Add to FavoritesLiving the single life, or being tied up in a relationship, which one sounds better?
It really depends, if being in a serious relationship, and one is serious and the other is just trying to have "fun" then your just going to end up being SINGLE again, and getting hurt. If your single and your having "fun", and fun always leads to a beginning of a relationship. The person that is living the single life, no matter what will eventually want to have a relationship, and the person who is tied up in a relationship would SOMETIMES feel as if they want to be single again. These feelings are all normal. We're human, we feel different emotions all the time. That's why we always end up being single and tied up in a relationship.
Being tied up in a relationship is not always bad, people experience different relationships all the time. There's always good times and bad times, but what relationship doesn't experience that, right? Who ever said that we couldn't have fun with the same guy/girl all the time. Relationship is what makes a girl and a guy strong. It's always good to have someone there for you, someone you can call and tell your darkest secrets too, someone who you can trust and feel secured around, someone who will just laugh at the stupid things you do, all the happy and joy is the best part of having a relationship. It's a fulfilled feeling. I believe that you have to find the right person to want to keep a stable relationship. People feel as if they need to be single because they haven't found the right person to experience a great relationship, but once you find what you were looking for, RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE BEST. So living the single life is all fun and parties, right? You can date whom ever you want, without any worries, going to parties and hooking up with people you don't really want to see the next day. Being single sounds fun, At least for some it does. Others enjoy being single, not just because they want to go out and date or make out with who ever they feel like. They just enjoying being alone, not bothered, no relationships to worry about, when hanging out with friends, their cell won't be blowing up 24/7, or them blowing up their boyfriends/girlfrien ds cell. No worries about where he or she is, or what he or she is doing. Relationship free is always fun for a while. When your single you live it up, no? Most people that i know, right when they end a relationship, they call their friends, and the first thing on their mind is PARTY. Some singles they want to get over their past relationships, so they think if they party and hook up with somebody new, or just get stupid drunk, It's a happy story, But Love and Lust is never a happy ending story. So sometimes it's cool to be single, but just know that after you get tired of being single, your just going to want to be in a relationship again, so why not just keep the relationship? There's no point of hooking up with so many people, and having a bad reputation, bad memories and horrible regrets. If your in a relationship take breaks from one of another, trust me your going to want the person back eventually, that's depending on your relationship, I can understand that, if the relationship was really not working out! Then you should go on ahead and be single, have fun but have fun in a proper way enjoy the single life, then find you dream boy/dream girl. He or She is out there!

Single
Living single and being a couple are things that every woman goes through. Both play an important part in our lives, but they each have their own time, before you can be a happy couple, you have to be happily single.As someone who has experienced the angst of feeling like you have to be in a relationship to fit in, I can understand the battle that unhappily single women go through; But what most of these women don't understand is that before you can be in a stable committed relationship with someone you first have to be in a relationship with yourself.
How would women ever know what they what in a man if not for the many bad dates they have to go through? But while dating is important, something more important is having a chance to become comfortable with yourself. How can someone become confident in themself, comfortable in their own skin if they didn't have the experience to grow within themselves and really get to know themselves? So many people find their identity in someone that they're in a relationship with, and when that relationship ends, they feel like they don't know themselves anymore; could it be that they never really did?
A stable and happy coupleship means that each person is secure enough with themselves so that if the relationship were to end they would still know themselves, and not feel the melodramatic sense of "my life has no meaning".
Being in a relationship definitely has it's time, after you become comfortable being with yourself. When you're young it is the time to have fun, live your life for you, and not worry about someone else, and what they think of you, or what they're doing, or wheather they really and truley love you. Many men have the right idea when they're young. They don't go steady with someone until they know they are ready to be in a relationship. That's not saying that many women don't have the same ideas but so many young people think that they must be in a relationship or face public defeat.
The time for being a couple is when each person is ready for the committment and for most people that isn't until after they have "played the feild" and discovered what they want in a partner and then spent some time single figuring out just who they are and what they really want. Not necessarily in that order either.
Being young means having fun, feeling carefree, and living your life, you shouldn't be tied down to someone carrying all of their baggage when you can't even handle your own.
