If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel?
If I ended up that way I would probably cry a lot. I hate being alone, since I am alone 99% of the time already. Everyone does need human contact.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?
No I don't. If I do then they never said anything.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?
Only because that is what the the celebs are doing. When they start living in reality then maybe most of us may as well.

But on a completely different note, there are people out there who really do just want to fall in love and get married and be happy and they are called hopeless romantics.

I'd be alright, being tied down or being in a serious relationship for a long time can be a really big drag sometimes.
Sometimes it's nice to be able to focus on yourself.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?

I don't know anyone who is naturally single at all.
Though I have friends that try to be naturally single just so they don't seem weak and "needy"
In my friends group, practically everyone is dating someone but I'm the first one who got into a relationship out of all my friends in grade 10.
In grade 10, everyone was all like "Oh wow, you can't go without being single at all!"
But once they saw how happy I was I guess the natural side of jealousy kicked in and they're like "It must be nice to have someone."
I've always kind of been the relationship person but I don't mind.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?

Hell yes.
On twitter (or any other social networking site) , there's way too much of the whole needy crap posts, especially with female users.
You always see covers of magazines talking about tips to get a date,
almost every movie has love interests, even if it's just sex,
and I usually see my friends get pressured into relationships by their parents sometimes.

My boyfriends brother is 24 and never had a girlfriend. He thinks he is fine that way, and his parents don't find it a problem either.

I wouldn't want to be single for the rest of my life. I want someone to share my life with, and who shares his/her life with me. Someone I can care about. And who cares about me. But this also could be a very close friend.

[ImSoWhiteLOL]

I really don't know D: I'm 17 and I've never had a boyfriend before, so maybe (I guess? emotion_donotwant )

[oTrissa]

What like asexual or people who prefer to rip & dip?
I mean I could totally understand not wanting to be tied down by one person forever. I don't think I could handle anyone for that long, but hey I am not 100% into monogamy.

[Dikskum]

my bfs mom has been single ever since he was a youngin'. although i don't know if she's naturally single or if she just kind of gave up or something.

ive never looked for a relationship in my entire life and always got out of them asap when one was starting to form. but my boyfriend and i are very compatiable, we've been together for almost 4 years now but if i never met him id probably still be single and i wouldn't care

[Metroid Dread]

ive yet to meet someone naturally single by choice but im sure they are out there

[Captain Say]

I'm kind of in the middle I guess.

After a terrible 6-year relationship, I was pretty content on the idea of being single, at least for a very, very long time.

But then I met a boy, we dated for a whole 2 weeks. I started to actually have a crush again, he dumped me for his abusive ex. I don't want to go back, but at the same time, sucks liking someone.

I just know I'm not going to date for a long, long time.

[Kaeth]

No, I don't think I'm naturally single by that definition. Although I don't need to be in a relationship and I'm much happier being single than enduring a crappy one just for the sake of it, I would like to be with someone when I get older and have the whole marriage, children, growing old together thing.

If I don't meet the right person, then I'm happy to be single (and hopefully a couga playa) then. But I would prefer to be with someone very special.

If you ended up being single for the rest of your life, how would you feel?
The mindset I'm in at present? I really don't think I'd be that concerned. I'm happy being single - I really am, and I see myself staying that way for a long time yet. I understand there are plenty of benefits to being in a relationship, and plenty of reasons to be in one, but it's just ... Never something I've yearned for. Even when I have been in relationships, they sort of just happened. I was apathetic towards the idea of being in a relationship even then, but I figured I'd give it a shot, see what happened. Still feel the same way. If someone comes along, they come along, but I'm not going to go out of my way.

Do you know anyone who's "naturally single"?
I have a feeling that I qualify ... Other than that? I don't know anyone. Everyone around me is convinced I need to be in a relationship to really be happy, which just isn't true.

Do you think our society is too obsessed with getting into relationships / falling in love / getting married?
Not sure, maybe because of the idea of the typical 'family' - most of the time, we come to believe that family life is happy and fulfilling and what we should strive for. Admittedly, I've grown up in a pretty typical family myself, and I don't think it has any bearing on how I think - it's more gut feeling than really even thinking about it. We're supposed to Strive for companionship. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, just that it's not for everybody. And looking on the more cynical side of things, for every couple that's willing to spend a ton on their dream wedding, there are always going to be a multitude of people who are going to make a ton on it.

I have come to terms with being single. I know of people who are single and old, which society should leave them alone about. I see nothing wrong with it.

Through most of high school and before that I was just always single. There weren't many "fish in the sea" if you will. Most everyone I knew were all paired off or found someone from another school. I felt rather alone and left out. I felt like the oddball- like something was wrong with me. I had nothing to contribute to such conversations about what you were doing on date night with your boyfriend because I didn't have one. It felt so lonely. I also didn't have many friends so that didn't help and the few I did have ALWAYS had boyfriends.

Needless to say in high school I wasn't "naturally" single but single mostly because I simply didn't find the man for me until later. I'd never want to go back to being single. I really love my boyfriend and I love being in a relationship with him. I most certainly wouldn't want to spend my days alone.

[DigitalRhythmz]

It should depend on the person, but most of the time, I'd say it doesn't. If you are okay with being alone, chances are you are surrounded by "friends" that you consider going no further than friends with. If you crave attention, likely you have few friends (notice the lack of quotation marks) and constantly seek more than what you have. To be naturally single would be difficult, however I have found that people that keep busy or generally have a large deal of work to do, tend to be okay with being alone. They may seek company, but not attention.

Personally, I'm fine with being alone, but that's most likely from consistent dissapointment in other people. Not to say that people like me can't be approachable, they just won't mind if you leave them in the shadow while you pursue relationships to make yourself feel better.

[Zunkie]

This. This is so what I am.

- I plan to be a career-orientated chick. If I'm alone, fine. But I'll be busy doing s**t. If not, sweet.
- Yeah, me.
- Yes... I just want a friend to chillax with, travel, and do business.
