Single Or Taken??

Which is better to be?





I'm in my 20's and I have a long term boyfriend. Most of my friends are single. Some by choice, others not. My friends are single by choice, ask me how I could be tied down. My other single friends wish they had a relationship like mine.





So, what's better. I'm content in my relationship, but I just wonder. On TV, being single is (sometimes) glamourized. Is it really all that great? Does look like it?





What does everyone think about the situation?

Single Or Taken??
It all depends on the individual...some people are comfortable and secure enough with themselves to be alone and single ...while others are afraid to be alone(insecure)...and then the people who didn't realize what they had until it was gone..I could go on and on...but just look at your friends ..see what kind of people they are then you will know why they feel the way they do about being single or in a relationship..
Reply:I think everyone should do what makes them happy. Being single and being taken both have their positive and negative aspects, you just need to decide what is right for you.
Reply:Pink,





It's all about what pleases you at this point in your life..... do you like the stability? To you want to not know the person you'll be having dinner with next week? .... Always remember ...A bird in the hand ...is worth two just trying to get in the bush.





Be happy
Reply:I think it depends on the person and what their needs are. I have friends who are dying to get a boyfriend to 'hold them through the night' and I have other friends who like having their boyfriend, and some who want to be with other people. It just depends, if you feel like your missing something out there, I can't really say you are, you can still talk to other guys and get to know them.
Reply:taken,my friend.
Reply:Why let your opinions be swayed by the boob tube?





Make up your own mind. Are you happy where you are? If so why change it?





Again. It's not their life. It's yours.
Reply:i was "tied down" at 20 and then i was divorced and through a couple relationships and now i am settled down but looking back i realize i was not and (definitely he was not) mature enough to really know what direction i wanted to go in....take your time and use protection or that decision will be made for you.
Reply:Single and lovin it i am in no rush to find my love one but if it comes it comes. but so far i rather be single since i have alot of things going in my life.
Reply:I know that this is horrible, but I will make a comparison about relationships using cars. When you're single, you can look around as much as you want, for that one car(I call it flirting.) You haven't made a purchase yet, so you can still look. And if the new models come in, then you can enjoy with great ease. When you have your car(your car, or spouse, or boyfriend/girlfriend) may be top of the line. But soon newer models will come in. Do you get a newer model or stick with the one that you've broken into? The one you are comfortable with? The point is that single people are always looking for a relationship. Its fun to look, but in the end, it is nice to have someone.
Reply:If you are happy with each other then nothing else matters. Everything on TV looks more glamorous than it really is.
Reply:i was married more than six years and am now single. it was nice in the begining, but now i wish i had someone special in my life.
Reply:don't throw away something that is good, the grass is not greener on the other side... people who question why or how you could be "tied down" are lonely and jealous of the companionship that you have with your boy friend.
Reply:HA beeing Single i wish i had a girl all alone feeling like no one cares that being Single for you its no fun and hurts been Single for 18 years IT SUCKS
Reply:well i am 19 yrs old and i have been single for 19 yrs.. it sucks. i feel alone a lot and whenever my friends go out with there gfs or bfs i feel like a 3rd wheel and i hate it.. i have a few other friends that r singe and they dont seem very happy. the happiest ppl i see r usually married. but then again, the most misserable ppl i have seen r married. so as long as u find the right person, i would say it is better to b in a relationship.
Reply:your choice not mine and please ask something else ok?
Reply:In your 20's - definitely single. Figure out what you want and who you really like to be with.





The only right time to settle down is when you're ready and your partner is too. Does not depend on age.





The divorce rate is pretty scary, don't you think? Nothing is perfect but if you can avoid a divorce, that would be best.





Don't let anyone tell you what to do. Situations on TV are purely hypothetical. Your heart will tell you. You ask questions and that's the right thing to do.
Reply:taken!!
Reply:I think you have answered your Q. People varies. Some just like to be alone, untied, while some are otherwise. Depending on your comfort. If you are content with a relationship, then why worry about other peoples'. Sometimes, people glamourized it a bit to camoflage their real self.
Reply:right now im taken. but just recently i was single and wishing i had that guy talk to me and show his love. i was jealous of my friend's long term relationship with her bf. but now that i have my own everyone coos over me and him. i think that being in a relationship is better because you have that one speacial person with you to occupy your time and to make u feel speacial. but its different. when i was single i didnt have to worry about being hurt or thinking about what my next move should be. or obsessing about my looks or if i have something in my teeth =]. It sort of depends on the situation. Its better if your single if your not crushing hard or getting over you last one. But if you are crushing hard then being a relationship keeps your mind off other guys and makes u feel better.
Reply:neither is better or worse. whatever you are content to be is the answer.
Reply:I think that if you are in ur 20's and have been with ur boyfriend for quite a while now and are happy with him then I believe that, that's best! don't think about everyone else, this is ur life, ur decision! if you are happy with him then stay with him! and be proud that you can call him your boyfriend! Because who knows he might be the one you stay with forever!
Reply:id say a relationship cuz u always have someone who will be there for you and all that.
Reply:Don't believe what you see on TV. Believe me all girls that doesn't have boyfriends say that they'll rather be alone, but deep inside wish they had someone. Stick with your relationship, because maybe you will not find a guy that are like the one you are if you drop him. Guys doesn't like long term relationships so if you have a guy that are into long relationships he is a keeper.
