Hm, for me I'd choose 'being single.' I don't know, haha, there are less worries, less distractions (not in a mean way, of course). Although I may feel lonely at times, I find being single much easier and able to enjoy life more! And of course, that's just my opinion. One may get really happy in the beginning and stuff, but as the relationship continues, problems start arising (ex. jealousy), confused feelings.

What do you guys think?

i LOVE being single!!! so freeeeeeee. lol. i spend a lot more time with my friends, and i won't have to worry about forgetting an anniversary or something. and no more evil parents.

and about being held and told im loved, i get that from my parents, and friends. it seems more comforting to have a lot of people care about you so much than just one.

well, I have to differ from the bunch. I would rather being taken for 3 reasons. 1) Im already taken LOL.... 2) just like liquidbluac1d said, its nice to have somebody to hold and tell them you love them (besides you mom.... but im leaving mommy out of this!!!), and 3) when your freinds want to go out with thier gf's/bf/s you'll have somebody to have with you so you wont fell lonely of left out.

ive been single for a very long time (2 1/2 years) and sometimes the loneliness gets to you and other times its like whatever. i mean i rather be taken to know you have someone special right by your side that you can spend your time with. other than being like a loser and wishing you have that. i mean its fun being single becuase you dont have to worry about anything but sometimes involving emotions and being with someone DRAMA sets it. so being single and taken has its ups and downs....

hm. being single has its advantages.. already stated.. (i.e. more freedom) . but then again being a couple has its advantages if you dont really care about that 'freedom'. . . . iono.. i dont think its a choice to make?? your either one or the other eh? ..

whatever life hands me or doesn't hand me, I know it's what I need or don't need. I love not being single because it's fun and because it really teaches you alot of things through the stresses of it. The more I learn, the smarter about life I get. Being single on the other hand also helps you to be stronger at being lonely. It helps you focus on more important things in your life that you need to focus on.

I agree with you, being single is better. But to be honest with you, it's not like I've ever been "taken"... ermm.gif

I guess being single seems great, but being taken does to. You have to worry about alot of things when you're taken, but as well as single. When you're single, you have to elarn whether or not a guy/gurl likes you and all this drama and stuff, but also you go through alot of drama when you're taken too. SO all in all, it seems that either way, you win and lose. fallen.gif

Yeup same here... except with my friends im the only single one... so yeah i get to hang out with my friends alot more than when im in a relationship... juss sux though when ur the third wheel or ur watchin a movie wid ur friends and u turn to ur right to tell ur best friend thats soo cool and instead u see them two making out so you turn to your left to say that was cool to ur other friend but its the same thing.

The only advantage is when ur at the mall and a hott gurl with a hot ass comes along and you and all ur friend look and then they all get slapped by their gf's except u cause u dont got one lol

i guess theres 'goods' and 'bads' about being single and being taken.. lol u kno wuts best? a bf/gf that makes u feel happy, loved and free at the same time lols
LadyJade
i think being single is def. good. i meant teenage years, not forever. being single allows u freedom and more free time. it's also not a burden coz then u don't constantly think whether or not u'r gonna break up with him/her and u don't need to worry about buying him/her this or that. sure, having something to talk and care for u may be good but u got ur friends and family.

I think that you're right. Being single is awesome, and when you get lonely, that's what friends are for!!!

I durno. I guess being taken by the right guy beats being single.

I would say from the single point of view it would be sad, lonely, depressing, but happy at times cause you may see all these problems going on with all the couples. From the taken point of view it would be great cause you have someone to go to. If that person is abusive then i would go to a sweet person. But it would be great cause if you were to attend a school dance and your single then that's kinna sad cause you don't have anyone to share that moment with. So theres a little confusion but i hope you guys get it biggrin.gif

i love being single. i like being single when im single and i like being single when im not. (did that make sense?) being single u have more time with ur friends and family...and theres a lot less drama and stress. but the downfall to being single is like what others have said that feeling of loneliness. it just nice sometimes to have someone that u can talk to other than ur friends or family.

Well I love being taken... Being single isn't really that much fun. I mean, yeah you can go to parties and shit like that... But you can do that when you are taken too! I mean, being taken is fun! I love it. Having someone to hold you and tell you they love you is the best feeling in the world. (besides an orgasim...haha... happy.gif)

Sometimes when you're single, you want to be taken. But also when you're taken, you want to be single sometimes.

That's my conclusion. wink.gif

Being single. Unless you found someone of your dreams, then it's better to be taken by that person. rolleyes.gif

being single is lonely =/
missxxsweetie
if you want to be single, you have more free time to yourself so you could do anything you haven't been able to when you're in a relationship. but sometimes you might be lonely. Or maybe it's just that all your friends have boyfriends but you dont. That puts pressure on you, making you want to get a boyfriend.

Well, I am going to say I like being taken, but that may only be because I am :p It all depends, they both have their ups and downs...
ichiban
I would want to be TAKEN because it's really annoying being single when all your friends are saying, I GOT KISSED TODAY! or, I LOVE *** whoever

Also, I think being single is VERY LONELY and I think i experience more drama being single than taken ... i was taken ONLY ONCE [ and for a very short time ] and I loved the feeling ... i just want to be loved cry.gif

I wanna be taken.
Being single gets a tad bit old.

I chose being taken, because I just feel loved, and wanted. I like the attention, and If i'm single i don't fell like I have any of that ermm.gif
jimmyjackiechan
i think, well for me, being in college is the time when u are SO independent and I seriously don't want to be held down or restricted to do things I want to do. (Ie: not having sex with lotta girls, but I am taling about like, just casual gambling with the guys one night, or racing with buddies, and i dunno, play PS2 with guys and gals.) With a Girl, she's like, don't do this, and don't do that. I been with mom for the past 19 years, and I finally got away and I got another mom here to nag me, that's alright~

But I do get lonely at times and i just want to feel the warmth of a hold when i sleep. That's a feeling u can't get ne where else besides another loved one. (non family)

There's an interesting study done with white college students which shows that single men reported more depression then single women. Also it has been shown that unmarried women in US (5%) are physically and psychology healthier then married women (90%).

I could talk relationships all day _smile.gif

if your partner is a really good partner, he/she wouldn't get in your way but only make a good additions to things.

i'm actually happier than when i wasn't. =)
