Be single and lonely, or in a relationship you don't particularly like?

Which one would you rather be?

I know some people are really dependent on a boyfriend to prevent them from going through those lonely phases. They would rather be in a relationship for the sake of it, even if it wasn't with someone they particularly treasured. I have a friend who feels forced to stay with one person until a better person comes along, just so she doesn't have to go through a period where she has no one...

But personally I'd rather be single and lonely, because I've discovered that it's very unfair to the other person, to be in a relationship if you can't put in enough effort to stay committed. If you don't truly want it you won't dedicate yourself 100%....so it's much fairer on the other party I think if you don't give the illusion that you will.

I'd rather be single and lonely I guess.
but I wouldn't really be lonely since I have friends, lol. (:
It would seem wrong to be in a relationship for the sake of it, playing with someones feelings sucks alot, lol.

[Mannosuke]

Loneliness is for the weak. Pre-occupy yourself and you've essentially turned the first scenario into a good one and you can kiss the 2nd one good bye.

I'd rather be single and lonely indeed.
When I was younger I did get into a relationship because I was .. desperate? And it lasted 2 weeks because I started to feel guilty.

[hobobear]

god, those kinds of people are so needy...
i rather be single and lonely.

[me_maoh]

Single and lonely coz it's a waste of time and money for the both of you.
Besides, it'd be easier to get the person you want when you're single rather than "clinging" onto someone else until you actually meet that person you want. and they're like "Oh, you're already in a relationship" and BAM, LOST YOUR CHANCE!

[b.changg]

I'd really rather be single and lonely,
I have my friends and family to cheer me up right?
(:

[Regina Rae]

Ehhh, either one really. They both have their good/bad points.

[gotoAndParty]

I don't particularly agree with the mindset of going into a relationship as a means of curing one's loneliness. It kinda sounds... needy.

So I'd much rather be the first. It's not unhealthy to feel lonely sometimes, that's what friends are for.

I would rather be single. But hey, being single doesn't equates to loneliness. You still have your family and friends around or keep yourself occupied with various activities. Although there may be some difficult phases in your life, try not to depend on someone else too much. In fact, this can lead you to become a stonger person.

I think it is better to enjoy single life while perhaps at the same time, look out for potential relationships

[c a t h e r s]

^ i was going to say that.

i don't see being single as being LONELY. i'm perfectly happy right now

[xxvictastic]

psh. single and lonely.
i`ve been doing it all my life.
hah. well. i`m only 14.
but still, i hate when people just get into a relationship JUST because they want a
boyfriend/girlfriend.
it`s hurting the other person because they actually might really like you &
your just using the person, just so you have someone by your side.

[forgottenmemories]

I'd rather be single than stay with someone I'm unhappy with. Being single doesn't necessarily means loneliness, you'd still have friends and family that will still be there for you.

[rectitude*]

I would rather be single. Being single doesn't necessarily mean you're lonely because you'll still have your family and friends. People who are in a relationship just b/c they want a boyfriend/girlfriend are just so desperate, I really don't understand them.

[Humilious]

i'd rather be single and lonely. why put your time into something that won't work out in the end?

[dare2move]

uh... single and "lonely" for sure.
i don't think that if you're single automatically means that you're lonely.
you haven't been dating since the beginning of time, does that mean that when you were 6 and had no boyfriend, you were "lonely"? >>;;
when you're in a relationship that you don't like, the feeling's much worse than being lonely. you have to pretend that you're in love with somebody you're not, kiss them and feel nothing--all out of obligation. it's like you're trapped but you don't know how to get out because you're obviously incapable of relying on yourself. to me, that's weak and kind of pathetic. not only are you stringing along somebody who might actually be in love with you, you are forcing yourself VOLUNTARILY to play this ridiculous charade because the thought of being labelled as "single" is too... scary?
sorry for the rant, but i know too many girls like that and they piss me off..

[beatiingheartzx3]

i guess i would rather be single and lonely... (but i have friends, so not really lonely)
no one's feelings' should be played around with, cuz all of them are precious.
(corny, i know! but isn't it true?

i know a guy tht would rather be in a relationship you don't particularly like.
he would just play with the girl's feelings, knowing it, but not feeling the same way
he played with a lot of girl's heart, and seriously, i just wanna punch him in the face for it.
-(im not one of them tho) THANKFULLY
he just wants to always have a girlfriend, so tht he doesn't seem lonely and pathetic.
(hes above average and thinks he's all tht)

but anyway... yea...
srry

I don't really get lonely, there are too many people around me already. But, I would never want to be in a relationship with a girl I wasn't crazy about. Relationships require time, effort and affection, none of which I can see myself giving a lot of to someone I'm not that interested in.

[onewaylove]

as john teshed up as it is, i'd take the second option because it could possibly grow into something better. but it depends on the circumstances really

[xo_sugar_ox]

i'd rather be single and lonely. if i was with a person i'm not really interested in, i'd only feel uncomfortable and i'll end up hurting the person i'm together with. being in an unwanted relationship will only cause more damage and end up breaking friendships

uh... single and "lonely" for sure.
i don't think that if you're single automatically means that you're lonely.

took the words right out of my mouth!
