What would it be like living single forever?

I currently have never had a girl friend or been deeply into relationships, yet i have many girls as friends. I've been single all my life and i'm very happy living like this (i am 20 btw). Low and behold, if i do find the right lady then obviously ill go that way but if i live single forever (and it doesn't bother me) what would it be like? i feel very happy as is right now and i think i might wanna pursue it. I see the advantages like i can go out all i want i can see my friends all the time, i can pursue my dreams without anyone interfering, i'm also not into kids. I like being free and it suites me personally. I basically wouldn't mind a real life experience answer of what its like to live single. Would i get bored? Of course i am only 20 and my thinking process could change. Thanks.

    It wouldn't suck. You are lucky. A lot of people get so buried in the persuit of someone to make them happy, they forget to realize they have everything they need inside them. So then people stick to crappy relationships because they are afraid to be alone. I have had boyfriends but always did better on my own. The loneliness might get you sometimes, especially as your friends find love and pair off and start families, but some of them may not. You will thank yourself for chasing your dreams and if a lady never comes along to change your mind, you could do great things. Or, if you do find one, she's probably going to have to be extra special to derail you.

    I'm 25, engaged, and about to have a baby. It all happened kind of fast, but I wouldn't change it. Still, I wonder about what I would be doing if I were still single with no baby on the way some days. I do miss my freedom and my friends.

    Both paths have their ups and downs. I don't think you will have any regrets.

    PRETTY WICKED, BELIEVE ME. I KNOW. FREE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT 24/7..

    You might not believe it till you get a girlfriend, but after that believe me, you'll probably need a break and a long break at that. Life is NEVER boring when you're single and I hate when people say that it is.

    Like:

    1. freedom

    2. no commitments

    3. free time

    4. no worries

    How could like get any better than that, seriously?

    Plus you're only twenty! You're really young, so you don't even need a girl friend now, if I were you I'd just stick with having fun with my friends in collage or university or getting my dream job or something.

    Living single forever, you'll probably get lonely. Friends aren't forever, so get married or get a dog once your twenties are over lol :P

    Anyway, good luck!

    we change later on with our ideas and world views. Im single and choose to be for now. I think I am set in my routine too and if the right person came along, then maybe I would consider marriage, etc, but for now or later, I am also at peace with being single. I am also attractive and a good fun person.

    Single is okay too and i think we all believe if we dont hook up with a mate by age 25 then something is wrong -but NOT SO! both are fine and one can find meaning in life..

    and yes, you’re young and your thinking will c hange but then again u may want to just date, etc. Time will tell. : )

    While you're young it's great. Amazing, actually.

    You pretty much have no restrictions and you can work on yourself as a person. (pursue your dreams, build character, etc.)

    I think you will get increasingly sad when you reach 40 though. All of your buddies who you used to hang with all the time would be settled down by then, you won't have anyone to chill with because they will all be with their wives. You can't make any new friends because your old and nobody wants to hang out with you..

    Living by yourself could make you a self centered person because there is no one around you to empathize with.

    (^ that happened to my sister when she went off to college, now she's a douche)

    The only thing you will be really devoted to is your job. Others will find you boring.

    If you lost your job what else would you have going for you?

    eventually you will get even older and die alone.

    Mike one day you will awaken to a world you could have never imagined. No family. All your friends are dead or sick. You having lived a selfish life, you have no one to be with in your later life. The time will come when you will want people to care. The children that would care so much about dad are not there because dad never was into kids. You will never experience a child getting up in your lap with their arms wrapped around your neck and say, Daddy I Love You! That same child is now grown and calls, comes, and loves you because you are DAD. All the times you have now is not worth one evening with your family. Since you have no family, you don't have anything. Your family, wife, three sons, two daughters, two pets, good neighbors, are what you would be lacking. You would be ALONE for ever. God Bless You make wiser choices. God Loves You. Go to Worship at church Sunday.

    If that's how it ended up, yes. Why would I want to grow old all alone though?

    It would be like living alone. Unless you had a cat.
