It's perfectly fine to be single. You don't need a man to determine your happiness. You're your own happiness, if you can't make yourself happy by doing things alone what makes you think a guy can give you happiness? You need to learn how to be happy with yourself in order for a man to give you happiness.
Some people may not ever want to be in a serious relationship, and that is absolutely fine. It is up to you to decide what you want out of life. You should never do something to make other people happy. Live life the way YOU want to.
It is COMPLETELY okay to be single forever. Being single is a choice not a responsibility. And believe me, it takes the same amount of courage to be single as it takes to be in a relationship.
Not at all, i mean you have to select someone to share your feelings and thoughts. one should not give up hope in finding his/her life partner.
I think you know yourself the best. If you choose to be single, that is your choice and no one should judge you for that. You are so worthy of a life full of happiness, and if being single is what will make you happy, then you will be happy! :)
it definiatly ok to be single forever there is no rule in society that says you need to be in a relationship
yes , it is very okay to be single forever ! you don't need a significant other to make you feel complete .

of course it is! but remember nothing is forever, and you have the power to do anything you want. If you're happy with being single then its especially no problem!
Yes! There are some people who do not want to be in a relationship, and some people don't actually experience romantic attraction at all. These people are called aromantic. Even if you are not aromantic, it is perfectly fine to be independent! Kudos to you.
Of course it is! If you want to be single it is your choice. Don't let anyone tell you being single is bad because being single has so many perks.

Most people equate having a partner with being desirable and happy. Some even base their own self worth on whether or not they have a relationship. This isn't healthy and no one should desire a relationship for this reason. It has been said that you must love yourself to love others and I believe this to be true. Relationships aren't simple; they flesh out new insecurities in people and show the character flaws of each person. If you are single and happy, good for you! If you are single and unhappy, don't believe that a partner will change any perceptions you have of yourself. It's okay to be single forever.
If that is what you choose, of course it is. Its not up to someone else to tell you whats ok with what you choose in life.
Well if that's your choice and you're happy with it then why not. I think it's better to be single than to be in a relationship that doesn't bring you complete happiness. We have to be able to love ourselves and to be independent before we can have a healthy relationship
To me, thats okay to be single forever. Unless I find the right one in my life, otherwise, I would not want to get hurt just because of others.

Yes it's OK because not everyone needs a relationship to be happy. If you don't want one then that's perfectly fine because it's your life and you should do what makes you happy.
That all depends on you. Society is ever-changing in what is alright. However if you're alright/not alright with being single, who is to say? Find your pace, and be content with no matter what side you're on!
It is perfectly okay, not everyone needs to or wants to be in a relationship. If you enjoy being single then live it up.

Well I would leave it to the persons choice because some people would rather be alone and that can be totally fine!

I don't find anything wrong with it. But some people, such as parents, expect you to get married and have kids. And it's not about what they want, it's about you.
That's your choice in life some people are happy being single some people need to be loved to have a purpose in life

If you are happy to be alone, it is okay. But i think everyone need a Listener in all of his/her life.
It is totally okay to be single for as long as "forever" can be described with. You can wait until the right time that you initially feel that you can get back on the dating course and don't eve let anyone push you into it.

This is a difficult question to answer since everyone is different in their opinions on what they wanna do with their own lives.
of course, if you want to.
yes it is. Its all about Prioritization like what actually want for the self. you are the only person who better understand your challenges and circumstances where u exist...
well it is but then again its not because you need some one in your life that makes you happy and you dont have no one else you can fall back on that one person

Yes- I have seen nuns that have never had a relationship in their life. It's ok to be single forever if a nun or priest can be single forever.
