Being in a relationship and claiming you are single to tramps you meet in the bar is the best option.
Never compromise when you can have both

Because everyone else is eating from the same trough and there's no sneeze guard.
Very unsanitary.

 Nice come back, that was greatness. I prefer the relationship, being single gets old REAL fast. Everyone is different, what everyone else thinks shouldn't matter.

They both have their upsides and downsides. If you're single you have more freedom to do whatever you want but it gets lonely sometimes. If you're in a relationship you have to compromise on a lot of things but you have someone to share your life with. And the sex is better. Sometimes.

True, single gives more freedom. But freedom to do what? Be lonely?
The benefits of a good, healthy relationship far outweigh the freedom.
Unhealthy relationships are another matter.

I've been single a long time...and I honestly love being single. I'm ok with the person I am. So, I don't need to hide me from me, with someone else.
I'd love being in a relationship too, if I was in it with the right partner.
So, it's pretty much the same either way, if you have the right 'relationship' with all involved, it's great either way.

Both are best, and necessary, at different times of your life.
Sometimes being single is better because it gives you time to work on you and enjoy yourself. It's especially better single after a break up when you need that time to regroup and get reacquainted with who YOU are.
At other times being in a relationship is better because you get to share all the things you enjoy with a partner by your side. All that self reflection helps to make you a stronger half in your relationship.

At the moment I'm loving being single. When and if I get into a relationship, I will be all for it.
It's not a matter of being single or in a relationship, its the way you personally look at life.
I prefer to love life wheather I'm single or in a relationship.
Both do have their advantages though! I like living in the moment and right now I'm single so I'm going to go with the flow and I'm not going to wish my life away one way or the other!

Lets see.
Relationship means you can go home and get a piece any time you want. You can have someone waiting on you and you don't have to go out in order to have company.
Single means you get off work and if you want to be with someone you have to sit there guessing as to which club would be best. Or perhaps a park, movie.... No guarentees.
Then...
Relationship means you might have to deal with an angry partner because you forgot to inform them you were going to be two hours late. The house might be dirty for one reason or another. You have to deal with more responsibilities. ect...
Single means you have no one to get upset with you and that dirty house is all your fault. The responsibilities you have are to your own bills. But you get to do things when you want and how you want without having anyone to say no or that they are too tired.
Heck both sounds good to me.

Well this is the first time I lived as a single for over 22 years, and I can't say much about the single life, I do like being in a relationship. I just wish I had more money, so I could make the most of my singleness, at least enought to go out and have some fun, and enjoy things like I used too, before my last marriage

Mindover, you will slowly learn to appreciate the little things in single life. It is a difficult adjustment to make when you go from one to the other (either way).
I have been single almost 13 years...and many things I have done would not be possible if I were still in that relationship.
Best of luck to you

Thanks sunny_bee, I've been on my own 1 month and 3 weeks. Doing all the yard work is crappy, but I go into my house and walk through my yard and say this is mine. That little bird in the back of my head keeps chirpping, how will you ever make it without a man, but when I was in my 20 and single, I was going to college, I had plans of doing something more with my life. Things I tried to do while married, but other responsibilities took preceedence. Again it the money thing.... it takes money to go back to college, go out, have a hobby, well I have a garden going, and I'm thinking about painting the inside of my house, I think keeping busy would be the best way to go.

You are still in the "settling in" stage. This is so new to you, and as I previously stated, the adjustment is extremely difficult.
But have hope, it will get better. Hang in there...you are doing it on your own and you need to congratulate yourself for what you are accomplishing now!
By the way, because I am a single mom, I didn't go back to school until my late 30's and in my early 40's became an RN. Tough road, but well worth it in the end.
