What are the benefits from being single for the remainder of my life?

I sorta agree with you. I'll be 25 in two months and though I have had several boyfriends and have no problem meeting men, I think I will be single too. Now, some of the ones you named, I'm not to sure about. However, there is nothing like the joy children can bring you. I do plan on adopting. Not to sound mean or shallow, but what do you look like? I'm only asking because people like to say, "Its whats on the inside that counts", that's garbage and you probably already know that! I say this because, when you meet a person, what do you see first, their physical appearance right? And usually right away, you're either attracted or not. And if you're not, you don't give that person the time of day. Also, do you socialize on a daily basis. That gives you more confidence. Here's a trick I do before I go out and potentially meet men. Since you already know the type of questions we all ask when we meet, have your answers ready beforehand. Such as: What do you do? What are your hobbies? What is the one thing you would like me to know about you? Also, be comfortable discussing , contrary to popular belief, women love to do so! Good luck, and maybe we won't be single forever. But I do get in this slump from time to time when I miss quality companionship.
