I think pretty much most of us have the notion that one we're older or have a stable job that eventually we'd start dating to look for a SO and eventually when the time is right that you'd eventually marry and have a family etc. But has anyone ever thought about just being single and not marrying at all. Most people(myself included) usually feel the need or urge to be with someone, but I was just curious if there's anyone out there who really doesn't plan on getting married or doesn't really care either way. Do you think you could live a happy full life without a partner by your side?

I have thought about it... It would be cool to be alone,I have to worry only about myself and there is no one to bother me if I´m moody! wink.gif But in the other hand..together would be easyer. Money problems would be less and company... And if I´m feeling myself alone,then there is my husbend,who will be with me...
Besides - I´m too weak too stay alone! wink.gif If I will find somebody who I love,then deffenetly I will get married !!! rolleyes.gif

I don't plan on getting married.
The only time i would care to get married would be if i wanted to start a family! (which i won't, i'm no good with kids = =wink.gif
I'd be perfectly happy living with a "boyfriend" rather than a "husband" o-o;; besides i tend to think marriage is just a troublesome contract T . T;;
A boyfriend can be a life partner too without the strings attached (the marriage contract) ~

I don't think I can ever live alone forever, I need someone to be there for me =)

I want to be with someone for the rest of my life and because of religious, cultural, and traditional reasons, to me, it means getting married.

I can't handle being alone anyway. I just finished college and sitting home alone searching for jobs while people I know/family work or go to school during the day is killing me.

I don't want to get married and I don't intend to. I've been living my entire life single so far and have been completely comfortable with that.

I do wanna get married someday, having a family with a husband and kids looks wonderful smile.gif..
Ok you don't have to get married to get kids, but a wedding itself also sounds like so much fun ~
Lol I'm scared I end up all like Bridget Jones though, being still single and people around you that keep nagging why you don't have a man yet XD..

To never get married.....I don't know, I'm not the type of person who likes to go out every night & have fun....or the type that can entertain myself from watching movies & doing some kind of hobby, etc. I don't think I would be able to live the rest of my life alone (or even if I lived with my parents).

I don't know if Marriage would be the answer, but I would definitely want someone to be there for me....and want to be there for someone else as well.

actually... i don't
i don't have any feelings to get married or even get a girlfriend.

it's not because i'm not emotionless or don't care of love.

it's just my situation. I don't think my situation will ever change. so in order to save my future gf's torment.. i rather not

Before, I used to be against the idea of being in a relationship and of marriage, especially -- mainly because of all the drama and problems that can come around with it. I see it in my parents, my relatives, and just... a lot of people who are married, and I don't ever want to deal with that.

But then... I find myself changing my mind about it as I got older. I want to fall in love and get married some time later on in the future. And I want to have a family one day, as well. However, sometimes when I think about it, it makes me go... No, that probably won't ever happen cuz I can't really see myself as a married woman or a mother (even though a lot of my friends tell me that I'd make one awesome mother, haha) But who knows. I'm still young. Still have lots to see and experience, lol.

I don't HAVE to get married. I would just love to one day. If I don't... then I don't. Haha.

always and forever seven

I could if it is the will of God. However, I believe that God has placed a desire in my heart to get married and to have a family.

When I was younger, before graduating from college, I never thought of settling down with a man and have kids, but now, I feel something is missing. I saw my two cousins married and gave birth to two adorable kids, which has made me want to have too, but when I think about being pregnant and going through labor, I just freak out everytime. It's getting more boring as I got older; the things I used to love to do are not special to me anymore--I don't feel the same way about them anymore. I still don't know if I want to or not. Marriage is such a pain to deal with. It comes with tons of responsibilties, which I don't think I'm ready to handle. If I could, I would like to experience it once in a dream to see how it is like. Haha...

Anyway, my parents don't care much. In the old days, they might care if I don't get married, but so far I haven't heard much complaints from them or anyone else that I know of. Although, they have not pushed me into marriage, they do want and expect me to get married, just because I'm a woman.

Actually, I never imagined NOT getting married..haha. I don't think marriage is a contract which is controversial with many people, but marriage should be everyone's own decision. Also, for me, my family play a big part in my life, so marriage and a family seem the route for me biggrin.gif haha, and also, in my own thoughts, I love the idea of my own children <3 (plus, I don't plan on having sex till marriage ;P so I better be getting married..puahahaha...just kidding. But seriously, marriage is your own choice smile.gif Do as you will as long as you're happy.

You don't have to at all. It's your personal choice and comfort.
I feel that some people are just better off not being in relationships and having a family of their own.
So if those types get married, it'll be problematic and may end up in divorce.

I would like to get married but if I enjoy my work and my time alone, I think I'll be content without the marriage.

I don't believe in marriage. I don't think that tying the knot with them is something that one should do to prove to them they love their s/o. I'm content enough to know that he loves me.

It's funny how many you say you don't intend to get married, but all the girls that I've ever met wants to....
