It's nice to be single because you can almost do/buy everything you want without asking permission to anyone. But the time will come that you'll be lonely and you'll hope that someone is there to take care of you. Being single has its advantages and disadvantages.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also was in the Internet dating machine for years. Now I just write ads for my friends. I nursed my departed husband for five years before he died. Most of the men who answered my ad were at least ten years older than me. As my friend Arlene used to say, "You haven't had the good years with them." Frankly, they were too old for me. My family lives into their nineties. Mu favorite uncle died at 100. I decided I better live my life and not be burdened again with possible sickness of these older men who might not be as lucky. I loved this quote - "I’ve discovered ME and PERSONAL SPACE and FREEDOM." I feel the same way. Dear Patti -

I've been spending all of my time INTERNET dating. It's been awful. I've been "single" for ten years with the exception of two somewhat long term relationships after my divorce. It's been about 18 months since my last breakup and I belive I've finally got it. Just prior to discovering Stephen Hopson (cousin of a friend of mine from H.S.) and through his site this post I was FINALLY getting it. Single is FINE. I haven't gotten to GREAT yet, but it's become just fine. I relate to not having to look over my shoulder every time I laugh too loud, spend money foolishly (or sensibly, even), take an impromptu trip or decide to go visit a friend with benefits. I have finally and ALMOST comfortably learned to "fib" to my three adult children about my whereabouts and my bank accounts. I've discovered ME and PERSONAL SPACE and FREEDOM. I work hard and I'm back in school. I have all new, better, wonderfully evolved friends. It's different after 20 years of marriage and raising three kids as a stay at home mom. At 54 I have more energy (though a few more aches and pains), look better and feel younger than I did during those years when I had to explain where my new purse came from. I am ME. Finally.

I had children early and although financially it was a great struggle, I am glad I did. Somehow, you survive. I have young grandchildren now and I'll tell you that you are right! Running after them is a young person's game! Dear Tiger Tom -

The quiet house. No TV, no noise, the peaceful feeling and relaxed atmosphere." I've been married - and now single for quite a while. I am not sure I could get used to someone sharing my space again - although I enjoyed being married at the time! Dear Gina -

I’ve been married – and now single for quite a while. I am not sure I could get used to someone sharing my space again – although I enjoyed being married at the time!

I was so intrigued to hear that the question asked is how many children do you have? Thanks for sharing your viewpoint and please come back again! Dear Carol -

If you don't think marriage is for you, don't do it just for the sake of it. I am reasonably sure now that trading having children, for a career, is a mistake. Get married young, have your kids ASAP so you'll have the energy to run after them! I think if you just 'live together' and use artificial contraception you risk barren years and possible break-up, as there is no sacred bond. Some people are natural bachelors and spinsters. They know in their hearts they wouldn't be good parents. That's fine too. My opinions: If you want children, get married as early as possible, and have them.

Encouraging me to be thankful of my situation right now. While I'm single, I can do a lot of things, it's my opportunity to become a better man, a better father. That's what I'm going to do now!
