Why Being Single is Fantastic
Set up regular get-togethers with your friends. Well, now you have time to hang out and be a good friend in return. Getting together every week can keep you grounded and give you an outlet to vent, laugh and have fun on a regular basis.So take the initiative and start a weekly tradition. Sunday brunch, spa visits, Monday night football, anyone?
Flirt and date all over the place. because, basically, you’re free to flirt, Try different people on for size to see what makes you happy. perfect way to take full advantage of your freedom. Flirt all night in the chat room.
Be the King or Queen of your castle. Messy or compulsively neat?. Run around naked or wear your favorite Star Wars robe. Swear whenever you please. Be moody all the time. Rejoice in your singleness!
Experiment. Try new and different things--Forget the notion that you have to be part of a couple to be happy. so your best bet is to enjoy whatever’s on your plate at the moment and not worry about anyone else.
Treat yourself to something relaxing. Get a massage. Then, incorporate it into your life on a weekly, if not daily, basis.
Be entertained. At least once a week, do something that YOU find entertaining. Plan to watch your favorite TV show. Rent or go to a movie YOU want to see. Grab tickets to a concert that sounds cool. Invite someone with similar tastes or enjoy your diversion on your own. Who knows, if you go solo, you might even meet some new friends who have the same interests as you.
Indulge. Treat yourself the way you want your future significant other to treat you. Not only will this keep you happy for now, but when you do meet someone, it’ll show them what they have to live up to. Compliment yourself. Listen to your thoughts. Give yourself a break when you make a mistake. Give yourself weekly treats — flowers or a nice dinner--and at least one big present every month -- a new outfit or a night out on the town. With one less birthday to remember and all the money you’re not spending on your significant other, you’re free to take advantage and shower yourself with love... and gifts!
Get in shape, get healthy and do it just for you. Have lots of pals of the opposite sex. They will inspire you, be your stand-in dates, make other people jealous, and tell you all kinds of things you never knew. Most importantly, they will teach you to see the similarities between the sexes, which is never as easy to do when you’re dating.
Escape on a little getaway every month. Since there’s no one to think about but you, this is definitely the time to go whenever and wherever you please. Besides, even if it’s just a drive or a hike, getting out of town is one of the best ways to get back to basics and re-energize. And you never know what kinds of interesting people you might run into when you’re out and about being you!
Don’t be perfect. Being happy-go-lucky requires balance, which includes learning that it’s okay to make mistakes. This is a toughy, but if you’re ready to be a carefree single, it’s a good idea to give yourself a break and accept that you’re not perfect. Once you do this, you’ll feel so good that the next time you’re in a relationship, you’re sure to bring your new conviction with you... and hopefully take it a step further to realize that your partner makes mistakes too.
Do some soul searching. When you’re on your own, you can’t help but look at yourself and see things you don’t like. Be everything that you can be... for yourself and no one else.

Single Life

Absolutely. Its better to stay single than to be in a relationship with someone who is a constant nag. Now a relationship with the right person, that's another story.

Yup. You get to flirt with lots of girls at whatever age and it's always fun. After a while you realize you can't beat lonliness and that you may want someone depending upon how great you see your life as. My life right now as I see it looks bright and I'm havin' fun.

I disagree BC family is important and having a significant other is important. Life is about being happy and sharing your love and happiness with someone else

Uh, if it's someone that I can't tolerate, then the single life is better. But I'd rather be with someone, rather than be lonely.

I don't have a problem being single.
Most women run a mile as I am over 50 and disabled but who cares not me.

for a couple years it may be fun being single, but look at my aunt. my aunt is currently depressed. she feels like she has no purpose cause she doesn't have a family.
