If you had the choice of being in a relationship, would you?

[Crispee]

Depends on the person, if it was the right person then absolutely yes.

Otherwise no, just being lonely doesn't mean I'm not picky.

 

[Ham_authority95]

No. I already have enough friends to keep me entertained and sane, even a few that I could have
sex with, so why go through all that extra trouble?

EDIT: Besides, I don't just go into a relationship with anyone...

 

[DaDrum]

i do love living a life alone, as i don't have a problem with the matter. but for the right person, of course i'd love to be in one.

 

[Lust]

I would.

The thing is, I'm broke.

Not a lot of people fancy that. >:l

 

[Flamezdudes]

Depends, i've never been in a proper relationship so i'd probably ruin it. Although it would be a good test run!

 

[JLML]

Depends on. If it's that person, then sure. But only if it's that person. And I'd like it to mean those ~10 000 kilometres aren't in the way any more.

 

[Ham_authority95]

No.

I don't want to be in a relationship, I think love is worthless.

EDIT: To add reason:

Relationships always in end, in death, break ups, or divorce (anyone who knows where it's from will get a high-five and a cupcake), and it will usually end in tears.

And it's expensive, and I'm a cheap bastard.

You can use that argument to say anything is pointless.

True, but different things are pointless to different people.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

Currently in a relationship, everything is great, I really love her. I would probably have given a totally different answer before, but now yes, If I had the choice I would.

 

[Mana Fiend]

While at uni, and poor, no.

Once I'm done, and have a job, I'll gladly take a relationship.

 

[Tharwen]

Yes, assuming the person I'd been forced into a relationship with was someone who I would have chosen anyway. I'd rather not find myself in the same position as Matt Horner.

[Nietz]

Yes, I would rather be in a relationship. Simply because the one I'm in now is as good as it gets, and it's going places.
Had you asked me 3 years ago, I would have said the exact opposite. Back in those days it was more about cheap thrills.

 

[Queen Michael]

Sure, it would be fun.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I'm newly married and I've been in my relationship for over 6 years now so I guess that sorta solidifies my answer, being single sucks. So long as you're with the right person, being in a relationship is phenomenal and worth pursuing and I'm quite happy with my gorgeous, geeky wife. The important thing to remember is this, relationships should be FUN and you should imagine them as fun, if you don't, it's time to reconsider.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Well I am already. It's pretty awesome.
Also, nearly everyone I've seen here who says they don't want a relationship ever is in their teens. I'm not going to lie, It's kinda hard to take them seriously.
Not that I'm saying there's people who genuinely don't want it, I think for the most part people say that because then they feel like they don't have to try.

 

[Sarmos]

No.

I don't want to be in a relationship, I think love is worthless.

EDIT: To add reason:

And it's expensive, and I'm a cheap bastard.

To quote our wonderful master Yoda, "Death, is a natural part of life."

But still, on the merrit of argument, here is my two cents:

I just recently ended a 3 year relationship with a girl I was pretty close to being engaged to. We had good and bad times, and I was happy to be with her. But in the end things didn't work out. Yeah it ended in tears, but I'm happy that I had those three years with her.

Now after 6 months alone, doing nothing but quick dates, would I go back to having a relationship where having a companion who actually MEANS something?

forgive me for saying, HELL YES.

 

[RandallJohn]

I would, but my issue is that people I'm interested in are inevitably never interested in me. The inverse is also true: I usually am not interested in those interested in me.

 

[kintaris]

Yes, I would be given an absolute choice. The times I have been in one have been the happiest times and though I'm not hung up on the individuals involved, I do miss the feeling of it.

Some people have large friendship circles, but I have a close-knit small group of friends, so I guess that makes me someone who would prefer to have a relationship rather than lots of casual dates or nothing at all.

I like having one single other person in the whole world who I feel most connected to. It feels more real than several smaller connections, although those are great too.

That being said, I wouldn't want a relationship just for relationship's sake. If that was the case I'd be in one right now. It still has to be the right person.

 

[Heatray]

If I found the right girl, hell yes. She'd have to be as easygoing as me, for starters. And not blonde. Or dumb. Or cynical.

Basically the kind of girl who only exists outside California.
