RE: Why I Remain Single? : A Straight Talk From A Silver-Slate Single Woman
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Well I am not a lady but wanted to respond to this as well. I am in my 40's and after many years of jumping from one girl to another and one relationship that I invested 6 years of my life into only to have it fall apart and get my heart broken because of it, I have chosen to be single for the past 5 years. I'm not George Clooney or anything, but I am not bad looking.. I have opportunities to date but I am comfortable being single. I feel as though a lot of people try so hard to always have a partner in their lives even if this partnership doesn't even make them happy.
If I end up alone forever I am ok with that because I like me and my friends like me to. My dog REALLY likes me. I am not lonely.
I don't see anything wrong with being single. They always say "if you can't be happy alone you are not going to be happy with another person either."
This doesn't mean that you and I are going to be single forever, it just means that we aren't actively looking nor do we feel that the absence of a partner is something that makes us sad. I'm not sad and it doesn't look like you are either!
If someone comes along in my life I am not going to chase them away, but at the same time I am perfectly happy to be on my own. Good for you!
Hello, my friend @gooddream. I greatly appreciate your views on the subject, and I thank you for sharing about your own life as a single person. You hit the bullseye! Being alone does not imply loneliness, and neither of us are actively looking. In my case, I don't want to be in a relationship anymore following those events in my life.
The elderly pointed out I had a widow's peak, which was why my lover died or left. Well, I am not a superstitious person, but I just want to stop since I am comfortable being single. I also have a 13-year-old grandson who makes me happy. He never fails to brighten my day.
I also have a group of single women who gather to play our favourite activities like bowling or simply stroll around town and have a cup of coffee or dine out for a tete-a-tete.
I enjoy travelling around the countryside with college pals and reminiscing about our teeny-weeny escapades. ☺️ It lifts my spirit.🌷🕊️
