time being.

clearly things changed throughout your marriage and youre a new woman.

spend time learning about that woman, induging yourself and enjoying friends. dating will be much more enjoyable once youve spent time as a strong, independent woman.
