No-one hogging a bed, as I'm sure that'll be annoying if I ever get a girl. No snoring as well.

Sharing a bed with someone is wonderful! But I'm not here to babble on about the best things about a relationship...

Things I like about being single:

None of my friends are bad influences.
I dont have to worry about being told off for not ringing/texting.
I dont have to worry about upseting a girl If I want to go out with my mates
I can fill my time how I want.
I can chat to any girl I want, without worrying about any consenquences.
I dont have to sneak around to arrange to have extra drinks somewhere... lol

Not having to tell someone when/where you're going. Aaaall the time.
Being able to wear/buy what you want.
Being able to go out drinking without having someone clamped to your side all night.
No interfering mothers (of theirs).

Depression. When you're not in a relationship you want to be in one (part of you anyway), and you're not , so you get depressed (well me anyway), and that gives you a reason to be in a bad mood and a snappy way and to be not-very-nice-all-the-time. Or an excuse, if you're normally that way.

Indeed. I'm quite happy to share some squirty cream, unless it's on top of some chocolate fudge cake.

The excitment of going out, meeting someone, flirting, seeing where it leads to, altho waiting for the phone to ring is agony!

Imaginary bf/gf's are much more perfect than the real thing!

Only having to deal with your issues.

More time for girly gossips/lads nights etc
