I suppose that it all depends on the relationship itself. Right now I am dating someone who is really fantastic, and it is just effortless. I don't mind it, but there are relationships that I would have rather been single for haha.

They both have their ups and downs. Single is nice because I'm big on freedom, but then again it's really great to have a companion for many obvious reasons.

it depends on person but i like being on relationship (maybe because i never have been liked to be single and i have love of my life right now)

I'm not sure what I prefer, I've been in love; still in love but it's all complicated. It'd be better to be single, so you can do as you please without worrying what your partner would think. But, also being in a relationship is great, that one person to love and both of you just depending on each other.
Being in love is practically indescribable, the kisses, the butterflies.. amazing

I've said this before, but I've never been in a romantic relationship. I don't really mind it so much, but if I found someone that I really liked then I might do something about it. For now though, that has not occurred and I am really fine being single because it's one less thing to worry about. ^^;

I love being single at the minute cause since i was 12 i don't think ive been single for more than 6months at a time.
although ive just recently met a guy that i could happily be in a relationship with.
i think it depends on the relationship.
how comfortable you are with the guy and things like that? sometimes being in a relationship with a guy is hard work

I haven't been single since I was 16 at which point I was still a kid in many ways.
So I don't really know what it's like

it depends on the type of person you are i guess.
its best to be single if you dont like having an ties, and have change, and theres less thinking, oo should i do this cos my other half might not like it!
then its best to be taken if thats just what drives you really, its hard to explain!!
its best to get both sides of it, i find when im in a relationship i want to be single and get that buzz of fancying someone and first moves and things like that, but if you experience being single then you appreciate being in a relationship so much more
hope ive helped! xxx

Because I am with a guy who is amazing (most of the time) I think its better to be in a relationship because you always have someone to talk to. My friends have all kind of abandoned me at the moment so its good to have him to hang out with and talk to.

I prefer being in a relationship... I did the alone thing for 18 years and it was nice, I was able to appreciate myself first and find out what I like and need to make "me" work... And then I met an amazing man who is now my fiance...
Love. How do you explain love? I have been sick for a week and have looked like and felt like crap - he looked me in the eyes last night and told me that I am so beautiful and he feels so lucky. I looked awful and you could tell he meant every word. Then this morning I woke up and he had breakfast ready bc I had to work and had written me the sweetest email about how he loves me and is so lucky to have me and our apartment and all of this.
Loving someone is just... it's knowing there's someone to warm you up when you're freezing, to hug you when the world seems to hate you, to wipe away the tears, or congratulate you on passing a hard test. It's the little arguments and the sweetness of making up, it's every smile and every shared look, the way you fit together like you could never imagine two souls could fit. It can make you feel higher than the stars and can also make you feel like you're ten feet under when something is wrong. It's when you start to worry about statisitcs like rush-hour accidents and burning buildings, and it's when 5 o'clock just can't come soon enough because you're going to be cooking with him...
Love is the single most amazing thing ever. When it's right, you feel loved, appreciated, safe, and like there's no one else in the world. Sorry if this was so long, hope it helped... and now if you'll excuse me I am going to bake cookies with a pretty amazing man

Single or relationship????
I'm not sure anymore!!!
A few months ago I would have said SINGLE. Nobody giving you headache, not having to look good each and every day, doing whatever you want......
But now.........a relationship can be good. Always somebody to talk to and giving you warmth and other needs that your friends can't give you!
So..............I'm gonna say.............I'm still confused!!!! :s

I would've said single a few months ago, but now I'm in a relationship with the most amazing guy I have ever met and it's fantastic!
I've had quite a few relationships before this but they never lasted longer than 3 months and I just gave up and preferred being single because it was much less of a hassle. Also, I went to a girls high school, so when you did have a boyfriend, you were constantly judged by other girls about what he was like, if he was hot or not and whether you deserved him. In the end, it just wasn't worth it.
Now I'm in uni, I have my life sorted out a bit more and tonnes more time on my hands. Then I met my current boyfriend (who, ironically works at my uni - don't worry, he's well within my age bracket
) and now I couldn't be happier!! He is like my twin, and even though there is a travel distance between us (about 2 and a half hours by train), we make it work and I really like traveling to see him, because then the time is special.
So I guess to sum up, it really depends what state of mind you are in as to what is better. If you're too busy with school or work and don't have time to worry about other people and would rather have the freedom, then being single is probably better for you.
But if you just happen to find that special person; the one that you would stop everything for just to spend some extra time with, the one that always puts a smile on your face, the one that looks into your eyes and calls you beautiful...then you should be in a relationship. 
Sorry for the essay, I'm kinda spilling my emotions out here because I'm still too scared to say this to him...*sigh*

im in a relationship, we are planning to get married in july 2010 woop woop
i think relationships are better as you have soemone there to talk to, share things with, cuddle up to, etc etc
but then singles good coz you dont have to worry bout leaving them out when you do things, cant fight (unless u want to with soemone else) etc etc
so really im torn but i do choose relationships .. i cant be without my fella, hate being apart, if he goes out without kissing me i feel upset (but that is coz i scared i never see him again, u never knwo when time is up) i think bout him everyday (not 24/7 tho)
i treat him as he does me
i shut up lol

There isn't a right or wrong or better or worse. They both have their ups and downs. I love my freedom and not having anything holding me back from what I want to do but when if I find someone, I'm sure he'll come with lots of qualities that will make both of us happy.
