Do you want to be in a relationship?

if so, why? (Just a general question I just want to see if people prefer being in one rather than being single)

Being single is a great thing, your life is literally yours. However, once you find someone you love, there's no thinking about it. You want to spend every moment with them and make them happy. You don't care as much about your life being yours, it's like your life merges with someone else's and you form some sort of continuum. Some people want relationships for sex or for whatever other reason, but in my opinion if that continuum doesn't exist then there is no point in it at all.

That is honestly 100% true well like in my opinion. I would really want to value and treasure someone if i were to be in a reltionship with someone I love. I dont think they'd be any point if theres no actual feelings involved.

No

I gain happiness from helping society, working towards something greater than just one person.

Yes, I'd love to be in a relationship but since I only like long term relationships I am waiting till next year when I am in uni :h:

In fact I have gone without it for a while now since I needed to focus on my studies :s-smilie:

No, I don't actively seek it. If it naturally happens, then it happens. They make the best relationships.

not right now, no
Maybe it's kind of weird but I always just feel awkward in relationships. I feel like there are way too many expectations, and I hate how people end up abandoning their friends for one person. A friend of mine was in a relationship with this guy, and whenever we slept over and he wasn't there she'd stop talking to us and just text him. Her personality changed entirely as a result of this guy, and in general it was a very uncomfortable time.

idk, they're just a lot of effort and pressure.

I would love to be in a relationship, but in this mental state I am, it is not a good idea. Can't take care of myself, don't mention for a life partner on my side.

would like to in the future but i feel like its another one of them things that sounds great as an idea but actually isnt when it happens.
plus i need to fix myself first and have a feeling i'll probably end up being manipulated tbh

Don't think so. I have an instability of my mentality, get depressions whenever I am feeling upside down, whenever I am feeling so weak to accomplish my everyday life, I am full of doubts about myself.
