How much time have you spent being single?

Since the last "we might get married" relationship its been almost 15 years.

If you're currently single: is it by choice or circumstance?

The main reasons I am single are that I dont go out and socialize enough to find someone and I haven't really tried to find someone because I didn't feel I was in a good place to be in a relationship.

Do you / did you enjoy single life?

I am ok being single but it would be nice to find my other half or at least have a stronger social network.

What are / were the pros and cons?

Pros: freedom, not being with someone that made me feel worse than being alone

Cons: can be lonely, a healthy relationship is more appealing.

Is / was partnership a goal of yours?

Eventually I'd like to find "my other half" but I also know that there are worse things than being single and I'd rather make meeting my social needs my goal rather than not being single the goal.
