"Okay" is subjective. It's what YOU feel it is "okay". If you feel like being single forever then it is okay for you. But there might be multiple reasons for this feeling. Like you could have fear of intimacy which makes you think that you want to be single forever. If you believe that you want to be single forever for reasons such as being afraid of getting hurt or rejection, then that's not healthy because you are suppressing your need to date another person. If you truly think that you are not attracted to any person neither romantically nor sexually then of course it's okay to be single.
If it makes you happy I don't see why not. There's not a rule saying you must date and there are no consequences for doing so.
yes its fine to be single. I know there are people out there that want people to love, I understand why. its the best feelings, to know that there is always going to be someone there and that you have your life to share with someone you love. but its not that bad that someone is single its about how they look at it, someone can say i'm all alone now im single.. not true! theres so many people feeling the some you are, so you not! and you have you family. you just need to think being single in a good way! it helps so much.

Yes. I mean it is nice to be love and be loved, however their are some people who are not willing to show feelings or intrested in love
If that's what makes you happy! You don't need anyone to make you happy, you're your own best friend
Yes it's okay to be single forever, because you focus more on yourself. You know what you bring to the table as well.
Personally I would want to find my soul mate but everyone does not feel the same. I feel if someone is comfortable being by themselves then its okay in my opinion.
Yes. One does not necessarily need another person to find fulfilment. It is okay to live independently. To seek out interests and build a life for yourself.

Of course, as long as it makes you happy. Personal happiness and fulfillment should not depend on another person, although there is also nothing wrong with strong relationships with partners

For me, it is okay to be single forever. Married is optional. Both have advantage and disadvantage.
Yes, it is better to be alone than to be with wrong preson lifetime. But we always found someone who is having near likes and dislikes like us. Always try to have pure,honest,sensible and mature relationship.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single and if you feel like you want to be then thats ok to, do what makes you happy.

It is perfectly fine to stay single. If that's what you want then go for it. If you are saying this because you feel you'll never find anyone keep your head up there is someone out there for you right now just might not be your time
Of course it is okay to be single forever! You control your own fate, it is important however that you are happy with the life you live and that you surround yourself with loved ones. Whether that be friends or family.
Of course. Your relationship status is ultimately your choice. If you choose to be single, be single. There's no requirement for relationship status.

It is perfectly fine if you are single forever, you don't need to depend on anyone else. All you need is yourself.
Well it depends on what you would like to do with your life. If you feel its the right route to go. Than go ahead.
Of course it is OK. You don't need a man/woman in your life to complete you. We come into this world alone and leave it alone.

If you want to be single forever, so be it. You are you and you do not need anyone to define who you are. If being single means being happy for you, then that's okay. Be happy and be you.
Its okay, as long as you think its okay. It's whatever you feel is best for you. However, don't hold back as having a partner can make you feel so much stronger and can enhance your life, its just finding the right one. If you can't find that one, don't over think it. You're unique and you deserve someone who's perfectly matched to you :) But whatever you want to do is okay. It's your life, you do with it what you choose! :) x

As long as you're okay with that, yes! Life is about what makes -you- happy, not what anyone else thinks they need to feel fulfilled in life.
Yes its perfectly okay to be single. If u prefer to be single its not a bad thing. Sometimes even some relationships are not good either. So its all depends on how u feel.

There's nothing wrong being single forever, our own company is enough to keep us lively throught our life if we know what we really want from it.
Yes it is okay to be single forever.
Sometimes it's a choice, sometimes it's not. Don't put pressure on yourself. The most important is to know who you are, to find the best parts of you and to love them. That's one of the 1000000000 path to happiness and it's possible to be single and happy.
It is not a matter okay or not okay, but it concern about what is YOUR GOAL in your life.
There is no problem to be single forever.
I have a relative who is still single up 'til now.
He is in mid 40s.
He is enjoying his life doing his work (a.k.a his hobbies)
He looks more happy and joyful than married people, occupied with their family life.
If you could achieve your life goal in single player, why not?
As long as you are happy and able to enjoy your life fully, there's absolutely no problem being single.
Find your goal in life and go for it.
Run for it
Single/Double? It's up to you.
It's your life
Definitely! It's all about what makes you comfortable. For some people that means being alone, and that's okay. You don't always need someone else to make you happy.
It depend, if single can you feel complete and happy, then its okay. its rare, but it possible! I would not recommend it, it just it is okay.
Of course! There is no reason to be in a relationship if you decide that relationships aren't for you. There are many people who decide to be "single forever".
