involuntary VS voluntary single life

I thought it was really interesting in class on Tuesday when we were talking about the difference between being voluntarily single or involuntarily single. It intrigued me because it got me to thinking about my own life, and the times when I was single and those in which I was not. There has definitely been a time where it was my choice to be single, I voluntarily decided to live my life that way. But, unlike many of the reasons we discussed in class, my main motive was just to have a good time and meet new boys, rather than focusing on myself and my personal development. There have also been times, like the current, where I wish I was in a relationship. I wouldn't say I'm lonely, because I just don't think that that's the case, but I'm definitely not choosing to stay single. Many of my friends have boyfriends who they do things with all the time, and always have that one, constant person they can count on. I want that. However, I'm still having a lot of fun living the single life!
