I can't decide if I want to be in a relationship, or stay single. I like the idea of a relationship, and the reality of being single. Can't decide. I am THE worst when it comes to this. I always am more content with my life when I'm in a relationship, but I love the idea of being single.
It all depends on how much you like the person you're in a relationship with.

I took that into consideration, and I like her, but I feel like I'm way more into pursuing a relationship with her, than she is with me.

Forgive me if this makes absolutely no sense, but I guess that it all comes down to which option you want more. I'm sure that it changes and differs between individuals, but I know that for me personally, I found someone that I wasn't content to lose or let pass by.
I obviously don't know anything about your situation, but the fact that you're questioning this suggests to me that this person hasn't quite had that significant impact on you because otherwise this wouldn't be a question. As sappy as it is, you'd gladly give up the single lifestyle in an instant just to be with them because they mean the world to you.
Anyway, my post will likely take some criticism. Personal Life isn't meant to be this serious.

No man, I get it, I appreciate it. You're right, entirely. There would be no doubt. But the problem is I am willing to give up the single life for her, and even though she's interested, I don't seem to grasp her attention enough, and she spends time with some douchebags.
Not to sound like a shit-head, I date below me, and she dates below her. The problem is I'm not below her.

Overall I've been happiest being single. I just got out of a relationship and the end of the relationship sucked and I'm still kind of dealing with that, but I was much happier before I ever got into one. It's just nice to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want. I can hang out with anyone I want now and I don't have to answer to anyone or explain myself. I guess also the fact that my boyfriend was a little controlling has something to do with it too though. I just feel much more free now.

About a year and a half. After a year I went away for a month and then everything was a mess.
I'm surprised that single is losing by so much. Even though I did enjoy my relationship at first I still always missed being single. It's just so much more fun.

but being with the other person 24/7 is a terrible idea. That's what happened with us and then when I went away and we couldn't be together he realized that he didn't trust me at all when I wasn't with him....and I realized that I probably shouldn't be trusted haha.

Fuck it, trust has nothing to do with the other person. It's about how confident in yourself. For instance, I'm awesome, so I wouldn't be concerned about a girl cheating on me, because I'm awesome. Why would she cheat on be with someone, when she has me, whom is awesome.
Oh well I guess, at least you learned something I suppose. Fuck him for being insecure though.

Haha yea, I always told him he was insecure because at first he had no good reason to believe I was doing anything.
Relationship by far. You've got someone to do everything with, as well as still do whatever you want by yourself within the rules set by you and your partner. It's easier to save for things, make plans for big future events, and it's always fucking fantastic to have someone in your corner. Being single is fun for a while, but it's much better to be in a relationship. For me at least it is, some people stay single because it works for them. It all depends on the person I suppose.

I've probably wanted a boyfriend my whole life but now I'm kind of over that too. my roommate has been in a relationship consistently since I met her a year ago but it's been multiple guys, one after the other. as soon as she breaks up with one guy, she's got a new, even lamer guy within a week and she spends every night and every spare minute of her life with him. it's absolutely pathetic. I honestly think seeing that shit in my apartment every day makes me not want to be in a relationship any time soon.

i wanna stay single right now.. theres this guy ive known for about 10 years, that i love to death, and have the best connection and bro/sis relationship with, and over the past few years because i didnt see him for almost 2 years-ish (i moved to another town close by, and had no way to contact him but via IM, it sucked lol). and over the past few months ive been seeing him almost religiously (his choice), and fully realizing my adoration for this bastard (hahaha if you KNEW him, you'd agree) and im in a point in my life where i can see us together, and see how it would be a relationship and situation where it would make us stronger as people/friends if we got together. but at the same time its too risky right now because hes 2 years younger than me, and hes a womanizing motherfucker.. but hes different with me, and im a GREAT judge of character and shit and truely understand that kid like no other, yet we dont have that open part "green-lighted" to have a deep/personal convo about "us", we usually just fuck around w/ eatchother, but i can see that its more than that..
point is. i need to listen to my HEAD more than my HEART right now. im one to do the opposite more and get my heart broken in a milisecond, and its not worth that hurt and that break of a great relation with a person to give into all that... i think alot and im a paranoid person (as you can see how i type hahaha) and, im 100% sure one day soon/in 5-10 years we'll be together... its just that thing that will just HAPPEN, and i have to accept that. but im such a lonley person for alot of reasons, and if you knew me you wouldnt blame me but.. i love that boy dammit ya know...
so yeah. lol i see i need to focus on my education more than a boy.. a kid, a person JUST like me, tyring to live and accept themself and find themself, ect. i do see myself in him... but the differences are amazing. hes a fucking beautiful kid and its worth the wait.. but again as we all think in these situations.. iwantitNOW. lol

If you don't like her enough to know that you want to stay in a relationship with her, then you should probably be single.
I'd love to be in a relationship, but there's no one in particular I want that with right now. Therefore, I'm staying single until I find someone I want to be with. You should be in a relationship for the person not for the relationship because that's missing the point of it.

That's an awful way to view relationships in general. Just because she's terrible at holding one together, doesn't mean you will. How she, or anyone else for that matter, handles a relationship shouldn't have any pull on your personal experience.

No criticism from me.. I completely agree with you. It's completely dependent on the person you're in a relationship with. I've only been in one relationship (with an absolutely amazing girl), and it lasted a year and a half (it ended a few months ago). Yeah I'm single now, but honestly I hate it. I'd much rather be someone who can be there for someone and provide for them. Sappy? Maybe some people think so, but that's just how I feel about relationships

I'm not saying I wouldn't be in a relationship if the right guy actually came along. at this point, there are really no guys worth casually dating let alone being exclusive with. I think if you have the right person, which I never have, being in a relationship would absolutely be the better option. but my roommate.. that is so not the case with her. that girl is in relationships just for the sake of being in relationships. she is incapable of being alone and that's really sad and will likely backfire on her someday. I don't wanna be that girl. if a guy worth spending my time on comes along, I'll go for it, but until then I'd rather not waste my time on anyone.

