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's ok to be whoever you are, as long as it makes you happy! It's your life to do with as you please, so if being single makes you happy, go for it! :)

It is a matter of personal choice and circumstances. If you are certain about yourself, it certainly is.

Yes, as long as it makes you happy! I personally feel like one doesn't need to be in a relationship with someone to feel fulfilled and to have meaningful connections with others.
I don't see why there's something wrong with becoming single forever. As long as you're happy on your own, there's nothing wrong with that.
Yes, I am asexual and me being single is okay, I would rather be single then in a relationship because not everyone needs to have someone in their life.
If a person has all the capacity of getting married... Then it is certainly not a good thing to stay single forever... Infact, it is bad...

It is okay but you see if you are single forever you start to get crazy and go insane.because of loneliness
Humans are not be meant to live alone.. But there are much going in this world now. Many people are living with a family that can cause nothing but pain to them. That's why more and more people are trying to live single and alone forever. But living single is a choice you can make only if you don't have any other option left. So, before taking that decision, be sure that there is none waiting for you to be in their life desperately or none loves you more than yourself. If you are sure that there is no one made for you, just for you, then you can take the decision to stay single forever. May you be blessed with someone who would love you more than yourself. :)
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 it is. Each person has to do what is best for them. The "gender norms" have evolved and changed and I don't think every woman finds it necessary to be married. Single people can actually be happier than married people in bad marriages.
I don't think that it is okay to be single forever, however being single for a long time is completely okay. We are a social beings and sometimes we seek comfort in others, and our significant others is a part we can separate from our life and I think we need them for a support where our family and friends can't give :)

Of course it is! It's your life, you choose to do whatever you want to do with it, remember that. It's yours, own it.
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.
Only you can answer this question. It's not a bad thing to be single, but you have to ask yourself is it really what you want and are you really happy with this decision. Some people are the type that just has to have someone up under them that's not a bad thing either, but when you become to dependent on one specific person you may not get the reaction that you want from the other individual. You have a mind of your own it's not like being single is against the law or something. It's all up to you, but always beware of the outcome when it comes to taking this action.
being happy with yourself is paramount to happiness in general. when you love yourself you are capable of anything - so make it a point to find solace in your self before you place too much into another. xo

Of course! My aunt is single and she's amazing. And single guys too x enjoy life. It doesn't matter if you're in your 20s or 70s. Being single is great, every relationship status is fine. I personally would rather be single than with someone I don't care about, or love. Feel free to dm me xx
Being Single should be by choice and if that is so then the answer lies within oneself. There is no age limit to get married.

Being comfortable in your own skin is what is important and if that is single, all on your own, or if its attached to another person in a healthy relationship, it is all okay! We are in this world on our own and nobody is going to be responsible for our happiness but ourselves, so if being single and rocking your own life on your own terms is what makes you happiest, go for it!!!

Yes! There is plenty of social stigma against being single that can pressure you into being into a relationship with another person. But being single does not equate to being lonely. If you're not comfortable with someone on that level if intimacy, there's nothing wrong being on your own.
Yes it is! All that matters is that you are happy. Who cares if you are single or not? All that should matter is YOUR happiness.

It's completely okay as long as you feel fine with it. Being single doesn't mean that you don't have any social contacts or family. You're still valuable human being that is important to others.
I think its ok to be single forever, we are all human and we have the choice of freewill. If its your choice not to want to engage in a romantic comitted relationship through your life thats your choice, theres a good chance your life will be filled with friendships and perhaps romantic trysts and you will be more fulfilled than many who settle down and get married and stay partnered forever
Relationship status does not make a person. It is entirely up to how comfortable you are with yourself.
Yes it is. It is okay just because your single does not mean you are any less of a person. Just know no matter what as long as you love yourself and and have family and friends you will never be alone.

Sure it is, why wouldn't it be? You just have to ask yourself if you're okay with it.
It differed from some people to others, but .. As long as you've got friends who care for you and love you with the same quantity ... Why not ? It's absolutely okay
