If you think it's good to be single, that may mean you have gave up on having a relationship. Not a good thing for someone who wants to have a relationship. You either want to be single or in a relationship. Not in the middle.
Oh, I don't know about that. I think it's fine to enjoy whatever state you happen to be in, whether it's single, dating several people, dating just one person, engaged, married. It's good to be happy with life. I've got a theory that someone who is happy and involved with different things and open to new experiences is likely to be, and to be able to find, a better partner than someone who is constantly worried about being single. Also you have to know your own worth, not settle for someone just because that someone happened to come along and you were desperate to not be single any more.
I was single long enough to reap the benefits of it: to finish my education, travel, save some money, live in a few different places. I learned something from every boyfriend who came along; there is one in particular I have to thank for teaching me the ins and outs of baseball strategy and turning me into a life-long Red Sox fan.
When I finally met my husband, I was both ready to settle down and think about getting married, and not desperate to do so.
Now I'll admit I never particularly yearned to have a child. If I had felt that, I might have wanted to marry earlier. But as it was, I was quite happy being single for a good long time. (By single I mean "not married;" I certainly had some very good relationships with different boyfriends along the way.)