See, how I look at that whole thing is... if you can keep things fun and not just take the settling route and being with someone that doesn't compliment your strengths, then you can really have a successful healthy fun long lasting relationship with ease. I mean it isn't always going to be flowers and chocolate candy and sex all of the time but it isn't going to be boring and suffocating as some might think. Honestly, you gotta just take the good with the bad. Everyone is different though, that's just my take on it. I personally love my life with my girl in it rather than her not being there.

haha yeah, I've been on and off with one guy and he literally said (and my friend and I quote it all the time because we think it sounds weirdly dramatic and funny) "we were never together. you have always been single your whole life." but I agree, there's just no point in wasting the time or energy on someone you don't even like that much.

I think I could as long as I didn't become one of those couples that are inseparable. not only do I have a lot on my plate right now, but I really enjoy just being alone for at least some portion of the day. on the bright side, I think being single is good for me as far as going to the gym. although on the other hand, the few weeks where I apparently was NOT in a relationship with that guy, I did swam laps every day so maybe there's nothing to that theory haha.

Always been the relationship kinda person, I like the feeling of having someone you can talk to about anything with. Best friends are great, but the intimacy that comes from a significant other is an entirely different feeling. The only downside to this thinking is I tend to jump from relationship to relationship without getting to know someone too well first, usually to disastrous effect. Luckily, however, I'm currently in a relationship that is nothing short of perfect for where it's at.

getting to see a hot girl naked on the reg is more than enough to want to be in a relationship

I still live in San Francisco, I just go to school in Duluth, MN. I spend my summers in San Fran. You're only about 45 minutes from me with no traffic! Haha. Do you go to school in the area?
I completely agree. No matter how 'in love' I might be with somebody, there's times when I need to be alone. I can't analyze music, watch TV, or do homework to full potential if somebody's around. Sometimes I just want to go to the mall by myself. Yeah, I really enjoy company about 4/5 of the time, but people need to respect one's need to be alone.

Before, I would of wanted to be in a relationship. Now that I've lost trust in the opposite sex, I'd just rather be single and not deal with the bullshit.

I've dated a few and had a crushed heart so I never really cared about having a bf or being in a relationship. It just wasn't a priority to me. Then I met this guy. I tried not to like him but it just didn't work. I fell in love quickly and now I can't imagine not being with him. He has been away overseas since November and I miss him like crazy. It is hard being away from him and stressful but I am able to communicate with him everyday. You can't help who you fall in love with and if a relationship can work for me then it can work for anyone. He is the one I'm going to marry. So basically your thoughts on relationships vs single life will change when you meet your true match.

that's so funny. although I was half expecting you to say some random suburb around here. so why Minnesota for school? I'm going to community college right around here. USF is actually one of my top choices to transfer to next year.
yeah, I know what you mean. I love having company but I just need time to myself. sometimes it's actually exciting to get home and have a couple hours before I know my roommates will be home from work.

Stay single, if you are pursuing the relationship more than the other person, its not going to be worth it.
Stay single, be independent and get all the booty calls you can.
Best advice ever.

Right now I would say relationship. I like being alone sometimes but knowing someone is there for you if you know what I mean.
Agree with this 100% my girlfriend is my best friend, and I can be myself around her. She's always there for me, and I'll always be there for her. But I'm a hopeless romantic, so what do I know. I just hated being single.
If my girlfriend wasn't my best friend I'm pretty sure she would've dipped out a while ago haha. I've done some incredibly embarrassing things around her that she just plays off that my ex's would've been all up in arms about because we weren't best friends we were just two people who got intimate together. It's so important to be actual friends rather than just hooking up partners. This should be obvious.
uhh yeahh sure, whatever you say.
lol.

Haha! Nope, I'm a big city guy. I picked Minnesota, because I love the state, I have family out here, and they gave me a shit-ton of money. Haha. What are you studying?
I know what you mean. I love having staggered schedules with my roommate, so I can just chill and relax for like 20 minutes. Haha. I've tried to tell other people this, and I get looked at so weird. It's awesome to meet someone that knows what I mean.

Overall I've been happiest being single. I just got out of a relationship and the end of the relationship sucked and I'm still kind of dealing with that, but I was much happier before I ever got into one. It's just nice to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want. I can hang out with anyone I want now and I don't have to answer to anyone or explain myself. I guess also the fact that my boyfriend was a little controlling has something to do with it too though. I just feel much more free now.
I feel very much the same.

If I ever get into a relationship that truly makes me happy and the person cares about me as much as I do them then I'll choose being in a relationship over being single, no questions asked. However being single and taking care of myself right now just seems a lot better for me. It's nice to just do whatever you want, whenever you want without having to cater to someone else. Especially if they're not worth the inconvenience.

I like the idea of a relationship, but would rather focus on my personal and professional development before getting serious again.
100% this. I've vowed to be single until I am at least done with college. I've been single for about a year now out of a three year relationship. If I truly want to accomplish all my goals, I don't have time to give a relationship the attention it needs. However, I do enjoy being in relationships. I've always been a relationship guy.

haha. sounds awesome. I'm just studying business right now and getting an associate degree in that while I figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life and where I want to go to school for it.
yeah, not everyone gets it. it's cool to find someone who does!

It depends on your personailty. I don't ususally do well in relationships unless I like them A LOT, because I'm very outgoing and openly flirty with everyone.
