It is okay to be anything you want, at any point in your life. If you can do that without hurting someone

Yes it is as long as you're happy. But if you want to have a family or someone you could be with, then I suggest that you shouldn't. You may have missed the best part of your life.
It is absolutely ok to be single forever! There should be no shame in that. One advantage, is that you get to do what you want..when you want..and how you want.

Yes. Absolutely okay. there is no rule that you should be with someone or anything. A partner is good to have, but if you do not want to, its fine!
This is answer is based off of what you believe. For me, it is something I have come to terms with as perfectly fine, though I am not against finding a partner in life. Everyone is pressured to think that finding someone to spend the rest of your life with is a necessity and without it you can't be happy or live a fulfilling life. I believe happiness can be gained in so many ways and it can be done alone.
Many people are called to be different things in their life. Some were called to be religious, others were called to be married and have kids. Many people were also called to live a single life. Being single only means that for whatever reason, you can't commit your time to another person. This isn't bad. In fact, it can be very good. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to be single forever!
If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.
being single is a personal choice not everyone is comfortable with having a significant other nooe is entitle to tell others what is ok and not ok because its their own decision to make.
I think if your happy with your own company and have made this decision for yourself based on either past events or just because you do not feel the need for someone in your life its perfectly fine to be single forever. Contrary to popular demand people can be self sufficient and happy on their own.
you will never be single forever, and as long as you're okay with yourself and your friends, you will live in a perfect paradise.
Why one should have to live single forever??? You born alone also you die alone. Then why you want to leave alone??? share your love to the entire world. Breath as much as you can. Be positive!!!!

Yeah,you don't need anyone romantically to be able to live your life to the fullest.It's less feelings to get caught up into and you only have to worry about yourself
Honestly that won't be a great thing. You would need a companion at some point in your life. Everyone will need one .
As long as you're happy and satisfied, it's okay to do anything. Do whatever makes you feel happy regardless of what other people might think or say.
If that's what you want, then of course. Don't feel pressured to have a partner just because others have one and because others would judge you for not having one. But if you want to be with someone someday and just don't feel ready yet, then take your time and listen to how you feel and do things at your own pace. You might meet someone someday who'll make you want to NOT be single, but only when that time comes, should you take that chance. Don't do it unless YOU WANT to.

If that's what you want, of course, then it's fine, but at times it can be good to have someone in your life to be there for you, to love you, and to care for you.
It's totally okay to stay single. It's your own choice what's your status should be like and if that's what the person want they should do it.
Yes, if you live a life you're happy about then yes it's okay to be single forever. All that matters is you are happy.
Yes. What truly matters is that you genuinely love yourself. It's more important to be happy than to stress over a relationship. Do what makes you happy!
Absolutely. You shouldn't be with anyone unless you actually want to be with them. If you haven't found anyone that you want to be with, then that's perfectly fine, as long as you're not forcing yourself to be unhappy with someone you don't want to be with.
If you don't find someone you want to be with, someone who makes you happy, and who you make happy in return then it's okay to be single forever. It would be a bit silly to get into a relationship with someone you don't like just because society says so; you might even hurt that person in the process. So yes, in my opinion, if you don't find someone you want to be with it's okay to be single forever.

It is not wrong be alone, but we like to share a life with someone, everyone has the right to love and feel loved back.
Anything you decide to do is fine as long as you are happy,completely satisfied and you don't hurt anybody.

I do not think it is , in my opinion . we all need someone on our side for support and love and affection so that we feel like we are alive
Being single is never a bad thing! When we are single, that is the best time to understand what we need out of love, and more importantly how to love ourselves. Before you get involved with someone and try to love them, you need to love yourself. So, being single is definitely OK, what feels like forever might just be the waiting period before something great happens.
No,its no okay to be single forever.one should share things with a companion.its is good for stress and depression

It is perfectly okay to be single forever. Love yourself first and always first. Life is not about relationships. Relationships can be a part of life, but they do not have to be.
Yes. While we believe we need someone to love, we're more than capable of living life to the full. Having someone to love is just a bonus in life. If you're happy and comfortable with the way your life is, there isn't a problem. =)
