It's perfectly fine to be single, taken or whatever that make you feel happy. Being in a relationship isn't for everyone.
Everyone's different- some people simple don't care to have relationships, and that's perfectly fine. Anyone who tells you differently doesn't matter- it's your life, not their's. Live it how you like!
Definitely. Be single forever if you like. Remember youre here to make you happy, and if doing that makes you happy then go ahead.
I believe it is okay to be however you like as long as it makes you feel good. But if you want to be "single" for the rest of your life, do have in mind the fact you are doing this for yourself and not for others. As long as we keep comparing ourselves or getting someone else's opinions on our choices we will constantly feel we are missing out on something.
If you feel like that is the best option for you and if it makes you happy and doesen't represent any problem then I guess it is fine.

It is totally fine to be single forever. However you may decide otherwise as you still go on living. But not wanting to be in a relationship is as normal as being gay is.
There is nothing wrong in being single. Sometimes there are people who work better and do things alone than with someone else. It all depends on your preference.

Yes, because sometimes being in a relationship isn't in ever ones ability and sometimes being single can make you happy
Of course it is. No one has to find someone if they don't want to. It's all up to you. Your choice to do that
Its a deccision to stay single. .some says its a gift, sometimes its destiny, but whatever it might be as ling as you are comfortable and happy being single , nobody in rhis world have to right to say you shouldn't be! Its a lifestyle you can embrace beautifully as long as you are surrounded with nice people and independent to be who you are. . .Being single is wonderful!
It is my firm belief that everyone is simply born different, we have experiences that set us apart from others, our interpretations are highly unique, and we have ended up with core values that are our very own. Some people highly value position in life, how others view them; others just live by the beat of their own inner drums. No one dictated how you should be; you just are.
yes.
now somehow i need to find another 96 characters. lol.
but seriously. there are probably millions of single people out there that have made a decision to go that way. do whats right for you. and IF you dont want to be single forever and are having a hardtime finding a partner. remember theres a lot of people in the world. try to meet more of them!
It is absolutely okay to be whatever you want. If being single makes you content, then rock and roll with that! No one else's opinions or thoughts can define what is okay for you, you have the right to do that yourself : )
Yes. Being single is basically being in a realtionship with yourself. As long as you are happy, you dont have to feel pressured by society.
It is definitely alright to embrace your individuality, and although you may feel lonely at times, you'll be pleased with the path you chose for yourself.

Its up too your perception of your happiness . A person can be happy and be single forever for example ; a priest or a rabbi are single but stereotypical they live a happy life . Find your own happiness in life and surround yourself with happiness , positivity and ambitious
Yes, it is perfectly ok to be single your whole life. Being single can help keep purity and resist temptation. Also being single can eliminate stress that comes from relationships
It's okay to do whatever you'd like. If someone is happy that's all that matters. Be happy with you.
Allow things to happen in their own timing. Being single can be just as fulfilling as being in a relationship. As long as you are enjoying life that is all that matters
Yes, it is okay to be single forever. You know, many people have spent lifetimes of celibacy very proudly. :D

of course, as long as you feel comfortable with yourself and don't care what others think. have to be sure of yourself
You know yourself best. Some are content on their own and others are happier with someone. Everyone has a different opinion but yours is the only one that matters on the topic.
People say that it is important to have a partner but in today's world it is not impossible to stay single. People do it for different reasons- some feel they cannot settle, some cannot compromise, some for career and some because they are heartbroken. It depends on how independent and strong you are to be self sufficient throughout life. It is not just teenage or adulthood, being single forever means teenage/ adulthood all until old age and death.
If you want to be single forever, && you think it's okayy than it should be okayy :) The answer shouldn't come from other people rather from yourself. Because after all you lie with the final decision. Good luck :) .

I feel it is perfectly acceptable to be single. I am single now, and am content with my life and my circumstances. One can find fulfillment outside of a romantic relationship. You can find fulfillment in other close, supportive relationships, in your life passions, in faith/spirituality, etc.
If someone wants to be single forever, it is their choice to make. If it makes that person content and happy with the way they live, then there is no reason for them to not do what makes them happy.

It most definitely is! Those who prefer solitude over companionship knows what they enjoy the most and what is most beneficial to them. If someone chooses to be single forever then they knew the consequences and benefits of living a life without getting married or having a girlfriend yet they still made the choice anyways. They are capable of making the best decisions for themselves as no one knows them more than they do themselves. If they enjoy a single life then they should do whatever makes them happy. There is a lack of happiness in our modern world and we should focus more on what makes us happy even if it means staying single forever.
Absolutely. Whether or not you choose to be in a relationship is in fact a choice. If it feels like you can't find anyone, just remember that there are 7 billion people on the planet. At least one of them is bound to like you :) And your happiness should never depend on another person anyway. You can choose when to feel happy, and if that involves being alone, that's fine.
Of course. This is your life and choice. You do not need a partner to be happy. You choose the way you are happy. Do not let other people and society tell you otherwise.
