Initially you will feel lonely, because by the same time all your friends would have been married and they would rarely find time to spend with you. So you will hunt for new friends and push yourself to be accepted in a social group. But then you will realize your insecurity opens door only to creeps because most of the good men would be taken by that time.

Realizing this you will gradually start separating yourself from the people you wanted so badly just to fight your loneliness. This phase lasted only for 2 years to me. Once I realized this, I started looking out ways to keep myself happy. I shifted to a tier II city from metro I just wanted peace.
I stayed in ladies hostels and started exploring the place myself. Took public transportation, shopped alone, visited nearby places all alone and had dinner alone in restaurants.

By this time I also learnt how to keep men at bay without giving them undue advantage. One of my tactics is to never keep a warm, smiley face. A grim face and a rude reply to any guy who advances me for anything sometimes I have hurt some really good guys, but it helped me alleviate the societal rumors that people generally spread about single ladies. For girls, I had the opposite approach. This helped me create a new friend circle along with a few good men.
Now comes the most interesting part - Being Independent. By now, I am almost too independent to look forward to others. Too independent, that I cant even think of committing myself to anyone and build my own cellar. After 4 years in that city I moved to another city, though not a metro but highly diverse.
I am here for the past 3 years.

People atleast mind their own business here. I am very rarely asked about my marital status or relationship. I am a pro now in identifying a jerk. So, I am a cordial being here. And as usual Independent and free. Had been like this for the past 9 years and hope it will be the same in the future too. My only focus in life is my parents I visit them once in 3 months and my career.
My parents, who were very conservative earlier disowned me when I broke my marriage have now opened up themselves looking at the way I am living my life. They are now satisfied that their daughter is bold and independent.
Back to nature
I am looking forward to live with them once my assignment here is over. So that should answer your question. A few of my friends in the friend circle also include single ladies like me but trust me everyone is now so addicted by their independence that no one is ready to get into any relationship. So I have edited it. Now there are times when I wanted someone to lend their shoulders to support me emotionally or any other emotionally intimate more than just sex moments. I used buy flowers for myself whenever I feel someone has to gift to me. Go to room… cry out my heart all alone… talk to any of my friends available… get up and pick up myself… go shopping, eat, watch movie,sleep and lot more.
Happy… Again go shopping, eat, roam and sleep. And for sex, yes initially I craved for it but understood its all about tricking your mind. But just keep your mind away from thinking that. The last time I craved masturbated for sex may be when I was 32 or And I personally feel it is easy for females to control the urge than guys. Some people here have commented that I should consider adopting kids.
But please understand the reason of life may differ from person to person. And I have different goals for life. May be you find your life changed with kids but for for me it worked even without having one. I can just make a decision without any strings attached to it and I love the way it is. I m not advocating singleton. I am just saying that it is possible to be single. I have people telling me that they love to live the way I am.
But if it happens, be strong and you can always take it up.

So may be one day when I come out of the shell, I will open up myself and get out of the anonymity: She can but I wouldn't recommend. Since we are social animals we cant avoid people and when we meet people they judge a lot, even if they know it's none of their business. Second reason is every damn guy tries to take advantage of such women. In Indian society woman is woman's enemy.
The women you hang out with or women among your relatives and close circle spread rumors about you. And even if you dont care about these, you'll feel vulnerable , lonely whenever you see your age woman warmly hugging her husband or kissing her kid. That loneliness gets compounded with age.
It may be too late before you realize you wanted to get married. At that age you'll only get divorced guys at best. I understand if you are suffering from heartbreak and are against marriage but even if you dont want to go for arranged marriage, wait for few years and then start meeting new guys and see hiw you feel about them. Give it a time if you think you are not ready for marriage. In that time develop a perspective about your life and your life partner. In short, answer for your question is - no it's not going to be easy for a guy or girl if they don't get married.
Wait for right time. Don't believe in other answers which encourage being single.

Trust me and wait for the person whom you want to grow old with. Meanwhile progress in your career , do social service etc Yes, you will become stronger, independent, confident but what you will get. Instead of asking this thing on quora go and explore the world. Talk to some elderly person. I have seen many peoe on quora saying living alone is good, divorce is good and i feel they are only defending themselves in their eyes.
Somehow they feel they did the wrong thing.

