Being single or being in a relationship has its own advantages and drawbacks. For me, I prefer having a romantic relationship.

Obviously, being single is freer. For example, you can do anything you want without asking your boyfriend/girlfriend at first. As we know, man and woman are from different planets, there are always arguments which is not good for your health. So no one’s going to piss you off if you’re single and you will be happier. However, it’s not always good to be single. You may feel lonely sometimes, such as eating hotpot alone, hanging out alone on Valentine’s Day and so on.

Well, being in a relationship will be totally distinct from being single. The first different thing is that you’ll not feel lonely anymore. There’s always company at your side which means you have someone to share, to talk, to hug. You’ll feel double happiness because of you two. Even though life is difficult, you have support from each other. Certainly, there’re bad times too when you are together with someone. You may quarrel when you have disagreements, you may give up something you like for another person.

There’re always up sides and down sides whenever you are single or in a relationship, what really matters is how you get along with yourself.
