When you are single you don't get a shag.

Your chances of getting a shag dramatically improve when actually interacting with another person.

This is only my opinion, does anyone agree?

Can you not have a shag & still be single then?

Never bothered me being single and have at times gone 2 or 3 years being single. Wasn't until I hit my thirties and realised my life is passing me by and I have nothing apart from my flat to show for it that I have started to worry. My sister and brother have been in long term relationships and have kids, I have done neither. My last relationship of 6 months finished in April and since then (apart from a one week get back with the ex in August!)I have been single and hating it.
I would love to have kids as I adore them, but at this rate they will be pushing me around in my wheelchair!

Anyway, that's my feeling sorry for myself rant over!

Oh, sock puppets

If I'm ruthlessly honest then for me at the moment I am best off being single. I can't contemplate being in a relationship and I'm struggling to even care about my friends. I would really like to know why. I don't think I'm a bad person but something odd has happened and I feel very cold.

Right let's clear this up once and for all.

Should the title have been this:-

Is it better to be single?
Is it better to be single with the odd fling?
Is it better to be in a relationship?

You can't clear this up once and for all.

Everyone is different and they have different wants and needs.

None of the options have precedence over the other.
