I want to stay single as I find being single is much more comfortable rather than marriage. But as a girl i find it difficult. As my relative and my parents suggests me that after their death no one will be there to take care of me. Also for the security purpose I think I should marry. As it's tough for a woman to survive alone. Suggest me how a girl can survive in this society being single.

Why do you want to stay single?

I want to stay single because I want to live life in my own way. After marriage there are more restrictions. I am also scared that what kind of person my husband will be. As my age is about marriage and my parents are searching a suitable partner for me. Yet I have met so many boys but didn't find them compatible. Secondly there is no one in my life with whom I can marry. So still I prefer to be single. Otherwise I would like to wait for mr. right or Mr. of my choice.

I bet it's tough, but then it give you time to go out, be free, do whatever you want. Meet people.. see if maybe you DO meet the right guy. But, no pressure because you don't need anyone. All you need is you

I agree with your opinion. It's really tough to stay single. specially for girls it's really tough. I am also scared about this from the purpose of safety and security. Now I am staying with my mother and all my brothers and sisters are married. My mother is also scared that who will care me after her death. According to the society norms one must marry. Being single needs lots of efforts.

You could still survive even if you are single. Have you ever thought of adopting a child? Well, if you don't want to be in a relationship then give your attention to other people. I know you would find your Mr. Right.

I would relocate if being single was so hard. A fresh start can be just what you need to have a good life. The only reason that people put so much emphasis on marriage is because that's how it's always been. I've never been married, and I want to stay single for as long as I can. I don't see what the big deal is.

You should only marry if you're inlove with the person and you want to share your life with him/her forever. Otherwise you'll be better off being single. As long as you have a stable job, savings, and can take care of yourself, you won't have a problem with living alone. You can stay in condominiums where there are security guards so you don't have to worry much about security.

You should do whatever it is you want to do.

In my opinion, you cannot plan to marry... you have to be in a relationship and in love... it has to be something you want. Clearly this is not something you want or are ready for at this point. That may change, or you may choose to be single forever. It really is your choice.

There is nothing wrong with staying single, no matter what your parents or relatives tell you. Our parents care and worry about us and want to make sure we are taken care of for our whole lives. But we also have to think about our happiness and if that will come from living single, then that is what you have to do.

Marriage is a life long commitment, its not something you can choose to appease someone else.

And as far as living single, yes it is difficult, but many people (men and women) do it and live happy, successful and safe lives.

This is where you rely on your friends.

If you want to stay single but not be alone, surround yourself with friends, and have fun.

Don't give into pressures from your family, just enjoy your life the way you want it to be.

^ Great advice!

What I said before was dumb.. I never answered your question I musta been out of it or something lol. Anywho.. I think the best way to survive being single is to reach out to those you know; family, friends and see if you can stay with them or maybe you could move in with a roommate
