The single life is not for everyone
Being single can be fun as it leads you down the path of self-discovery and allows you to embrace who you are. But where there is light there is also darkness, as not everyone enjoys being single and alone. For many this is a lonely feeling that can only be cured by a relationship.
What scares you most about being single?
Mica, 26:
It’s not scary for me. I really don’t think being single is such a bad thing. Yes, there are times when you get lonely, but you just have to find things to occupy your time.
Jason, 30:
I hate being single. Worst of all when all your friends are in a relationship. When I go out with them I feel out of place. I fear not finding the right person and going through life being the odd man out.
Merissa, 38:
What scares me about being single is the thought of settling for someone, not out of love, but out of the fear of being alone.
Ailene, 27:
I don’t think I have a fear of being single. I just don’t want to be single forever.
Kraig, 33
I enjoy being single. I’m not committed to anyone and I’m free to date anyone I want.
Claudette,39:
I’m almost 40 and single. Don’t get me wrong, I love my age and I’m proud of my accomplishments, I just hate knowing that I’m at this stage in my life and I haven’t found someone to share not only my love, but also all I have. It would be nice to be planning a trip on the North Coast with my man, instead of planning a girls’ trip. I long for the companionship of a man. I love my girlfriends but I can take so much and no more. I don’t want to be in my 50s and alone.
Alysha, 28:
I fear being the lady with all the nieces, nephews and godchildren with no children of her own. I can get a child with a man but I want this man to be my man, my husband, not some random sperm donor. My future child and I deserve more than that.
Toya, 39:
I have to admit that I think about this all the time. I like the peace of mind that being single brings, but I miss the intimacy of being with someone. My biggest concern would that being single for so long, I might not know how to function once I get in a relationship. I already feel lost in the dating world as it is.
Delvin, 42:
I fear the idea of being by myself, being that old man that everyone has made up a story about. I dread not being able to find the right woman.
