What are some of the things single people do? I'm newly single from a relationship that lasted years and I am not looking for a man. I am concentrating on ME! I've never been single before, and I am working on my Master's Degree, and am a Science teacher for middle school. What to do with this time that is now my own?

You definitely pursue your goals of course and gradually get back in touch with yourself(e.g., those interests that you probably put aside and on hold). But pace yourself and spoil yourself with occasional treats. Make time for others but remember what is important to you and what is number one in your life after yourself. Go on little outings and trips. You have imagination so go for it. Somewhere down the line a MAN will come but breathe for now. LIVE! And don't allow negativity to rent space in your HEAD!!

Been there, done that!
You are in the best position in your life to re-invent yourself. For years, you were part of a couple and your emotions and subconscious became accustomed to that. Now, whether you realize it or not, there's something "missing".
Think about who and what you are. Concentrate a little more energy on things you enjoy doing. In my case, it was reading ... and getting more involved in area sports. In your case, it might be travel ... or finding and re-connecting with old friends.
I think you're making a great choice in chosing to go "single" at this point. It's time to get to know yourself and, more importantly, accept yourself and decide to *like* yourself. (That was the most important thing for me.)
Don't let your friends push you into anything. They're going to try, thinking it's not "natural" for you to be alone. (I think you understand what I'm saying.) Just tell them you want to try being single for awhile, because you've "forgotten how". They'll back off after hearing that a few times.
Resume dating when, and only when, it feels right for you to do so. Be open to opportunitites, but don't chase them down ... let them come to you.
Enjoy your "single-ness" now. Nobody is obligated to you and you're not obligated to anyone. There is a tremenous liberty to that. Enjoy it!

Wow. Im 23, happily single. I love going out to clubs, you can dance with whoever and no man is there to get jealous when you grind up on someone. I enjoy being by myself in my house, its relaxing, you dont have the pressure to be on everyday. I travel a lot, go to the beach at least everyother weekend (just got back from the beach) Have fun, enjoy yourself and dont let a man drag you down.

Grow into an old maid or old bachelor and get really nasty nose hairs growing out of yo face and, wrinkles, and by the way, you can't turn back the clock, sex is best when you still have bodily fluids available. But if yo aint lookin fo sex, cheer up, you have nothing to worry about, just get some fun on the internet, if your bored and stuff.

I became a professional dater for a while which was really fun...I would go on match and find a whole bunch of similar people and go out, hit the field and see what happens.....I did meet someone again that i didn't meet on match but let me tell you I loved the experience of figuring out weather or not that person would be compatible, and going to new places etc etc

Rather than dating, seek out other singles groups that do other activities as a group. No pressure to date anyone.
Decide what things you like to do for fun and see if there is a singles group out there. For example if your into golf or ever thought you wanted to try, then check out ASGA, American Singles Golf Association. There are chapters all over.

Good luck.

Sit back and think of the things that you always wanted to do. Traveling is awsome and just hanging around and doing things alone is awsome to. Start a new hobby that has always interested you but utmost fulfill your destiny to be your own person and enjoy life to its fullest. And don't be afraid to take a chance now because it only affects you. Its exciting lol

Do you have kids, if so, focus on them more. Also go to the gym, that's what I do. I'm happy being single too. I don't need a man bringing me down.
