reasons why i should stay single

ok i am at the point in my life where i have onlt had t 2= relationships, the longest being of 6months. quite frankly i am getting fed up with being single, but yet i know that i am not going to find anyone, cos i've worked out that that's life.

i need your help, please give me reasons as to why being single is better than having a significant other. i wanna look at this thread and remind myself why i am single! plus i bet it would also be of benefit to many others! :biggrin:

You can go out with your friends, get totally wasted and not have to worry about cheating on your other half. i.e. you can pull as many people as you like. Thats the best reason i ever found.

you don't have to give a damn about upsetting and fixing some acne-ridden teen guy who if you went out would, it would probably be completely pointless because the chance of you staying together is so small. You're freeee... sleep with whomever you please!

you dont need a man to have fun - go out with your friends and you dont have to worry about your man getting jealous. or you dont have to worry about trying not to cheat on him when that gorgeous guy comes and chats you up :smile:

also you do save money, and you're free to be as friendly with whichever guys you want to be without your boyfriend commenting :smile:

You can do what you want, when you want, go out with whoever you want.
You won't have to worry about choosing who to go out with, friends or boyfriend or any arguments or conflicts which could arise from that kind of situation.

I've always been single and I'm happy, you don't really need a boyfriend to be happy. Enjoy single life while you can :biggrin:

You can flirt outrageously with whoever you want
You wont have a big phone bill (i seem to run up a huge one even though I see my boyf everyday)
You wont have to worry about constantly having to look good for someone
You wont have to have the annoyance of removing so much body hair (if you do that :wink:

)
You wont have to worry about constantly apeasing somebody else...you just have you to make happy :smile:

By being single you can find out what it can be like being more independent, unless, of course, this is interefered with by relatives and/or friends. This, however, is not my case.

You think you have stuff to complain about by only having had 2 relationships at 17? And the longest "only" being 6 months? There are a lot of people, myself included, who hadn't had those opportunities at that age (to be honest, I'm still only in my first real relationship and that's only been 4 months) so count yourself lucky for what you have had. There'll be more.

tehe yeah not an 'adult' relationship then. But still, you can have a really serious relationship in just a month... length isn't necessarily an indicator of how far it went or feelings involved. 'The one' will come along when you least expect it, so i'm told.

You got given a flower by some random guy on the wrong bus didn't you? Why don't you go after him? :biggrin:

And why you're single - because you're an independent young woman who doesn't need a man to make her happy. You enjoy the freedom that comes with being single, the lack of having to answer to someone, and also the lack of risks and chances of heartbreaks. While risks are fun once in a while - risking it with the wrong guy can and probably will be disastrous. And you're too smart to fall for that one - why get hurt unnecessarily? Better wait for the right guy when it'll be worth it, rather than break your heart over someone who is really not worth it - eg, the wrong guy!

So you see, there is every reason to wait :smile:

being single is nothing to be ashamed of. Go listen to Natasha Bedingfield's "Single" :flute:

singggggglllllleeeee that's how I wanna be! :flute:

I'm single and I'm happy :biggrin:

while I also welcome the chance for a relationship, I'm not gonna go out looking and let the thing cloud everything I do and think. I'm too tired with worrying over this and that especially with relationship-related stuff and I wanna get on with living! I wanna live. When the guy comes, he comes - but for now, it's not the time. And I'm gonna enjoy what I have, not chase after what I don't have.