Right now you may be young, you may have friends to hang out with but ultimately they have their life too. They will get married and after their children grow up they will be busy in their own life. Then you may regret this. Do not take decision on the base of other people experience who are unknown to you and you even do not know whatever they are saying is truth or not.
I have no idea why people spread such negativity. Negativity will only spread negativity. We have seen people in western countries where people suffering from loneliness going on a shooting spree in schools,malls only because they did not have anyone to share their feelings. When a person is alone , he is filled of haterd by seeing others happy. This is human nature and if you are human, you simply can not fight this.
Go to a counsellor or psychologist. I have faced very bad things and i have got some wonderful support from my family and friends. If you are hindu i will advice you to read "Bhagwat Geeta" to boost your morale. Once there was a young boy working under me who was raising hsi younger brother too he was barely 18 that time and was getting around rs as salary. He had lost his whole family within 2 months span and his neighbours had helped them.
He used to tell me that he want to study further and that's why he is working. I really wanted to help him but i was not so strong financially but such people gives a lot of inspiration. Only few people are born will golden or silver spoon. I wonder why eveeyone is inspiring to go alone instead of fighting it out. Living alone means quitting. No one is perfect in this world. Ups and Downs will come and go but hope will always be there for you.
Am going to live single all my life …so yes and i will never listen others specially on a topic like marriage.. Not all humans are meant for marriage like me.. In terms of gender relations and equality, India is one of the most backward countries on earth. The fact that India attempts to present itself as a liberal democratic state, makes this all the more disturbing and ironic. They have to do all this before Indians can even begin to dismantle the sex abuse culture which is rife across the country. They will tell you after each second that why you should marry.
They will ask on every single day to your parents about your marriage. They will point fingers at you for not marry. They will put hundreds of allegations on you for not marrying. They will make you realise that you are getting older and becoming a burden on your own parents. They will make you believe that a girl should have a single dream to marry a good person.
You have no right to build your career because your sole purpose to be on this earth is to marry. The Indian society is preparing girls from their birth to dream about marriage. Learn how to do household chores. Learn how to maintain yourself. Think twice before pursuing your ambitions. If a man or woman does not marry then he or she will have some practical problems.
Our parents will not live forever. Friends, relatives, and colleagues will be busy with their lives. Just see marriage as your duty and do your duty without any expectations - just as our holy Gita says. Men or women - the key to happiness and serenity is accepting marriage as a duty and filtering out unnecessary romanticism as portrayed by the greedy money-hungry Hollywood and Bollywood. If a girl no marriage, she can survive,but live with sacrifice. Amazing just amazing…i just don't understand why you need marriage? Marriage in India is not living with your husband its living with his parents and you are forced to abandon your parents, not verbally they force, they reveal their annoyance through body language.
In , they sold or gave away most of their possessions and struck out on their bold off-grid experiment, roaming and camping in the vast, remote countryside. It was Miriam who carried the big hunting knife and knew how to use their Steyr Mannlicher. Without electricity, digital technology or a watch, the experiment was supposed to last a year. They give me the tour. Their home is a khaki-green tubular three-person tent with two sleeping bags in it, sleeping pads and two rucksacks neatly packed with rudimentary supplies.
Food and utensils are arranged on the grass: Miriam shows me her bow and arrow — it is beautifully polished and colossal. We were waking up with pains in our stomachs from trying to keep warm. While it was happening she felt sick, and yet the fried possum tasted delicious: Peter tells me how when English peasants settled in New Zealand they brought hedgehogs with them. They practised seeing in the dark with night walks. We can move from the stone age to the big city and back. Certainly neither of them wants to return to a life of All Mod Cons: The question Miriam often gets asked by her readers is how they can afford to live as they do.
A married couple spending 24 hours together! Her only other serious boyfriend wanted the big house and kids: She thinks the key to a good relationship is a desire for self-knowledge: Miriam completes the thought: Most men my age are already buggered.
The age gap can be difficult to ignore; Miriam mentions it several times in her book, mainly because other people keep bringing it up. They say it would be impossible to live in the wild with kids. So are kids a trap? You have to settle down. That was the end of their freedom, they say. She looks at Peter: It leaves men feeling constantly unchallenged. Of course you can. Peter turned round and put my arms over his shoulders.
I took a deep breath. At this time of year, in winter, most people left the mountains alone and stayed inside until the spring. Back at the hut, I rekindled the fire and made tea, which I carried over to Peter, who was sitting on a rock near the river.
Yet after my initial elation, an uncomfortable feeling was creeping to the surface, a kind of realisation that sent a flash of panic through my body. It was the one thought that clashed with all my fantasies of living peacefully in the wilderness: What was I going to do next? The long-drop was built 70 metres from the hut. It was a deep hole with a wooden structure on top; the only thing about it that resembled a modern toilet was the white seat. A soggy roll of paper sat in the corner. I lifted the lid and looked into the hole. The smell was so horrible that I quickly closed the lid.
