How does it compare? Better, worse, same? Weigh the pros and cons, and tell me why you answered in whatever direction you choose.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Tomorrow is another day
Being in a relationship for sure, especially this one. But I already told you that yesterday.

Being in a relationship hands down!
There is absolutely nothing better than being with your soul mate.Nothing.
Being single is a little fun at first,but it gets old REALLY quickly.Next thing you know,you are out 'looking' again.
I mean,think about it...
what do all your single friends spend all their time doing?
Trying to find someone.
Being single isnt all people try to make it out to be.
There are only so may parties and get togethers,only so many 'girls nights out' you can go to.After a while you realize that you dont feel 'whole' without that special someone there.There's something missing.....that something is the person God has for you.Unless you are called to celibacy,I think its true for everyone.

It is certainly much better than being single.
Though it is only so because of the real care and bond that exists between us.
It is hard for me because I am such an independent person, and as this is my first relationship, I am still getting to grips with how some of my priorities are really changing. They are no longer focused on me but they are changing so a lot of the time they are focused on him.
I suppose this is what God meant when he says that marriage is supposed to be a small glimpse of his love for us- that it is focused on bettering us rather than himself.

Being in the relationship I am now is far better than being single. When I was single, I longed to be in a relationship and now that I am in one, I don't long to be single again.

My relationship vs. being single can't be compared. To be in a relationship with my girlfriend has blessed me in every way and she makes me to a better person.

I like being in a relationship better than being single, but it doesn't seem extremely different to me yet. I guess that is because we were friends first and also because it is a new relationship and long distance. The main thing that is different now is that I am trying to have time with him every day even when I am really busy with school and other things. When we were "just friends", if I had a big assignment to work on, that basically meant we wouldn't be chatting that day.

I honestly enjoyed being single when I was. But, that was after I'd gotten out of a long-term relationship that was going nowhere. In the time that I was single, I grew in many ways- in my faith and relationship with God, in my independence and becoming more outgoing, building closer relationships with my friends...and I wouldn't change that for the world.
I think it all helped to prepare me for THIS relationship. To be the girlfriend/future wife I'm supposed to be. Because now that I am with Andy, I never wanna be single again. He inspires me in so many ways, makes such a positive impact on my life!

I don't know if anyone who's in a relationship would say "I'd rather be single" LOL. God has blessed me so much through my relationship with Chris. It's not just lovey feelings that I've discovered. I've definitely grown as a person, changed my priorities, etc. Chris and I have been joined at the hip since our first week together, and while I certainly enjoy my 'me' time every now and then, as well as girls' nights out and stuff, just the knowledge that I've got a man, who's arms I fit into perfectly, makes me feel whole...

If the relationship weren't better than being single, I wouldn't be in the relationship.
But that's a function of this particular relationship, you know? When I was single, I wasn't pining away to be dating someone. If it's not the right "someone," then I'd rather not bother.

Oh I've talked to a few. Mostly they were in real life though, because in real life, I completely ignore what they say, and I read their tonality and body language when they say it. Either that or they told me via IM, when it was confidential.
